Lu Xia sat there for almost 30 minutes, but she noticed that Huo Yanxi was still busy. She stood up and walked over to his desk.
She said, "Brother Yanxi, carry on with your work. It's about time that I went home."
Huo Yanxi's hand froze. He put down his pen and raised his head to look at Lu Xia with an apologetic look on his handsome face. He said, "I'm slightly busy today. Why don't you wait for a little longer? We can eat after I'm done."
Lu Xia's eyes glinted slightly. She shook her head and said in a considerate manner, "It's fine. Work comes first. We can always eat some other time. I'm off."
She swiftly turned towards the door without waiting for Huo Yanxi to respond. Her departing figure seemed a little lonely from behind.
Huo Yanxi watched as she disappeared through the door. He leaned back into the chair and rubbed his forehead. After staying quiet for a long time, he raised his head to grab his phone from the table.
