After (15)

It was one o'clock when Xu Jiamu arrived at The Capital Club, two hours before their meeting time.

He sent the waiter away and sat alone in the quiet room. He brought the contract out and stared at the writing.

In truth, he didn't pay attention to a word of the terms, but flipped through the pages like a robot. After he went through over a hundred pages, the sound of high heels came from outside the room. With that, the door opened and the waiter's polite and gentle voice was heard. "Please come in."

Xu Jiamu instinctively looked up from the contract to see Song Xiangsi elegantly walk into the room like an arrogant queen, as she did in the past. She took just a few steps forward when she suddenly stopped in her tracks upon seeing him.

Behind her, her manager also came to a stop. When she saw Xu Jiamu, she was dazed for a moment, before coming back to her sense. She greeted him, "Hello, Chief Xu."
