Chapter 123 - 122 When and Where Exactly (6)
Secretary Lin stared at the words above, momentarily stunned. If she remembered correctly, the Boss had only a meeting in the morning and an appointment with a business partner in the afternoon, almost nothing important after that. So why did he have her say he was unavailable?
It seemed the Boss didn’t want to have dinner with Miss Dong. Hearing Miss Dong’s sincere invitation, he just rejected it like that. Wouldn’t Miss Dong be heartbroken?
Secretary Lin couldn’t help but feel a little sympathetic toward Dong Xin Yan. She had originally thought the Boss had some interest in Dong Xin Yan, yet he was so cold.
Of course, sympathy aside, Secretary Lin could only respond according to Gu Ningyi’s wishes, but she still instinctively softened the tone of rejection.
"I’m sorry, Miss Dong. Mr. Gu’s schedule is very full tomorrow, I’m afraid he won’t have time to come back for dinner. But I will definitely convey your kind gesture to him."
As Dong Xin Yan listened to Secretary Lin say that Mr. Gu’s schedule was very full tomorrow, her anxious heart suddenly settled, and she couldn’t help but smile.
Heaven was still looking out for her; it seemed Gu Ningyi wouldn’t be coming back tomorrow. She could relax and celebrate Ziyang’s birthday.
However, hearing Secretary Lin’s final words scared her heart into her throat, making her hastily say, "No, no, no! No need to tell Gu Ningyi, please don’t tell him!"
"Huh?"
