He Qiao carefully observed Chu Yao's expression. Seeing Chu Yao's somewhat resigned look, she quickly spoke up, "Sister Yaoyao, President Cheng is just trying to help you. Really."
In He Qiao's eyes, Cheng Yu was the very picture of a powerful, lovesick boss who just couldn't get the girl. She had become certain after that night that her boss wanted more than just to get Chu Yao into bed—otherwise, why would he have passed up such a perfect opportunity?
This was also why He Qiao felt so frustrated on Cheng Yu's behalf.
But when Chu Yao heard this, she instantly knew her young assistant had gotten the wrong idea.
'Cheng Yu is only helping me as a favor to someone else,' she thought. 'He and I are practically strangers.'
Seeing He Qiao's sincere expression, Chu Yao couldn't help but smile. She was just about to explain when someone suddenly entered. "Miss Chu, are you ready? Director Gu is asking for you."
"Yes, yes, I'll be right there."
Chu Yao quickly replied.
