Just as He Ju and Si Hua were relut to part, footsteps suddenly sou the door. He Ju let go of Si Hua, who was lost in thought, and held her in his arms with one hand.

  Si Hua also came to her senses for a moment, quickly tidying up her disheveled clothes and hair. "I look like this, it's really embarrassing to see people. I'll go out from the bad wait for you in the parking lot."

  He Ju: "Actually, it doesn't matter if someone sees us... I will take responsibility."

  Before He Ju could say the rest of the sentence, Si Hua hurriedly grabbed her bag and ran off. "See you ter."

  After all, this is Starlight. Many people have seen Si Hua here. If she is found with He Ju, she will be fine, but He Ju may not be so easygoing.

  He Ju could only shake his head helplessly and then looked at the pork rib soup oable, feeling full of sweetness in his heart.

  Soon, the person came over, and from a distance, He Ju could see the figure of that person.

  Liu Jia was carrying something and hurriedly came towards him. "I saw the background picture you posted on your friend circle an ho was in the pany, so I thought you must be w overtime, so I brought you some dinner. You..."

  Liu Jia approached eagerly, but when she saw the food box pced behind He Ju, her words stopped abruptly.

  For the past two months, she had been in Imement 2, while He Ju had been in Imement 1, both in the same office. But He Ju treated her no differently than any other ordinary colleague.

  Every time she tried to get close to He Ju, she was calmly pushed away by He Ju...

  Liu Jia couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "Is this... have you had dinner? Did your brother send it?"

  He Ju smiled and shook his head: "My girlfrie it."

  What?

  Liu Jia's face suddenly turned pale.

  For two months, He Ju had never mentioned having a girlfriend, nor had she ever seen He Ju being intimate with anyone. She thought...

  He Ju sat down on his own and started eating the dinner Si Hua had sent. Then he smiled at Jia Jia o him. "You must be tired from rushing over. I have a portion here for you. I uand your portion, so why don't you sit down aogether?"

  Liu Jia came to her senses. She was already heartbroken, uo maintain her usual smile. Reason told her that she couldn't stay any longer.

  But this was the only ce to be aloh He Ju.

  Every time they met at the pany, she could only watch him from a distance, feeling both sad and happy.

  In the end, Liu Jia sat down not far from He Ju. "I haveeher, so let's eat together."

  He Ju was slightly surprised. He had clearly stated that he had a girlfriend, but Liu Jia still wao sit down and have a meal with him.

  How could he not see Liu Jia's iions?

  He had been like this himself in the past.

  He Ju chatted with Liu Jia absentmindedly. Soon, he finished his diurned off the puter, packed up, and was ready to leave. "Jia Jia, my girlfriend is waiting for me downstairs. I won't wait for you. I'm leaving first."

  Liu Jia quickly turned her face away, not letting He Ju see her teary eyes, and replied softly, "Okay, be safe on the way."

  Looking at Liu Jia now, he felt like he was looking at his past self. He couldn't help but feel a bit of pity for Liu Jia. The feeling of being ignored by the person you like was not easy to bear.

  So He Ju took a pack of tissues from his bag and pced it on Liu Jia's desk, and also took a bottle of mineral water and pced it o Liu Jia.

  He Ju didn't expose her vulnerability at this moment, just said politely, "Get home safely."

  He Ju left, out of Liu Jia's sight, but he didn't go far. He leaned against the wall in the corridor, hands in his pockets, listening to the movement inside.

  He didn't like Liu Jia, but after so many years as cssmates and now colleagues, he just wao make sure Liu Jia was safe.

  And Liu Jia's tears had already burst the moment He Ju left the office, and she was sobbing oable.

  She liked He Ju too much, but she was too weak, so she swallowed the half-cooked rice withret.

  She always felt that there was still time. As long as He Ju stopped liking Su Ran, she could slowly apany He Ju out of the pain. But...

  Fate was not something she could wait for just because she wao.

  One missed opportunity is forever.

  Liu Jia choked up, and her ph in her bag. Even with tears in her eyes, she could see clearly who was calling. It was her mother.

  Liu Jia burst into tears instantly. When she answered the phone, she couldn't even say a plete sentence.

  After calming down, Liu Jia finally choked out, "Mom, I'm at the office. you e and pick me up?"

  After hanging up the phone, Liu Jia tio lie oable. The suffog feeling of heartache made her feel like she was about to die at any moment.

  Liu Jia was lost in her own world and naturally didn't notice that He Ju, outside the corridor, had breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Liu Jia calling her mother to pick her up, and theurned a.

  If he didn't have Sister Si Hua, who loved him deeply and gave him all her heart, by his side, perhaps he would have been moved by Liu Jia's persistend eventually fallen for her.

  But...

  There are no "ifs" in this world.

  In the parking lot, He Ju saw the uious BMW. Si Hua was standing with her ba, talking on the phone. Her long wavy hair hung down to her waist, and her slender figure was a feast for the eyes from behind.

  He Ju didn't disturb Si Hua until she hung up the phohen he rushed over and hugged Si Hua from behind, sg her with a cry of surprise, and she almost dropped her phone.

  But the moment she smelled the familiar st, Si Hua rexed instantly and asked sweetly, "Missed me?"

  He Ju rubbed his fragrant sister and chuckled, "I did."

  Si Hua's face turned red in an instant and she couldn't help but pat the arm that was holding her waist. "Let's go home."

  Si Hua was trembling with fear. Although it en and ho embrad kiss, it felt a bit like an affair in the office.

  He Ju obediently let go of Si Hua, and the two of them got in the car ahe parking lot.At first, He Ju didn't know that Starshine was Si Hua's pany, but over the past two months, there was oime when he went to see Bai Yan and witnessed Bai Yan furiously scolding the leader of his Imement.

  The leader of his Imement didn't dare to eve out a peep and respectfully addressed Bai Yan as "Young Master."

  In that instant, He Ju uood the words Bai Yan had said before: if one wao get into Starshi actually depended mainly on Si Hua.

  He Ju didn't arm anyone a quietly, but after returning, he thhly iigated the Starshine Group.

  Although the Starshine Group didn't bear Si Hua's was uhe name of a man with the surname Bai. If He Ju wasn't mistaken, that should be the father of Bai Yan and Si Hua.

  Therefore, Si Hua was ihe current president and executive director of the Starshine Group.

  He Ju could uand why Si Hua and Bai Yan didn't tell him, and he wasn't angry about it. It only made him more determined...

  To stand firm at the pinnacle, above the masses.
