Zuo Qiu did not dare to object and immediately gave the secretary there a call.

The person on the other line agreed politely but had also expressed some dissatisfaction during the conversation.

The appointment had already been confirmed. Were you having fun canceling it now instead of earlier? Their CEO was already on the way to the meeting.

Zuo Qiu could feel his stomach tied in knots. This client was different from others. The company had placed extreme importance on him, even Lisa took it very seriously and did not allow room for mistakes.

If the client was unhappy, Manoban Group would suffer when they next met.

Zuo Qiu gave it a thought and said, "I'm so sorry. President Manoban is actually on the way. But he had just received a call saying President Manoban's fiancé had been in an accident. We're still not sure what the situation is. I'm afraid President Manoban would not be able to concentrate even if he had met with President Xu, he'll be worried about his fiancé's condition."

The secretary on the other side made him wait while reporting the matter to President Xu. They did not expect President Xu to personally pick up the phone. Zuo Qiu did not dare to speak on behalf of Lisa and passed the phone to him instead.

Lisa forced himself to keep calm, but he could not control trembling in his voice. It was a light tremble that was not very obvious, "President Xu, I'm terribly sorry. I was really looking forward to this meeting but I've just received a call telling me my fiancé's..."

"I understand," the tremble in Lisa's voice did not escape President Xu ears.

Someone who was highly regarded by Lisa was definitely no ordinary man. Much like Lisa, he was detail-oriented and did not miss the slight tremor in Lisa's voice. He was understanding of the situation and did not feel slighted at all. This had, after all, involved someone he loved.

"President Manoban, do go look after your fiancé. You don't need to worry about what happened today. We can meet at another time. You have nothing to apologize for. An emergency situation could happen to anyone," President Xu said seriously.

"thank you," Lisa thanked him and hung up.

...

Zuo Qiu stopped the car in front of the hospital. Lisa opened the door before the car had even parked properly. As his feet struck the ground, he realized he felt weak in the knees.

"Master Manoban?" Zuo Qiu called out worriedly. He turned back to look at him. There did not seem to be any strange signs on Lisa's grim face.

"I'm okay," Lisa replied casually and did not say another word. If he did, he could betray his agitated emotions.

He took a deep breath and steadied himself. He got off the car and gave Jennie a call.

When Jennie picked up, Lisa nervously asked before she even spoke, "Where are you?"

Jennie told him. She could tell that he was nervous and was worried that he had misunderstood the situation and get even more worried. So, she quickly comforted him. "I'm okay, don't worry about it. I've only just hit my wrist..."

"Let's talk when I see you," he could not relax until he saw her.

When Shao Huai called him, he did not sound like he was in a panic. He knew that nothing bad happened to Jennie. But he was worried. His hands felt cold and they were trembling. He was sweating cold sweat all along the way.
