He lowered his eyes and quietly began to fasten the buttons on his shirt. However, he found that his heart was beating faster for some reason, and his blood rushed to his head.
Even his index finger was a bit out of his control.
Just then, he suddenly heard Lu Xue clear her throat and speak.
"Boss, you've buttoned the third one wrong. The left and right sides aren't symmetrical."
Mu Yuze's body stiffened. His finger on the button remained motionless for a long time, and the air fell silent. An awkward atmosphere filled the changing room.
Lu Xue herself thought that saying this was a bit redundant. Moreover, she had exposed the fact that she could see Mu Yuze changing even though her back was turned to him.
She scratched her head, then sighed. With her back still to Mu Yuze, she carefully pointed at a full - length mirror in front of her with one finger. Resigned, she said to Mu Yuze,
"Boss, there's a mirror in front of me. I can see even if I don't want to..."
Mu Yuze pursed his lips and fell silent.
Thus, the awkward atmosphere in the air became even thicker. Both of them felt their ears turn slightly red.
Finally, Lu Xue slapped her forehead and suddenly remembered something very important.
She had hidden in here to avoid Yan Hua!
Now that Yan Hua had left, what was she still doing here? Wasn't it just redundant!
After realizing this, she quickly pulled open the door of the changing room and slipped out.
She even kindly closed the door again and reminded from outside,
"Boss, remember to fasten the third button correctly!"
Mu Yuze inside didn't react at all or respond to her words.
Lu Xue had no idea what expression Mu Yuze had. She wondered if he was already angry with her...
In the afternoon, Lu Xue accompanied Mu Yuze to a meeting. Throughout the meeting, Mu Yuze behaved normally.
He sat at the head of the round - table, flipping through documents, listening to the reports from his subordinates. From time to time, he twirled the pen in his hand, deep in thought.
He had returned to his usual aloof self at work, as if the little episode in the changing room had already passed.
Only then did Lu Xue breathe a sigh of relief. Since Mu Yuze wasn't angry, things would be okay.
When the meeting ended, Mu Yuze received a call from Mu Ziyue.
As soon as the call connected, Mu Ziyue immediately pleaded with her brother, "I've got something here that I need your help with. You must help me!"
Mu Yuze asked indifferently, "What is it?"
Mu Ziyue said, "A friend of mine recently opened a fashion studio. We want to invite a well - known actress in the circle to cut the ribbon for him. It would be a great publicity for the brand if word gets out!"
"However, the celebrities I know are all second - or third - rate stars. They don't carry enough weight. Can you help me contact an intermediary to invite a more high - profile actress?"
Just as Mu Yuze was about to refuse, Mu Ziyue seemed to anticipate what her brother would say and quickly interjected,
"I know you're not interested in the fashion circle, but you know so many people. You can easily ask someone for a favor and get it done. Please help me, okay? I don't need someone too high - profile. Just help me invite the Academy - Award winning actress Pan Yurou. This request shouldn't be too excessive, right?"
Yan Hua, who had just walked into the office to organize the meeting materials, almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Was the Academy - Award winning actress Pan Yurou someone that could be easily invited?
She was probably the most influential and popular actress in the circle at present!
The young miss Mu Ziyue dared to ask for such a big - name figure. She really had big ideas.
Mu Yuze simply replied with two words: "No way."
Then, he hung up the phone.
After being hung up on, Mu Ziyue was probably angry and called several more times. Mu Yuze refused to answer them all.
On the last call, his tone was impatient as he quietly scolded,
"Focus on your studies. I heard from your university teacher that you're going to fail two courses."
Only then did Mu Ziyue finally fall silent, like someone whose weak point had been hit, and quietly backed off.
Lu Xue felt a bit sorry for Mu Ziyue. It must be quite aggrieving to have such an inflexible and unfeeling brother.
Lu Xue was thinking about whether she should remind Mu Yuze from time to time to take care of his sister's feelings.
But when she looked up and saw Yan Hua smiling brightly at her, as if he was about to start another amazing speech.
An alarm bell went off in Lu Xue's mind. She quickly slipped out of the meeting room before Yan Hua could speak and then ran desperately along the corridor.
When Mu Ziyue returned to the Mu Mansion, she was very tired. She casually threw her bag on the sofa and was about to go upstairs to take a shower and rest.
However, the bag landed in the wrong place and hit Ding Muyun.
