A Coincidence

"But I don't know He Ming very well. It'll be awkward if I go." Shu Pan said a little uncomfortably. She didn't like occasions that made her feel like a zoo animal being gawked at.

"It's okay. He invited you too. I'm just the messenger. If you don't want to go, you'll need to tell him yourself." Gu Shaoting passed the ball to He Ming.

"Alright then." Shu Pan agreed helplessly.

"I'll pick Joy up later and then pick you up. Is that okay?" Gu Shaoting sought Shu Pan's opinion.

"Sure." Shu Pan dove back into work after she hung up as the tender closing date was approaching.

Shu Pan came back from the photocopying room with a stack of documents. She was busy for a while before she had time to check her phone.

She had two recent missed calls.

She was very familiar with the caller's phone number. It belonged to her best friend, Ye Xiaomeng.
