I don’t know when Gu Yuanzhou realized I was gone.

What does him standing by the door in the middle of the night mean?

After a moment of confusion, I quickly held my composure, took off my face mask, and began to explain to him,

“I met a friend and had arranged to meet at a bar. I just went there.”

A lie? I could think of one easily.

Gu Yuanzhou’s dark eyes stared into mine for a long time,

“A man?”

Initially, I thought of making up a story.

But then it occurred to me that he is merely my boss, not my husband. I have no duty or obligation to explain everything to him so explicitly.

So I responded nonchalantly,

“Uh! Can I withhold that information?!”

“Just a reminder, you’re not allowed to date while on a business trip!’

“President Gu…This isn’t work hours, why not?”

“You’re my employee, and I’m responsible for your personal safety! It’s too dangerous to be out so late!”

He sternly interrupted me, completely uninterested in hearing any further explanation.

When I returned to my room, his piercing gaze followed my silhouette.

Even without looking back, I could feel his scrutinizing stare.

The next morning.

We once again attended a fashion show business event.

Unexpectedly, an outrageous incident occurred in the meantime.

At the time, our booth had an event where we showcased our product and sought potential customers.

We arrived early and there weren’t many guests yet, so I was browsing the news on my phone.

There was a report about a mysterious power outage at an internet cafe last

Since the incident was minor, it didn’t attract much attention.

However, another piece of news had made the headlines.

The wife of the famous director Zhou had an affair with a little-known actor; their intimate photos were all over the internet, and the comments section was exploding.

“Who would have thought Mrs. Zhou would be so shameless?”

“Rumor has it that the two haven’t had feelings for each other for a long time now, but Mrs. Zhou doesn’t want to split the property, which is why they can’t get a divorce.”

“Since Director Zhou has found this scandal, even if they don’t want to, they’ll have to divorce…

This must be my doing.

After reading the news, I attended to the first wave of customers of the day.

I dealt with them graciously.

Seeing my thriving business, the woman from the neighboring fashion company booth grew envious.

She approached me,

“I see you have good sales skills. How about this? Come to our company, and I’ll double your salary.”

“Sorry, your products are not up to standard, changing the salesperson won’t make any difference! ”

Maybe she thought I was an easy target, or just a worker.

This woman wanted to put me in my place and started to argue with me.

She was loudly yelling at me, pointing at my nose,

“You overstepped! You’re encroaching on my space, move this table inside.”

This table was clearly closer to our side of the middle line, she was just making a fuss to humiliate me.

I argued my case with her.

Had I been back home, I would have dealt with this shrew with a slap.

However, the more I reasoned, the more she thought I was easy to bully and took a cup of milk tea, splashing it onto my face.

Just then, a stern shout interrupted her.

“Stop!’

It was Gu Yuanzhou rushing over.

He pushed the woman away and shielded me behind him.

Seeing that assistance had arrived, the woman retired, but Gu Yuanzhou was not ready to let her off so easily.

He dialed the police directly.
