Chapter 1775: Late for a Good 20 MinutesTranslator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Hello, this is reception . ”
“Hi, what time is it?” There was a note of irritation in Ye Qianqian’s voice . The lady in reception was momentarily stunned her before she took a glance at the time and replied, “Good morning, ma’am, the current time is 1:32 a . m . How may I help you?”
“Um… Do you have some hangover soup? Grab me some food on the way as well . ”
“Yes, ma’am, I’ll arrange for someone to deliver your meal . Please wait for a moment . ”
“Yeah, sorry about the trouble . ”
Ye Qianqian hung up the phone . She sprawled out on the bed on her stomach like a zombie . Her head was throbbing with pain .
She felt as though she had single-handedly chugged down two cartons of alcohol, which was 24 bottles, no more and no less .
This was the first time Ye Qianqian had drunk so much alcohol, as well as the first doing so alone .
Beyond Ye Qianqian’s endless trips to the bathroom, along with a few occasions of throwing up, it seemed that there wasn’t much of a difference .
Ye Qianqian suddenly felt a slight sense of admiration for how she had visited a place like a KTV all by herself . It was as if she was drowning out her sorrows like “Dumb and Dumber . ”
Reality had proven that it was utterly useless to do so . Not only did she not sort out her melancholy, but be she also incurred a severe hangover .
Not long after, an attendant arrived to take her order . After Ye Qianqian ate some food and drank her hangover soup, she felt much better .
Ye Qianqian took a shower and went to bed . She slept until it was daybreak .
By the time she woke up, the sky was completely bright .
Ye Qianqian gazed out of the window at the sky . She All suddenly rolled out of bed like a writhing carp fish .
“I’m done for! I’m done for!”“I still have to head to work today!”
Ye Qianqian bolted into the bathroom . After she finished washing up, she grabbed her bag and quickly made her way down to check out .
As Ye Qianqian checked out, the first thing she looked at was the few big clocks behind the cashier .
“I’m done for! I’m done for! It’s already 8:30 a . m . !”
After Ye Qianqian settled the bill, she sprinted out of the hotel to hail a cab . She felt the urge to cry, but no tears came out .
Based on what Ye Qianqian knew, this place was a good 18 miles distance from the headquarters of Eurasian Comics .
That means I will probably be late no matter what!
Ye Qianqian hugged her bag in the car . Her heart was filled with trepidation . Bosses had a certain type of ability . Everything was good when there was nothing wrong . Once an employee was late, no matter how well they usually treated the employee, they could always cook up a million reasons to give the employee a good dressing-down during times like these .
However, such a situation quickly disappeared five minutes after Ye Qianqian got into the cab .
Ye Qianqian didn’t even have a cellphone . The journey to her office would take at least 40 minutes . Once she was left to idle with nothing to preoccupy her with for so long, her brain began to quickly whir .
All the emotions Ye Qianqian had tossed to the back of her mind from the past two days were instantly unleashed . She found it hard to stop the emotions from muddling up her thoughts . They forced their way into her . It was hard for her to continue to ignore those feelings .
Ye Qianqian’s breath slightly quickened . She twisted the shoulder strap of her purse with her fingers while she stared fixedly at her fingernails .
Since there was a slight traffic jam, by the time Ye Qianqian reached the office, it was already 9:20 a . m .
She was a good 20 minutes late .
Ye Qianqian was no longer in a hurry . Since a hundred dollars would be deducted from her pay regardless of whether she was 20 or 30 minutes late, she might as well take her time and not work up over nothing . She didn’t expect to bump into a familiar silhouette standing by the entrance of her office right after she reached it .
Panic shot through Ye Qianqian’s heart . Her boss, who was neatly dressed in business attire, was making a call on her cellphone . Just when Ye Qianqian was about to avoid her, her boss coincidentally looked up and caught her in the act .
