Lo and behold, a door to a second-floor room right in front of her cracked open.

Gu Shishi whipped around immediately.

Lo and behold, a door to a second-floor room right in front of her cracked open.

"Why are you making all that noise?" The coarse voice was filled with impatience.

Gu Shishi turned around and saw the tall Huo Sishen, standing by the door with a frown and an indolent look and a light grey robe over his shoulders.

His cold eyes looked at Gu Shishi, who was still half way up the stairs.

His dimmed gaze slowly fell on the dinner tray in his hand, then zoomed in the glass of milk.

Gu Shishi's hand shuddered and almost drop the milk onto the floor!

"Oh oh oh oh.... Good evening, Mr. Huo...."

"I.... was just about to have dinner... this is my dinner. Mmhmm!"

With her shaking hand, she pointed at the milk on the dinner tray.

Huo Sishen lifted his brows slightly.

Gu Shishi gulped.

Did the boss buy it?

Or was he already unhappy?

She gritted her teeth, picked up the milk on the tray, and chugged it all down!

Her only option now is to destroy the evidence!

And, quickly, a magnetic voice that brought her back to reality rang, "Go back to your room."

Huo Sishen was half frowning.

He looked at the rim of milk moustache left on the girl's upper lip with his dark eyes and paused for a little.

"Don't eat in the hallway. It's not hygienic."

Gu Shishi let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay. I will return to my room immediately!"

Dodged a bullet. She seemed to not have angered the boss today?

Oh yay!

"Let me bring dinner up to you in a minute~"

Huo Sishen's black eyes paused for a second.

He turned around, then stopped again.

".... There's no need. I have already eaten at work."

Gu Shishi let out a cry.

It was a trap!

Deliver dinner to the boss? The maid was trying to set her up!

Luckily, she paid a lot of attention when she was reading the novel, so she was able to recall this particular detail and not be tricked.

"Wait." Surprisingly, Huo Sishen was still standing at the door.

"Eh?" Gu Shishi looked up with the dinner tray still in her hand.

Quickly, the man walked inside his room only to walk back out with a familiar-looking suit.
