Chapter 718 Still on vacation

He had had only taken a seat at the dining table when his phone rings from his pocket. He held his phone and seeing the name of the caller, he answers the call.

"Speak."

["Boss, it’s me."]

From the other line, Xu Long’s jolly voice sounds like he was having a great morning.

["I called to remind you about today’s important meeting with Manager He."]

Lu Tian doesn’t answer right away but puts the call on the speaker then set the phone down.

"Xu Long, are you calling because you don’t want to be on vacation anymore?"

["..."]

The line goes quiet for a long minute, but it was still connected.

["Heh... heh... what call? This is James Long Bond. Xu Long is still on vacation. Bye."]

The call ends leaving Lu Tian to shake his head. He doesn’t bother with his assistant weird behavior and continues to eat breakfast alone in the kitchen.

In the distance where Jade Condos stood, Xu Long who is oblivious to the situation his boss and lady boss had gone through sat on his bed. He tosses his phone aside and falls back to lay down as he stares up at the ceiling.

"Sheesh, how can he be so cold? All I wanted to do was to remind you about the important meeting."

He turns to lay on his side and stare at the huge window in his new bedroom.

"I want to enjoy my vacation, but I also want to go to work..."

Heaving a long and depressing sigh, he stares at the sky outside.

He couldn’t go back to sleep because he is too used to waking up early for work. However, what is supposed to do now?

Sighing again, he moves the blanket off of him and gets outs of bed. His exposed figure wearing only a black brief comes into view and he puts on a peach-colored robe but doesn’t secure it in place.

"What to do, what to do..."

He mumbles to himself then looks at the balcony door. Realizing he has never stepped out to the balcony since he moved in, he decides to go check it out.

"Oh my, what a beautiful view."

As he stepped outside, he yawns his words without any care about the world and stretches his arms far apart with his chest stuck out. In a great mood, he slightly bends forward to exercise and touches his toes with his left hand as his right-hand kept in midair.

His eyes glance to the right of him then he switches arms. However, realizing something, he froze in place.

He struggles a hard gulp that made his Adam’s apple bob and he slowly turns his head back to look at his right.

Sitting on a chair in the balcony next door to his, Zhao Ya’Er held a cup in one hand as her other hand was near her mouth. She was brushing her teeth but had stopped when she suddenly saw Xu Long.

Her expression was one of astonishment at the assistant���s yawning manners, yet, at the time she was amused. However, when her eyes lower a bit, she choked on her saliva at the sight of his partially exposed body.

"Ahhh--!"

A shrieking scream of a little girl’s voice sounds, but it was not from Zhao Ya’Er. It came from Xu Long. He quickly straightens his posture but covers his chest with one arm as the other covers his legs.

His scream carried on like he was hitting every high note in a song until he ran out of air and coughs. Without making another sound, he spins around and darts back inside his penthouse.

"..."

Zhao Ya’Er was struck speechless by what just happened. She spat into the cup she was holding and stares with a perplex expression at Xu Long’s balcony.

Why did he scream like that? Did she do something wrong?

Her eyes blinked a few times then she shrugs her shoulders and walks back to her penthouse. She had only come out here to brush her teeth and didn’t think she would see him.

However, the image of Xu Long’s body enters her mind again and she shakes her head.

"He has a very nice and toned figure. Too bad he swings the other way."

Oblivious to the woman who had seen him, Xu Long was in a frantic mess. He leaned against the door with his back and both his arms slightly spread at his side. It was like he was trying to keep an intruder from entering.

"Why... why... why..."

His chest heaved heavily at the shock and embarrassing situation that fell upon him. He squeezes his eyes shut and sobs without any tears.

"Why did she have to see me like this?"

He raises one hand to slap his forehead a few times and continues to cry. It is always him who encounters such bad luck with women.

"I haven’t even gotten the chance to explain the misunderstanding of my relationship with Lin Hui."

His eyes open with moisture and he stares up at the ceiling like he was looking at the heavens above.

"Why am I the only one who faces such embarrassment?"

He is the kind of person who likes to lounge around in his briefs on his days off. Of course, it wasn’t all the time.

However, if he could see into the future, he would have worn some clothes before stepping out onto the balcony or at least secured his robe in place.

It was already embarrassing enough that Zhao Ya’Er, who is way out of his league thinks he likes men. Now, she even got to see this unmanly side of him. What will she think?

He sobs again in sympathy for himself and tilts his head forward. Looking at his exposed upper body, he sighs again and slaps his toned abs.

"Well, on the bright side, my body didn’t embarrass me."

Taking a deep breath, he drags his legs to the lavatory to get ready for his day. He also didn’t forget to think of a way to explain all the misunderstandings to his pretty neighbor.
