Inside the directors meeting room, the anxiety was so thick, that you could barely see. Although the meeting had just started a few minutes ago, there were already nine directors who were dismissed from their position and five others, were being investigated for fraud and leaking classified information.
Lu Ye Ze was holding a handful of reports in his hand and with each he had gone through, a drastic action had been taken against the possessor.
The rest of the directors were seating on pins and needles, even if they were not going to be sacked or investigated, were they even going to come out alive from this meeting. A certain wolf was very thirsty for fresh blood.
The man was sitting laid back in his chair, his left hand was supporting his temples while the other was flicking through the reports in order to chose the next one to discuss. His mood was gloomy, his dark circles were making his complexion even more attractive than usual.
His aura was so terrifying and cold, that one would think that the North Pole was actually a sunny, white sand beach. At that moment his phone screen flashed with a notification. He stole a glance and in the next second the report file he was holding, dropped to the floor. He stood straight in his chair and picked up his phone. He unlocked it and opened his messages. The last text he had received, made his heart stop beating.
"Meeting adjourned" Commanded the tall lean man and left the meeting room in the blink of an eye. Everyone in the meeting room was dumbfounded, have they just been granted with a new chance at life... who was this God, they had a new life of kowtows to make in front of him.
Back in his office the man read the text again and again. His girl had finally called him. He was starting to loose hope, but now he felt more alive than ever. A strong amount of energy had resurfaced from the depths of his soul. He could now hear, see, smell and breathe. His heart started beating again and the Earth started spinning. After a few deep breaths, he decided to dial the unknown number.
Jo was looking at her phone in panic. Why did she text him so sudden and at this hour as well. She knew that with the time zone difference it was morning already in Beijing, but it was still early in UK. Arghhhh why do I always act without thinking... Her phone suddenly started ringing and made her jump up in fright. She dropped the phone from her hands, but she picked it up quickly and looked at the screen... it was him.
The second ring startled her in pressing the answer key.
1 second,
2 seconds,
3 seconds,
The phone call got through, but Jo was silent. Lu Ye Ze kept the phone to his ear, a faint smile was contouring on his lips. This scene reminded him of the first time they've met. She locked him out of his house and he had to hack his own security system to get in.
"I am doing well, thank you. How are you, have you settled alright back home?" The man decided to break the silence.
Jo clenched the phone at her ear, his voice... his voice made her heart twist in pain, what did this mean. She missed him, his voice, his presence, his fragrance... his touch and warm embrace.
"Yes I did... I... " missed you, did you miss me too? Jo asked in her mind.
"Yes?" Asked the man at her unfinished question.
Tears started forming in Jo's eyes, a powerful wave of emotions was drowning her on the inside.
"I wanted to ask you about the ring you have left for me... are we... are we officially married?"
