Chapter 183: Such Hypocrisy!
When Lu Zhaoyang went to work, she found Mo Shan, who had not visited for some time, in Huo Yunting’s office.
The woman was standing beside Huo Yunting, smiling very happily.
Lu Zhaoyang could not understand what the man was thinking.
He loved to tease Mo Shan, but refused to divorce her — why?
“Brother Yunting, your sister doesn’t look very well today. Did you give her too much work?”
Mo Shan asked as she began to consider another idea of hers.
She had not stopped trying to find a way into Thunderbolt Corp.
Since she could not work here, stopping Lu Zhaoyang from working here would be an acceptable Plan B.
The point was, she must stop them from spending time with each other so much.
Huo Yunting looked up to study her face. There was nothing unusual about it except for some signs of tiredness. He must have worn her down a little in the morning just now.
He smiled thinly and said, “She is doing very well, no need for you to worry.”
Mo Shan’s eyes flashed in hatred, but she continued with fake innocence, “Brother Yunting, your sister is just a woman. Being the head secretary must be a tough job. Zhaoyang must never have time to find love. She’s at the right age to get a boyfriend. I think the young Mr Lin is not a bad candidate, and he’s fallen in love with her at first sight. Why don’t you try and learn more about him? You may just be surprised by what you find!”
Lu Zhaoyang placed the documents in her hands onto the office desk and looked coolly at Huo Yunting.
The man looked back with an unreadable smile, waiting for her reaction.
She replied calmly, “I’m at an age where my career is very important to me. Dating can still wait.”
If she really felt like dating someone, Huo Yunting would crush that man before she even had the chance to ask.
Lu Zhaoyang took a furtive look at Huo Yunting and noticed his smile deepening, as though satisfied by her answer.
Mo Shan thought that she was making excuses to stay by Huo Yunting’s side.Really, she will say anything to avoid leaving him!
Mo Shan sneaked a look at Huo Yunting and continued with affected sincerity, “A family is more important than a career to a woman. Let the men take care of careers. I really think that Mr Lin is a good man.”
“If that’s the case, why don’t you try it out with him, Ms Mo?” Lu Zhaoyang retorted flatly.
“We’re only friends.”
“I see. He and I are not even that.”
Lu Zhaoyang retrieved the documents that Huo Yunting had signed and swiftly left his office.
The way Mo Shan treated her with so much pretense was simply disgusting!
Once the office door closed, Mo Shan tried another strategy. “Brother Yunting, I heard from someone in the office just now that your sister has already fallen for someone, is it true?”
She had heard that a man had visited during working hours and left the office with Lu Zhaoyang.
Huo Yunting smiled coolly. “Since when are you so interested in gossip?”
“This concerns your sister’s happiness, how could you call it gossip?”
“She’s my sister, not yours.”
“…”
Mo Shan was confused. They were just one step away from being engaged, and that would make his family hers anyway.
Moreover, he had waited until Lu Zhaoyang left before he said anything on the matter.
She stopped herself from saying more on the subject, and watched as Huo Yunting stood up and walked toward the office door.
Abruptly, he stopped and turned around to look at Mo Shan, who was still caught up in her thoughts. He did not fail to notice the hint of resentment in her eyes.
“You should go. No point hanging around in my office, right?”
