Chapter 486

[Have you had dinner?]

Qiao Anhao looked at the takeaway on the table . [No, I'm not hungry . ]

This time, Lu Jinnian replied instantly . [Do you want to eat supper tonight?]

With hesitation, she replied, [Yep . ]

[I'll contact you when I'm done . ]

Before she could reply, her phone suddenly rang —it was a call from Qiao family . Without hesitation, Qiao Anhao picked up, and the moment she did, her aunt's urgent voice came through . "Qiao Qiao, do you have time now? Come back right away . "

"Now?"

"Yes, right now . "

Qiao Qiao could hear the seriousness from her aunt's voice . It sounded as if something serious had happened, so she replied with a faint "yea" before adding, " I understand, I'll come over now . "

–

Huan Ying had several new projects recently, causing Lu Jinnian to be unusually busy . The entire company was working overtime just to get things done .

Expressionless, Lu Jinnian listened to the ideas from the project manager . He glanced over at his phone . When he realized that Qiao Anhao hadn't replied to his text, he locked his phone, placing his focus back on the screen .

Just then, the meeting room door was pushed open and a secretary that hadn't knocked off came in . She signaled towards Lu Jinnian's assistant . He stopped typing, and without interfering with anyone else, he silently left the room . After a while, he silently returned back to his chair . Turning to Lu Jinnian, he whispered in his ear, "Mr . Lu, the elder Miss Qiao is here, she wants to see you . "

Curiosity flitted past his gaze, before his expression turned calm once more .

His assistant added softly, "I told to the secretary to bring her to the lounge . "

Lu Jinnian nodded faintly . He glanced at his phone before returning his attention to the meeting .

After about an hour, the meeting ended; it was currently 8 . 10 pm . Lu Jinnian packed the documents on his table and left the room . When he was outside, he saw an impatient Qiao Anxia . Seeing him, she immediately walked forward, and in an imprudent tone, she said, "Lu Jinnian, lets have a talk . "

Lu Jinnian remained emotionless . Without even glancing at her, he brushed past and walked towards his office .

The assistant smiled politely at Qiao Anxia . "Miss Qiao, if there is anything, you can speak to Mr . Lu in his office . "

Qiao Anxia glared at the assistant, then, turning, stomped behind Lu Jinnian .

Lu Jinnian pushed open his office door, walking straight to his chair . Ever since early in the morning, he had only casually taken a small snack in the afternoon . He spent the rest of the day immersed in his work, so he felt extremely tired . With raised hands, he massaged his temples .

His assistant escorted Qiao Anxia into the office, and after personally making two cups of coffee, he placed them on the table before leaving the office .
