Chapter 73: Chapter 74: Illness (2)

It felt like I had slept for a very long time. When Lou Xi opened her eyes, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room.

She moved her body and still felt a bit weak. Raising her hand, she noticed an IV drip attached to her arm.

Is this a hospital? But it didn’t quite feel like one.

She looked out the window at the towering buildings and dazzling lights; she was still at Jia Sheng Group...

Could this be an employee resting room? The last thing she remembered was reading materials at her desk, feeling very tired and sleepy, and then falling asleep, and later... she ended up here.

Lou Xi sat up from the bed and suddenly noticed her clothes had been changed, from inside out!

This was a very alarming signal. Who changed her clothes? The president’s office was all male employees, including their CEO!

Judging by the height, she should still be in the president’s office, so who changed her clothes?

While she was deeply pondering this issue, Su Lin came in from outside. Seeing Lou Xi awake, he suddenly felt as if the sky became brighter, even though it was already very late.

"Why didn’t you tell me you caught a cold? If the CEO hadn’t found you lying at the desk, no one would have known if you got a terrible fever," Su Lin said with both reproach and concern.

But Lou Xi was taken aback, "The CEO... the CEO found out?"

On her first day at work, the CEO discovered she was sick. Would her days be okay afterward?

"Yes, this is the CEO’s resting room. You were fortunate to sleep here for a day today."

"The C... CEO’s resting room..." So, the bed she was sleeping on now was the CEO’s bed? The covers were the CEO’s too?

Ah! Lou Xi felt like she was going to collapse. How could she have slept in the CEO’s bed?

She immediately got up from the bed, "Is the CEO still outside?"

"No, the CEO has a dinner meeting tonight. He instructed me to send you home once you woke up."

"Oh..." Luckily the CEO wasn’t outside; otherwise, it would have been awkward to meet face to face.

But he quickly thought of another scenario...

"Can I still come to work tomorrow?"

"No." Su Lin decisively rejected Lou Xi.

Lou Xi was stunned. Was she going to be fired just because she fell asleep on her first day of work?

It wasn’t intentional to get sick, she simply caught a cold after getting rained on yesterday.

Oh, it was because Qin Mobai refused to hold an umbrella for her.

Thinking of Qin Mobai, Lou Xi’s heart felt a bit uneasy.

Now, thinking about losing this job so quickly made her even more upset, she wanted to cry...

"The CEO means you should come back to work once you’re well. Working while sick won’t be efficient."

So, that’s what it meant...

Lou Xi was relieved, but Assistant Su, couldn’t you convey everything at once next time? This pause really makes people nervous!

"Thank you, Assistant Su, and thank you to the CEO." Lou Xi bowed, "Then I’ll... wash this bedding and send it back to the CEO, I’m really sorry... By the way, Assistant Su, do you know who changed my clothes?"

"No need to wash the bedding, someone will be responsible for that." Su Lin thought for a moment, "As for who changed your clothes... when I came back, you were already like this..."

Not getting an answer from Su Lin, Lou Xi felt a bit panicked.

This is the CEO’s resting room, could it be the CEO who changed her clothes?

Impossible, impossible, the CEO wouldn’t bother with such trifles, then was it the doctor who came to check on her?

This explanation seemed plausible.
