When Qiao Anxia finished speaking, she wanted to hang up, but then she heard a familiar voice from the other side, "Miss Da Qiao . . . "
Qiao Anxia suddenly paused what she was doing .
Lu Jinnian's assistant? Could it be that Lu Jinnian was looking for her? Why was he looking for her?
An array of skeptic thoughts instantly flashed across Qiao Anxia's mind . She paused for just ten seconds, then brought the phone back to her ear . "I'm on my way down . "
With that, she hung up . Qiao Anhao then threw the documents for the meeting onto the desk and turned to leave the office . She didn't even wait for the secretary in the meeting room to speak before she throwing at her, "Push back the meeting by an hour" . Then she stomped over, swiftly and decisively, towards the elevators in her high heels .
As she stepped out of the elevator, Qiao Anxia glanced over at Lu Jinnian's assistant, who stood at the entrance of the lobby .
At the sound of Qiao Anxia's high heels striding over toward him, the assistant turned his head and immediately said, "Miss Da Qiao, Mr . Lu is looking for you . "
Qiao Anxia lifted her chin up slightly and scanned all around her . With Lu Jinnian nowhere to be seen, she furrowed her brows . "Where is he?"
"Mr . Lu is waiting for you in the car outside," the assistant said .
Qiao Anxia gave a quick nod, then strode through the doors . After taking just two steps, she suddenly pointed at a nearby cafe . "If there's something he has to say, let's talk there . "
"All right, I'll inform Mr . Lu . "
Qiao Anxia didn't say a word, walking straight towards the cafe .
She found a quiet corner in the cafe and took a seat . Just as she ordered two cups of coffee with the baristas, she saw Lu Jinnian walk through the doors . A trace of shock instantly rose from her furrowed brows when her eyes fell on his body .
His clothes were creased up, and there were water stains from what seemed like the rain . There were circles of mud marks, his hair was a mess, and his face was pale white . He looked rather worse for wear .
In all the years Qiao Anxia had known Lu Jinnian, this was the first time she'd ever seen him like this .
From what she remembered, even during middle high, though the poor Lu Jinnian always wore his school uniform, he'd always looked clean and tidy .
What got into him? How did he end up looking so depressed?
Lu Jinnian pulled the chair opposite Qiao Anxia and sat down . He gave her a slight nod of greeting .
Qiao Anxia put away the skepticism in her heart and simply asked, "I ordered coffee, hope that's alright?"
Lu Jinnian nodded once again, paused for a moment and added, "Thank you . "
"You're welcome . " Qiao Anxia raised her hand and flicked her hair . Then stared at Lu Jinnian and asked, "You wanted to see me?"
"Qiao Qiao?" said Lu Jinnian the moment Qiao Anxia popped the question . With an unusually rushed voice, he then asked, "Where is Qiao Qiao? Tell me, I want to see her . "
So he was looking for her because of Qiao Qiao . . . That's about right . She should have known . . . Lu Jinnian always had Qiao Anhao in his heart . In the past, he'd used to make the effort to talk to her only to find out more about Qiao Anhao .
If it weren't for Qiao Anhao, why would he have made an effort to come see her?
Qiao Anxia pushed down the precarious feeling in her heart . "Why are you looking for Qiao Qiao?"
