Something was Amiss.
A/N: of course it was, can't you see how much he was shaking like a leaf?
The other directors were stunned as they turned their eyes to the director of finance and then to the beautifully dressed woman seated beside me.
Why did I suddenly have a bad feeling about it?
My heart felt uneasy.
I maintained my serene smile, letting the silence hang for three long beats before I addressed him, my voice cutting through the tension.
"Director Feng," I commanded, using his name to snap him back to reality, he flinched. "I require an explanation for your outburst, is something wrong with her?"
I corked an eyebrow. But even without asking, I knew there was something very wrong with the way he reacted.
Did he do anything to Qiao Mei before?
He visibly sweated, cornered and scrambling for a lie. "Mrs. Mo, I—I apologize. I was just shocked to see Ms. Qiao Mei after such a long time. She—she used to be someone I truly admired."
All lies.
