Chu Yao gave a tentative wave. "G... good morning."
Wei Ming, standing a step behind Lu Xize, silently glanced at his wrist. His watch read: 4:55 PM.
Wei Ming straightened up and bowed respectfully to Chu Yao. "Mrs. Lu."
As if she'd seen her savior, Chu Yao hurriedly waved at him too. "Uh, you two are busy, right? I won't bother you, then. Bye-bye."
Chu Yao tried to slip away as soon as she finished speaking. She had just turned around, not yet taking a single step, when a hand gripped her wrist.
"Wei Ming, you're off for the day."
"Yes, President Lu."
As Wei Ming took the other elevator down, Lu Xize pulled Chu Yao to him, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "Bad-mouthing me?"
Chu Yao said, "...It was a misunderstanding."
"Hm?"
