Kai frowned upon seeing the lady that walked in behind Zayn.
As far as he could remember, it was not a woman that he was meeting. Furthermore, just like what he told Lianne, he didn't have women entering his office - other than his subordinates, of course. They were in to just give him reports or files.
He never had meetings with women in his office.
This was partly due to dispelling any rumours that may arise as to what 'truly' transpired in the office. After all, his persona was one that was flirty but if he was to be alone with any women in his office, they would be thinking he was doing other things and not just having a meeting.
That was also part of the reason why he never had any private room in the back. Having one of those 'infamous' CEO room that one would sleep in when working late or staying the night. With his reputation, one would definitely be thinking it was his 'sex' room.
He wanted to show an easy-going nature, not a sex-starved nature. Thus, anytime he had to work late, he would just sleep on the couch. It was enough.
Bringing his thoughts back to the woman in front of him, he was also reminded of the other reason why he never had any women in his office.
He just didn't like it.
It's his personal space.
His.
Well, now it's his and Lianne's.
Kai observed the demure bespectacled woman slightly behind Zayn.
She was looking sharp and professional, with her hair in a tight bun with slight tendrils curled loosely beside her oval face. She had on light make-up and no strong perfume. Kai noted that although she had on office attire, it did not diminish the rather sexy aura she seemed to give out.
Perhaps it's due to the fact that her outfit fit her snugly, showcasing her full assets well. The blazer was partially open, hence, one could see the breasts that seemed to be straining under the shirt, partly due to it being too tight across the chest and partly due to her having tucked her shirt tightly into her skirt.
Kai had no doubt that if she turned around, her perfectly round and firm butt must be showcased quite well indeed as well.
She exuded the perfect blend of innocence and sexiness.
Any hot-blooded male would be having all sorts of fantasies with such a woman in front of them.
Well, normally, that is.
Kai scoffed internally.
The one who had the perfect blend of innocence and sexiness was his Angel, and not this woman who had somehow managed to get in.
"Ms. Deanna Pattinson is here on behalf of Uber Tech," Zayn said, placing a folder on Zayn's table.
"Wasn't the appointment with Mr. Qin?" asked Kai with a raised eyebrow.
"Pardon me, Mr. Sheng," Deanna interjected, "Mr. Qin got down with a bad case of food poisoning last night and is currently in the hospital. I am Mr. Qin's assistant and have been with him regarding this proposal from the start, thus, am capable of dealing with today's matter."
Kai gave her a glance and then nodded, smiling at her, "Oh dear. I hope Mr. Qin is not too badly injured."
���He's recovering well," Deanna replied, "Thank you for your concern."
Kai looked at Zayn, "Please bring her to Conference Room 1. I'll be there in a bit."
"Ms. Deanna," Zayn said, indicating with his hand the way out, "If you please."
Deanna looked about in the office and asked, "Why not here, if I may be so bold to ask? I believe you always meet Mr. Qin here…"
Kai raised his head from the file he had been looking at after giving the instructions to Zayn, and said with a tilt of his head, "You're not Mr. Qin."
Zayn nodded, understanding.
The rule had always been that any woman he was meeting, would be in the Conference Room. Zayn had thought with Lianne here, the rule had been relaxed.
Obviously not.
Judging from the brief stern look from Kai, Zayn was going to get an earful later.
Deanna didn't know what to say in response to that, other than following Zayn out. Kai watched them go and once the door closed, he tapped the file on his desk.
His office had just been graced with the presence of his Angel and now, it had been marred by that unknown woman. Just thinking that another woman was in the same space his Angel had been or sitting on the same chair his Angel had sat on, just rubbed him the wrong way.
It repulsed him for some reason.
He made a mental note not to have any more meetings or discussions in his office - man, or woman. Other than Zayn and his secretaries, of course.
Perhaps it was time to make a room in the back after all.
That place could be where he and Lianne would have their cozy dates in the office … without a bed, of course. More like, a living room? Or have a sofa bed in case she did want to sleep while he worked…? The couch in the office was pretty good to sleep in though, as he had been using that all this while.
Kai shook his head to clear out the thoughts that were invading his brain at the moment, when he should be working.
He sighed.
He opened his drawer and lifted a secret panel hidden at the side. Taking out the slim device embedded there, he turned it in his palm. It was a rectangular black box, with a screen and two flashing lights. Or rather, bulbs that would flash if a certain event happened.
Right now, Kai noted with satisfaction that it was not blinking. Looks like Zayn passed the test this time.
If Zayn had made a call, this device would have captured it and one of the lights would be blinking red. The screen would show the number that Zayn called and if it was to any of the Shengs, it would be recorded.
Kai placed back the device and secured the secret panel again.
Well, this just showed that Zayn had not made any calls during lunchtime. Whether that was good, or not, still remains to be seen.
Zayn was good at what he did, but he was a ticking time-bomb.
Kai smirked.
Did they really think he'd trust anyone here?
