Chapter 723: Blocked You
Shen Dong didn’t want Zhang Tao to feel that his own authority as a boss wasn’t enough, so he intentionally said this, making Zhang Tao almost cry upon hearing it. How could he have known that at the very moment he was eating frogs, his female colleague happened to expose her bracelet and even voiced those words?
If he had known, he wouldn’t have sent that message and caused such a huge misunderstanding. And if he had been aware of the mistake, he would have explained it right away instead of waiting for someone to confront him about not replying promptly. How pitiful this all is, looking up and down, he felt like he was utterly jinxed.
"It’s okay, she probably just had her phone run out of battery while we were on the call, so she couldn’t answer the phone. Just wait a little longer, maybe it will have some charge then, and I’ll call her for you again. The dishes have just come; let’s eat first. You don’t need to be so anxious. Even if it doesn’t work out, I can directly take you to the store and you can explain to her in person,"
Shen Dong said, comforting him while thinking of quickly getting this matter over with. The moment the food arrived, the aroma was tempting, but for some reason, Zhang Tao couldn’t bring himself to eat. He felt wronged, and the food no longer seemed appetizing. He felt so miserable, feeling unjustly accused.
He wanted to quickly prove that he wasn’t a scumbag. Why was it so difficult? He ate absentmindedly, half-heartedly, constantly asking Shen Dong if he could make another phone call. Shen Dong felt that calling again would most likely result in being rejected, so he thought it better not to call anymore.
"Look, it’s still early. If you keep calling her, she might block me too, thinking it’s because you are next to me, which is why she isn’t answering. Let’s not keep calling. I’ll arrange something else for you later, don’t worry,"
"But I don’t want to worry either. I just feel that I can’t eat until this matter is resolved. It’s causing me so much distress. If it could be cleared up quickly, I would feel so much better. I just want to get this trouble out of the way, you know? Otherwise, I just can’t eat," Zhang Tao said.
"Alright, it’s not like there’s no solution. Maybe she knows you’re with me, which is why she doesn’t want to answer my calls, or perhaps she has even blocked me. Why don’t you try calling her with your own phone? Since you’ve only added her as a friend and haven’t shared contact details, she won’t know it’s you calling,"
