"I'm sure you'll see why," she replied and Suyin continued scrolling until she found the information. "So, this Jin Liwei is the man whose wife was involved in the accident," she murmured to herself.
"He's so handsome but he looks scary," she commented on seeing his pictures and Li Fei didn't reply to that.
"So then Li Fei, are you sure that you will manage the job?" she asked when she was done with checking the information.
"Yes, I will do everything I can," she promised.
"Perhaps I have a better option. What do you think about rejoining the entertainment industry? I can talk to our CEO and so that she signs you in as a model," Suyin proposed. "Thank you but no. I'm not interested," she replied.
"Okay. Don't hesitate to tell me incase you have a change of heart. I think it will be cool working with you. I will talk to our CEO tomorrow and we see what she says about it," she said and Li Fei nodded.
"So, your friend. Where does he live?" Suyin asked. "On this same building," she replied and Suyin nodded. It made Li Fei wonder why the singer was interested in knowing about Jianyu.
The next day in the evening, Li Fei received a call from Suyin. "I talked to our CEO and she requests to meet you. Will you be able to come with me tomorrow?" "Yes of course. At what time?" she asked. "In the morning."
When Jianyu came over, she informed him of her intentions and he frowned. "Are you sure about it?" he asked. "Yes. I think it's cool and perhaps, it will help keep my mind busy," she replied munching on a packet of chips. "I still think you should give it a thought." "Well I made up my mind. If they give me the opportunity then I will take the job."
**Three months later**
Li Fei stood outside Zeroin Records and she fetched for her phone to get a cab when a car stopped right in front of her.
"Jianyu! I thought you were leaving work late," she said.
"So did I but I managed to finish early," he replied getting out of the car and walked to sit on the other side so that she could occupy the driver's seat.
When she got in, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves and he said," Keep calm. I'm right here." "Okay," she whispered and started the car.
During the entire time, Jianyu has been helping her overcome the trauma of driving. Before they could set off, Suyin came out of the building rushing and she called her," Li Fei!"
On seeing her, she lowered the mirror and Suyin said," I'm sorry for disturbing you but I need a ride home. Can you please drop me?" "Of course," she replied and Suyin hoped in the backseat.
Jianyu's expression became grim because he had hoped to spend some time with Li Fei, just the two of them. Ever since she took over the management job, she had become busy.
"Good evening Mr Yan," Suyin greeted him.
"Good evening," he replied looking away.
When they reached home, Li Fei found another banquet of roses at her doorstep.
"Flowers again," Jianyu mumbled. Picking them up, Li Fei opened the door and entered with them as she said," I got used to it now."
She walked to the room where she stored every flowers she found at her door step every single day.
"Why don't you throw them away?" he asked as he looked at the room which was filled with flowers.
"I thought about it at first but, I decided to keep them here. They look pretty don't they?" she asked as she closed the door.
Going to the living room, Jianyu asked," You're not working tomorrow, are you?" "I don't think so," she replied rubbing her nape.
"Why don't you quit the job? It's tiring you out."
"I cannot do it especially now that we are working on a new album release. And perhaps, I love how occupied the job keeps me," she replied stretching her limbs.
"Okay. I will start preparing something for us," he said before going to the kitchen.
As Li Fei was going to take a bath, she heard a knock on the door and she opened to see that it was Suyin. "Are you busy?" she asked peeking inside. "No, you can come in."
"I'm sorry but considering that we ain't working tomorrow, I thought to bring this contract and we pass through it together, if that's okay with you," she said.
"Of course," she replied and they made way towards the couch.
Together, they passed through the clauses of the endorsement deal and in the middle, Suyin asked," Do you leave with someone?" "No. Why?"
"As if I heard some sounds in the kitchen," she replied. "Oh that's Jianyu cooking. You can stay and have dinner with us," said Li Fei.
Just that moment, Jianyu came to the living room and seeing the singer, his lips twitched in distaste and Suyin didn't miss on catching it. "I cooked too. Some other time maybe," she replied. She would have loved to stay but it was clear that he didn't want her around.
Without saying anything, Jianyu left back to the kitchen.
When they finished signing the contract, Suyin stood up to leave and she asked," Uhm, Li Fei, does Jianyu have a girlfriend?"
"I don't think so. Why?" "Nothing much. It's just that he spends much time with you." "We are friends, that's all," she replied.
"Okay. Have a good night," she said.
When she left, Li Fei realized that her suspicions were true all along.
Laying in the bed, Li Fei closed her eyes.
It's been four months ever since she last saw him but she couldn't get him out of her heart and head. She had thought that taking up the management job would help but she was wrong. A message popped on her phone and she didn't have to check to know that it said, 'Good night FeiFei.'
It had become a daily routine just like the banquet of purple flowers.
