C10 Reject Me?

"Okay!"

It was already three in the afternoon. The afternoon sun was getting brighter, but the company's canteen had already closed. The two of them walked out. At such an awkward time, they could only find a cafe and order afternoon tea and desserts.

At noon, Mu Yao only ate a bag of hard bread. Mu Yao was really hungry. When the desserts came, she wolfed them down.

Liang Zhuoqian, who also "did not eat lunch," did not look very hungry. He had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his gaze was gentle as he watched Mu Yao's actions. He just drank tea slowly, and the snack that belonged to him had not been touched at all.

"Why didn't you eat lunch?" After swallowing a gap in the egg tart, Mu Yao asked indistinctly. "There should only be people from the legal worker department and the entrepreneurship department who are busy today, right?"

He was the Finance Director, so what was he busy with?

"I'm considered one of the higher ups. The higher ups are all busy." Liang Zhuoqian shrugged helplessly and gave a general answer. Seeing that she was eating happily with her head down, he gave her his plate of mousse cake.

"Thank you!" Mu Yao happily accepted.

Liang Zhuoqian did not take his hand back. His arm was on the table. He leaned forward with his elbow on the edge of the table. He asked casually, "I have a friend for dinner this weekend. Do you have time to come?"

"No!" Mu Yao, who was busy eating, rejected him without thinking. It was only after she blurted it out that she suddenly felt that it was too direct. "What I mean is that I have to follow up on the collaboration between SL Company and the company. I'm afraid I can't go..."

She smiled dryly and murmured an explanation. Her eyes met Liang Zhuoqian's and clearly captured the disappointment in his eyes. Hence, Mu Yao suggested that it was more like a snake drawing a snake.

"You can call other colleagues, like Weiwei . She should eat and play together. She should..."

"I don't want to invite colleagues." Liang Zhuoqian suddenly interrupted her, "I don't want to bring random female companions."

As soon as he said that, the two of them fell silent at the same time.

His gaze was deep, and there was seriousness in the depths of his eyes. He was a completely different person from his usual gentleness. His almost explicit words caught Mu Yao off guard. She was stunned on the spot until the spoon in her hand did not fall down and made a "Ping" sound against the plate. Only then did Mu Yao come back to her senses suddenly - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

She had never thought about it!

Boss had a good relationship with everyone in the department. She did not expect that he would actually...

"Uh, it's rare for me to get off work early, I have to go back!" Taking advantage of Liang Zhuoqian not saying anything else, Mu Yao pretended to be slow. In a panic, she took the bag and got up. "Boss, take your time to eat!"

"Mu Yao!"

But she had just taken a step when she was stopped by Liang Zhuoqian.

He sighed helplessly and leaned back on the back of the sofa. His handsome face was full of defeat. The corner of his mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile. He raised his head and did not even bother with the last hint. "You are really hard to pursue..."

"Boss, I..."

"You rejected me because you have someone you like?"
