I was genuinely worried Xiao Linye would insist on going upstairs. If he did, I'd have to make arrangements, wouldn't I? And even though I've worked with everyone in the studio for so long and we have a certain tacit understanding, it's definitely not *that* terrifyingly profound!

Ye Yuning's hand trembled as she picked up her glass. Water spilled from it, splashing on the table and forming ripples.

"What you didn't want to tell me, she confessed herself."
"Do you have the authority to fire her?" Ye Yuning asked.
