She got out of bed, put on her slippers, walked to the side, turned on the control panel, pressed the button, and the curtains slowly opened.

The sky outside the window was gloomy, with an atmosphere of impending storm.

Looking down from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the wind was whipping the branches of the trees violently through the garden, and the swirling air currents could be faintly seen above the lawn.

Even through the glass, she could feel the chill outside; it seemed the temperature had dropped today.

The central air conditioning at Ocean International always keeps the temperature around 25 degrees Celsius, creating a significant temperature difference between indoors and outdoors.

Qin Suisui was just thinking about getting dressed for work when she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have given her car keys to her senior brother Huo yesterday.

She glanced down at the time; it was almost 8:30. She figured it wouldn't bother her at this hour.

She dialed her senior brother Huo's number, and the call was answered as soon as the music started playing.

"Senior Brother Huo! I am Qin Suisui."

"I know!"

The male voice at the other end of the microphone was husky and sexy, like a cup of coffee in a warm winter, with a subtle richness.

"Wait for me in the underground parking garage in twenty minutes."

His speech remained brief and clear.

Qin Suisui hummed in agreement and then hung up the phone.

She quickly went to the dressing room, picked and chose, and finally selected a beige short wool coat, paired with a pair of straight-sewn gray slim-fit trousers and a pair of slender black mid-heeled leather shoes.

She looked at her own clean, bright, and radiant reflection in the mirror, a slight smile playing on her lips. She casually tossed her hair with her fingers until it naturally became fluffy.

Qin Suisui casually picked out a handbag in a similar color scheme, turned around and left the house.

As I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Senior Brother Huo leaning against the front of the car, his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

From Qin Suisui's perspective, the man standing to the side appeared taller and more slender, with broad shoulders and narrow hips. His well-fitting trousers made his buttocks appear firm and slightly upturned, and his waist was lean. Even when he was standing casually, she could feel the power contained in his taut legs.

"Good morning, Junior Sister Qin!"

Huo Zhongyuan's voice interrupted her reverie.

"Good morning, Senior Brother Huo!"

Qin Suisui's voice was somewhat tense, with a sense of shame at being caught spying.
