“You going back is no problem, why not stay here with me?” Gu Shaoting said casually.
“You focus on your work. I have things to attend to. I’m leaving.” Shu Pan disregarded his insistence, opened the door, and left.
As Shu Pan emerged from the elevator into the lobby, she saw the woman she collided with still standing there.
Shu Pan initially wanted to diffuse the situation and hurry away, but Charlene caught sight of her.

Because she was wearing stiletto heels today, she had twisted a bit when they collided. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and didn’t fall to the ground, but the documents in her hand were scattered everywhere.
Seeing her again, with such an innocent look, Shu Pan felt enraged. Why was it that she could bump into someone and be unscathed while she felt like a clown? The people around were probably reveling in her misfortune.
Shu Pan froze at the stern tone. Slowly, she turned to face Charlene. “I’m sorry, I had an urgent matter and wasn’t paying attention. I apologize for bumping into you.”
Technically, Shu Pan had already apologized, and both parties were at fault. This incident should’ve been settled, but Charlene, in a bad mood lately, held onto every little thing.
Moreover, for sreason, she just didn’t like Shu Pan’s innocent demeanor, which was so attractive and something she lacked. Hence, she harbored unwarranted hostility.
“Is sorry enough? Will that heal my foot?” Charlene was adamant, refusing to let the matter go.
“What do you want?” Shu Pan was getting angry too. Even the most patient person would likely lose their temper in this situation.
It was outrageous. Both were at fault, apologies had been made, yet she was being so unreasonable.
“What do I want? Tell me, which department are you from? If there’s something wrong with my foot, I’ll know who to find.” Charlene, having joined the company recently, didn’t know many people. She believed Shu Pan was from the company; otherwise, she wouldn’t be moving around the office so freely.
After all, the company’s security was tight, and it wasn’t easy for strangers to cin, let alone deliver documents.
“I’m not working here. If your foot is really hurting, please inform Secretary Zhang. He knows me. My nis Shu Pan.” Shu Pan didn’t want to get entangled with her, nor did she want to tell her that she knew Gu Shaoting, lest she be accused of taking advantage of her connection.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Know Secretary Zhang? Who are you trying to fool? Anyone and everyone claim to know someone important around the CEO.” Charlene snorted, clearly not believing what Shu Pan said.
Shu Pan was truly defeated by her. Ah, who would have thought someone could be so petty?
Such an innocent face, yet such a malicious heart.
“You can call Secretary Zhang, or if you really think your foot is injured, I can accompany you to the hospital now.” Shu Pan said patiently. She didn’t want to beca spectacle here, as it also concerned Gu Shaoting’s reputation.
Seeing her sincerity, and noticing more onlookers gathering around, Charlene didn’t want to leave a bad impression.
Then, she magnanimously said, “Forget it, not worth my time. Hope you remember to open your eyes when you walk next time.”
That was clearly a jab at Shu Pan’s vision, truly malicious.
Shu Pan was speechless. Oh well, she forgot to check the almanac before leaving today.
It was like being bitten by a dog. With that, she muttered “Sorry” to Charlene and then left with her backpack.
