He’s not letting me go upstairs?

He’s guarding against me just as if he’s guarding against a thief. He might as well not even let me enter his house.

Gu Li couldn’t help complaining, but she still smiled and asked the receptionist, “When did he give the order?”

“This afternoon.”

The receptionist answered truthfully.

This afternoon?

Gu Li frowned, unable to figure out how she had offended him.

She walked to the sofa in a corner of the lobby and called Mo Shiting.

The man didn’t answer and only replied her with a question mark. [?]

Very well. You’re a man of few words, right?

Gu Li took a deep breath and copied him. [??]

After waiting for a long time, he didn’t reply. Gu Li exploded in anger. [Mo Shiting, I’m at your company’s lobby. Why aren’t you letting me go up?]

She originally thought that he wouldn’t reply, but unexpectedly, he replied to her instantly. [Think about it yourself.]

Gu Li puffed up her cheeks and quickly typed on her phone. [Give me a hint, Big Brother Ting.]

He pursed his lips lightly and replied, “Wait downstairs.”

When Gu Li saw this message, she subconsciously glanced at the time. It was almost six in the evening. Is he asking me to wait for him to get off work?

That’s fine too. I have nothing else to do anyways.

Gu Li sat down and started playing games on her phone.

With that, she waited until eight in the evening.

After the meeting ended, Mo Shiting went down to the lobby. From afar, he saw the girl sitting with her legs crossed and her head lowered as she played with her phone.

The man’s gaze was fixed on her fair and straight legs, and his eyes darkened slightly.

The dress is too short.

Gu Li was having so much fun that she didn’t notice that someone was approaching her at all until he walked up to her and snatched her phone away.

“Hey, return it to me—”
