"So sorry about everything, I never planned for this to happen " Fang apologized to the young man she had accidentally bumped into out of hasty motion.
She had been given an urgent call by her boss's younger brother Li Jun regarding an emergency that came up at the office which he needed Fang to handle. Even though she was not supposed to be at work that very day being a weekend.
At first, she wasn't happy when Li jun told her to show up at the office, but as soon as she learned it was something important that demanded her presence, plus she was told she was the right person at that point in time to provide a possible solution to the situation.
Fang was left with no option than to let it be the way it was ought to be.
" You are sorry? You don't have to be, you haven't done anything wrong yet." The young man responded to her apology.
He was heading towards the same direction as Fang. He had been standing at that spot Fang bumped into him, just while he was about moving out of there, fang came into the picture.
" Really? alright. I was actually heading somewhere before this incidence. Am still very sorry." She apologized again, but this time around without waiting for the young man's reply. She got into a taxi that had earlier stopped in front of them both even when none of them hailed it.
Fang supposed the taxi driver had suspected they needed a taxi that was why he had stopped.
Fang happened to be the only one that entered the taxi, the guy she bumped into didn't enter with her.
Right inside the taxi, she tried calling Li Jun to tell him she was already on her way to the office, unfortunately, his number wasn't connecting.
she tried again for the fifth time, it was still not connecting. She became worried, the thought of getting to the hotel where she worked and not seeing Li Jun saddened her mood. Fang was quite busy with her phone still trying to reach Li jun, she didn't take note of the route the taxi driver was taking her through after all she never mentioned her destination, and the taxi driver never bothered to ask her where she was heading to.
The taxi stopped her in front of a storey building that stood magnificently and looked somewhat like an office.
" We are here miss" The taxi driver finally uttered. This was the first time he was talking to Fang since she got into his taxi.
"We are where?" Fang asked after raising her head to see a very beautiful building right in front of them while still in the taxi. She could not believe what she was seeing, she looked at the driver through the front mirror in between the driver's and passenger's front seat.
She was shocked as to what she was seeing. She was not a bit familiar with the place she had been taken to. What shocked her the most was the fact that she never mentioned any office of such to the taxi driver.
"Where are we?" She asked the second question, even when the answer to the first one had not been given. Although the driver had again failed to answer her second question.
" I believe am talking to a human being, Where are we? Is this the place I initially asked you to take me to?!"
" Miss you never told me your destination, besides I thought I was driving on the right route since you didn't say anything while I drive this lane, so..." Fang Cut him off
"Shut up! I didn't tell you where I was going and you didn't bother to ask?" She responded angrily.
Just as she was still talking, a lady dressed in office wear looking all smart and beautiful suddenly opened the door signaling Fang to come out of the taxi."
Again, this seemed to her like a planned work. She got out of the car, and now she could vividly see the inscription " The Li Corporation" boldly written on the third-floor wall of the building. At first, it never came to her mind that, that could probably be her ex-boyfriend's family corporation.
"I am Wu Rong, P.A to president Wei" The lady introduced herself to Fang smiling at her as well.
Now Fang had gotten a clearer picture of what was going on, especially as the taxi drove off as soon as she got out of the car. Her ex-boyfriend had asked the taxi to go pick her up and Fang was clueless about it all before now.
Li Wei had made his financial secretary made that call of wanting Fang at her workplace claiming that there was an emergency at the office. and claiming to be Li Jun, her boss's younger brother.
Since she hadn't really talked with Li Jun over the phone many times, it was not that easy to fathom his voice over the phone.
"You are Li Wei's P.A?" She asked all surprised.
"Yes, and my boss is in his office waiting to have a word with you."
Without spending a minute longer with Wu Rong, Fang asked her to lead the way to Li Wei's office of which she did.
*********
"Wow, look who we have here, you know what I never thought you would come but here you are now," Wei said grinning at her.
"Why did you have to do what you did?.. you're still this mean, I didn't expect you to change any time soon though. So tell me, why did you bring me here through one of your cunning ways?
" Cunning you see it as, but it's not really cunning. it was just a simple masterminded strategic method put into bringing you here. It's all good you are here now, so how have you been coping?" He feigned concern.
"Can you just stop all this pretense and tell me why you implored your so-called masterminded strategy into bringing me here!?" she fired at Li Wei.
This time around she was seriously angry, If she had a witch power, with the height of hatred she now has for Wei she could possibly make her end his stay on earth.
"You're such a good looker this morning, you could make a super Miss Li Cooperation" He complimented her beauty In a sarcastic manner.
"You know what, you are still as foolish as the very day I knew you. God! what did I ever see in you? I must have been bewitched"
"Well, you are kind of correct you know, you were actually bewitched with so much love my dear, you got carried away by good looks.
You fell in love with me and am sure you're still in love with me" He Sniggered Wickedly.
She rolled her eyes at him if a mere look could kill Li Wei could have been dead by now. But no, Fang could not murder him with her eyes.
" Weird" She muttered.
She was trying to control her anger but it seemed like Li Wei was trying to make her lose it all on him. It will be very bad and way too foolishly of her if she acts the way he was pushing her into, seeing that she was in his office and not anywhere else.
"Oh, Weird right? is alright. I actually wanted you here to discuss something very important with you that would change your life forever."
After talking, he waited for Fang's reply and when he didn't get any from her, he went further.
"Or better still, I have a big plan for you if only you would want to grab it and thank me later after everything."
"Wei! you and I know too well that you never wanted anything good for me, what has changed now? or what are you up to?"
"Hey! is that what you think of me? "
"Wei, I am not interested, take your help elsewhere," She said in a harsh tone.
You haven't even listened to what I have for you. Okay, here comes my plan for you. First, I would want you to stop working in that hotel, then I help you with some amount of money to establish yourself. What do you think?"
"I can see you are going senile, I should quit my job because of your stupid offer to help me? Did I ever tell you I needed your help? I am in need of a financial assistant I know where exactly to go for it not you Wei.
There are a lot of people out there seeking financial assistance, do well to help them.
I won't accept a financial offer from you that you never offered when we were still dating."
"Fang, I know I never offered to help you then, I just realized I never did anything for you, so I thought to myself that it was not too late to do what ought to have been done before now. I'm really sorry, mind you, am not trying to do this because I want you back I just think it is the right thing to do. You are a good lady, and you deserve the best, I never came back for you because I know I was not good enough for you, you deserve someone better than myself."
Li Wei had always wanted Wang Fang to stop working at the hotel, he was of the belief that most girls that worked in a hotel have prominent customers who have their way with them. In fact, that had contributed to why he never trusted Fang. But never had it occurred to him that he was supposed to have at least offer to get her another means of livelihood before she quite her present job.
all along, Wang Fang had expected Wei to say something like he had just said now when they were still together. Even if not to help her with everything, at least nothing was too small.
To be fair, Wang Fang still needed help from Wei but pride had not allowed her to accept what she needed most.
"If this is the reason why you asked the taxi driver to bring me here, fine, but I don't need your help. Meanwhile, I have to start going now."
"Hold on, why not think about the offer and get back to me?"
"There is nothing to think about Wei, I love my job, even if I have to quit my job, not for your offer. am out of here."
"A minute, I will have my driver take you home."
"Never mind, I can find my way home. Kudos! Mr. Masterminder." She said sarcastically.
