Ling Chuxia walked up to the office desk, her eyes scanning the surface, cluttered with numerous documents. Fearing that the medicine box might have been buried underneath, she stretched out her hand and began to search through them, one by one.
Because she was so focused, her attention fully absorbed by the task at hand, Ling Chuxia didn't hear the sound of the door being pushed open, nor the footsteps entering the room until a familiar, deep voice sounded from behind her.
"What are you doing?"
At the sound of that voice, Ling Chuxia's entire body seemed to be struck by something, suddenly freezing in place. Her eyes widened, and her hands stiffened midair, completely immobilized.
Hadn't Shi Che gone to a meeting? Why had he suddenly come back?
A moment of blankness flashed through Ling Chuxia's mind, but she quickly forced herself to calm down. No matter what, she couldn't let Shi Che see any slip-ups, lest she arouse his suspicion.
