Chapter 578 - A massive storm of scandal is brewing!
“To have lunch?!”
Qin Qitong exclaimed in shock right after his statement.
Her petite face was filled with disbelief.
“Cousin, your joke isn’t the least bit funny.” She pouted softly.
Everyone knows how picky with food cousin is. Who’s gonna believe that he’s here at the company’s canteen for lunch?!
Yes, yes. This joke isn’t even funny. In fact, it sounds scary.
Pei Ge was thinking the same thing.
“Mhm.” The man did not care two hoots about her fierce glare. Instead, he found her to be extremely adorable and watched her retreating back with happily pursed lips.
“Cousin, are you happy?” His cousin boldly asked him this question upon noting the slight upward curl of his lips.
His brows moved ever so slightly at her question, and then he directed his cold gaze on her. “Why are you still here?”
“…” She felt gloomy at his disdainful tone.
I am your cousin! Your family! I’m no stranger!
“Cousin, where else can I be if not here? I haven’t finished my lunch,” she retorted softly, shooting him a grudge-filled gaze.
Sigh. My cousin is the type to discard his sister when in love, huh…
Ugh. Still, I don’t recall my cousin ever doing his part as my family…
“Five minutes. Leave once you finish your food.” He did not bother giving them any face.
Pan Xinlei, who was feeling curious about all this, confirmed her conjecture that her good friend had something going with their big boss when she heard the man’s order!
I see! Our respectable CEO Ji is here because of Pei Ge! He’s even chasing us, the third wheels, away!
“Cousin! You-You are too—” She did not get to finish her grumbling as his next words shut her up.
“Four minutes. Otherwise, I’ll have you finish your internship at Uncle’s company.”
Pei Ge was wholly ignorant to the three people’s exchange in the canteen.
The pitiful her took the elevator down and rushed into the nearest supermarket to get a new set of utensils for a certain Mr. CEO. Thereafter, she hurriedly took the elevator up to return to the canteen.
Blissfully thinking about her lunch, she never expected to face a massive storm of scandal upon her return.
She happily bounced on her feet as she made her way back into the canteen with the utensils in hand, only to feel awkward right away when she sensed everyone’s gazes on her.
Strange. Why are all these people staring at me?
Feeling confused inside, she walked to the table she and her office friends were occupying and was dumbfounded by what she saw!
“Th-This…”
Where are Qitong and Sister Xinlei?! Also, what the hell is all this on the table?!
