"Miss Sisi, here are the documents you asked for."
"Thank you, Xiaotao. You've been a great help."
"No problem. It's my job. Is this the writer?"
Xiaotao asked Gu Sisi. "Yes," Gu Sisi didn't want to explain further. She really didn't know how to explain the relationship between Gu Chenfei and herself.
Xiaotao felt the intimidating gaze from across and her scalp went numb. She really wanted to leave this trouble zone quickly. If she stayed any longer, Xiaotao was afraid she might lose her life.
"Aren't you going to introduce us, Miss Gu?"
Gu Chenfei said with a smile. But to Xiaotao, it always seemed like a death smile. It was a smile without any warmth, full of threats, which made people shiver involuntarily.
"Introduction is not necessary. Why are you so inquisitive, Miss Gu?" Gu Sisi retorted. Don't think that just because Gu Chenfei agreed to cooperate with them, the matter between her and Huo Cheng could be written off. Business was business, and personal matters were personal. The business had already been discussed.
As for personal matters, Gu Sisi thought there was no need. For example, introducing Xiaotao to her was a personal matter, so it was unnecessary.
"Oh, really? The contract hasn't been signed yet. Do you want to renege on your promise, Miss Gu? Don't forget, nothing is finalized until the contract is signed." Gu Chenfei narrowed her eyes slightly. She just wanted to hear how Gu Sisi would introduce Xiaotao.
As she spoke, she gave Xiaotao a menacing look. This little girl was starting to cause trouble and scheme against her.
Xiaotao shivered all over. Being glared at, she felt like crying. She wanted to run even more.
"You..." Gu Sisi wondered why this woman, who seemed so elegant and dignified, was so hard to deal with. Shouldn't she be a proper lady? Why did she seem like a hooligan?
She even thought this person was reliable, at least in terms of work, just a moment ago. Now she felt that this person was just so - so, just like her character.
"Fine. You want an introduction, right? Okay, I'll do it. This is Xiaotao, the assistant to my company's manager. Her name is Yang Tao. The introduction is over. Do you have any other questions, Miss Gu?" Gu Sisi showed a standard fake smile as she faced the woman in front of her.
"Yang Tao? Interesting. It's really nice that you have such a capable assistant by your side, Miss Gu." While saying this, Gu Chenfei signed her name on the contract and pushed it towards Gu Sisi.
Gu Sisi put away the contract. "If there are any problems in the future, please contact us in time, Miss Gu. Thank you, Miss Gu. Have a pleasant cooperation." After saying these formulaic words, Gu Sisi was about to leave. This time, Gu Chenfei didn't stop her. She had other things to do.
"You look so kind, Miss Xiaotao. Are you interested in staying for a cup of coffee?" Just as Xiaotao was about to leave with Gu Sisi, Gu Chenfei suddenly spoke.
Xiaotao turned around as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes were full of reluctance. She looked at Gu Sisi for help. Gu Sisi sighed slightly and looked at Gu Chenfei.
"Are you so free today, Miss Gu? It's not enough to invite me for coffee. You also want to invite my colleague. It seems you have a lot of time on your hands."
"I don't need you to worry about whether I have time or not. And you can't control your colleague either, Miss Gu. Whether to have coffee with me depends on your colleague's will, not yours."
After saying this, Gu Chenfei continued to stare at Xiaotao threateningly with her eyes, as if saying: If you dare to refuse, you're done for.
Under Gu Chenfei's intense gaze, Xiaotao really couldn't stand it. She just wanted to know why this woman was treating her like this. She was just a kid! Xiaotao wiped away her tears silently in her heart.
"Do you want to, Xiaotao? Have a cup of coffee with Miss Gu."
Xiaotao's inner voice at this moment: No, no, no! But under Gu Chenfei's stare, Xiaotao couldn't even utter a single word of refusal. She could only nod reluctantly.
Finally, she felt the sense of oppression fade a little. But the real crisis was just beginning. The moment Xiaotao nodded, it meant she had to face this female devil, Gu Chenfei, alone.
This was torture! Xiaotao really didn't want to face Gu Chenfei alone now. If Gu Chenfei found out that it was she who had schemed to make her meet Gu Sisi, she would surely not let her go.
Thinking about her future, Xiaotao shivered involuntarily. Looking back at Gu Chenfei, she still had that smiling face. A smiling face on the surface, but the invisible killing was even more terrifying.
Xiaotao suddenly didn't want Gu Sisi to leave at all. She kept praying in her heart, "Don't go, don't go, don't leave me alone." Unfortunately, Gu Sisi couldn't hear Xiaotao's voice.
When she saw Xiaotao nodding, Gu Sisi was a bit hesitant. She always felt that Xiaotao was being forced, but she still thought she should respect Xiaotao's decision.
If Xiaotao knew what Gu Sisi was thinking now, she would surely shake her head like a rattle and say it's okay, no need to respect my decision. Just take me away.
"Well, since Xiaotao wants to have coffee with Miss Gu, I'll leave first."
As she said this, Gu Sisi was about to leave. Xiaotao instinctively grabbed Gu Sisi's hand. It was obvious that she really didn't want Gu Sisi to go.
Xiaotao's eyes were full of plea and helplessness. Gu Sisi was suddenly confused. Wasn't it Xiaotao who wanted to have coffee with Gu Chenfei? Why did she look so reluctant?
She didn't know what had come over her. Seeing Gu Sisi about to leave, Xiaotao couldn't help but grab her hand. Maybe it was because of her strong desire in her heart that she took action.
"What's wrong, Xiaotao?" Gu Sisi asked.
"Um... nothing... nothing. Miss Sisi, you can go first," Xiaotao murmured. But Gu Sisi could tell that something was wrong.
"Since we're having coffee, you won't mind if there's one more person, right? I suddenly think it's nice to have coffee with three people. What do you think?" Gu Sisi sat down. Although she didn't know what was wrong with Xiaotao, there was only one thought in her mind:
She couldn't let Xiaotao stay here alone!
Gu Chenfei raised her eyebrows. Obviously, this move surprised her. When did Gu Sisi and Xiaotao become so close? She was so protective of her that she wouldn't even allow them to meet alone. Was she afraid that she would eat Xiaotao?
Although... it wasn't impossible. Gu Chenfei looked at Xiaotao again and smiled. However, to Xiaotao, this smile was like a death warrant. Everyone who knew Gu Chenfei knew that once she showed such a smile.
Then that person would surely be in big trouble.
"Sure, then let's have three people. I'm sure Xiaotao won't mind, right?" Gu Chenfei's sudden compromise really surprised Xiaotao. But this result was the best for now.
"I don't mind, I don't mind. How could I mind?" Xiaotao thought to herself happily. With Gu Sisi here, she felt much braver.
