As Alice stared at the unknown number and the funny meme, her finger hovered the block option. She could naturally guess it was the work of that retarded man. Just as she was about to click on it, the door bell rang. Frowning, she placed her phone aside as she walked over to the screen to check who could have come to her home. When she saw a delivery person standing there, with a basket in his hands, she could not help but frown! Had that crazy man also gotten a hold of her address? What a disgusting man! She was about to walk back and get her phone to blast the man and threaten him with filing a police complaint when the thing started to ring. It was Ximin calling.
As soon as she answered it, she heard her assistant's cheery voice. "Hey Alice! I forgot to tell you that President Mou asked for your contact details last night! He wanted to invite you for a chat about the new deal! I had to tell him that you were a bit unwell and therefore retired early. I did offer to arrange it for you but he insisted rather threatened that he wanted to send you a personal invite for a gathering instead of a formal meeting. Since he is a trusted senior man, with no skeletons in his closet, I gave him your address! He may just contact you! So be prepared! But, a word of warning! I saw Samuel approach him after he had talked to me so you need to be on guard! And now, I am off to my vacation and I am sorry for leaving you in the lurch but not sorry enough to stay back! Bye, sweetheart!"
Without having to utter a word, Alice had heard everything and could already feel a headache coming on. Walking back to the door, she saw the delivery person still standing there, pressing a button, asked into the microphone," Who sent you here?"
The delivery man, who was waiting for the answer, shook in response to the sudden blast of a cold voice and said in a meek voice," Mam! I bring delivery from President Mou of Mou Hospitality!"
"You can place it with the guard downstairs." And the connection was cut off. the delivery guard who had stood straight suddenly slouched as he wondered why he felt that he had just been thrown ice at! Shaking away his weird thinking, he walked to the small window and placed the basket with the guard.
Alice waited for the guard to bring up the basket and place it at the door. Making sure that her robe was still tied tightly before she walked out and grabbed the basket. It was a box of health tonics. A small smile graced her face as she thought that her grandfather would have done the same thing had he heard that she was sick.. President Mou really was a gentleman!
Opening the note and reading it's contents, however made her good mood disappear. It was an invitation alright and Samuel had played the man really well! If the resort had not been so important to her, she would have crushed the invite and thrown it into the recycling bin! Throwing aside the invite on the small coffee table, Alice walked back inside. She needed to get ready for work! Plugging in the hair drier, she styled her slightly moist hair as she seethed inwardly. To make matters worse, as she walked into the walk-in closet, she noticed the sweatshirt and pyjamas that she had thrown aside when she come back... As if it was the clothes that had offended her, she glared at them harshly before walking away with a simple white skirt suit.
It was only when she sat in her car, that she realized that it was the first day of the year and a holiday for their administration office! Well, since she was already here, she could go and sit in the office. There would be something that would come up for her.. Just then another message notification popped up and looking at the number, she was even more irked. Almost stabbing at her phone, she opened the message and then in a sudden change of moon, giggled loudly. The sweet smile echoed in the confines of the car and if someone would have seen the usually icy beauty laughing like a little girl, they would have been smitten!
It was so cute! Who would have thought that memes could be so cute.. It was a picture of "the mad hatter" who was staring around wide eyes...Under the meme was the caption-"You haven't blocked me yet! I can see your we-chat picture!!"
