Gu Xiaoer arrived at the Shenghan Center Building. With each step, her pace slowed ever more.
Her heart was filled with trepidation, a feeling akin to stage fright.
As the elevator ascended, many people saw Gu Xiaoer and showed expressions of amazement, as if her presence was something inconceivable.
Gu Xiaoer offered an awkward smile, guessing that by now, everyone probably knew she was at odds with the CEO.

Awesome, she hadn't been spotted!
Gu Xiaoer felt elated at her successful first hurdle.
