Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Abby hadn't responded to Evan yet. She was still at the office, buried in work.

Evan's message had gone unread-she didn't even have a moment to glance at it. All Abby wanted was to finish her tasks quickly so she could finally grab dinner after a long day. Doesn't Evan have a job to do?

Evan had his own company to manage, aside from the affairs of the York Corporation. Surely, he wasn't just sitting around with nothing to do.

She hadn't even had time for a sip of water, let alone replying to Evan.

When she thought about how busy she was compared to Evan's apparent idleness, a flicker of annoyance burned inside her. She didn't feel like paying him any attention. Her parents might think she needed to be with Evan, but Abby wasn't so sure.

It wasn't like she couldn't find someone else. She could meet someone who genuinely captured her heart.
