Chapter 2

 Ten past three.

She will definitely not be able to return to her dormitory at this time. In order to save money, she has not rented a house outside.

There were a few drunk men on the roadside, shouting all kinds of nonsense at the top of their lungs. Dana put on her headphones, listened to soft music, and walked forward along the road.

 Go straight ahead and there is a 24-hour convenience store on the corner.

After she entered, she ordered a bowl of instant noodles. The convenience store provided free hot water. The aunt who worked the night shift had known her for a long time and pointed to a seat by the window for her to sit down.

"Are you getting off work at this time, Dana?" Auntie was sorting out the goods while chatting with her, "Do you still need to get up early in the morning?"

Dana held the noodle bowl and took a sip of the soup. Her body felt warmer, "I want it."

Hearing this, the aunt showed a look of pity and urged her to rest: "After eating, lie down and sleep for a while. I'll wake you up in the morning."

 "Thank you, Auntie." She smiled lightly and leaned on the table to fall asleep.

Before going to bed, she suddenly remembered that the doctor sent a picture during the day, which was a breakdown of medical expenses.

In fact, she clicked on it when she woke up, but forgot to reply. She lay lazily on the table, resting her arms on her head, typing on the keyboard with one hand.

"Doctor, I'm sorry for not replying to you in time. I will hand over the money at the end of the month."

After sending the message, she buried her head in her arms, found a suitable position, and fell asleep quickly.

 As soon as I woke up, the sky turned white.

The aunt woke her up, and Dana bought two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, picked up her schoolbag, and trotted to catch the subway.

 Unfortunately, the subway had just left the second before she arrived at the subway station.

Although time is tight, there is no other way but to wait anxiously. Finally, the next bus arrived eight minutes later.

Dana was a fast runner, especially when she was checking in for work. She was so energetic that she left the subway station and took a shortcut back to the company.

At 8:25, the colleagues at the front desk had already changed into work clothes, and there was no one in the lobby on the first floor who had just come to work. Dana held the phone and rushed towards the elevator.

 There are three elevators in total.

At a glance, she saw an elevator stopped on the first floor. Although it was a sign of rising, the elevator had not yet moved.

 There is no perfect way.

Before Dana could reach the elevator, he stretched out his arms and leaned forward to press the buttons. He almost lost his balance.

 But the imagined scene of the elevator door opening did not appear.

The moment her fingertips touched the button, the elevator began to operate and went up.

 The other elevator kept rising and stopping.

 The time came to eight twenty-six.

 Today is the last day of August.

Al Noor Holdings' perfect attendance reward for interns is 2,000 yuan a month, which is higher than the perfect attendance reward of any other company.

 She even had a high fever and gave up her part-time job, but still insisted on going to work on time.

 It's already the last day.

 Yesterday, Dr. Zhou sent the bills for the past month, and the figures reached a new high.

 She needs this perfect attendance award very much.

Dana turned her head and looked to the right. There was no time for her to hesitate for too long, so she walked towards the remaining elevator that was most likely unoccupied.

 ——Exclusive elevator for CEO.

While keeping an eye on the lobby to see if anyone was coming, she pressed the elevator button with her backhand, and the door slowly opened.

 Eight twenty-eight.

 She ducked into the elevator and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

 Let her get the perfect attendance award.

 Still not laughing out loud——

 Dana looked up.

 Besides her, there were two men in the elevator.

In a flash of lightning, Dana deeply regretted her impulsiveness.

Who would have thought that she had not taken a single day off from work in the company for two months, and for sixty-two days, she had not even seen her boss's face. But now, because he came to take the president's exclusive elevator, he was caught by his boss.

The elevator was already quiet, but now there was an undercurrent surging in the small space. Dana's heartbeat was pounding, as if it would break through her chest in the next second.

Her brain was running rapidly, and she came up with several reasons in a short time to explain why she appeared here.

I have to deliver information to my boss; the new intern is not familiar with the company and does not know that this is the elevator exclusively for the president. Anyone who does not know is not guilty.

The elevator door was closed tightly at the moment she was thinking. Dana took a deep breath and turned around. Since she "didn't know" that this was the CEO elevator, she had to be honest.

She didn't know where to direct her gaze. Although she controlled herself not to look at anyone, she still caught a glimpse of the two men.

The shorter man was wearing a gray suit and black round-rimmed glasses. He held documents under his arms and crossed his hands in front of his abdomen. His face was very friendly.

Another taller man had his hands in the pockets of his black trousers. With the same gaze, Dana could only see the man's sharp chin and perfect jawline.

 It feels inexplicably familiar.

 She raised her head in confusion, and the next second she fell into a cold and dark gaze.

 The man's face deeply overlapped with a certain face in his memory.

"It's you!" Dana covered her mouth in surprise, rolled her round eyes a few times, and moved sideways to the front of the man to make sure she saw correctly, "Do you work here too?"

 She had an encounter with a man a month ago.

 Although, it was not a very pleasant encounter.

Dana's heart dropped steadily, and she became visibly relaxed. She looked at the shorter man again.

 The latter didn't dare to express his anger, and his eyes swept over the two of them, looking a little worried.

 The man didn't reply, and Dana secretly blamed him for being rude.

But at least he helped himself, and kindly reminded him: "You must have just arrived, right? This elevator is reserved for the president. Fortunately, it is me you met. Don't take it next time." He just finished speaking.

The man frowned and glanced at her with an extremely unhappy expression and cold eyes. The short man who had been observing them in the corner of the elevator couldn't help laughing.

 Dana gave him a confused look.

The short man nodded apologetically, pressed his index finger on the frame of his glasses and pushed them up. The lenses could not block his smiling eyes.

 It's like laughing at Dana's "self-centeredness".

 She curled her lips, and her round eyes looked a little annoyed now.

 What to do.

 It was obviously a good intention to remind him, but the look in his eyes made him think that he was owed millions.

 The elevator chime sounded at this moment.

 "The thirty-second floor has been reached. Please be careful when opening the door."

 …

Dana then remembered that she forgot to press the floor. The human resources management department where she worked was located on the fifteenth floor.

 Look at the time, eight twenty-nine.

 It should still be possible.

 She hurriedly reached out and pressed the 15th floor sign, but the 15 sign did not light up.
