During a boring company meeting, Yan Chu, a part-time writer, let her mind wander as she planned the next chapter of her serial novel.
Three minutes later, she searched online for how to obtain a death certificate.
Unfortunately, she had forgotten to turn off screen sharing.
Everyone at the company found out that someone in her family had died.
Shen Huai, who had been discussing next quarter's goals and marketing strategy, paused for a moment before asking, "Who in your family passed away?"
Yan Chu steeled herself and replied, "My fiance."
And just like that, Yan Chu got three days of bereavement leave.
On the last day of her break, Yan Chu's mother dragged her off to a blind date.
As luck would have it, her date was Shen Huai, the man who had approved her bereavement leave.
Feeling guilty, Yan Chu waved to greet him.
Shen Huai glanced at her and calmly took a sip of coffee. "Did your fiance die of natural causes, Miss Yan?"
