"Miss, you’re finally back."
As soon as the car stopped, Jiujiu hurriedly ca out to greet her, followed closely by Yanyan and Qiuqiu, with Qinqin tagging along at the back with a pleasing smile.
Luo Lian frowned, "What’s the problem?"
Yanyan quickly explained, "There’s no problem. The other party is in a rush to sign the contract, saying that if they don’t get a definite response from us by 11:00, they’ll give it to JM Impressions. It’s already 10:46 now."
"It’s the first ti in my life I’ve encountered a client in such a rush to sign a contract." Luo Lian muttered under her breath and then looked at Luo Ye, "Luoluo, go out and have fun with Ye Xuan. You’ve been apart for so long, always hanging around with . Boss Ye must be badmouthing in his heart."
Ye Xuan waved his hand, "I won’t. As long as Ye’er is happy, I’m okay with anything."
Luo Lian smirked, "Boss Ye, if Luoluo focuses on spending ti with now and leaves you aside, you’re really not mad?"
"Today is such a nice day, with birds singing and flowers blooming in your yard. It’s prettier than anywhere else. We’ll sit outside for a while and wait for you to have lunch together, then we’ll go for lamb spine stew, how about that?" Luo Ye said as she pushed Luo Lian inward, "Hurry up and work, don’t delay my lunch."
Luo Lian glanced back at her, pouting, "Feeling sorry already?"
"Fine, I’ll help you with your work and see if he gets upset waiting outside, how about that?"
"Get out of here, am I that clueless?" Luo Lian gave Luo Ye a push back, "I’ll co out to find you guys once I’m done." She then turned to Qinqin, "Get my new Brazilian beans to make coffee for Luoluo and Ye Xuan. Rember, add milk but no sugar."
"Yes, miss!" Qinqin responded cheerfully and swiftly walked toward the coffee room.
Once Qinqin disappeared from sight, Ye Xuan whispered in Luo Ye’s ear, "Remind Luo Lian, it’s best to fire this girl."
"Lianlian knows." Luo Ye sighed lightly, "If we remove this informant, Monique would just plant another one. Essentially, it would make the situation more passive."
Ye Xuan was silent for a mont then looked at Luo Ye, "Are you sure she’s Monique’s informant?"
"Do you an she doesn’t seem like it?"
"It’s hard to say." Ye Xuan thought for a mont and continued, "Regardless of what Monique is like, he truly cares about Lianlian. Even if he placed an informant, it would be to know Lianlian’s every move. The purpose is to not lose her, not to guard against her, right?
But this Qinqin, on the surface, she’s very respectful to Luo Lian, yet there’s sothing off about her. If Monique arranged her, there’s only one possibility; she likes Monique or she deceived Monique."
Luo Ye nodded in agreent, "You have a point. I’ll talk to Lianlian about it later." As she saw Qinqin coming over with the coffee, she smiled and said, "Pretty fast, thank you."
"Miss Luo, you’re too kind. This coffee was already brewing before Miss returned. She likes to drink coffee while working, so after Jiujiu finished the call, I prepared it in advance." As Qinqin spoke, she placed the coffee in front of them.
"You’re quite ticulous." Luo Ye took a small sip and complinted, "Rich and smooth, strong but not greasy, it’s really well-made."
"Thank you, Miss Luo, for the complint." Qinqin politely took a step back, "If you and Mr. Ye have no other instructions, I’ll head down."
Luo Ye nodded, "Okay, if sothing cos up, I’ll ring the bell."
Once Qinqin went inside, Luo Ye’s lips curled up, "Later, there might be sothing interesting to watch."
"Oh?" Ye Xuan rubbed her head, "Tell more."
"Every ti I ca here before, Qinqin was extrely ingratiating. Don’t you think her attitude today is a bit strange?" Luo Ye paused and continued, "Her behavior indicates so changes are underway or boldly speculating that her backer is coming."
Ye Xuan wrapped an arm around Luo Ye, pulling her closer, "Then let’s wait and see if my darling Ye’er guessed right."
Luo Ye rolled her eyes at him, "Who’s your darling, you’re annoying?"
"If not mine, then whose, huh?" Ye Xuan pinched her nose, "Confess quickly."
"I’m not telling you." Luo Ye giggled, glancing around. A row of hibiscus swayed in the wind in the distance, while nearby, various flowers vied for attention. The air was filled with a sweet, fresh fragrance, prompting a contented sigh, "I rember when we first moved here, it was barren, nothing at all. Lianlian really has an eye for this."
"Ye’er, I’m sorry." Ye Xuan rubbed his chin against Luo Ye’s forehead, "Being with , making you suffer."
Luo Ye laughed and gave him a little poke, "Why say that? I knew your profession when I t you, what’s there to suffer about? Besides, my job will be the sa in the future, so should I say being with makes you suffer too?"
