They noticed the existence of each other at once.

Xu Weilai was Zuo An’s secretary. It was normal for her to be in the same car with Zuo An. However, without Qiao Chu around at such early hour, it would be easy to lead others on to think that there was something between Zuo An and Xu Weilai.

The rumours about them were in full swing around the company these days. Had their relationship reached the point where they would come to work together so early in the morning?

Assistant Lin gasped at the thought of this.

If Miss Xu had really got together with Zuo An, what about CEO Gu?

His eyes subconsciously went towards Gu Yu. His handsome face was expressionless, as always. But he noticed the turbulence in his eyes even though they appeared calm.

He knew that Miss Xu still held a special place in CEO Gu’s heart. Would he take any action? Would he rush forward, grabbed Zuo An by his collar and punched him, and warned him to stay away from Miss Xu?

Assistant Lin was still anticipating Gu Yu’s action when he realised that Gu Yu was already striding towards the elevator entrance instead.

Startled by his choice of action, Assistant Lin nodded towards Xu Weilai as acknowledgement and immediately went after Gu Yu.

Zuo An stepped in front of Xu Weilai. He mentioned nothing about Gu Yu, as if he did not notice Gu Yu and Assistant Lin in the parking space. He only gave her a smile, “Let’s go.”

Xu Weilai returned his thoughtfulness with a smile, “Okay.”

Xu Weilai almost had all her work done when the clock struck five in the afternoon. The last task for the day was to collect the luxurious bespoke suit Zuo An ordered from the high-end shopping mall. The staff called earlier, informing her that the bespoke suit was ready for collection.

Xu Weilai called the internal line of Zuo An office to inform him she would leave for the day to collect the suit and would not be returning to office after. Thus, she would punch her card earlier on that day.

She hung up after he granted her approval to leave early.

When she was about to leave with her bag after she tidied her working desk, the office door swung open unexpectedly. Zuo An walked through the door towards her. He said, “Let’s go. I’ll send you there.”

She was speechless for a moment before she found her voice, “Big Boss, I can go on my own. There’s no need to trouble you…”

Zuo An interrupted her. “I’m the one who wants to skip work.”

Xu Weilai knew there was nothing she could do to stop him, so she simply kept her mouth shut.

Anyway, based on Zuo An’s performance in the past week, he seemed to be a straightforward person. He was clear-cut, considerate, and attentive. To cut it short, he seemed to always make use of every loophole he could find.

Frankly, it would be near impossible for her to resist his seduction and temptation if her heart was still warm and beating.

Zuo An drove her to the shopping mall.

They took the escalator to the bespoke shop on the fifth floor of the mall. When they passed by a high-end retail luxury brand on the third floor, Xu Weilai inadvertently glimpsed on two figures in the shop familiar to her eyes.

Zuo Si and Gu Yu stood facing each other in the shop. A salesperson stood by them with a tray of ties as Zuo Si held a tie to Gu Yu’s neck. Then she picked another and compared it against the one on his lapels, and kept comparing as if trying to pick one that would look better on him.

Xu Weilai attention fell on them. Her footsteps paused slightly.

Zuo Si sight turned towards Xu Weilai, as if she sensed her gaze. When she caught sight of Xu Weilai, her eyebrows went up slightly. Her mouth moved, as if she was talking to Gu Yu. Immediately, Gu Yu turned in their directions.

When their eyes met, Xu Weilai felt her hand being held.
