[POV Hu Qiang]
During the meeting, Bai Chang went after their neck. I liked her style.
'Should I also conduct my meeting like her, on a timer?'
Those bunches of stubborn fools were just asking for it.
Who asked them to play smart in front of my wife?
They had it coming. After all, they wanted us to give up our upper hand and even earn profits off us!
'There is a limit to the amount you can mooch off others!'
I see her observing the skyline through the glass window. Her back's straight. She looks magnificent, in her- black A-line dress with white stripes running all over it. Her hairs were pulled together in a low bun.
'She looks like a Queen, looking over her dynasty.'
I can't stop myself from rushing towards her.
We admire the view together.
This moment; it feels good. 'I wish I could freeze our time.'
Later the entire day, Bai Chang looked into the market and the prospect for our fashion house.
Ming Li hovered over us like an unsightly bat.
'I realised why I send him to our international office?'
'This guy is just too clingy …'
I look around helplessly as he sticks to my wife's side, the downside being; it's my wife, who was ordering him around!
They talk all afternoon. While Bai Chang maps out the future course of the Fashion house, she instructs Ming Li on how and what to procure as raw materials from international markets.
They place orders for the materials and it's decided we will go to these markets, this weekend to check the material ourselves before importing the requisite material.
'Now, I feel my son is much better. At least he allows me to spend time with his mother.'
For the entire working day, I didn't do any work as I did the most important job in the world, i.e. admiring my wife.
'It's good that I am, my own boss. Otherwise, I would be fired from my job today.'
[Ring … Rrring]
My phone started to ring.
"Hello," I answered.
"Qiang, I know it is last minute, but could you bring Bai Chang and Xiao Wei for dinner tonight?" My mother spoke up from the other side in a rush.
I can hear the kitchen utensils making noise in the background.
"Let me ask Bai Chang …"
I turned towards her,
"Tell mom, that I would love to have dinner with her, we will be there." She replied and got back to work.
"Okay mom, you heard that right, we will swing by for dinner," I said.
"Qiang, where are you now?" My mother asked, concerned.
"Office," as I said so…
"You ungrateful child, she is still fragile and you make her work hard in your company. Come tonight your father will have heart to heart with you" she hanged up after threatening me.
I looked towards my wife,
"Don't look at me like that; we will play it, by the ear." She said and hurried her pace, to finish with her task at hand.
It seems, today is just not my day.
All my late night date plans washed down the drain. It became a family reunion day.
