Qiao Xiang turned her head and glanced at Si Ran, only to realize that Pei Liyan's coffee was also provided by a dedicated secretary.
The Secretary Si was cold all day yesterday, and she appeared the same today.
Si Ran held the coffee cup and met Qiao Xiang's inquisitive gaze with an expressionless face.
Then, she placed the coffee on Pei Liyan's desk, saying, "President Pei, do you have any further instructions?"
Pei Liyan spoke in a deep voice, "Si Ran, tell Qiao Xiang her responsibilities."
"Yes!" Si Ran responded indifferently yet respectfully, nodding her head and looking at Qiao Xiang. "Secretary Qiao, we can go out now."
Qiao Xiang was startled, her face flushing, and she quickly followed Si Ran out the door, casting one last look full of longing at Pei Liyan as she left.
But the man didn't glance at her.
Qiao Xiang felt a sense of loss.
