Chapter 620: As Long as She’s ‘Passionate’ Towards You
“I’m sorry, Mr. Shi! I… I’ll definitely not apply for leave again the next time…”
Zuo Weiyi could not help but frown in puzzlement as she looked at Xiao Cui who kept apologizing and his face that had suddenly darkened. She hurriedly pulled him out of the kitchen and into the living room.
“Why are you blaming Xiao Cui? She had already applied for leave before, and it was for two hours. She didn’t exceed the limit.”
Shi Yuting turned his gaze away and stared at her, his face extremely dark.
“I invited her here to take care of you. If she can’t do this well, she doesn’t need to stay here anymore.” His face was cold and merciless.
“Everyone has their own private matters. Shi Yuting, you’re too cold!”
He leaned over and suddenly approached her. “As long as she’s ‘passionate’ towards you.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, he smiled charmingly before turning around to go to the second floor.
Zuo Weiyi stood where she was as he walked away. Then, she looked away and frowned.
Why did he say ‘passionate’ so ambiguously?
Or was it just her imagination?
She turned around and walked to the kitchen.
“Xiao Cui, you don’t have to take his words to heart. I will always hire you. If you don’t want to do it anymore, you can tell me anytime.” Zuo Weiyi treated Xiao Cui well.
Since Xiao Cui was in love, it meant that one day she would get married and live her own life.
Xiao Cui immediately turned around and pursed her lips slightly. “Thank you, Madam. If you don’t mind, of course I hope to continue working here, but…”
Her gaze involuntarily went to the kitchen door.
Zuo Weiyi seemed to have read her mind and smiled. “Didn’t I just say that you don’t have to take his words to heart?”
She knew very well that Shi Yuting didn’t have any ill intentions. If he was too heartless and cold to Xiao Cui, it was only because he cared too much about Weiyi.
Xiao Cui smiled. “Thank you, Madam. I’ll definitely take fewer days off from now on. For today’s, it was only because it’s Xiao Song’s birthday, so…”
She lowered her head. She had wanted to celebrate his birthday after work tonight, but Xiao Song had to work the night shift.
Seeing that the husband and wife were going out in the morning, she decided to take a two-hour leave, hoping to rush back before lunch.
“I understand. Alright, now cook!” Zuo Weiyi patted her arm, smiled, and left the kitchen.
When she arrived in the living room, Shi Yuting just happened to have come downstairs with a document.
“Aren’t you going to finish your meal before you leave?”
“I have an emergency meeting. I’ll eat at the office later,” he said softly and then strode toward the door.
Zuo Weiyi looked at the clock on the wall. It was ten past eleven.
…
After lunch, it was twelve o’clock sharp.
Sitting at the dining table, Zuo Weiyi couldn’t help but wonder if Shi Yuting had eaten by this time?
After some thought, she got up and walked to the living room to call Shi Yuting’s number.
The call was picked up after two rings.
“What’s wrong?”His deep and charming voice came from the receiver.
“Have you eaten?” She asked.
“No, the meeting hasn’t ended yet.” In the huge office, everyone was silent, waiting for him to finish the call before continuing.
“Then, should I send some over?”
Hearing this, Shi Yuting frowned. “Send some over?”
“Yes, the dishes today are very nutritious and healthy, better than the ones outside.”
