Chapter 15 I Want Her to Serve Me (15)

"Don't worry about it," Gan Yuan said, the corners of her lips lifting as she nodded at him before turning to face Liu Chang, "Manager Liu, try to wear shorter heels next time. If you really took a fall, it would be bad for work if it affected your job!"

After speaking, she headed toward the door.

Liu Chang was livid, her face turning an iron blue. "Director Li, you see... "

"Let it go, you're colleagues after all. There's no need to quibble like this," Director Li said, glancing at his watch. "I have another meeting to attend, and you should get back to work too!"

Liu Chang had no choice but to leave his office.

Standing in the hallway, she gritted her teeth in frustration.

"Gan Yuan, you just wait!"

...

...

Gan Yuan took the elevator to the 56th floor, arriving at Huangfu Jue's hotel room and gently knocked on the door with her right hand.

The door was opened by Huangfu Jue's assistant, who greeted her with a smile before pulling open the door to let her in.

"Please follow me."

The assistant led her to the study door, knocked softly, announced her arrival, then opened the door for her, signaling her to enter.

The study was filled with light, and the man stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows wearing only a white shirt. His entire silhouette was edged with gold, and his long shadow was cast upon the luxurious Persian carpet. Like a deity, he was dazzling to behold.

Gan Yuan walked up, stopping four steps behind him.

"Mr. Huangfu, did you need something from me?"

Huangfu Jue, with his back to her, raised his hand and made a signal to his assistant, who immediately handed a document to Gan Yuan.

The document was clear in black and white — HR Summer Release Event Planning Proposal.

"We'd like to use the hotel's rooftop for the release event. Please, Manager Gan, negotiate with the hotel. As the schedule has changed, Mr. Huangfu will need to stay here an additional ten days, so please arrange that as well."

Ten days?

Was there some mistake? Was this person planning to camp out here indefinitely?

Gan Yuan closed the document she held, the tone apologetic, but her intent was far from it.

"I'm terribly sorry, but some rooms on the 56th floor are already booked. I'm afraid we can't accommodate Mr. Huangfu's request."

On any other day, she would've gone out of her way to retain a guest and generate revenue for the hotel, but this time, she just wished he would leave as soon as possible.

The man by the window turned around, his blue eyes landing on her face.

"I'll pay the penalty fees, you negotiate with the guests," he said.

Just as uncompromising as Gan Tang, this guy was equally stubborn.

Gan Yuan inwardly cursed but maintained a smile on her face.

"Alright, I'll do my best to arrange it."

The other party was a guest after all; she couldn't very well throw him out the door.

The assistant handed Huangfu Jue his phone. "Here's your call."

"Mr. Huangfu is busy, so I won't disturb you. I'll find a way to arrange for the room," she said.

After nodding at him, Gan Yuan turned and left his room. When she reached the elevator, she curled her lips and mockingly swung her fist at the imagined handsome face of Huangfu Jue in midair.

Had she been too accommodating, making him want to stay an extra ten days? How could he not be aware of how annoying he was?

Ding!

The elevator doors opened.

Gan Yuan stepped into the elevator and was about to press the floor button when she saw Huangfu Jue, accompanied by his assistant and bodyguard, heading in the direction of the elevator.

Their eyes inadvertently met, and Gan Yuan couldn't pretend not to see him, so she had to hold the elevator door and wait for them to enter.

The man walked in unhurriedly, and the assistant gave her a thankful smile.

"No problem," Gan Yuan quickly replied with the trademark smile of a service worker, "Which floor are you going to?"

"First floor, thank you," the assistant answered with a smile.
