Chapter 158: Kneeling
Athena stood outside Miss Situ’s restaurant. The waiter, seeing she was the hotel’s Chief Assistant, immediately opened the door enthusiastically and welcomed her in.
Athena’s expression was not good, and her tone was not very pleasant as she asked, “Is Miss Situ here? I need to see her about something!”
The waiter respectfully nodded, “Yes, Chief Assistant, please come this way!” Seeing Athena’s face, the waiter dared not say an extra word.
Athena followed the waiter to Miss Situ’s office. A secretary was sitting outside the door. After being announced, she tightly clenched her fists and opened the door to walk in alone, still feeling uncertain!
Situ Jingyi was wearing a sky-blue dress today and was currently browsing food options. The restaurant’s Head Chef was also present, but after the hotel fire, the Head Chef had been replaced.
The Head Chef was about to leave but was stopped by Situ Jingyi: “It’s fine, just wait nearby, it will be quick!”
The Head Chef sat awkwardly, not moving.
Athena was led by Situ Jingyi to a reception room nearby. Through a beaded curtain, everything could still be vaguely seen!
Situ Jingyi sat regally on the sofa, looking at Athena with interest and asking, “May I ask what the Chief Assistant needs me for!?”
Athena mustered great courage before saying, “Please save the Chairman. Only Director Situ can save him!”
Situ Jingyi frowned, then questioned, “The Chief Assistant seems very concerned about the Chairman’s affairs? Could it be that the Chief Assistant likes the Chairman!?” A woman’s intuition is never wrong! She was certain Athena and Ji Xiangyu had something going on, and the most likely guess was that Athena liked Ji Xiangyu.
Situ Jingyi replied dismissively, “What ability do I have, and what ability does my Dad have? Besides, if Yu is in trouble, as his publicly acknowledged girlfriend, how could I stand by and do nothing? If I had a way, I naturally wouldn’t need you to tell me; I would do my best to save Yu! If the Ji Family cannot resolve this, how could our Situ Family possibly do so!”
Athena fell into thought. Situ Jingyi continued, “All spears are pointed at Yu. Even the surveillance cameras clearly recorded him stamping the seal himself, so some things cannot be covered up by one person. Wake up, Athena! Do you feel so reluctant for Yu to suffer any grievance because he is the hotel’s Chairman!? Or is it because if Yu is sad, you, Athena, are even sadder?!”
Athena looked up helplessly, “Yes, I would be sad! Miss Situ, haven’t you always deeply loved the Chairman? Why are you standing by and watching?”
Situ Jingyi stood up and looked at Athena with disgust, “Miss Athena, please leave. We have other matters to attend to!”
Athena stepped forward and fiercely grabbed Situ Jingyi’s arm, her tone cold, “I beg you, you must save the Chairman. He cannot have an accident. After finally stabilizing, he’s now being targeted again. Are you, Miss Situ, just going to stand by and do nothing? Is this still love?”
Situ Jingyi was enraged by Athena and forcefully flung Athena away. Athena almost fell to the ground but managed to steady herself. She couldn’t fall; Ji Xiangyu couldn’t have an accident.
Situ Jingyi pointed at Athena and sneered, “With such a terrible attitude, you still expect me to agree to your request? Unless you kneel down and beg me, don’t even dream about it, humph~~~~”
Situ Jingyi, who had intended to maintain a ladylike image in front of the Head Chef, was now completely infuriated by Athena!
After hearing Situ Jingyi’s words, Athena’s heart ached. If kneeling could save Ji Xiangyu, then so be it. Kneeling was a trivial matter. She looked at Situ Jingyi sadly and said, “Alright, I’ll kneel, as long as you promise to save Ji Xiangyu!”
With a thud, Athena knelt heavily on the ground and said sincerely, “Please~~~~~”
Situ Jingyi had spoken in anger, but she never expected Athena to actually kneel before her for Ji Xiangyu. She looked at Athena in surprise, momentarily speechless.
The next moment, the office door was violently pushed open. Situ Jingyi’s secretary said with difficulty, “General Manager, you can’t barge in!”
But it was all useless, because Andrei had already walked up to Situ Jingyi like an enraged lion. Seeing Athena kneeling on the ground, he glared at Situ Jingyi with hatred, his chest filled with anger that had nowhere to go. His hands twitched, wanting to deliver a hard slap to Situ Jingyi’s face.
However, reason told him not to act impulsively; impulse was the devil!
So, in the end, he pulled Athena up from the ground. Athena refused to get up, saying, “No, I must save the Chairman!”
Andrei comforted her, “He’s fine. He can come home tonight. Can you get up now!?”
Athena immediately stood up, looking at Situ Jingyi with resentment, and said dismissively, “You don’t deserve to like Ji Xiangyu, you wicked woman!”
Situ Jingyi raised her hand to slap Athena, but Andrei blocked it.
Andrei said coldly, “Don’t lay a hand on my person in front of me. I can’t guarantee I won’t retaliate in kind!”
Situ Jingyi trembled with anger as she watched Andrei and Athena leave, her heart burning with various fires. You just wait and see!
