Chapter 482 - Pei Ge, I will be checking your cooking skills today!
She sat by herself in Bauhinia Court’s reception area and soon spotted Li Qi running toward her while panting.
“Mi-Miss Pei, I’m really sorry. I carelessly got the dates mixed up! I’m terribly sorry!” He bowed so deeply to her he was close to genuflecting.
She quickly got up off the sofa at this solemn display of his.
“It’s fine; it’s fine. Don’t do that. It’s also my fault. If I weren’t so careless, you wouldn’t even be making this kind of mistake.” She shook her head in reassurance.
He was deeply moved by her reassuring words.
“Miss Pei, thank you so much. I heard from Brother Du that you don’t want to swap me out. I’m truly very grateful to you for that. You are such a good person,” he said, abashed.
Having been issued the ‘nice person’ card, she laughed in amusement. “It’s not your fault in the first place. Plus, your driving is really good. It’s fast yet stable, so there’s no point in swapping you out.”
She exasperatedly rolled her eyes at him again.
Tsk! This annoying fellow must be calling to mock me!
“Yes, I’m still here. Now… Zi. Ming. You can hang up now,” she said with evident annoyance.
“I’ll come over this afternoon.” The man appeared not to have picked up the hint that she did not welcome his presence.
“… Huh? You’re coming this afternoon? What for?” she asked, baffled. To mock me in my face?
“To check your study progress over these last two days.” He sounded like her form teacher.
“… It’s just been two days. What is there to check? Honestly speaking, I haven’t learned anything useful these two days, so you totally don’t need to come over—” Her words were cut short by the man.
“I’ll be coming over to check your cooking skills,” he replied in a serious tone.
“…” She was momentarily made speechless by his reply.
Oh, please! Great CEO Ji, can your skin be any thicker? What do you mean by checking my cooking skills?! Just tell me to cook for you if that’s what you want!
So much for checking my cooking skills!
“You’re not allowed to leave. If you do, I’ll deduct half a month’s worth of your pay.” He readily made use of his trump card when he did not receive a reply from her.
Of course, she could not continue maintaining her silence at that.
“I. understand! I. will. definitely. wait. for. you. this. afternoon!”
