"Haru...Where are we going?!?!" Ai jin huffed and crossed her arms in the car once again. Haru wasn't going to tell her anything but she kept bugging him with questions. "Just wait a little" He'd tell her each time she asked but she'd whine even more. A long time ago, whenever she'd annoy him with persistency, he'd tick off and yell but now, He's used to it. In fact, he actually finds it cute.
"we're here" He parked his car in the filled parking lot and opened the door for his wife to come out. Haru wasn't stressing his heavily pregnant wife for no reason, he wanted to sign a partnership with empire inc for his future baby. All he needed was her consent and signature on behalf of his unborn child.
He was pretty much excited about everything. It had been six months already. He'd been with her ever since. Not because he loved her but because she was his responsibility.
He walked hand in hand with her into the story building, and headed straight for the elevator that would open directly into Guiren's private office.
Guiren knew he was having visitors but his mind was occupied fully with what happened between himself and the woman he desired.
He shouldn't have but he couldn't help it. That little kiss meant a lot to him and he treasured their lip contact so much more than he'd treasured the date he had with other women.
He wasn't full of regrets, in fact, he fantasized more and more of it. His hands all over body, the beautiful sight of seeing her small frame underneath him as he prepares to launch into her. That's all he could do and ever do in his life, dream, and think it'll come true.
Haru made his way in with Ai Jin. He scanned the grey office, the floor to ceiling bookshelf and the amount of stacked paper works and a tin full of pens on the mahogany desk.
Guiren got up to greet his icon and his wife. He was so occupied that he didn't hear them knock. First impressions do matter a lot.
"Welcome Mr Yang and it's nice to meet your wife" He said as he pulled out a seat for the both of them then turned to bring out a folder with exactly what they came for.
"These are the papers on our partnership deal, I already have my signature on it, so the both of you just have to put down yours."
Haru turned to Ai Jin "For our baby and for you too" He gave her a genuine smile and warmth rushed through her body. She realised how much she got a sunburn from the ray of sunshine coming from that blossoming smile that showed his perfectly aligned teeth and his dimples.
She didn't hesitate to sign and as soon as she did Haru did the same too. Guiren gave the two a handshake and appreciated them for the joint partnership.
Haru whispered to Ai jin to leave for a little while, he wanted to discuss something private with Guiren and she did as she said. The door closed and the two men were left inside while Ai Jin walked forward to the staircase when she noticed a familiar figure.
"Meilin? Is that you?" She squinted eyes hoping it was somebody else. She just had to arrive at the wrong time. It seemed like she was going to drop off something in her boss's office.
Ai jin wasn't going to let that happen. She had to think of something fast. Meilin stopped in her tracks as her eyes lowered to the other woman's belly. 'So she really is pregnant?'
She also noticed the ring on her finger, the happily ever after really did happen. Meilin ignored her then moved forward but Ai jin drew her back to start with her drama.
"Ai jin please" She tried walking again but the lady blocked her way by stretching her arms out. Meilin was running out of patience, but she didn't want to loose any screws yet because she was pregnant. She respected the fact that Haru's child and possibly her daughter's half sibling was inside her womb and she's come a long way to have a bump that big.
"Ai Jin please, it's too early for this...why can't we just pretend like we don't know each other" Meilin attempted once again but it had the same result. She was already fed up with the toxic atmosphere she breathed in, all she wanted was to drop off her boss's daily report file and leave.
"Ai jin!!!" Ai jin stepped forward to the woman she hated and in the process, she lost balance and fell.
"Haru!!!" her body twirled and jerked as she fell down the stairs. Her husband's name was all she could blurt out as every part of her body hit each case and she felt her air supply cease from the impact until she hit the hard floor and everything darkened.
Haru rushed out, saw a scared Meilin. She was so lost in her state of shock and she couldn't make a rational decision at that moment and at the same time the man she had been avoiding finally saw her.
Guiren also rushed out as soon as he heard a heavy thud and screams from the unknown person that was in distress.
Haru put his reunion with Meilin aside as he proceed to check what she was looking at. Meilin stepped aside for Haru, her hands over her mouth as her eyes remained widened and her heart raced faster than she could ever imagine.
"Ai jin...Ai...Ai jin..." Haru ran to her, tripped a few times but didn't care. His wounded wife was all that was on his mind. She was knocked cold and bleeding from her head and her gown had blood stains.
"No...no...no...no" he turned to looked at both meilin and Guiren "Don't just stand there...do something! call the ambulance!" he yelled then turned his attention to his wife. He kissed her forehead and promised her that everything will be fine, he was sure of it. It had to be.
"Meilin..." She softly said as her hand slightly moved to meet her husband's "Meilin...pushed...me."
