Making her way towards the canteen, Xiao Lienji sighted. She was one step closer towards her goal, but then why were her emotions so unstable. Suffocation filled her heart, but she wanted to get over with and leave.
'The canteen is so full today'
As her eyes traveled over to the table filled with food. Unknowingly her eyes lit up when her sight halted at a particular dish, ice cream, that was what she needed the most right now.
'Should I take one bowl or….' Xiao Lienji was so engrossed in her thought, that she could not see the figure of a man approaching her with curious eyes.
When Li Wei walked into the office today, most of the people were curious, only one of the Li was here. Making his way towards the canteen he could not help but remember the drama that unfolded at the Li Manson.
His father was extremely angry with both of them, while their mother tried to control their father's anger. But the most shaken one was Li Na, after hours of the encounter she was still shaking, spacing out, and occasionally crying. It was a heart-breaking screen to watch.
When the morning sun rose, the news from the company came informing them that their shares were dropping fast. They tried to contact Yan Julong but was unable to after an hour their company shares became stable and a bouquet of white cypress flower with a note arrived at their door. The sender was unknown.
'Hope this will not repeat again.'
The message was short and clear. They did not even have to think twice because the only person capable of such destruction at such a short time was none other than Yan Julong.
It was the start of the worst day, Li Wei decided to work hard and learn as much as possible. The best way to become powerful was to achieve it by one's own ability.
Determination flashed through his eyes, just as he walked through the door he saw a young lady dress modestly eyeing in a particular direction.
'She is truly unique.'
The lady walked towards the dessert table and was occasionally spacing out. A smile formed on Li Wei's face.
"Is this your lunch?" started with a voice coming from above her, Xiao Lienji eyes moved to the source of the disturbance. A smile formed on her face while she nodded.
Xiao Lienji's eyes were searching for something behind Li Wei and when she could not see the person she was looking for, she felt vexed.
"Is Li Na busy working?"
"She will be doing her internship at our company"
"oh..," turning her head Xiao Lienji was focused on her important task. Pouting she came to the conclusion. Two flavors it is. Taking a large cup to vanilla and chocolate she made her way to sit at a table to enjoy her few minutes to peace.
Being ignored, again and again, Li Wei felt irritated in her stomach.
'She did not even ask me if I wanted to have some."
Taking his food Li Wei took a place across Xiao Lienji. How can someone be so engrossed in food as if their life depended on it?
Completely unaware of the thoughts going on inside Li Wei, Xiao Lienji was focus on enjoying the cool sensation the ice cream gave her. The flavor merged inside her mouth, heightening the sensation of pleasure.
While in deep thoughts Xiao Lienji went through her plan in her mind. If she focuses on her work and ignores the irritating beast she might just survive.
Immediately as the lunch break was over, Xiao Lienji reported in the President's office but to her surprise, the beast did not trouble her.
Just like that, a few days past, apart from occasional trouble caused by Yan Julong, Xiao Lienji's days were relaxed. During this time, Xiao Lienji got to understand Yan Julong better.
He might be a cruel person often deemed heartless but towards his own people, he was the most considerate person. She still remembers yesterday's incident where Lui Cheng's phone rang when he was reporting to the President, he was informed that his mother fainted. Yan Julong canceled all his meetings and made his went to the hospital with Lui Cheng.
As an assistant Xiao Lienji had to follow them, the tension on Yan Julong's face was evident. Both the men did not sleep for a whole night, dark circles evident under their eyes. When Mother Lui was discharged, the relief on the eyes of both the men was evident.
Thus the days went by smoothly, but who knew something was brewing in the air that might disturb her peaceful life.
