Gu Shaoting sensed Shu Pan’s reluctance to come over for lunch and didn’t force the matter.

He looked at the time. It was almost lunchtime. He walked straight to the secretary pool area.

“Charlene, it’s almost lunchtime, let’s go,” Gu Shaoting said.

“Okay.” Charlene’s sweet voice rang out. When she saw Gu Shaoting, she immediately grabbed her bag and excitedly walked out with him.

“Where’s Mr. Zhang?” Gu Shaoting suddenly remembered not seeing Mr. Zhang in the secretary pool area just now.

“He’s very busy today. I haven’t seen him since he brought me in this morning.” Charlene replied. 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝖊𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

Actually, Charlene told Mr. Zhang that Mr. Gu wanted him to get some information from the sales department when she came out of Gu Shaoting’s office.

Mr. Zhang believed her since he saw her walk out of the CEO’s office until he went to the sales department and was told that there was no such request, and he was mistaken.

The back and forth had wasted a lot of time, so naturally, he missed the lunch appointment between Gu Shaoting and Charlene.

Since Mr. Zhang was busy, Gu Shaoting didn’t insist on waiting for him.

Gu Shaoting and Charlene stepped out of the elevator together into the lunch crowd. The office lobby was extremely busy. The people who saw them together couldn’t help but wonder if they were lovers.

As Shu Pan kept a low profile and rarely came to Gu Group, many people didn’t know that Gu Shaoting actually had a girlfriend.

When they saw Joy last time, they assumed that she was Gu Shaoting’s illegitimate daughter.

Charlene was secretly delighted as she looked at Gu Shaoting beside her. She wanted everyone to misunderstand that they were romantically involved.

She felt even more smug when she saw everyone’s inquisitive gazes. She believed that news about them being a couple would spread very quickly.

Who in the country didn’t know of Gu Shaoting? The current CEO of Gu Group was successful and recognized by all as a dazzling star in the business world.

His business persona aside, he was also a man worthy of women falling head over heels over him. Although there were very few photos of him in the public arena, the few out there were worthy of shrieks from any woman.

Charlene saw a photo of him that really affected her. In that photo, Gu Shaoting was sharp-eyed, tall, and handsome in a black tailored suit as he walked out of an airport via the VIP exit, surrounded by a group of bodyguards. She fell for him the moment she saw that photo.

She knew that she had fallen for him even more now.

It was a feeling she never had.

They walked out of the office lobby under everyone’s watchful eyes and speculations.

All Gu Shaoting had on his mind was Shu Pan. He didn’t take the young girl’s flirtatious thoughts to heart and just treated her as a friend’s daughter.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Charlene requested a small private room on the grounds that the main dining area was too noisy.

Seeing that there were only two of them in the private room, Charlene felt like they were on a date, and her heart pounded nervously.

“What would you like to have?” Gu Shaoting asked in his deep and magnetic voice as he handed her the menu.

Charlene took the menu shyly and pretended to peruse through it to hide her nervousness.

They finally put in their order. While waiting for lunch to be served, Charlene asked, “Brother Gu, it must be hard for you to manage such a large corporation.”

“It’s not that bad.” Gu Shaoting took a sip of tea.

“That’s not true. Look at how my father is losing hair managing a big company. He’s almost bald.” Charlene sighed.

Fortunately, Brother Gu was not like her father.

“Brother Gu, when is it convenient for you? I would like to visit Auntie.” Charlene found out today that her mother had visited Gu Shaoting’s mother before.

She didn’t want to waste the mom card and would like to get on his mother’s good side as soon as possible.
