Chapter 49 - Chapter 49 To the CEO'S office

"Hey girl, where have you been?" asked Liling as soon as she answered. "At the house of course. I switched off the phone so as to take a break," replied Li Fei. "You got me really worried you should have told me beforehand," complained Liling. "I'm really sorry I didn't think about it. How have you been?"

"Good and you? Tomorrow I will be coming at your workplace to see you," she said. "I won't be going to work tomorrow," she said. "Why?" asked Liling.

"I took a week's leave," she said. "Is it about the news on social media?" asked Liling. "Yes. I decided to take a break."

After speaking with Liling, she laid back on the bed. Two days had passed ever since that awful incident happened and she decided to take a break from work one because she wasn't feeling well and two because she wasn't yet ready to cross paths with Jin Liwei.

As she was still lost in thoughts, her phone buzzed and she saw that it was her mother calling.

"Your phone has been off, why?" asked Li Mei immediately. "I'm so sorry, Mom. It's just that I have been busy these past days," she said.

"I can see that. You told us that you were going to take a break yet you've been there working your a** off. Do you care to tell me where you got that much money?" she asked. "Money? What do you mean?" asked Li Fei confused.

"Don't pretend with me FeiFei. I know that it's you who bought your Dad's shares back and you even bought ten percent more. You also bought the house back. Li Fei, we are talking about more than Fifty Billion Yuan. Where did you get that much money?" Li Fei immediately understood that it was none other than Jin Liwei who did that. "Are you still there?" Li Mei asked. "Yes, Mom. I....I did it so that.... you could be happy," Li Fei said.

"I know that you did it and thank you so much but my question was where you got that much money from. Don't dare lie to me that the Jin group pays that much."

"I.....I used my salary and savings Mom. I also got a loan from someone but you shouldn't worry because the interest rate is not high," she said. "You didn't have to do that Li Fei. Your Dad was working on something. How are you going to pay back that huge loan?" she asked worriedly. "Mom, you shouldn't worry about anything. He's a friend and perhaps I'm already paying it back," she said.

"Okay then. We shall help you pay it with time. When are you coming back home?" "I will be home soon," she promised. "Okay. And another thing, Hu Feng came and told me that he is coming to Shanghai to look for you." "Don't let him Mom. Tell him that I will be home soon," she said. She didn't know how she was going to face him and what she was going to tell him.

"I will try FeiFei but he seemed determined," she said.

On hanging up, she thought about what her mother had told her. Jin Liwei had bought back her Dad's shares and even more. He also gave them back their house. He probably did it to ease his conscience. Honestly, she was happy because her parents were happy.

Sighing, she went back to sleep. This is what she has been doing in these two days. Thanks to Yin Chen's herbs, she had gotten better.

It was a Monday when Li Fei reported back to work. Having been absent for a week, some of her department colleagues waited for the manager to scold her but he didn't say or do anything to her. As usual, she sat on her desk and opened the laptop to get some work done.

.....

"Young Master, she is here," Wang Mel informed his Boss. Jin Liwei thought for a moment before saying," Okay. You can leave." Wang Mel didn't understand the relationship between the Miss and the Young Master. It shocked him to wits when he had instructed him to take her to the penthouse. Didn't the Young Master despise the Miss? he wondered to himself.

....

As Li Fei was working on something, the manager came to her desk and said," Ms Li Fei, I need you to deliver these papers to the CEO'S office." Li Fei looked at him surprised. The department had a secretary and also Mr Jin Liwei had a secretary. "Why me?" she couldn't help but ask. "Because I want it to be you," he said looking at her seriously. "Right now," he added and she stood up. She got them and made her way towards the elevator. "I am not a secretary here,"she muttered under her breath.

On her way, she saw that his secretary's cubicle was closed and she thought that maybe that's why he asked her to deliver the papers. His secretary hadn't worked today.

Reaching his office, she knocked twice before opening it and caught sight of him in his seat but unlike the other times, he was looking straight at her. She walked forward and he said," Close the door." Hesitantly, she went back and closed the door which she had left slightly open and she softly gulped.

She came to stand in front of him but he hadn't averted his gaze away for one bit which made her feel uncomfortable.

Considering what had happened between them a week ago, she felt like he could see her bare body through her clothes. She cleared her throat before saying," Good morning, Mr Jin Liwei. Here are the papers you asked for." He didn't do or say anything but kept looking at her. She placed them on the table and said," Ah... please excuse me." She turned to leave when he said," Wait." Her body turned stiff at first and she slowly turned to see him get up from his seat. Her heart pounded in her chest when he took steps to where she stood.

He passed by her and went to the door then locked it. That action alone was enough to make her heart stop.
