She agreed Long Xhen thought. He sat at his large oak desk in his office. The previous night. After he had let go of Aian's shoulder and both of them had taken a seat. He had explained the misunderstanding the previous day. After she nodded in acknowledgement Long Xhen paused. He had contemplated stating his purpose for looking for someone but eventually did.
"I agree, i am currently working with a company now so i will discuss the terms.... tomorrow after i get off work"
Long Xhen had only heard those words. As she started speaking he couldn't help the feeling that he had met her before. As he thought about meeting her again later in the day he felt an increase in the pace of his heart beat. Seeing Tu Pao walk into his office Long Xhen coughed lightly as if somehow coughing out would steady his racing heart. Long Xhen frowned. What was wrong with this organ lately?
Tu Pao looked at his boss in confusion. why did he suddenly start coughing? as Tu Pao was about to rush out and get a bottle of water. That bone chilling voice froze him in place.
"What? "
suddenly Tu Pao remembered why he was here. Long Xhen was supposed to go back home the morning of the following day. Long Xhen had only been staying at that apartment as he had things to do in this city. Now that he had finished up business here it was time for them to leave as scheduled. The only problem was that Long Xhen wanted to find that woman and He had not yet found her.
Tu Pao Stuttered "I ....I came to confirm, are you still going to leave the city as scheduled earlier"
A complicated look passed through Long Xhen's eyes. It only lasted a second. He nodded and let out a cold reply. "mhm"
Long Xhen looked at Tu Pao who seemed to be frozen in place and shot him an icy glance.
Tu Pao caught the look on his bosses face. He had worked with Long Xhen for a long time now and had still not gotten used to the iciness that this man exuded. Tu Pao sighed internally. What, would that handsome face be destroyed if he smiled?
Of course he didn't dare say that out loud. He said instead. "It's just that... that woman. I haven't found her yet"
"I have already found her" Long Xhen said icily. After which he watched Tu Pao hurry out of the office as if he was about to get grilled, he even almost collided with the door on his way out. This...
Long Xhen used his long slender fingers to smoothen his furrowed brows. He didn't have time to think of Tu Pao's punishment now anyway. That woman came into his mind. Earlier he had wanted to tell Tu Pao to pause the arrangements so he could stay a little longer but had stopped himself. what was he thinking? he only needed tonight to talk to her and the next day he would be back home since he was done with business here. He couldn't be thinking of spending more time with her right? it was Strictly business after all...
