The rest of my day was rather hectic. Apart from being busy with work, Xiao Lienji was also frustrated by making coffees. How much caffeine does that person need to drink?
Exhausted and frustrated, Xiao Lienji reported to Ye Mei before being dismissed. As she was walking towards the elevator, she saw Li Na and Li Wei making their way towards her.
Confusion clouded her face, 'They should report to their respective supervisors, before leaving, but are they here?'
"You guys are not leaving?"
"We were called up by Lui Cheng, we have something to discuss with President Yan, so you can leave first." Li Na said with a smile, her eyes twinkling as if she was about to eat a large piece of meat. They did not expect to be called, Yan Julong was not supposed to know their existence. Now that they were called it was unsure whether it was good or bad.
"Oh, then I'll be making my way out. Bye."
Just as Xiao Lienji was about to take a step forward, Lui Cheng caught hold of her.
"Miss Xiao, can I trouble you to make a cup of coffee before you leave?"
Even though he could see the killing instincts in the eyes of Xiao Lienji, he could do nothing. His boss found something that he became extremely fond of. He was asked to make a cup under the guidance of Xiao Lienji and have been troubling her all afternoon, affection for both of their work.
Every time he took a cup to his boss, Yan Julong would immediately be unsatisfied with his work and would ask Xiao Lienji to make a new cup for him and bring it to his cabin. Lui Cheng was very unsure whether his boss liked the taste of the coffee or the person preparing it.
One could not blame Lui Cheng to think like this. He personally saw his boss waiting in anticipation for the person. No matter what important work he has in his hand, Yan Julong will immediately keep it aside and look at Xiao Lienji with amusement, something he has never done before.
"I'm already off work, sir." Xiao Lienji was angry with her unreasonable boss.
"I can make one." Li Na offered. This was a chance to get closer to Yan Julong, Li Na wanted to cherish every opportunity presented to her. Without waiting for Lui Cheng's answer, Li Na started walking towards the pantry.
"Thanks, that would be great…." Xiao Lienji's voice died as the person in question was already invisible.
Shaking her head Xiao Lienji look at Lui Cheng with 'Sorry' written all over her face. "I'll take my leave then," and without taking a second she turned around and left in a hurry.
'I may be in trouble'
Lui Cheng knew his life becoming hell after tonight. He could not complete his given task.
"Please follow me." masking anxiety from his eyes, Lui Cheng turned his attention to Li Wei who was focused on the disappearing figure of Xiao Lienji.
Yan Julong was standing with his back facing the door. His eyes were looking beyond the glass window into the night sky. The buildings covered in lightning looks like sparkling diamonds on a velvet night canvas.
"Sir Li Wei is here."
"I thought there were two Li's." Yan Julong asked without turning around. After Xiao Lienji's first meet, he was curious about how there are three interns rather than two. As he looked through the information sheets he understood the reason for favoritism. The siblings were from the Li family.
Just on cue, Li Na entered the room after knocking. She could not detect the change in the air pressure surrounding Yan Julong, but Li Wei did.
"Who are you?" Yan Julong turned to look directly in Li Na's eyes. He could tell the person who entered was not Xiao Lienji but someone else. Having been trained in both military and underworld, he had keen senses. The noise made by the heels contained extra pressure and the footsteps were heavy compared to Xiao Lienji's light steps.
"I..I.." Li Na's heart stops when she looked into the set of bloodthirsty eyes. She used to admire them on photos and from afar, but with such proximity, she could not help but be scared.
"She is Li Na." Lui Cheng said, he knew this was his dying day today.
Looking at the cup on the table, Yan Julong gave a sarcastic smile. He took the cup in his hand and smelled it. He looks straight towards Li Na who was still rooted near his table and took a sip.
Li Na could hear her heartbeats. 'Did he like it? He should like it, right? Everyone says I make wonderful coffee.' She looked at Yan Julong with hopeful eyes.
Li Wei was observing everything as they were near the sitting arrangement. He could tell there was something seriously wrong with the way Yan Julong was behaving.
Just as he was about to call Li Na back, he saw Yan Julong looking straight towards Lui Cheng. Without a word, the cup was thrown near Li Na's leg. All the color from her face was drained. Li Na was shivering with her eyes turning red, tears were formed in the corner of her eyes.
Lui Cheng was the same, his task of getting the coffee done by Xiao Lienji, but he failed his job miserably. That too a fairly simple job. Not only that, but he also made his boss extremely angry.
"It tastes like rotten fish." Yan Julong did not care about the girl who was still crying and walked passed her towards the two gentlemen.
Taking a seat on the sofa, Yan Julian crossed his leg and waited for either of them to talk.
"I am sorry, Sir," it was his mistake to make Yan Julong taste something like this, he would take full responsibility.
"Extra training for two days."
Lui Cheng shivered. This type of training was not ordinary. Yan Julong turned towards Li Wei with the composed look. "I didn't know there were three interns this year."
The sentence was sufficient for the Li siblings to turn pale.
