The surprise in President Ji's eyes did not escape Le Tong. She looked at the sweet potato in her hand, thinking nothing was amiss, "Yes, it's my breakfast."
President Ji looked at her thoughtfully, "Are you short of money?"
In his memory, his secretary seemed to be quite a simple person; he hadn't seen her use luxury goods much, nor had he noticed her pretending to be someone she's not to climb up the social ladder. Moreover, Special Assistant Yang had mentioned that she was an orphan, so besides herself, her money shouldn't have many other uses.
But why, recently, did he always feel she was quite short on cash?
"Uh, no! President, you're overthinking!" Le Tong hastily denied.
If she remembered correctly, this was the second time Ji Rui had asked her such a question. The first was when he caught her eating bread to stave off hunger while in his car to buy groceries.
Seeing Ji Rui still seemed unconvinced, Le Tong continued.
