the room instantly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"president, president! may i ask if you're inside?"
it was the voice of a male assistant in the secretariat.
bai shixun's movements suddenly stopped, and his brows subconsciously furrowed. however, he did not loosen his grip on fang ziqian, nor did he immediately make a sound.
"oh ... i ...!"
fang ziqian, on the other hand, was excited, as if she had found help. she immediately cried out for help.
however, she only managed to utter a single syllable before her mouth was covered by bai shixun's big hand. she could not make any sound.
the assistant knocked on the door a few more times, but didn't get a response, so he stopped.
just when the two people in the office thought that the person outside the door had left, suddenly, there were three more knocks on the door, followed by a gentle female voice.
"shixun, shixun, are you there?"
