Chapter 396 Mistress

• It was already nearing five when she got back to her office. Lu Yao called Zhou Linlin, “I can’t go to the outing this weekend. Why don’t we have a meal together tonight?” After Zhou Linlin had agreed to it, Lu Yao looked at the time on her laptop, then she hung up and continued working. After she had got off from work, Lu Yao stopped when she went past the common area of the marketing department. A moment later, she went inside and stopped at Liao Qiu’s place. The young lady was working overtime, so she didn’t realize Lu Yao had come. The woman waited for a while before knocking on her desk.
• “Director Lu.” A hint of panic flashed on her face, then she stood up. “Anything I can help you with?”
• Lu Yao finally managed to observe her. A moment of silence later, she smiled. “I’ll be bringing you on a business trip to Beijing this weekend. It’ll last a few weeks. Do tell someone to take over your work over the next couple of days, and make the arrangements for your family. I’ll tell you about the details later.” She made this clear simply, while Liao Qiu stood rooted to the ground, as if she was in a trance. “This is a good chance to train yourself. Make the necessary preparations.” Lu Yao tried her best to remain gentle. That supposedly exciting declaration was made robotic, almost emotionless by her. She remembered telling someone something similar, but the end was disappointing. Lu Yao didn’t expect to suddenly think of Mu Ming, but the moment she remembered him, the woman was swallowed by melancholy.
