The next evening, Jing Yue and Liling were going out for dinner and she proposed a restaurant instead of a hotel. After having their meals, Jing Yue said," Okay then. The two weeks we agreed upon have elapsed. Do I qualify to be your boyfriend?" She thought about it before saying," I don't know." Smirking, he said," Okay then. I'm officially your boyfriend because I passed the test." "And who tells you that?" she asked. "I trust my capability," he said shrugging. She looked at him before asking," What should I do to you if you break my heart?" "Anything you want. Though I guarantee that it will never happen," he said. When she didn't look convinced he said," If it will make you feel better, we can sign an agreement stating that if I hurt you, everything I own comes to you." "There's no way I can accept that. Just working as your personal secretary is stressing and I can't imagine the weight you're carrying being the CEO of Jing Conglomerate," she said. "Then?" he asked. "I accept," she said. He intertwined their fingers together and said," Thank you. I will never make you regret this."
On reaching her condo building, he parked outside and she asked," Ain't you coming in?"
"No. Maybe next time," he said. "Okay. Have a safe trip home. Call me when you reach," she said.
"Of course," he replied. She looked at him as if she wanted to do something but the next moment, he watched her open the door to leave. He quickly pulled her towards him and kissed her lips gently before saying," This is the goodbye you should give your boyfriend."
....
The next morning, Liu Han came back to the Jin Corps to try her luck once again. This time round, she found a different receptionist and she quickly approached her. "Good morning dear," she greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, ma'am. How can I be of help to you?" asked the receptionist. "Uhm... how soon can I see the CEO, Mr Jin Liwei?" she asked. "Without an appointment?" she asked and Liu Han nodded at this. After checking, she said," Eight months from now. I can book an appointment for you." Eight months? That was so far. She opened her handbag and got out a bundle of money. After looking around, she placed it at the counter and said, " I won't take long I promise.
I can give you more if you want." The woman got the money and pushed it back towards her and said," Bribery is not allowed here ma'am and failure to abide by the rules, you will be escorted out by security." She immediately took the money back and internally cursed.
Failing to come up with a way, she left the place and went to stand outside. She didn't know what to do.
Just then, she saw a car park and when the door opened, a man came out and he looked familiar.
She remembered that she saw him at the banquet and he seemed close to Jin Liwei which meant that he was probably his employee. Perhaps he could help take her to his office!
She ran to catch up to him," Excuse me, sir!"
Wang Mel turned to see who was calling him and he saw a woman. The moment he looked at her, he remembered seeing this troublesome woman at the banquet. "What do you want?" he asked. "Good morning," she said with a smile. "Good morning, how can I help you?" he asked. "I need your help sir. I'm called Liu Han and I need to talk to your boss, Mr Jin Liwei. It is really important," she said. He looked at her before asking," If you want to meet him, go and get an appointment."
With that, he started moving and she followed him saying," Please it's important. It's about that woman Li Fei and her pregnancy." When she said that, he halted in his steps and turned to look at her. He didn't know what was between his Boss and the woman but he knew that she was important.
"What are you talking about?" he asked her. "The one I want to talk to is Mr Jin Liwei," she asserted. "Wait here," he said and took a number of steps away to call him.
"Young Master, a woman named Liu Han wants to meet you. She's saying that it's important," he said. "Who's she?" asked Jin Liwei. It's obvious that he didn't know her.
"I saw her at the Yans banquet. She's saying that she wants to talk to you about Ms Li Fei and.... her pregnancy," he mentioned. After a moment of silence, Jin Liwei said," Bring her."
He told her to follow him and reaching the elevator, she was grinning from ear to ear since her plan was soon unfolding. Reaching the top most floor, she was gawked at the modern furniture and accessories. Wang Mel knocked at the CEO'S office once before opening the door and she came following after him.
The moment her eyes landed on the serious Jin Liwei, she couldn't help but internally drool. He was so handsome, every woman's dream come true. Wang Mel instructed her to take the seat that was opposite him and she did after which he left the office.
Liu Han looked at Jin Liwei whose eyes were fixated on the laptop as his long elegant fingers pressed the keys. His hair was neatly combed and he was dressed in a grey tux with a white shirt inside. He hadn't bothered to talk or spare her a glance. Didn't he know she was here?
"Good morning Mr Jin Liwei," she said enthusiastically but she got no reply. Pursing her lips, she decided to leave him as her eyes scanned the vast office taking in every detail.
Everything inside screamed of class and she didn't expect anything less from Jin Liwei's office. After half an hour, he closed the laptop and it's when he decided to look at her. "You are?" he asked looking at her. 'Doesn't he remember me?' she asked to herself.
"I'm Liu Han," she said with the sweetest smile and when he didn't say anything, she continued," I'm a top model based in Beijing- "
"Why are you here?" he asked not letting her complete her sentence.
