Chapter 62 - 58: Worried About You
Shen Jianian was lost in thought for quite a while, attracting Fu Jichen’s curiosity. He turned his head and casually glanced at the computer screen: "Let me see what you’re busy with."
Panic peaked as Shen Jianian snapped the lid shut and sat up slightly straighter: "N-nothing."
"Work emails and you’re afraid I’d see them?" Fu Jichen looked at her seriously, his tone somewhat earnest, yet mixed with a hint of jest.
Shen Jianian didn’t dare to gamble; Fu Jichen had a knack for reading people. She had experienced it before.
Quickly adjusting her expression, Shen Jianian half-truthfully said, "Secretary Zhu asked me to send some emails to certain people. One email was wrongly worded and I almost sent it out, it was a close call."
"I see?"
"Yeah."
With one hand pressing down on the computer, Shen Jianian steadied her nerves and put it back in her bag.
When they arrived at Rose Manor, dinner was ready, all laid out on the table. Shen Jianian had no time to deal with emails, carried her bag upstairs to put it away, then nonchalantly went downstairs to eat.
Like a thief clutching treasures, trying hard to act innocent in a crowd.
The meal was eaten in frequent distraction, unable to taste what the food even was.
Finishing hastily, Shen Jianian continued to feign calm, exchanged a word with Fu Jichen, and left the dining table first, going upstairs to lock herself in the room.
