Huo Yao did not want to go on talking about the extra reading she had to do over the holidays, so she said goodbye to Wu Yue and left the office.
When she took the lift to the ground floor, the lift door opened and someone holding several cartons could be seen standing at the entrance. The boxes were quite big and were piled up high in front of the man, completely covering his face.
Huo Yao glanced briefly before looking away. When she walked past the man, the man's hands wobbled slightly and the cartons on top slid down onto Huo Yao.
Huo Yao instinctively extended her hands and caught the boxes.
The man realized that the cartons had nearly fallen onto some passerby, so he quickly turned around and apologized in an anxious tone. "My bad. I didn't see you there. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Huo Yao shook her head and placed the cartons in his hands.
"Thanks. I appreciate it," said the man.
Huo Yao replied. "You're welcome."
