Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 500: An Invitation

Charlene smiled and then asked, “Do you get many opportunities to go into the CEO’s office?”

“Not really because Mr. Zhang is usually the one who interacts with CEO Gu.” Xiaoyu replied with an incredulous expression on her face.

“I see.” Charlene was lost in thought.

She needed to think of a way to get close to Brother Gu. How else would she win him over?

Charlene looked at the time. It was 9:30; her Brother Gu should have arrived in his office.

She straightened her clothes, picked up a notebook and walked towards the CEO’s office.

“Knock, knock…” Gu Shaoting was startled when he heard the knock on the door because he was saying sweet nothings to Shu Pan.

Shu Pan also heard the knock on the end of the call, so she found an excuse and hung up.

“Please come in…” Gu Shaoting said in an annoyed tone because he didn’t appreciate the interruption.

“Brother Gu, is this a bad time?” Charlene carefully poked her head in.

“It’s fine. Come in.” Gu Shaoting suppressed his annoyance when he saw that it was Charlene.

“Brother Gu, my presence here has troubled you.” Charlene said politely like a submissive little wife. She believed in the saying “one step back today for two steps forward tomorrow”.

“Not at all. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask. I asked Mr. Zhang to supervise you because I’m quite busy and not always in the office.” Gu Shaoting’s words made sense.

Charlene stood beside Gu Shaoting’s desk, all tall and charming with her beautiful, fair skin. Her every move exuded the elegance of a wealthy young miss. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were wandering with excitement.

But no matter what her expression and thoughts were, Gu Shaoting seemed indifferent because he was thinking where he should take Shu Pan for lunch later.

They worked at different companies at different locations and Shu Pan was busy with Joy when they were home. They didn’t really get much couple time.

Therefore, their two-hour lunch break was precious.

“Brother Gu, I have a few questions for you, but I don’t want to disturb you at work. Is lunchtime today convenient for you? Let’s have lunch together.” Charlene’s invitation sounded so legit that it was difficult to decline.

Gu Shaoting wanted to tell her to cut to the chase but held back when he saw her eager eyes.

He also thought about how he hadn’t yet welcomed her after she touched down on this foreign land.

“Alright, let me get some work done first. Please ask Mr. Zhang to come along.” Gu Shaoting thought that having his secretary at their lunch would be better. He would ask Shu Pan for her opinion later.

“Thanks, Brother Gu. I shan’t disturb you anymore.” Charlene was so happy that she wanted to dance. She didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. As for Mr. Zhang, he would probably be too busy to join them later.

After Charlene finished, she politely left Gu Shaoting’s office.

Gu Shaoting finally had his peace. He shrugged as he wondered what young girls nowadays were thinking.

He got down to work.

It was almost noon when Gu Shaoting looked at the time. He called Shu Pan.

“Wifey, what are you doing? Come to my office. We’ll have lunch together.” Gu Shaoting said as soon as the call was connected.

“All that running around is too much trouble. I’ll just find something to eat my office cafeteria.” Shu Pan was reluctant.

“A friend has just arrived and it’s a welcome lunch.” Gu Shaoting said awkwardly.

Shu Pan thought that Gu Shaoting was referring to one of his male friends, so she didn’t take it to heart.

“You have lunch with your friend. I’ll meet him some other time.” Shu Pan figured that they probably had things to discuss.
