Chapter 2861

Seeing si linna’s disbelieving expression, Ji Ziming smiled helplessly and looked at the computer screen again. He shook his head and continued,””I’m just looking at my emails. Aileen said that she has a few important emails that she needs to reply to immediately, and there’s a video conference with the Florence Branch. Because of the time difference, she asked me to deal with it after work. I say, si linna, I’m still the chairman of a company. I don’t have to report everything to you, do I?”

“Alright, seeing how sincere you are, and there are no outsiders here, I’ll believe you for the time being.” As si linna spoke, she straightened her body, looked at her watch, and said disappointedly,””At this time, you rejected my date invitation again. It seems that I can only go hunt for food and then hang out in the bar. CEO Ji, see you tomorrow!”

Sighing, Ji Ziming finally managed to get rid of this troublesome overseas returnee. With a nod, si linna wriggled her sexy waist and disappeared from his office.

However, outside the office door, a beautiful figure was pacing back and forth after a while. It was Liu Lina.

She had originally wanted to use the new jewelry company’s administrative work as an excuse to have a good talk with Ji Ziming, but when she arrived, he was either in a meeting, reviewing the first draft, or having afternoon tea with si linna and PEI GE.

This infuriated Liu Lina, who was stopped outside the door by Aileen’s Secretary several times. This time, she was waiting for Aileen to get off work to try her luck, but she did not expect to really run into Ji Ziming working overtime.

Seeing si linna walk out of Ji Ziming’s office sulkily and take the elevator to leave, Liu Lina stood behind Qiang with her hands on her hips and her lips curled up into a devilish smile.””Ji Ziming, Pei Pei is working overtime downstairs, and so are you. It seems like the heavens are on my side!”

“Ding! Ding!” Soon, the phone in his office rang.

Ji Ziming had just finished a video conference. He looked at his watch and saw that it was 7:30 pm.

Because Irene had gotten off work, no one picked up the call, so the call was directly transferred to his office. He mumbled,””It’s so late, who would call the president’s office?”

However, after saying that, he still picked up the call.””Hello, I’m ji Ziming!”

“Hello, Mr. Ji. I’m from Meituan take-out, and the take-out you ordered has arrived. However, I saw that the elevator to the top floor of the 33rd floor was closed, so I’m at the entrance of the design department on the 32nd floor. Please come down and get it! Thank you!”

On the other end of the phone was the anxious voice of the delivery man.

“Take-out? But I didn’t order any takeaway. ” The man blurted out, clearly confused by this uninvited guest.

“Oh, it’s like this. I can’t see the customer’s information here, but the phone number and address are left here. It’s the 33rd floor of family Ji’s enterprise building. The number is the one I’m calling now. You are Mr. Ji, right?” The delivery man confirmed again.

“The address, phone number, and my last name are all correct, but …” He was still hesitating. He did not want to take the takeaway, for he did not have the habit of eating it.

“Mr. Ji, please don’t say ‘just’. I’m delivering a five-star hotel’s order. If I exceed the time, I might get a bad review. If you have any questions, you can take the takeaway and throw it away, but please understand me. I didn’t send it to the wrong place. You can think about it later and see if it was ordered by your colleague or lover. Please help me sign for it first!”

The deliveryman’s tone became even more urgent. He said a long string of words in one breath, full of pleading.

Ji Ziming’s brows furrowed. Sighing, he considered the difficulties of various industries and could only get up to go downstairs.

After signing the delivery man’s name, he thanked the man.””Mr. Ji, thank you so much! Otherwise, all my orders today would have been in vain. Alright, take a good look at these dishes, they’re all exquisite and Noble! It would be a waste if I don’t eat it. I took the order from the Wanfeng hotel! You can enjoy it slowly. It’s a gift from a colleague or friend, right?”

After that, the delivery man packed up the order and quickly went to the next store.

Ji Ziming, who was still cold and ignorant, looked at the food on the table and pondered.””Colleagues? A friend?” The deliveryman’s words kept replaying in his mind as he muttered to himself,””Could it be her?”

He thought of PEI GE and paused for a moment before feeling that it should not be her.

It could also be si linna. Only she knew that she was working overtime and hadn’t eaten. But … He quickly overthrew it. “I rejected her invitation. Would she be so kind as to order takeaway for me?”

He really couldn’t think of who it was, but looking at the pile of food, it would be a waste if he didn’t eat it. He couldn’t finish it all by himself.

He relaxed his brows and looked at the light in PEI GE’s office, which was in the design department, with his deep-set eyes. His eyes suddenly lit up and, for some reason, he walked in with the food.

PEI GE’s petite face was illuminated by the light. As Ji Ziming walked closer to her, he held his breath as he watched her intently editing the draft. He was afraid that if he made too much noise, he would alert the beautiful moonlight through the glass window.

After a long time, he was actually entranced.

At this moment, she seemed to be tired. She yawned, put down her brush, and stretched her back, her delicate face showing signs of fatigue.

After putting her hands down, she crossed her arms and massaged her neck back and forth. After relaxing and taking a deep breath, she finally felt more awake. She then picked up the cup beside her and wanted to drink some water.

Ji Ziming’s deep-set eyes were fixed on her every move, as if every scene was a classic painting that he wanted to keep for himself.

Just as she raised the cup to her lips, she suddenly frowned. Realizing that the cup was empty, she pouted and stood up, intending to go to the pantry to get a cup of water.

It was only when she was about to reach the office door that the man snapped out of his daze and realized that he was still there.

She was clearly taken aback by the man’s presence at the door. Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed in shock, just like how she did that morning when she saw him.”CEO … CEO Ji, why are you still in the office?”

“I … Er …” He stammered, unable to say a word. If not for the dim lighting, his face, which was red from holding back his anger, would have been fully exposed to her.
