An Lan hadn't heard it, but after she turned and left, An Xuan murmured to himself, "I wanted her to stay."

Returning to Huo An Group, An Lan had just settled into her seat when Little Xu brought her the organized project documents. An Lan glanced at them nonchalantly and asked Little Xu to set them aside. The projects that Little Xu could access were basically useless, and she couldn't even be bothered to look at them.
Thinking that she still had to pay her a month's salary, An Lan somewhat regretted her decision to watch the drama unfold. With this thought, her gaze towards Little Xu carried a hint of resentment, causing the already nervous Little Xu to tremble in fear.
