Fancy Me, Professor!

Chapter 155 - Couldn't Get Something Off Your Mind

[ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm sorry—but will only be posting 1 long chapter today for Fancy Me, Professor! Work had texted me earlier and I have to prepare for the needed documents since I'll start getting busy by July. I hope you guys understand!]

***

Wang Lei put his phone down after he had texted Pan An that they'd meet up. With him sighing as he ran his hand through his hair, he was eager to actually wait for work today to end so he could relax.

The thing that's making Wang Lei insane is the fact that he is swamped with work and his mind is going elsewhere. He usually can get it done since he prefers working under pressure—being forced to do it in one go.

However, every time he would finish a document, the thought of Yu Yan kept lingering in his thoughts even though she is also busy attending meetings and also summarizing the other documents for him.

Wang Lei stood up from his swivel chair. When he walked towards the window, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked beyond it, making him sigh once more as he now thought to himself.

'I don't get why I'm thinking of Yu Yan so much,' he contemplated, blankly staring at the view outside. 'By this time, I would have been looking for women that I'd fancy and fool around but seemingly enough, I'm not having the energy and interest to do it anymore.'

Wang Lei rolled his eyes. With him sitting down on the leather chair, he wanted to try again if someone would indeed get his fancy, opening his Weibo to see the pretty ladies who are following him.

He saw some artists, some singers, some renowned female gamers, too! However, none of them got his attention even though some of them sent private messages to him of their suggestive photos, too!

Wang Lei furrowed his brows, throwing his phone to the side as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

He found himself stupid to think that this is such a big problem—when this should be a problem of a person who's desperate to have a love life.

Wang Lei knew that he's a successful and handsome guy. He could get any woman that he wants if he wanted to! But then, with him suddenly losing the interest, why would he suddenly get frustrated about it?

Is it because he already got used to having "affairs" every month and now that he's not involved with anyone; he found it unusual for him to be inactive?

'This… this seems like a stupid reason no matter what angle you look at it.'

Suddenly, Wang Lei heard a knock on the door. With the door opening and now closing, it showed Yu Yan already holding a cup of coffee, a small smile on her face as she walked towards the coffee table to put down his drink.

Wang Lei's eyes landed on her. As Yu Yan clasped her hands together, she greeted and spoke to him, further getting her boss' attention.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Wang Lei. I already sorted the documents according to importance. Also, I have placed sticky notes on it about the information shared in the meeting that should be taken into consideration before you finalize on signing it," she informed, making the CEO nod.

"Alright. Thank you, Yu Yan."

With Yu Yan giving him a small bow, she was about to leave the room when suddenly, Wang Lei called out to her.

"Wait… are you already leaving?"

Yu Yan blinked her eyes a few times. With a nod, she slightly furrowed her brows, confused by their boss' little display of surprise.

"Erm… yes. You did tell me that I would be leaving an hour earlier than my usual time-out, yes?"

"Oh… right, right…"

Wang Lei closed his eyes, realizing that he had forgotten changing his secretary's schedule. With a wave of his hand, he gestured for her to carry on with what she was about to do, actually making Yu Yan worry.

"Is everything alright, Mr. Wang Lei?"

When Yu Yan asked this, Wang Lei opened his eyes to look at her. The moment their eyes locked, Yu Yan was unfazed by the glare—as if she was already used to him acting this way.

"Nothing," Wang Lei said flatly, forcing out a smile so Yu Yan won't further question him and won't further stay in the room. "Go. Your son might be waiting for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang Lei," Yu Yan replied, a brighter smile now plastered on her face. "I'd be going and will be arriving at work tomorrow earlier than usual."

Without saying anything, the secretary already left the room. The moment he was left alone, Wang Lei let out another sigh, his head now tipping up as he stared at the office ceiling.

"What's up with you, Wang Lei?" the CEO spoke to himself, obviously not liking how he's acting recently. "You just handled the issue of your secretary and helped her. Why can't you get her out of your mind since then?"

Not wanting to not do anything (and also, not wanting to do his other remaining documents left on his table), he decided to have an earlier time out today, too, thinking if he should pick up his little sister and then dropping her off by their house before he would go out for dinner with Pan An.

As he stood up from the couch, he called his sister's number, aware of her schedule since she also sent it to him for future reference. Wang Lei knows that 4 PM - 5 PM is her last class, so since it's almost 5 PM, he thought if he'd immediately pick her up.

The moment the call connected, Shi Lian immediately spoke, not even greeting him hi.

"What do you want?"

Wang Lei narrowed his eyes, not liking the tone of his sister.

"Watch your tone. It's as if I disturbed you when I know that your class ended."

Even without seeing his little sister, he knew her too well to know that she may be rolling her eyes at him. With a sigh heard at the other end of the line, Wang Lei spoke again, surprising Shi Lian with his suggestion.

"Since your classes ended, want me to pick you up and drop you at home? I'll be having dinner with Pan An later afterwards."

"Hmm…"

Both of them were pretty close since they were children. When Wang Lei heard his sister let out a small laugh, he furrowed his brows together when he heard what Shi Lian had asked him.

"What's up with you? Couldn't get something off your mind?"

Wang Lei didn't answer her for a while. With another laugh coming from Shi Lian, she spoke again, further explaining what she noticed.

"I know you. If you couldn't get your mind off of something, you do something other than paper works just so you can't think about it. You'd like to get yourself busy on other things besides work."

Wang Lei couldn't help but grin. With his sister understanding him pretty well, he reiterated his intentions.

"If you know this, then what's your answer? Will I come to pick you up or not?"

Shi Lian chuckled again, saying her answer to her older brother.

"Fine. Pick me up. Let's go on a drive thru, too, please! I'd like to have fries and something to drink. We can have a short chat about what's worrying you, too, if you want!"

With Wang Lei's smile not leaving his face, he actually liked the idea, already ending the call as he quickly made his way to his car so he could pick up his little sister.
