A Minor Inconvenience During Contract Signing

At noon the following day, Gu Shaoting and He Ming went to see Mr. John at his office. John was an elegant and humorous French man. They spoke in English. They had communicated before today and this meeting was set up mainly to confirm the details of the contract and sign it. The meeting progressed smoothly. Just as they were about to sign the contract, a lady knocked on the door and walked in.

"Lady" probably wasn't the right word to use. She was more of a girl.

She had jet black dark hair and very fair skin. The simple white dress she was wearing accentuated her youthful vigor. The most attractive thing about her was her black, sparkly, and unforgettable eyes.

Gu Shaoting and He Ming looked at each other, confused about what was happening. But it was obvious that this girl had a special relationship with Mr. John, or she wouldn't have walked in without waiting for a response after she knocked.
