Capítulo 434: The trip

"Well then forget about it. Send out a public announcement: the office of Edward Wu will be closed for access from now till next week."

Holly did a double take. Her frown deepened as she asked, "What? Why?"

"The boss and his secretary are leaving for Shanghai first thing tomorrow morning." He put the last pen in his briefcase and clicked the locks closed. "But of course that last part isn't for public ears."

"Shanghai?" Was all Holly could manage. The boss was saying so many things and she was finding it hard to believe any of them. 

"What's happening in Shanghai?" she finally asked after a beat or two had passed. 

"I have been invited for a party by an old friend and you are escorting me, along with Viktor of course." He added the last part for good measure.

A lot of employees had been known to bulk whenever a trip with the boss was mentioned; Edward didn't want Holly —or any of his other employees for that matter— getting any ideas.
