Staring at the card, I read it over and over. He's already apologised for his inappropriate behaviour and look where that got me. I start wonder how he would know I am here, but then I remember him picking out Deng Tai Corp in my portfolio. It wouldn't take a lot of effort to find out about the launch date and figure out that I would be here. Hmm. He never going to give up, isn't he?
I place the flowers on the concierge desk.
'Here, Mi Ke. Let's pretty up all this black marble.' I say.
He looks up brieftly before returning to scratching his head, looking overwhelmed. I leave him to it, getting on with my walk through to ensure everything is in place and ready.
Yi Lan turns up at five, looking her usual immaculate self, all shorty hair,elegant and overdone.
'Sorry, I'm a bit late. The traffic was a nightmare and there nowhere to park. She gazes around.
'They're all reserved for guests. What can I do? I'm so excited!' she sings at me while stroking the walls of the penthouse.
' I'm all done. I just need you to do a walk through to make sure there's nothing I would missed.' I lead her into the main space.
'Oh my god, Wei Lin. It's amazing!' she exclaims.
'It's great, isn't it? I've never had such a colosal budget. It was fun spending so much of someone else money.' We giggle together.
'Have you seen the kitchen?' I ask.
'I've not seen it complete. I bet it's incredible.'
'It is, go and take a look. I'm going to get myself ready in the spa. I've done everything in the other apartments so concentrate up here. This is where the action will be. Make sure all of the cushions are plumped and in place If there anything you're not sure of, make a note. Okay?'
'Yes, mam,p+' she confirms, disappearing into the kitchen.
An hour later, after utilizing all of Deng Tai Fancy spa facilities, I am now ready. My dress is creaseless and my hair is properly behave. I take a little wander around, a little sad that this will be my last time here. It will be soon crowded with business people and high society so I make the most of my last opportunity to savour the sheer magnificence of the place. I still can't believe this is my work. I smile to myself as I stand in the colossal open space.
From folding doors lead to an L shape terrace with limestone paving, a decked area, sun lounge and a huge jacuzzi. There is a study room, dining room, a huge archway would leading into a ridiculously large kitchen and a back lit an onyx staircase that would rises to the four suite bedrooms and a massive luxurious master suite. Added the spa, fitness centre, swimming pool on the ground floor of the building are exclusive to the residents of Deng Tai Corp. Plus the penthouse stunningly boast its own gym so it impressive. So who ever's bought this place definitely likes the finer things and for a cool ten million they've got it.
I make my way back to the kitchen and find Yi Lan.
'All done,' she declares as she hoovers up a stray crumb on the marble worktop.
' Well let's drink,' I smirk and pick up two glasses of champagne, handing one to Yi Lan.
'Here's to you, Wei Lin. Stylish in body and in mind.' She giggles, raising her glass in a toast and we both swig then sigh.
'Wow! This is so good.' She exclaims.
' Cadel Bosco Cuvee Clementi of 1993. It's Italian, so of course, price hit up.' I raise my brow and Yi Lan giggles again.
I hear a chatter coming from the entrance hall so I wander out of the kitchen ,finding Fu Heng gawking like a goldfish and Xu Feng brother smiling proudly.
'Xiao Wei, this is some serious special darling!' Fu Heng runs at me and throwing his arms around my body. He pulls back, looking at me up and down. 'Honey, your dress, impressively very tight.' Haha
I wish I could say the same for Fu Heng, who wear colour clash to an extreme levels. I squint at his bright blue shirt and red tie combo. Gosh, he is unbelievable.
'Put the girl down,Fu Heng. You will crease her,' Xu Feng brother grumbles, gently shoving him aside and leaning to peck me on the cheek. I am very proud of you, Xiao Wei. You've done a marvellous job and between me and you,' he leans into my ears and whispers, 'The developers have hinted that they wanted you on board for their next project in new Shang Hai Park City.' He winks at me, his wrinkled face wrinkled further. ' Now where's the champagne?'
'This way.' I lead them to the huge kitchen, hearing more cooing from Fu Heng. The place very that special.
' Gan Bei!' I announce after handing them all a glass of champagne.
' Gan Bei!' They are all raise their glasses.
* Gan Bei means Cheers *
