Back Then, I Adored You
chapter-287

Even during the afternoon meeting, he only said, “Let’s get started,” from the time he walked into the conference room until the meeting ended.

The meeting lasted over two hours, during which he did not move even a bit in his chair. It looked like he was attentively listening, when in fact, his mind had wandered far away during the meeting.

When the meeting ended, the whole conference room was strangely quiet for a while. He didn’t recover himself from his daze until Xiaowang reminded him. He responded with an “oh” and looked around the conference table. He said with his mind elsewhere, “Little troublemaker.”

Little troublemaker? What did he mean by little troublemaker? Did we make a mistake and cause trouble during the meeting? everyone in the conference room thought to themselves.

They all fixed their eyes on Gu Yusheng and waited to hear more from him when they heard those two words.

Until he sensed everyone’s serious and curious stares, Gu Yusheng didn’t realize that he had almost said “Little troublemaker, does she love me or not?”

He immediately shut his mouth and swallowed the rest of the words. He cleared his throat in a low pitch and said, “Nothing, dismissed.” He stood up, picked up the laptop on the table, and left the conference room in front of everyone.

After he was back in his office, it was almost five thirty. He should have left the company to get some gifts according to his usual schedule for the past few days.

However, today, he wasn’t in the mood to leave for home early.

He spun his pen between his fingers while he fixed his eyes on the file that was open in front of him. However, he hadn’t read a word on the file. He accidentally dropped the pen on the desk. He picked it up and continued to spin it. After he spun it, he started to doodle on the file.

Gu Yusheng didn’t realize that he had doodled “little troublemaker,””love,” and “not love” with question marks all over the accounting file that he needed to sign until his secretary knocked on the door.

What the f— Gu Yusheng cursed in his head. He picked up the file and tore it into pieces. He tossed them into the trash bin and said to the secretary, “Tell the financial executive to send me a new accounting report.”

“Yes, Master Gu.” After the secretary answered Gu Yusheng, she put a thick pile of files on the desk. “Master Gu, this is the history of MTK Perfume. The owner of MTK hoped you could let him know if you would like to invest in him as soon as possible.”

Gu Yusheng nodded without saying anything.

The secretary had nothing else to report, so she immediately left Gu Yusheng’s office.

The office became quiet again. Gu Yusheng watched the painting on the wall in front of him for a while before he picked up the files the secretary had left on the desk.

The first word he read was “perfume.” He frowned. He had been troubled by something the whole day, but an idea flashed in his head. He picked up the phone on his desk and speed-dialed his secretary.

The secretary picked up the call quickly, only getting a chance to respond with, “Master Gu,” before Gu Yusheng started to talk.

“Can you go to the mall now and buy one of each perfume you find?’

The secretary was obviously shocked by his order. She was stunned into silence for a few seconds. She thought she had heard him wrong, so she asked to confirm Gu Yusheng’s request, “Perfume?”

“Yes, perfume,” Gu Yusheng confirmed.

…

An hour later, the secretary walked into Gu Yusheng’s office with many bags.

She unpacked all the perfumes at Gu Yusheng’s request. The beautiful bottles covered the whole desk.
