After Bai Yixuan left, Ling Chuxia felt exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep. She didn't know how long she had slept when the ringing of her cellphone began to pierce her ears. She became increasingly aware, her hand instinctively reaching for the phone, and when she saw the flashing number on the screen, her heart gave a violent jump.
Unbidden images from before surfaced in her mind; her hand holding the phone clenched tightly, her fingers inch by inch moved towards the decline button. However, when it came time to press it, her fingers started to tremble.
She knew, no matter the reason for Shi Che's call, she shouldn't answer his phone again; she should draw a clear line between them from now on.
But… what about the cooperation case? She had intended to salvage the cooperation case today, but instead…
Although Shi Che was indeed in the wrong, she had also lost her cool. Slapping Shi Che had only exacerbated the situation.
