"Everyone looks weirdly absent-minded," Joe Li glanced at Finn Chen. He found that Finn fixated on his desk after sitting. It's like all others were invisible to him.
"Absent-minded?" Finn raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "So what?"
"So, don't you want to know why they act so?" Joe continued.
"Not really," Finn shook his head.
"All right."
Then Joe announced, "Dude, do you hear that our company will have a new president today."
"Yes," Finn nodded faintly. In his mind, that had nothing to do with him. The only reason he's here was for Jonny Huang. He perhaps would return to City C after settling all things.
"The new president is a woman."
"A woman?" Finn raised his head curiously. It occurred to him that Rachel Qin told him last night that Maura Xia was about to go to Rachel's company as president. Is "Rachel's company" the KM Group? Finn thought.
Joe was a bit happy to see Finn's response. He used to think Finn had no interest in girls at all. Now it turned out that Finn pretended to be that. He's interested in the new female president.
"Do you know who the chairman of KM Group is?" Finn asked hurriedly. If he knew the chairman, he would figure out whether KM Group belonged to Rachel.
Joe glanced at Finn in doubt. Why would he ask that?
"Johan Liu. What are you asking for?"
Finn frowned. It seemed that he thought too much.
Then he intended to call Rachel for the answer. At this moment, the whole floor became noisy.
"It's our new president!" someone exclaimed.
Many employees got up and looked at the direction. So did Finn. He was stunned at the figure. Although the woman left quickly, he recognized it's his Maura.
Finn had mixed feelings. Was that something romantic between them or just a coincidence?
They had separated for two days, but now they reunited, in a pretty embarrassing manner.
He became a worker at the bottom-line, while Maura was a powerful president.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Finn's mouth.
"Finn. Do you see the new president? She looks stunning," Joe was a little excited. After all, a stunning female president made him more proud than an old man.
"Yeah. She's pretty," Finn took a deep breath and got his calmness again.
"What about us looking at her again?" Joe got very curious about the president's appearance after Finn's comments.
"Sure," after hesitating for a while, Finn nodded. He missed Maura so much.
