Awkward
600 Words
The lobby of the presidential suite was covered with thick, imported New Zealand lamb's wool carpet, handcrafted and soft as a cloud to walk on, making it very comfortable.
However, in this situation, even if Su Xixi were walking on clouds, her feelings wouldn't be too good.
Gu Qibai walked to the sofa and sat down, with Su Xixi following him, wanting to speak but unsure of what to say. She wasn't even sure if the other party recognized her.
If the other party didn't remember her at all, then her current silent and tense appearance would seem somewhat ridiculous.
"Um... Mr. Gu, may I ask what you would like for dinner? Chinese or Western cuisine? We have prepared a menu for you, and I'll bring it over for you to look at," Su Xixi said, even though being a housekeeper wasn't her intended role. But since she was put in this position, she could only fulfill her duties with a stiff upper lip. After all, they were now a hotel VIP and a housekeeper. She turned and walked to the nearby bookshelf, taking down a pre-prepared menu and offering it to him.
Perhaps due to her anxiousness to perform well or nervousness facing him, when she walked to the sofa, her steps were too light. As a result, she couldn't avoid hitting her shin on the corner of the coffee table, instantly causing her pain and tears to well up.
Bending over, she reflexively moved to protect her injured leg, but halfway through the motion, she suddenly realized she was still on duty. She choked back her tears and straightened up, walking unsteadily to Gu Qibai and offering the menu, "Mr. Gu, please take a look."
Gu Qibai took the menu and began to flip through it.
While he was reading the menu, Su Xixi took the opportunity to bend down and rub her sore shin, her expression full of pain.
"Do you need to see a doctor?" His eyes were still on the menu, but his voice was directed at her.
Caught in her little movement, Su Xixi quickly suppressed her expression and stood straight, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gu. I'm fine, just accidentally bumped my leg. No need to see a doctor."
"Mr. Gu didn't ask you to check your leg; he asked you to check your ears to see if you have vertigo caused by benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, leading to dizziness and blurred vision." Assistant Qiu Ye walked over to explain.
Su Xixi's face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
So, he wasn't really concerned about her; he was mocking her "poor eyesight". "Mr. Gu, Rui Feng Group has arranged a welcome banquet for you, personally invited by Mr. Sun. Please make sure to attend," Qiu Ye reported to Gu Qibai without caring about Su Xixi's expression.
"The old man's face needs to be given," Gu Qibai said, standing up. "Reply to him that I will attend on time."
"Yes, sir," Qiu Ye replied.
Hearing that they would be going out for dinner, Su Xixi breathed a sigh of relief. One less service he needed, and her time facing him would be shorter. Gu Qibai went into the room to change clothes, and Su Xixi took the opportunity to ask Qiu Ye for Gu Qibai's schedule for the next few days. She found out that his schedule was quite packed, with almost no time spent at the hotel during the day except for sleeping at night. This relieved a great burden from her mind. At least during the day, she would have some freedom.
