The six men entered and stupefied everyone inside the office. Yu Chen’s men were filled with curiosity and disbelief as they looked at this surprising scenario. It almost looked like the guards who entered were groomsmen standing before the bride, who was Yu Chen, as they held bouquets of flowers in their arms.
This surprise was just too unexpected that no one was able to react in time. Yu Chen was the same. He was shocked as hell that no word came out of his mouth. He simply stared at the flowers in the men’s hands.
The message Yu Chen received a while ago was actually from Luo Xiaolei, containing the words, [Good morning Mr. Yu, I hope you like them. ~L.X.]
Yu Chen was so surprised upon reading the message that he froze, like the stone that he was, and was very late to react. His eyes were silently glued to the initials and he didn’t even think about what the words ’I hope you like them’, meant. When he finally snapped out of his daze, another much more lethal surprise stunned him.
"Boss, a lady sent this for you." The men said as they stretched their arms towards him. However, a minute went by and there was still no reaction from Yu Chen. The boss behind the desk just stood there with no sign of moving.
Thick silence crept through the office room. It was as if they were all hanging in the air, like chandeliers before falling and shattering on the ground. It almost felt like even sound ceased to exist for long moments, until the men holding the flowers started to gaze at each other with questioning looks.
Their arms were still stretched out and they were starting to feel somewhat scared because of the absence of a reaction from their boss. This silence was making them feel like their boss was dangling a grenade before them, and they were just waiting for him to pull the pin and let it fall to the ground.
Yu Chen’s so called knights were also acting the same. They were silent, simply waiting for what kind of reaction their boss would show this time. The difference between them and the guards was that there was no fear in their eyes, only pure anticipation and excitement.
When the guards stretched arms were starting to lose their strength, the flowers swayed as if the wind just blew on them. This movement finally broke the stalemate and Yu Chen raised his face from the flowers to his guards.
"Where is she?" his voice finally rang, jolting the guards as they straightened and stretched their hands again.
"She already left, boss. We asked her to deliver the flowers to you personally but she said she had an important exam so she left after telling us what to do."
As soon as Yu Chen heard those words, he slowly sat on his chair. He rested both elbows on his desk, clasped his hands together and rested his chin on them as he fell into a deep silence, as if he was a monk in meditation.
He looked like he was stuck between heaven and hell, as if he didn’t know whether to feel happy or dismayed.
At that moment, the guards holding the flowers started protesting silently.
Boss, don’t just sit there and watch us! Can’t you please just accept these flowers first?! My arms are getting numb now! If you don’t want them, then tell us so we can send this back to her or whatever you want! We are not trained to act like wedding entertainers or human vases! I’d rather hold guns for hours than hold these fragile flowers! Please don’t torture us like this! You know we are scared to even move when you are before us! Huhuhu.
As the guards were crying without tears, the silent boss finally opened his mouth again.
"Gu Jinyang, clear my schedule for today." He declared surprising everyone. The men knew how much of a workaholic Yu Chen was. He never canceled his plans, ever. He only did that if there was an emergency involving his grandfather and his safety. So what was this? Was there an emergency?
Knowing this, the atmosphere drastically changed. The relaxed expressions on Yu Chen’s men immediately turned serious as their senses began to prepare.
"Wait, Yu Chen. Is there an emergency?" Gu Jinyang asked. He was surprised with Yu Chen’s decision. He could only say that Yu Chen wasn’t the usual calm or raging stone anymore. His actions were becoming more and more unpredictable ever since that fateful day. This was why he asked, because he was having serious doubts, and no matter how much he thought about it, there was no event that he knew of that was worthy of being called an emergency right now.
"Yes. We have to go over the plan again." He replied in an extremely serious tone causing Gu Jinyang to frown in great disbelief.
"W-what plan? Don’t tell me you’re talking about the plan of pursuing miss Luo?" he even stammered as he tried to confirm the information and when Yu Chen nodded, Mr. Black crow noisily sang as it flew above the office room.
Gu Jinyang: ". . ."
Everyone: ". . ."
