"President Shi, I don't mean to pry into your private matters, but... I hope this time you'll succeed and not end up like before... excited then defeated..."
Xiao Zhao almost forced himself to say the last few words, his head hanging down, not daring to look at Shi Che.
A dark light surged in Shi Che's deep black eyes, cold and sharp, falling onto Xiao Zhao. He hadn't even made his move yet, and here he was saying such things. Wasn't that cursing him?
Xiao Zhao felt as though he was being pierced by Shi Che's gaze, and inwardly cursed himself for his inability to lie, not daring to say another word. He hastily added, "President Shi, please, pretend I didn't say anything. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. I wish you and Miss Chuxia a successful reconciliation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao hurriedly turned around and tried to make his escape, but the deep voice halted him right at the door with two succinct words, "Come back!"
