Against Fate (Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book FanFic)

47. Plan C-offee

"Good morning, everyone!" Feng Jiu happily skipped into the office. Xiao Yan then turned over to her and said, "Looks like you're in a good mood." Feng Jiu smiled brightly and replied, "Yeah! I just woke up feeling great. Hopefully, it will be a nice day at work too!" Then she softly hummed her favourite song, sat down on her desk and took out her laptop.

Lian Song walked into the office and then he walked over to Feng Jiu's workstation. "Morning, Feng Jiu!" She looked up and smiled brightly to him, "Oh, good morning, Lian Song! Are you here to find Si Ming?"

"Oh. She seems to be in a good mood, so it's a good time to ask her to switch places with me." Lian Song silently thought to himself. Then he replied, "Oh yes, I need to discuss with him regarding the project. I'm sure we would see each other more often from now on. By the way, would you mind letting me sit at your workstation today as well? I'm sorry to trouble you, but it's easier for me to liaise with Xiao Yan and Meng Shao."

Feng Jiu was in high spirits, and she didn't think Dong Hua would be in their office today, so she replied cheerfully, "Sure! No trouble at all, you can sit here for as long as you want. So I have to sit in the meeting room again, right?" Feng Jiu then started packing up her work stuff and headed over to the meeting room.

Feng Jiu sat at the same seat as yesterday, and then she stretched out both of her legs. "I actually like this meeting room. It's so comfortable and spacious!" Then she began spinning in her office chair, while happily humming her favourite tune. She had her back facing the door, and then she started singing and pretended to have a 'mini-concert' on her own. She held her fist up to her mouth, acting like it was a microphone. She also rolled her chair from one side to another, and she was having a lot of fun playing around and singing.

Right at this moment, Dong Hua walked into the office. He stood silently at the meeting room door and watched Feng Jiu having fun. He chuckled quietly upon seeing how silly she was. "She seems to be in a good mood. I wonder why." Dong Hua thought internally. Then he continued watching her and smiled to himself.

Feng Jiu suddenly felt like someone was staring at her, and she immediately turned around. She froze when she realized Dong Hua was watching her. She silently rolled her chair back to her seat and bowed her head in embarrassment. Then she said softly, "I'm sorry. I'll get back to work now."

Dong Hua walked in and sat at the other side of the table, then he replied softly, "It was cute." Feng Jiu immediately widened her eyes with shock, and she thought to herself, "Did he just call me cute? Wait, I must be hearing things." Then she began to type on her computer and started to get some work done.

"I praised her, and she ignored me? Did I say something wrong?" Dong Hua silently thought to himself. Then he also began to read some work documents.

Chong Lin knocked on the door and came walking in. He was also holding on to a big bag. "Leave it on the table. You can get back to your office now, and I'll be here the whole day." Dong Hua said to Chong Lin coldly.

"Yes, Sir. I'll head back to work immediately, is there anything else that I could help you with before I leave?" Chong Lin replied politely. "Yeah, shut the blinds before you leave." Dong Hua then pointed towards the glass panels. "I'll do so immediately." Then Chong Lin left the room after he was done shutting the blinds.

Feng Jiu looked up and peeped at Dong Hua. Upon noticing her looking at him, he immediately said, "Too bright." Feng Jiu smiled and replied, "I know." Then she glanced over to the big bag of stuff on his table and thought internally, "Hmm... I wonder what's in there." Then she told herself to mind her own business and went back to typing.
