Chương 51: I’ll be going home
—-
As the sky starts to darken, the workers of Lu Corps rush to finish their work so they can go home on time.
On the 125th floor, Lu Tian leaned back on his chair and he glances at the wall clock; 6:37 pm.
He sighed and thought, 'I wonder what she's doing right now?'
His eyebrows crease into three lines, 'Should I just go see her when I return to Jade Condos? But wouldn't it be rude? Should I bring a gift? All women like gifts, right? Or was it flowers?'
He exhaled and pinch the space between his brows.
At times like this, he should have played close attention to his younger brother's ways of handling women. Maybe he can get a few tips from the expert.
Saying his younger brother was an expert, Lu Tian frown. No, Yue Ling isn't like all those other women his younger brother fooled around with. Neither was she like those women who try to get near him for his money and name.
Thinking about how Yue Ling was so different, a small smile appears on his lips.
To him, she was like a delicate jade that he wants to engrave in his heart.
Just when he wanted to continue his thoughts of the woman he didn't know he was falling for, the door to his office opened with a knock.
Lu Tian's eyes darken and he glares dangerously at the intruder.
Xu Long nonchalantly enters his boss' office and spoke without noticing the angry glare at him.
"Boss, it's near closing hours. Are you planning to stay here or go home?"
The corner of Lu Tian's twitch. Was it just him or did his assistant become bolder nowadays?
He retrieves his dangerous aura and looked to his computer, "Gather all the drafts I need to look over. I'll be going home."
"Alright. I'll go and get everything rea— Eh? Boss what did you say?!"
Xu Ling's jaw dropped, he could not believe his ears! His boss who always stays in the office like it was his house is actually going home?
Dear Lord, what was going on?
Lu Tian looked indifferently at his assistant, then back to the computer screen.
"Xu Long, did you go buy the mop?"
Confused at the sudden question, Xu Long scratch the side of his head, "Boss I haven't, but why do you need a mop?"
"So you can clean your drool."
"...."
Dumbfounded, Xu Long grinned sarcastically, "Heh heh, Boss, no need, no need. This subordinate will go get everything ready for you."
He didn't wait for his boss's approval and bolted out the door.
Xu Long sighed with slouching shoulders. He thought, sometimes he wonders how his boss has such a high IQ and EQ... he sighed again, 'Maybe I should really invest in a mop... hmm...'
Walking back to his office, he started gathering all the drafts that needed to be overlooked by his boss.

Once the time hit 7:00 pm, all the employees had just finished all their assignments. They sighed in relief and head for the first floor, eager to go him and relax.
Back in Lu Tian's office, he shut off his computer and cover his black tailored suit with his tan wool coat. He couldn't wait to get back to Jade Condos.
Stepping out of his office, he closed the door and locked it. Turning around he frowned and took a big step to the side.
"Ahhh!"
*thud*
A small figure falls directly onto the spot he was just standing.
Lu Tian glare coldly at the person.
Qian Li Li was flabbergasted. She had come running all the way to the 125th floor just to see the man she loves. Seeing him leave his office, her eyes lit up with happiness. Everyone at Lu Corps knows that the man hardly ever leaves his office to go home.
Picking up her pace, she came with the idea she used on the man in the elevator.
Pretending to fall, she could already picture Lu Tian's strong hands reaching out to grab her. No gentleman would watch a beauty like her fall, but.... who would have thought that instead of catching her, he moved to the side.
Luckily she didn't hit the door handle. Instead, her hands caught it for support.
Even so, she was still embarrassed to experience such a situation. Her face flushed red in embarrassment and anger.
Clenching the door handle tightly, she forces a seductive smile and pout her lips like an innocent child. She glances at the handsomely aloof man,
"Oww, CEO Lu, why didn't you catch me?"
"...."
The corner of Lu Tian's mouth twitched. He has no idea who this woman is, and he hated women, except for his Yue Ling.
Was it mandatory that he had to catch her? Of course not! She fell on her own!
"Boss!! Are you alright?!" Xu Long quickly ran out of his office panting, "I heard an earthquake! It was an earthquake right?!"
Qian Li Li presses her lips tightly together and glare at Xu Long as she forces herself to stand up, 'This stupid assistant! How dare he call me an earthquake!'
Before Qian Li Li could fully stand up, Lu Tian deep and cold voice sounded.
"Xu Long, have the door and handle change."
He didn't care about the woman, he finished his order and stride towards the elevator. He didn't have time, he wants to get back to Jade Condo so he can see his woman. Even a glimpse was enough to satisfy him.
"..."
Qian Li Li staggered and fell back to the floor.
Sitting on the floor, she wished she had a shovel to dig a hole and hide in it forever. Lu Tian had ordered to have his office door and handle change, was it because she touched it?
Was he really not interested in her at all? No, that wasn't possible. Any man she wants, she can have!
Looking at the woman sitting on the floor embarrassed, Xu Long sneered.
"Miss Qian, I suggest you understand your boundaries."
"...."
Xu Long runs into his office and grabs a briefcase, then he steps out and closed the door. Seeing that Qian Li Li was still sitting on the floor, he pursed his lips, "As your coworker, I also suggest you keep your 'private matters' at home."
He purposely emphasized the words 'private matters' at Qian Li Li. Not waiting for her response or bother to help her, he turned around and runs to catch up with his boss.
Qian Li Li was frozen in place. Her heart thumping hard at Xu Long's words. Suddenly, her eyes shot open when she finally understood what the man's words meant. Her lips quiver and she thought, 'H-How? I made sure no one was on the floor...'
Struck with sudden fear, she bit her lower lip.
'If Xu Long knows what she had done, then does that mean Lu Tian also knows?'
Shaking the thought away, she thought again, but this time whispering to herself, "No... no, I made sure no one was around. I'm sure of it..."
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she stood up from the floor and stagger her way to the elevator.
