The chief hung up without giving Han Jiajia a chance to respond, leaving her stunned and alone in her car.
Several minutes passed before she finally came to her senses.
"Ugh! I waited two hours for nothing!" she fumed. "If I had known this was going to happen, I would've just slept in and made a token appearance! Damn it!"
By now, she was grinding her teeth in anger.
Seeing her so upset, Liu Ergou tried to comfort her. "Hey, Jia Jia, it's alright. You're not a psychic. How could you have known he wouldn't show up today? It's no big deal."
"Why don't you just take the day off? I can take you out this afternoon. How about some shopping?"
Han Jiajia, who had been looking dejected, instantly perked up at his words.
"Oh? Are you serious?" she asked, looking at Liu Ergou with excitement.
Liu Ergou nodded vigorously. "Of course. What's there to be serious about? It's just shopping. Let's go. But first, let's get some lunch. You haven't eaten anything this morning!"
