The two ladies glanced at each other and then Su Na picked up the mic. "We have been friends for a really long time. We have similar interests, went to the same school and university. When our friend saw our graduate draft proposal, he asked us to redo our proposal for their new corporate headquarter. That was how our career started." Not wanting to go into details, she gave the simplest answer.
"Hmm... and if I may ask - why have we not seen Miss Yu Sha appearing in interviews or events before?" CEO Lue Han asked.
Not expecting to be put in such a predicament, Su Na's mind went blank trying to think of a suitable excuse. All she knew was that Yu Sha's parents wished for her was to not make public appearances if possible.
Several excuses flashed through Su Na's mind and then she saw movement next to her. Yu Sha lifted the mic close to her chin and in a timid voice, she muttered, "I'm very shy at heart, so I don't do interviews and appear in public."
Upon hearing this, Su Na almost choked and Leo and Keo's jaw dropped down to the core of the earth. She did not embody anything related to shyness at all. When they first met her in her primary school year, she was beating four bully boys who were bigger than she was. She even made them kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. She was a ferocious beast and her ferociousness had only calmed down a tiny bit in the last couple of years.
No matter how shocked the twins and Su Na were, none could argue that it was probably the most reasonable excuse any of them could come up with. They bit their tongue and held in their shock for the time being.
After a few more rounds of questions, the two ladies went back and took their seats. The host acknowledged a few other groups and opened up for questions before dinner started.
Lue Han walked up to SNYS Consultant table, during the dinner time. "CEO Keo, how are you?" His hand reached out for a handshake.
Keo stood up and stretched out his hand to reciprocate the handshake. "Lue Han, thank you for your hospitality and getting us in last minute."
"Oh, no need for formality. Is there anything else any of you need?"
The other three shook their heads in denial.
"CEO Keo and Leo Herr, I didn't know, you two were close friends with the two young ladies?" Lue Han didn't hide his surprise rather made it clearly visible for them to acknowledge.
Leo put on a big smile. "We've been friends for a very long time."
Lue Han slowly moved his head. Leo's words helped to make a sense as to how the two students got their first job from Herr's Corporation. "Can we all have lunch tomorrow on the third floor of the deck? I would like us to just sit down, chat and get to know each other more without all these commotions and people."
"Sure, let's meet for lunch tomorrow," Keo agreed.
Lue Han's joy radiated through his wide smile. "Oh, one of my great colleagues will join us as well. I hope that is fine," he quickly added.
"Sure, no problem," Keo assured Lue Han.
Once everyone ate their dinner, the servers took away the dishes and wheeled in desserts and drinks. At that point, the guests walked around to meet new people and chat with old friends.
Su Na and Yu Sha met with the construction company that was going to do most of the labors and the other groups who would be in the project later on.
In the VIP room on the second floor, the prince's attention kept drifting somewhere. He kept stealing glimpses of the 'self-claimed shy woman.' Why did her eyes reflect such deep solitude from time to time?
Kao Sheng had been noticing it all along. She raised her glass to make a toast to grab his attention. "Prince, would you accompany me for lunch tomorrow?"
The prince briefly glanced at the wine glass in her hand and raised his glass to acknowledge her. "I'll have Butler Zeu come get you tomorrow."
Hearing that her prince will have another meal with her tomorrow made Kao Sheng ecstatic. She did not know what happened suddenly. The prince, who had never looked at any woman in the past, was now looking at her. She must have done some great deeds in the past to gain favors from the prince in that lifetime. Kao Sheng happily sipped her wine and thought of what she should wear for their lunch date.
After the party was over, the group walked back to Keo's room since he had the biggest room – a family suite with a nice big deck. The loud bunch planned on hanging out for a few more hours.
As soon as they got inside to the living room, Yu Sha could sense that something was off. The twins and Su Na were suddenly so quiet staring at her without moving an inch. She turned around to look at them, "Wha... what is wrong you guys?" She needed to know what their weird glances meant.
The moment she asked them, the twins and Su Na let loose. "PFF..hahahahaha..." They burst out laughing.
Leo rolled on the ground with his hand on his stomach and Su Na banged her hand on the couch as she couldn't suppress her laughter anymore.
"What? What?" Yu Sha had no clue about who cracked the joke and what it was.
Leo, who was on the ground stood up, hooked one of his arms around Yu Sha's neck, and the other messed with her head. "What's up with the 'I'm shy' you beast? Hahahaha…" He continued to laugh.
Angry, Yu Sha grabbed his wrist, quickly moved out of his hold to his side, and twisted his arms behind his back and kicked the back of his knee to make him kneel in submission.
"Ahhh! You beast!" Leo screamed. "Let me go, you beast!"
As it was happening, Keo went over to the fridge, took out four beer bottles and popped the caps before handing the beer bottles to the other three.
Yu Sha grabbed the bottle from Keo's hand and turned to Leo as she let him go. "You better, thank this beer bottle. It saved your life." She commanded before taking a gulp glaring at Leo.
