Ellen smiled mysteriously as he said, "I'll tell you soon~"
Song Xia's mouth twitched as she scoffed.
'I bet that guy doesn't even exist! There's no one who loves me. If anyone does, he's blind!'
Ellen shook his head looking at the girl's dejected face. 'Don't worry, Xia! You'll definitely find out sooner or later!'
Song Xia then asked, "Oh right, why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be in a very 'important' business meeting?"
Ellen replied with an extremely charming smile that could make every girl fall head over heels for him, "Of course, I'm here to accompany you."
Song Xia's heart skipped a beat and she blushed, hearing his mushy words.
Ellen was amused seeing her flushed cheeks and teased her.
"What? Did you expect me to say that? Of course I was here to have dinner with my business partners! It just happened that they picked this restaurant and we met! Don't you think this is such a crazy coincidence?"
Song Xia felt slightly disappointed and pouted her small lips. So, this dude was simply teasing her! She really got too ahead of herself..
Song Xia ignored him and elegantly sipped her black coffee, feeling slightly better. 'My coffee is my love..'
Ellen saw this and was speechless, he felt little guilty looking at her disappointed face. He was about to say something when his phone rang.
He glanced at the ID Caller and unhurriedly answered it, "Yes?"
The other end sounded scared and asked him, "Boss, where are you? CEO Tang and Miss Tang are starting to get impatient! Boss, before they cancel the collaboration, you-"
He was cut off by Ellen's cold yet amused voice. "So, you're trying to teach me what to do and what not to? Oh, if that's right then, you should come and take the position of CEO!"
Secretary Han gulped as he looked back at Mr. and Miss Tang, "I dare not, boss! But..."
He was again cut off, "Table no.5!" Ellen hung up immediately, leaving Secretary Han dumbfounded for some minutes, before he led the Tang father and daughter duo to Table No.5.
Meanwhile, on the Table no.5.
Song Xia felt a bit confused when Ellen got up and sat on the chair beside her.
Her cheeks reddened when her shoulder accidentally brushed against Ellen's and she quickly looked away.
Ellen's irritation from the phone call, instantly disappeared when he saw her cute behavior and he once again was in a very good mood.
Song Xia picked up her phone from the table and turned it on. She casually scrolled through the Weibo posts of others and suddenly received a message.
She realized it was from Fang Long, the man who stood her up, and frowned before tapping on it.
[Alice, I'm really sorry but I had to urgently return to China earlier. Something came up so I wasn't able to come to the date.]
Song Xia's expression eased up when she saw that he hadn't stood her up intentionally. She felt bad in the inside so she directly sent a message to him:
[It's okay.. Actually, to be honest, I was never really sincere towards being with you. I just wanted to move on from my past relationship. I just realized my mistake so I hope you will forgive me.]
Fang Long immediately replied:
[Oh, it's okay. Actually I don't mind, you know! We can go on another date in the future to bond over feelings and start anew.]
Song Xia's guilt rose in her heart as she typed:
[No, I've already thought it through. Let's break up. I'm sorry but I was never serious about dating you but now I'm feeling bad.]
Fang Long coaxed her:
[Oh if that's what you want, then let's do so. But I hope we can remain friends though. To be truthful, I also wanted to move on from my past, just like you. So both of us are even now.]
Song Xia smiled: [Okay, let's be friends then.]
When Ellen saw her cheery smile, he couldn't help but stretch his neck to see what she was looking at.
But before he could clearly see it, he heard a girly voice calling out to him, "Brother Ellen..."
Ellen narrowed his brows coldly as he looked up to see a beautiful girl who was 20 years old and a man in his forties.
The girl was none other than CEO Tang's spoiled daughter and she was dressed in an extremely pinkish dress.
Ellen frowned in displeasure when he saw her coming towards him.
She was just about to clung on Ellen's shoulder when her eyes landed on Song Xia who was beside him.
Her eyes were suddenly filled with jealousy and envy when she saw her extravagantly beautiful face.
Tang Lao, being the youngest daughter of the Tang Family, had never felt this much envy towards anyone since her birth.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth with hostility brimming in her eyes.
'How can she be so beautiful?! And she's even sitting next to Brother Ellen! How lucky she is!'
Song Xia raised her eyebrows as she exclaimed, "Brother Ellen? Who is your brother!"
She didn't know why but when she heard that coquettish voice calling out Ellen with that name, she was so disgusted that she wanted to puke blood!
