Zhao Xue sat in her office, restless and uneasy. She didn't dare contact Zhang Long for fear of being berated.
After much deliberation, she grabbed her bag and hurried out, purchasing a pile of expensive gifts. She caught up with Lin Qin as she was leaving work and offered an apology.
"Director Lin, I’ve given some serious thought to what happened recently. You were right—it really had nothing to do with me. I was meddling where I didn't belong and didn't know what was good for me. Director Zhao even criticized me for it yesterday. I’ve reflected on it deeply, and I hope that, for the sake of our time as colleagues, you won’t hold this against me."
