Stealing Your Heart

“My subordinate?” Jiang Mohan quickly recalled that Nan Cheng wasn’t at the company today. Could he be the one?

“Did Nan Cheng seek you out?”

Zong Yanxi huffed out a mirthless laugh. “Don’t act like you didn’t know?”

Jiang Mohan spoke with all honesty, “I really didn’t know. What did he say to you that made you so angry? If it’s really a mistake on his end, I’ll apologize to you on his behalf.”

Zong Yanxi also realized with a start that she might have been too reckless.

Although Jiang Mohan was cold-hearted, he always owned up to his actions.

“He told me to go to your company and report my progress on the proposal. And because the agreed time frame was a month, so I was upset with this request.”

“I see. In that case, I apologize to you on his behalf. Since we said one month, we shouldn’t have pushed you about the progress,” Jiang Mohan responded with utmost sincerity.

On the contrary, Zong Yanxi had nothing more to say. “Since it was a misunderstanding, I won’t pursue this matter anymore. I just hope that you’ll handle your subordinates better, President Jiang. Last time it was Ling Wei, and this time it was Nan Cheng. Do all of your subordinates always step out of line?”

“I promise that there won’t be a next time.” Jiang Mohan could not grasp Nan Cheng’s intentions for doing this.

Furthermore, he went behind his back to do it.

“I hope you’ll keep your word, President Jiang. I’m only here for work. I don’t want to be dragged into any trouble for no reason.”

After saying her piece, she stood up. “I should go now.”

Jiang Mohan got up as well. “I’ll see you out.”

“It’s fine,” Zong Yanxi rejected him.
