Chapter 439 unedited
After hanging up the call, An Xiulan felt how stupid she was being. She buried her face in her hand and groaned. What was she thinking? Why was she thinking so extreme? She didn't need to think about such things. However, she didn't blame herself. Her emotions brought out the worst of her.
She decided to call Han Zixin but as she dialed his number, she realized that it was switched off. He must be on duty, that's why he could not use his personal number. Usually, whenever he was busy his personal number would be switched off and if someone had to urgently deliver him a message, they had to use his office number.
She didn't call his office number because she knew that he would not be able to talk for long and it would do her more wrong than good. Thus, she decided to wait.
The day at the office was uneventful. She and her colleagues were working on the old cases. The day ended too slowly, much to her feelings. Never had she ever felt the time to pass ten times slower.
"Miss An?" The assistant said as she appeared on the door. "Are you leaving?"
"Just in sometime, "An Xiulan said as she was clearing her desk to go back. She decided to drive to Han Zixin place first. She would just text her mother that she would get late or would stay outside. Recently, she noticed that her mother would not ask her why she occasionally stayed outside. Perhaps, it was because they realized that she was no longer a sixteen years old little girl who used to live with them. n/-OveLb1n
The assistant looked hesitant.
"Is there something?" An Xiulan asked her.
"Mrs Mu is here to see you, "The assistant said.
An Xiulan looked at the time and then at the assistant. "Mrs Mu as in?"
"The celebrity?" An Xiulan asked. The only Mrs Mu she could think of right now was Mu Wanwan's stepmother. Why would she be here? Most of all, why would Mrs Mu meet her? Didn't she hate her?
"Yes, "The assistant said.
"She said that CEO Amanda has to pay her overtime if Mrs Mu wants to meet her as it was past her office hours, "The first assistant muttered.
"What?" The second assistant asked.
Behind Ananda raised her brow as she heard it.
"Did she really say that?" The second assistant said.
The first assistant nodded her head.
"I mean, we get it that Mr Lu is her father but it doesn't mean she will treat people like this, "The second assistant said.
The first assistant didn't say anything.
"Do you think Miss An is showing her authority now?" The second assistant said.
"Authority?" The first one asked.
"Of course, she might be getting greedy for power, "The second assistant whispered. "After all, Mr Lu is old and he is one of the biggest shareholders. Miss An might want to be the next CEO. I heard CEO Li threatened by Miss An's influence in the office."
"Who is telling you these things?" The first assistant asked, annoyed.
"You might not know but I heard the other assistants talk in the pantry one day, "She said. "I thought you will know since you work for her. Tell me is it true?"
