On the other side Sheng Ryan frown in confusion, when Ruihan didn't answer the call.. 'Did Ruihan just ignored his call' thought Ryan..
After thinking for a while, he gave a call to Assistant An.
Before Assistant An speaks anything, Ryan asked.. "Assistant An where are you?"
Assistant An looked around.. He was confused.. 'why did Sheng Ryan called him.. And why is he asking where I am?'
"ahh.. Master Ryan! I am at my home."
"Home?" asked Ryan.
"hmm.. It's already so late. Is there anything you want?" asked Assistant An.
"hnn.. No! Where is Ruihan?"
"Boss! Might be at his home." said Assistant An.
"No.. He is not there. Is he working off time?" said Ryan. He was standing in his balcony. On his way home he saw Ruihan was not yet home. He thought he might be working till late. So he gave a call but, Ruihan didn't answered.
"No. Infact after work, we both went to Imperial Hotel. Boss has a dinner plan with someone, we were early so we were waiting for her. But after waiting for almost a hour, no one came. At last Boss ordered me to go home and he went to the manager. He talked with him about something and then he went inside the elevator with the manager. May be he might be going to stay in Imperial Hotel tonight."
Ryan nodded his head in understanding.." okay.. Thanks. Goodnight." saying this he hang up the call.
Ryan was in deep thought.."Dinner.. Waiting for HER..Hmm, something is fishy Ryan.. I gonna ask him, once I meet him.." saying this to himself, Ryan went inside.
On the other side.. Ruihan almost done with eating. He saw shiha was discussing something with someone on the phone.
After few minutes shiha came towards him and handed the documents of there new project." Here.. Have a look, I almost completed everything. If there is need of any changes then just say it. Likewise we are going to meet tomorrow with those officers.. If you take a look right now, it will save the time tomorrow."
Ruihan took the documents..
Just then shiha's phone rang.. She answered the call.."hnn.. Okay, I will attend it in five minutes..and the meeting with Mr Nim, postponed it for one hour. I gonna attend it after an hour." After giving few orders shiha kept the phone aside.
Then she turned towards Ruihan and said.. "ahh.. I had a conference meeting.. It will not take much time. Within ten to fifteen minutes it will be done. The one which will take longer time, I had postponed it for an hour."
Ruihan nodded his head and said.. "No problem.. Go ahead. Till that, I gonna go through this documents."
Shiha gave a smile.. Then she shifted to the opposite sofa. Right now she was in casual clothes. She immediately wore a blazer on it and tied her hair into a messy bun, with her hands.. Her upper part turn into a professional look.
From the opposite side.. Ruihan was noticing everything.. He was confused when shiha took a blazer.. But then he was surprised when he saw her.. She immediately turned into Tang shiha.. Her upper part which will be visible to the other side was now completely opposite to the casual look.
Shiha took a laptop on her lap. She was busy with her meeting..
Ruihan don't know.. What was going inside him. He kept stealing glance towards shiha. The more he looked at shiha the more he gets attracted towards her. She look stunning while working.
After the conference meeting, shiha removed her blazer.. Then she turned towards Ruihan and said.. "Is everything prefect?"
Ruihan gave a look to her.. After few seconds he nodded his head and then he asked with an amusing voice.. "Do you have a Bipolar Disorder?"
Shiha gave a confusing look.. "hhnnn?" she didn't get what Ruihan said.
Ruihan kept the documents aside.. "I mean, Do you have a dual personality?
Hnn.. split personality we can say.."
Shiha gave a annoying look and said..
"No. I don't have anything like that."
"hnn..Don't take it to heart. I am just asking. Because you change your personality, behavior, attitude.. within a minute." said Ruihan while snapping the fingers.. "Like this.. So i thought you might have a bipolar disorder."
"It's not like what you think. It's just when I handle the business I have to act as Tang Shiha. And it goes for everyone.. Ones behavior depends on the other party or we can say depends on the person they are talking to."
Ruihan just nodded his head. Then he handed back the documents to shiha..
" Here..every thing looks perfect. I don't have any query regarding this. Sheng corporation will surely accept this proposal. "
Shiha gave a cute smile.
Ruihan stood up to leave.. "I gonna leave now. Thanks for the dinner."
"ahh..don't embarrass me. We didn't have a prefect dinner."
"okay.. So we can keep our dinner Pending." saying this Ruihan reached towards the exit.
Shiha followed behind.."sure..by the way.. Thanks."
Ruihan turned around and looked into her eyes.. "hhnnmm??"
