"I apologize for overstepping my bounds," Jiang Ci said politely. "Is there anything else, Director Guo? I need to go to the restroom urgently."
Guo Zhen's face tightened, and he turned and left.
Jiang Ci watched his retreating figure, then turned around, her eyes filled with even more gloom.

"It will probably take another hour."
"I'm waiting for you."
