[1] The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You

Chapter 35: Diving into Lisa's Office Desk Under His Gaze

Jennie pushed against his chest with her hands. She heard the sound of people passing by the door outside and softly changed the topic. "I saw that there's a new hot pot restaurant downstairs. There are also several restaurants nearby. Can you eat spicy food?"

Lisa released her. When Jennie got up from his embrace, his hands remained around her waist, preventing her from walking too far and keeping her by his side.

"My preference in food is simple. There's not much I'm picky about."

Jennie originally wanted to bring Lisa to the new restaurant to take on the challenge of their special spicy hot pot, but after considering her stomach, she gave up. "Then let's have traditional charcoal hot pot. I'm not sure if it'll be crowded right now. Let me call and reserve a spot."

While speaking, she checked on her phone the number of the hot pot restaurant.

Her phone screen had just lit up when the handset on the office desk suddenly rang. Lisa casually pressed it, and Shen Mu's voice filled the room. "CEO Manoban, Elder Manoban is here."

Lisa did not expect his grandfather would suddenly show up. He was quiet for a moment before calmly asking, "Is he on the way up?"

"Yes, the elevator should arrive soon to the highest floor."

The call was cut off. Lisa glanced to the side and saw that Jennie, who had been planning to call up the restaurant to reserve seats, had suddenly run off to the side. She stood behind the black sofa in the office and swiveled around once. She then ran behind the document shelf and spun around again.

"What are you doing?"

"Grandfather Manoban is here. I haven't seen him in so long. If he saw that I was in your office disturbing your work, he'll definitely be upset. It's going to be his birthday soon; I better not leave him with a bad impression." While speaking, Jennie's gaze searched in every direction. "I need to find a place to hide."

Lisa sighed and smiled. His gaze had a hint of teasing in it. "If he sees you, he'll be pleased. How could he be upset."

How could Jennie pay attention to what he was saying. She focused on the sound outside the door. There seemed to be the clicking sound of a walking stick against the ground gradually approaching.

Her gaze narrowed, looking at the large office desk Lisa was standing behind. Subconsciously, she walked over quickly and dived under the table under Lisa's eyes.

Seeing her kneeling posture, Lisa's gaze darkened.

The door opened.

Although every generation of the Manoban family had prospered, Elder Manoban had joined the army when he was young, supporting North Korea against the American army. He possessed an army rank, and even when he returned to the business world, he retained the strong temper of a senior officer. Since he was in his grandson's office, there was no need for someone else to lead the way. The moment he arrived at the office entrance, he did make any noise and directly opened the door.

At the very moment when the door opened, Jennie raised her head and made an "shhh" expression to Lisa.

Lisa: "..."

"I just came and heard from Shen Mu that Jennie is here as well. Why don't I see her?" Despite having the wise tone that accompanied old age, Elder Manoban's voice was imposing and dignified. His words became louder as he approached.

Jennie raised her hand to hold her temple.

Earlier on when she came, she did not notice Shen Mu. As the CEO's assistant, Shen Mu has always been soft-spoken. When exactly did he find out that she was here. He actually told Grandfather Manoban about it.