Shiha twisted her lips.. "i said.. Thank you."
Ruihan raise his brow.. "For what."
Shiha clasped her hands.. "hnn.. It had been a long time since I have such a pleasant conversation with someone. Thanks. Its a long time since i had a comfortable and easy conversation with someone I hardly knew.. That also as Tang shiha.. With my real face."shiha pointed her finger towards her face.
Ruihan chuckled.."hnn.. Its my honor to have such a peaceful conversation with 'The ruthless Queen'."
Shiha gave a sad yet cute pout.. "hnm.. Then I must also say.. That!! I had such a nice time with 'The King of Devil.'"
Both of them laughed.. After which shiha bid goodbye to Sheng Ruihan.
She entered inside the balcony with her laptop..
Ruihan reached at his home.
He unlocked the door.. As he was about to step inside he heard the horn of the car.
He turned around.. And saw Ruan parked his car on the side. Ruan walked towards Ruihan.. They both walked inside together.. "Bro.. Why are you late. Don't say! you worked over time."
Just then Ryan came from behind and kept his each arms on Ruihan's and Ruan's shoulder.. "ahh.. No! My little brother.. He didn't worked over time. Infact he had a dinner plan with someone.."
Ruan gave the confused look to Ryan. And Ruihan ignored Ryan and sat on the sofa. He removed his coat and unbuttoned his sleeves and upper buttons on the shirt.
Ryan sat beside him and said.."where were you? I got the news, that you went to Imperial Hotel for dinner."
Ruihan gave a side glance.. "where did you get this news from?"
Ryan just gave a cheesy smile.."A little bird told me."
Ruihan ignored him and looked at Ruan.. "what about your work?"
Ruan drink the water and replied..
"I successfully closed the deal.. I gonna give you the details tomorrow."
Ruihan nodded his head. He took drank the glass of water..
Ryan who was just ignored right now gritted his teeth and said.. "Are you ignoring me Again??"
"What are you talking about?" asked Ruan.
Ryan stood from his place and went to sit beside Ruan.. "Ruan.. My little brother.. Do you know.. Our Big brother who always remains busy like bee.. Today he was waiting for someone to have a dinner with her.."
Ruan who was tried from his journey immediately sit straight and looked at Ruihan with an interesting look.
Hnn.. The gossiping mood of Ruan turned on.
" Bro what I am listening? Don't say.. You started dating behind by back. "said Ruan
Ruihan gave an annoying look at his brothers. He looked at Ryan and said..
"I think you are so free nowadays that you started possessing the habit of Ruan."
"hnn.. Its not like that. But from last few days Ruan was not present so.. Someone has to take his role. Right Ruan."
Ruan twisted his lips.. "Bro Han.. What did you mean by my habits.. And whatever.. Right now, speak with whom you had a dinner?"
Ruihan rub his brow and said.. "Its not like what you think. I had dinner plan with sh..Tang shiha. You know she also runs the business, so she was late and I was early so I waited for her. That's it." he almost said shiha.. But then he controlled himself. After all he promised her not to reveal her identity. And, now if he takes shiha's name.. Than his brothers will surely ask more details about Shiha. Because he knew his brothers are also eagerly waiting for shiha's news..
" Really?? "asked Ruan
" Hmm.. "
" Bro.. I hope you are lying. Because I want you to find someone and date her. Right now I am so tried.. So I an going to sleep. Bye.. Bye.. "saying this Ruan left for his home.
Ruihan looked at Ryan and said..
" Aren't your wife waiting for you? "
" Ruihan.. I feel like.. Something is fishy.. Hmmm.. What's that? "
"Nothing is like that. And I will surely share with you guys if.. If there is something like that okay."
"hnn..okay. We trust you. Now I gonna go..my wife is waiting for me.. Good night." saying this Ryan too left Ruihan's place.
Ruihan walked to his bedroom. He gets fresh and went to sleep. As his head touched the pillow.. He remember Tang shiha's face.. Still he can't believe. Indeed she is The Queen.. She can do anything.
It really surprised him.
On the other side.. Shiha completed her meeting. It was already midnight. She was too tired to walk.. She slept on the couch.. As her mind gets free from her business things.. She remembered Ruihan. His face, His smile.. And the most.. his caring nature. She remembered.. How he stopped her from having the beer.. And how he sounds when he saw her refrigerator empty.. 'hnn.. Such a caring man he is. Surely His wife might be the luckiest woman on the earth.' she smiled at her thought.
And like this.. She went into the deep slumber.
