Ye Xiu and Qin Qing followed Gong Jin to the top floor by elevator. On the way up, Qin Qing was extremely nervous, her heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of her throat. The pressure from Gong Jin was immense, so much so that she felt she might lose Ye Xiu at any moment.
"Please, come in." Gong Jin opened the office door and gestured for them to enter. After Ye Xiu and Qin Qing stepped inside, Gong Jin followed and locked the door behind them.
Seeing this, Qin Qing grew even more nervous. It's just a casual chat. Is locking the door really necessary?
However, Gong Jin's next action struck Qin Qing like a bolt from the blue.
"Subordinate Gong Jin greets the Young Master and Young Mistress," she said respectfully, kneeling on one knee.
"Ah?" Qin Qing was dumbstruck, her face a picture of bewilderment. Subordinate?
"Rise." Ye Xiu helped Gong Jin up before taking Qin Qing's hand and leading her to a sofa in the living area.
