It was almost noon when Gu Shaoting looked at the time. Shu Pan was about to go for her lunch break. Just as he was calling her, his phone suddenly rang.
âBrother Gu, are you busy?â The callerâs voice was sweet and familiar, but Gu Shaoting couldnât remember where he had heard it before.
âUm⦠You areâ¦â Gu Shaoting tried to remember who the caller was but failed.
âItâs Charlene. Has Brother Gu forgotten about me?â The caller said, sounding very disappointed.
âOh, itâs Miss Charlene. Iâm so sorry. I just finished some work and am still a little concussed.â Gu Shaoting finally remembered that she was Mr. Johnâs daughter who was heading his way for an internship.
âBrother Gu, Iâm booked on a flight to your place the day after tomorrow.â Charlene informed him.
Gu Shaoting sighed in his heart. He was in a difficult position because Mr. John was an important business partner and he couldnât get out of doing him this favor.
âOkay, send me your flight information. Iâll send someone to pick you up.â Gu Shaoting said.
Charlene felt a little disappointed. Her Brother Gu was sending someone to pick her up instead of picking her up himself. But on second thought, it was understandable. After all, he was the CEO of a big company; he probably didnât have the time.
But it was okay. She had plenty of time. When she arrived at his office and interacted with him every day, should she worry that he wouldnât develop feelings for her?
At the thought of this, Charlene felt much better.
âAlright, Iâll have to trouble Brother Gu then.â Charlene hung up happily and immediately sent him her flight information.
She wished that time would pass more quickly so she could see her Brother Gu earlier.
She didnât have any man as outstanding as Brother Gu around her. This was also the first time she was so interested in a man. He was someone who made her heart flutter.
She felt that he was the person she had been waiting for and that he was the right man for her.
She had waited for so long for him to appear. She must work hard and not miss out on him.
She had a chance as long as he wasnât married. Even if he was, he could still get a divorce, right?
She was the master of her own destiny. Charlene secretly cheered herself on.
She was born into a good family and was outstanding herself. Her life had been smooth sailing without any setback. She considered winning over Gu Shaoting a challenge.
She had set herself the goal of success only. Failure wasnât an option and the word âfailureâ had never been part of her vocabulary thus far.
Shortly after Gu Shaoting hung up the phone, he got a text message. He opened it and saw Charleneâs flight information.
He read the message, called his secretary into his office, and forwarded the message to him.
âMr. Zhang, the message Iâve just forwarded to you⦠Check the flight arrival time and pick her up from the airport with the driver. Iâll also send you her phone number.â Gu Shaoting felt that he couldnât afford to neglect Charlene. If anything happened to her, he wouldnât be able to explain himself to Mr. John. âOkay and she is?â Mr. Zhang clicked on the message and knew that it was a woman when he saw the name. He could not help but frown.
He didnât think that this woman was in some kind of secret relationship with Gu Shaoting. After all, he had worked for Gu Shaoting for so long and knew that he wasnât a playboy.
Moreover, he had just proposed to his ex-wife. They were still in the honeymoon stage of their relationship and he wouldnât do such b*stardly things.
âSheâs the daughter of our French partner , Mr. John. She wanted to do an internship here. Let her learn from you when sheâs here. Donât give her access to any important documents though. Some things are proprietary information after all.â After Gu Shaoting finished, he got ready to meet Shu Pan for lunch.
âI understand, CEO Gu. Iâll definitely do the job well.â Mr. Zhang promised.
âGood. I knew that you will because if you donât, we still need people to develop our business in Africa.â Gu Shaoting patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
Mr. Zhangâs face darkened. This was another thankless assignment, sobâ¦.
