" Xiao Mei chose her to be the next head secretary " said Luo Xi placing the resume that Xiao Mei has chosen in front of Luo Ting .
Luo Ting looked up and took the resume , skimming through it without the slightest bit of interest ..As expected of Xiao Mei , chuckling inwardly he threw the resume aside . The woman was beautiful, talented and well educated there were no points on the basis of which he could refuse to hire her .
" She sure does her job perfectly " said Luo Ting with a bitter smile leaning on the table with his fingers clasped together , resting his chin on them " to think she will resign and hire a new head secretary in just a day , its as if she had long prepared herself for this "
Luo Xi pursued her lips , she wanted to console her brother but at the moment she couldn't bring herself to do so . What was she supposed to say ? That everything will be fine . But how ? from Xiao Mei 's attitude it was clear that she no longer loved her brother , infact she seemed a bit disgusted by his presence .
" Think it like this , Brother Ting " said Luo Xi tapping on Luo Ting's table with her well manicured nails " Xiao Mei chose the best out of the best to be your head secretary , maybe she wanted you to be at ease with her absence . This action of her's can still be taken as her care for you "
Luo Ting looked down , feeling as if there was a weight of thousand jun on his back but he still reached out and picked the photo frame that was placed on the corner of his table . The glass of the photo frame had a crack , that inauspiciously clawed between the two people who standing next to each other .
It was him and Xiao Mei , with his arm around her waist and her eyes gazing at him with warmth and love .
When did these love filled eyes turned silent and unmoving ? Looking at him with indifference.
Luo Ting lowered his eyes , trailing the traces of Xiao Mei 's smile with his finger . This smile once belonged to him , it was all for him but now it wasn't - Luo Ting wanted to bring the person in his arms and kiss all her pain away , he wanted to apologise but he couldn't because his woman was no longer waiting for him to come and say ' I'm sorry ' , maybe even if he said it , she wouldn't care about it .
" You are right , maybe she still cares for me " agreed Luo Ting his voice low and hoarse as he bowed his head and kissed the frame ignoring the slight ting of pain when the broken glass skimmed over his lip drawing blood and laughed lightly, surprised over how easily he trusted this sweet lie.

If Xiao Mei knew what Luo Ting was thinking she would have smacked him right down to the floor , she of all people hated those who lost themselves in delusions especially delusions that concerned her . If she knew that Luo Ting has taken her action of appointing Su Wan as her ' care 'she would have carefully explained him all about this 'care ' of her and would have heartlessly broke all his delusions .
After all her decision to appoint Su Wan had nothing to do with Luo Ting , firstly she had no feelings for him if there was anything she felt for him it will be point blank rejection . Thus , she carefully decided to bring Su Wan , the female lead of the book and delivered her right to the male lead where she belonged .
Secondly, she had no intention to be with Luo Ting as they were two peas in a pod . Both of them had the same cold and indifferent personality , can you even imagine two air conditioners going on a date ? They might as well freeze the entire surroundings with their chilling aura !
Finally , according to her examination of the situation it was appropriate time for Su Wan appearance and make the male lead fall for her with her charming , sunny and happy attitude .
After all opposites attracts don't they?
All in all she had never once thought about Luo Ting , while hiring Su Wan as the head secretary , so where did this care come from?
Unfortunately, Xiao Mei knew nothing about Luo Ting 's inner monologue and even if she knew about it , she was too entangled in her own mess to care about him .
Listening to the shrill screaming that penetrated the sound proof walls of her room , Xiao Mei knew that the trouble has finally walked right up to her door . She was neither surprised nor shocked when the door to her office room, banged open and came in a person she least liked to meet but knew that with her promotion she soon has to meet this person .
