Chapter 517: Sorry About Before

Throughout the afternoon, several more interviews were conducted sequentially until I finally got a break at 3:30. Right when I returned to my office without sparing time to sip water, my continuously silent phone on the desk suddenly rang. To my surprise, it was Ji Qingluan who I hadn't contacted for a long while. Hesitating for a moment, I pressed the answer button:

"Qingluan."

"Do you have time? I'm at the entrance of your studio, inviting you for an afternoon tea."

I fell silent for seconds:

"Okay."

I knew exactly why Ji Qingluan came looking for me, and strictly speaking, she and I were never friends. Descriptors like 'love rivals' and 'business partners' would more aptly suit us. Yet, there were certain words that needed to be said, and I knew I couldn't avoid them.
