Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 866 - 330: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Fleeting Shadows (Part 5)_4

Chapter 866: Chapter 330: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Fleeting Shadows (Part 5)_4

The man chased after Lin Chu, lowering his posture and pleading earnestly, "Secretary Lin, you can’t just stand by and do nothing. I even helped clock you in last week. I have a proposal due by noon today, and I haven’t slept for two nights. I’m really at my wits’ end."

"I’ve looked everywhere, and no one is willing to help. I’m begging you, save me."

The entire Lu Family belongs to Lu Huai’an, and no one dares to shoot themselves in the foot.

Lin Chu’s head throbbed from his noise, and she impatiently extended her hand, "Hand it over."

The man finally breathed a sigh of relief, handing the paper bag containing clothes to Lin Chu, grinning cheekily, "Many thanks, beautiful Secretary Lin. Next week, your coffee is on me, anytime you call."

Ordinarily, Lin Chu would have struck a queenly pose in response.

But now, she said nothing, showing no emotion, and simply took the paper bag into the elevator.

This colleague came from the countryside, without any background; all difficult tasks fell to him.

For instance, when the old man assigned a secretary to Lu Mingchuan, the person pushed forward was him.

The proud and flamboyant daughter of the Lin Family actually had a Saint-like heart.

The young man also noticed that Lin Chu seemed off, but he wasn’t of a status to inquire further.

Having resolved the matter, the weight in his heart lifted, and when he returned to his office, he dialed his boss’s number.

"Vice President Lu, Secretary Lin came to the company. I waited half the day on the first floor before seeing her. I just handed her the clothes needed for Miss Shen’s photoshoot. She should be on her way to the club now."

He didn’t understand why they had to make Secretary Lin deliver it.

On the other end, Lu Mingchuan stood by the glass window, curling his lips, "Understood."

————

After leaving the Lu Family, Lin Chu called Lin Zongjun.

"Dad, I have something to attend to and might be a bit late. Please don’t wait for me for lunch."

There was still a considerable distance from here to the club. To make it back to the Lin Family before lunch, she’d need a plane.

Lin Zongjun, of course, didn’t rush her, "No hurry, take your time. Remember to take your medicine. A cold may be minor, but don’t take it lightly."

Her body couldn’t handle much, especially when it came to catching colds or fevers.

She had been terrified when Lin Zongjun ran a fever on and off for several days due to a whip wound infection back then.

Lin Chu felt a twinge of sourness in her heart and replied softly, "Alright."

...

To avoid getting lost, Lin Chu focused intensely the whole way.

It wasn’t her first time getting lost in a familiar city, but today she didn’t want to call Jiang Muzhou or anyone else.

When her mind was foggy, her sense of direction seemed to improve.

Lin Chu successfully drove to the club.

Someone was waiting at the door. Seeing her get out of the car, they hurried over, "Madam, hello. Vice President Lu is resting in the room upstairs."

Lin Chu handed over the paper bag she held and said calmly, "Please give it to him or Miss Shen."

The manager looked a bit uncomfortable, "Um... I’m afraid it requires a few more steps from you, Madam. Vice President instructed that when the Lu Family’s employee delivered the clothes, they should come directly upstairs. There might be something else that needs returning to the company, but I’m not sure about the details."

With her previous temper, Lin Chu would have probably thrown the clothes over by now.

After entering the workplace, her temper was much polished.

Since she was already here, taking a few more steps didn’t matter.

The manager led Lin Chu to the room where Lu Mingchuan was and gave her the room card. However, Lin Chu didn’t take it. She wasn’t familiar enough with Lu Mingchuan to just open the door and walk in.

The guests consuming here were all wealthy members of high society. Although it hadn’t officially opened for business yet, invited guests had already come to experience it.

Close to lunchtime, most were in the restaurant.

The luxuriously decorated corridor was very quiet.

Lin Chu walked to the door and knocked lightly twice.

Lu Mingchuan was momentarily stunned when he saw Lin Chu at the door, seemingly not expecting her to be the one delivering the clothes.

He stepped aside, letting Lin Chu in with a gentle smile, "Xiao Liu is quite bold, daring to ask you to run errands for him."

The resting room prepared for Lu Mingchuan was, of course, top-notch—the most exclusive VIP suite, sunlit; winter’s warm sunlight cast a soft glow in the room.

Incense was burning in the room, with the high-class scent of wood.

Lin Chu placed the paper bag she was carrying on the table and said flatly, "I’m just a secretary, after all. This is what I usually do."

Lu Mingchuan brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Chu, "Sit for a while; it’s just about lunchtime. Eat before heading back."

Lin Chu, no matter who she ate with, wouldn’t join someone as unclear to her as Lu Mingchuan for a meal.

She accepted the tea but put it aside with no intention of staying longer, "Vice President, do you have any other instructions?"

When Lin Chu got out of the car, she left her scarf behind.

The smooth, slender swan neck inadvertently revealed suspicious marks.

Lu Mingchuan’s gaze naturally swept over, "The first-floor restaurant just started opening. If the picky Lin Family’s daughter is satisfied, I wouldn’t need to worry about guests being demanding. This is also work, not slacking off."

Running errands was Lin Chu’s limit, "Sorry, I’m not feeling up to it today."

Lu Mingchuan didn’t insist.

Pointing to the desk in the private area, he said to Lin Chu, "Then I won’t delay you any longer. Inside is a document already signed. Could you take it to the manager of the design department for me?"

The inner area was private territory.

Technically, he should hand over the document to Lin Chu, but since he didn’t want to move, Lin Chu couldn’t say anything.

After all, he was the elder of the Lu Family.

Lin Chu nodded and walked towards the inner area.

Lu Mingchuan seemed like someone meticulous, and there weren’t many men who burned incense in their rooms these days.

But... one cannot judge by appearances.

The desk cluttered with various items reminded Lin Chu of her table at home when she was still in high school.

Because there were so many things, Lin Chu moved cautiously, afraid of knocking over something important.

So, when Lu Mingchuan walked from the outer room to behind her, she didn’t notice at all.

"Xiao Chu, I’m sorry."

A low, helpless voice sounded in her ear.

It frightened Lin Chu, and before she could turn around, her mouth and nose were covered by someone. The person’s palm was padded with a handkerchief, avoiding direct touch, the force not strong but skillful.

Lin Chu instinctively began to struggle, and as if foreseeing her actions, the person from behind trapped her entirely against a warm chest that smelled of wood.

Her strength couldn’t budge her counterpart in the least, leaving nothing but scratch marks on their arm.

The "mmmh" sounds gradually faded, and her consciousness began to blur.

Ultimately, she lost consciousness in the man’s embrace.
