Xiao Xing looked nervously into Xie Jayden's eyes and then the same affection he found out that he was getting every day from him. The same innocence of being in love was back in those wicked stares that terrified him to the core for some time back.
He gulped hard again and his eyes suddenly started to flutter all over the places other than meeting Xie Jayden's eyes. He found himself guilty of Xie Jayden, he felt like getting invisible from there. But then he saw solace in the small bottle of water that was placed on a tabletop in front of him.
He grabbed it in his right hand and in a fraction of seconds finished it thumbs down. As he finished the whole bottle, he got himself back together with the courage to survive another day as Mo Yuan.
After collecting himself, together when he looked back at Xie Jayden, he saw Xie Jayden watching him with a startled look on his face.
For the first time in his life, Xie Jayden saw what he never even imagined. A very peculiar person whose whole life he never placed a bottle near his lips, drank the whole bottle in one go like he was thirsty for ages.
Had he had a dream just now? Mo Yuan forgot about etiquette? No, there is no way Mo Yuan can drink water by the bottle. Finding the answer their gazes met and got locked in each other but a sudden announcement in the room took them back to reality with a jolt.
"Everyone please settle down, we are resuming the meeting in five minutes." Zhao Zhang announced while tea was served to everyone.
"We are sorry to trouble you that you witnessed the drama," He said looking at everyone.
Though he said they were sorry, everyone present there knew that it particularly happened in front of them to give them the warning to prevent them from making the same mistake in future.
"But... You all needed to witness that..." When he was announcing it through the half his speech ceased when a silhouette of a very handsome and dominant alpha stood at the door and looked at elegant but strong omega in the conference room.
"You have decided on getting those bastards in jail without me but let me be a part of the discussion of our new project."
As the alpha put his feet inside the office every omega and beta's heart started to beat rapidly. The 6 feet height, excellent face structure, deep brown orbs with Phoenix eyes, milk-white skin colour, thin but fuller lips, flawless body was perfect in every possible way to the world.
As he entered the conference room the handsome alpha's gaze stuck to the sight of the dominant omega who didn't give him any attention.
He wanted to be a part of the gorgeous omega's life since the day he saw him at Xie cooperation but who was he kidding that omega's soul was already with someone else.
"What are you doing here, Lu Dequan? Aren't you supposed to be in the States shooting for your new single?" Xie Jayden asked in annoyance when he saw the superstar of the era sitting on his chair.
"First thing I wrapped up shooting pretty early just to meet my best friend here and second I am also a member of Xie cooperation. Most importantly thirty per cent partners in 'Tian's fashion house'." He said while he smiled elegantly which reached to his natural brown orbs.
"That's enough, Lu Dequan. We are supposed to start working for Tian's fashion house." Xie Jayden declared irritatingly and turned his gaze to Xiao Xing who was still in the daze of his thinking about what will happen to Mr Qin afterwards.
"Mo Yuan...Mo Yuan." He called for him in an intense tone but the stupor of thinking hadn't broken down. Then he started deeply into those hazel eyes which looked into nothing in particular.
"What are you thinking, A-Yuan? Have you remembered something from the past that broke you that day?" His thoughts circulated in his head and then he strengthened his hand to hold the docile omega's hand to take him out of his daze.
"A-Yuan, what are you thinking? Are you feeling okay? Do you want to go home?" The way he delicately handled his omega everyone got in the shock of the incident? It never happened before. The heartless CEO alpha who cared for omega, handling the emotions delicately.
As the deep caring voice with the touch called him, Xiao Xing came out of his daze only to see love in the alpha's eyes. Was he dreaming again?
Just a few minutes back his alpha was fierce then suddenly he saw devotion for himself and now he was seeing the caring in his eyes for him. But breaking the chain of his thoughts he shook his head lightly.
"I am okay, Xie Jayden. Would you like to hear the concept I have in my mind?" He asked, remembering the main agenda of their meeting.
"Only if you are feeling okay. I don't want you to take the burden..." He was about to comfort his omega but suddenly omega placed his other hand on his hand which was placed on omega's hand.
"I am perfectly all right." He closed his eyes for a fraction of a second with a tilt in his head just to let know someone's worried heart to be at ease and started with his thoughts
"I have heard that 'Heaven's path that comes to you' is going to be released on national television this week?" He looked at Zhao Zheng and after getting an affirmative nod from him he started to speak again.
"I want to use the whole cast to launch our first product that is the clothes they are using for the drama."
As he said it he looked at all the confused members one by one and losing a bit of hope he rose from his place and asked Zhao Zhang to open the Weibo to see the new news of the drama that was now trending. Satisfied with the results he then asked him to show the news on the projector screen.
"The 'Heaven's path that comes to you...The first ten episodes got released and got hit overnight making it the most-watched show in recent history."
"This drama is in hot search for the main couple, the clothes, acting, story everything. The fans from all over the world are going crazy for any news around it." He stopped after a minute and took a breath to let everyone think about what he was telling them and then finally spoke the idea of it.
"If we can make Tian's fashion house's launch and drama's promotion together in one single event in Beijing then it will bring a lot of publicity in just one night." He took a pause and then again started speaking.
"Just think the main couple of the drama who got famous overnight will promote the drama and our designed clothes together both the names will give each other more hype.
The drama lovers will automatically search for clothing brands and the people who care for fashion will go and watch the drama because of the name Tian's fashion house which is Mo's and Xie's joint venture."
Xiao Xing finished telling his idea and looked around to get everyone's reaction but no one said a word as everyone only looked at Xie Jayden for any reaction but nothing came out of him.
Then Xiao Xing looked at Xie Jayden but his stoic face was something that he couldn't read. Xiao Xing's heart sank, he gulped down the saliva. A few sweat drops formed on his forehead as his brain started to curse his heart for speaking up.
"Why the hell do you need to speak Xiao Xing? Mo Jin told you specifically to keep your mouth shut.
But how could I not? That advertisement idea was too boring and all very old. I wanted to do something for Xie Jayden. He needs my help." As his heart spoke this to his brain immediately retaliated.
"He doesn't need you but Mo Yuan. Don't confuse your personality with him, Xiao Xing."
His brain won again and the pain in his heart came to his eyes when he turned around to hide it from everyone but then a loud voice of Mo Yuan's best friend startled them all. He too took a deep breath and holding his pain inside he looked at the source of the voice.
"You are brilliant, you know that? I just knew you are smarter than anyone."
