Chapter 640: Why Did He Choose Her? (2)

Xu Weilau couldn’t help but wonder why her boss would choose her to be his secretary if he was driven by ulterior motives. “Is it because I was Gu Yu’s ex-wife or did he think that Gu Yu would have some reservations about things that concern me?” she mused.

“Gu Yu had asked him to take care of me previously. He couldn’t possibly think that I hold a special place in Gu Yu’s heart just because of this?” Xu Weilai thought.

Xu Weilai had many queries which she could not figure out no matter hard she thought.

At the moment, it seemed like she could only bid her time and take things one step at a time.

Subsequently, another colleague entered the pantry and after Xu Weilai enquired about how to operate the coffee machine, made a cup of coffee and carried it back to the Vice President’s office.

Zuo An had just ended a phone call when she knocked on the door and entered the room, and he quickly turned to look at her.

Xu Weilai walked up to him and handed him the coffee as she said, “There’s a saying that making coffee is the number one skill that a secretary should have, so I tried to make a cup for you. Give it a try and see if it suits your taste.”

“Thank you.”

Zuo An flashed her a faint smile, accepted the drink and held the cup up to his lips. After taking a sip, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “You added milk?”

“Yes…” Xu Weilai replied as she scratched her head and grinned. “I’m sorry. I’m used to adding some milk to my coffee. I could make you a new cup of coffee if you’re not used to it.”

However, Zuo An shook his head and declined, “For now, I’ll pass. Get Ready. We’re going out to meet a client now.”

“Sure,” Xu Weilai acknowledged before she then asked, “Boss, what kind of coffee do you prefer? I’ll prepare it according to your taste in the future.”

Zuo An placed the cup of coffee on the table and replied, “Americano will do.”

Xu Weilai nodded and asked, “Alright, noted. Are we leaving now? I’ll inform Qiao Chu to drive the car over.”

“Okay.”

Zuo An and Xu Weilai headed over to the elevator ten minutes later and Xu Weilai stepped forward to press the elevator button. The elevator had yet to reach their floor and during the wait, Zuo An suddenly glanced over at Xu Weilai who was standing behind him.

As her head was slightly lowered, strands of hair had fallen loose on the side of her face and were shielding her eyes slightly. From the corner of his eye, Zuo An also noticed Gu Yu walking over from the other end of the corridor. Suddenly, without warning, he turned to face Xu Weilai and reached over to tuck her hair behind her ear with his fingers.

Xu Weilai had no time to react to the abrupt situation and was stunned for quite some time before she instinctively staggered backwards. When she heard the sound of footfall approaching them, she subconsciously glanced over and instantly froze.

Instead of backing away, she decided not to avoid Zuo An and even smiled coyly as she replied in a gentle and sweet voice, “Thank you.”

Zuo An never expected her to react like this and was taken aback for a fleeting moment.

He then flashed her a gentle smile and withdrew his hand.

Gu Yu and Zuo Si approached them from the other end of the corridor and came to a stop beside them.

Zuo An nodded at Gu Yu politely and greeted, “CEO Gu.”

However, Gu Yu maintained his usual poker face as if he did not hear Zuo An’s greeting and neither did he spare a glance in Zuo An’s direction. His thin lips were tightly pursed but his expression was unreadable.

Xu Weilai couldn’t tell if she was simply imagining things, but she had a strange feeling that Gu Yu was actually slightly angry.

Zuo Si still looked at Zuo An with arrogance and contempt and when the elevator arrived, while she obviously arrived after Zuo An, declared in a self-justified manner, “Zuo An, take the next elevator. I don’t want to be in the same one as you, for I might puke myself to death.”
