Bo Yunshen's face turned an ashen blue as the agony along his spine intensified, almost consuming all his senses.
He took his seat behind his desk, his expression hidden in the dimness, with the indoor light casting his world into two separate realms.
Ten minutes later, a knock came at the CEO's office door.
Bo Yunshen pinched a cigarette between his fingers, the pale blue smoke rising in wisps from between them, blurring all expressions on his face.
Guessing it was Qin Yan, Bo Yunshen didn't speak up, showing no intention to invite her in.
But in less than thirty seconds, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Through the thick white smoke, Bo Yunshen watched Qin Yan's face emerge, shrouded with a touch of haziness.
She creased her brows, no windows open in the room, the heavy tobacco stench pressing against her nostrils, Qin Yan choked slightly and strode to the window, pulling it open.
