Chapter 13 - 13. When he volunteers to take her home

Lili flipped through the files before her table. She covered one file up and then she placed one aside and then picked up another and continued the flipping.

She seemed lost and confused. Her face was pale and her eyes sunken. It had all affected her make-up making her look like one who had been up for a whole night. But in reality, she had been working for a whole day!

Without even a second of rest!

Without even knocking, someone barged into the office and dumped a huge file on the table.

"CEO Li requested you also get these sorted," The lady Said and then left the office.

Lili paused, Looking at the file hipped up before her. She couldn't talk, she didn't know how to react, she was running mad!

Staring at the file and another file before her, she felt like screaming out on the rooftop and smashing all who had come with the file! But for a reason she was speechless

Today had been like a living nightmare after she had come to work on that Day and seen that the guy she had poisoned was still alive!

This was the craziest and most shocking thing she had experienced in her life. and that was why she had to guts to speak up. What would she say?!

It was night and she was already freaking out from all the work before her. And not to mention the thought of seeing SiChen the second time. Her brain was a mess right now, it was a miracle how she managed to do the work.

Just then, someone barged into the room "CEO Li says...."

"What now?!" She interrupted in a loud voice at ve out heat stress. She almost squeaked, she was not okay!

The young man who had entered looked at her, confused by her sudden yell. "Well... CEO Li said You're free to get off work...now..." He informed.

Lili gasped, finally! She felt like she had stepped into a bowl of ice after having been under a hot sun for honors. The feeling of liberation!

She slowly let out a long sigh as she quickly packed up her stuff. And then got up, she didn't wait for the young man to go before she dashed out of the office. she was planning to escape before SiChen came out of his office!

*****

"Boss, who are we waiting for right now?" The clumsy-looking young man asked standing beside SiChen who leaned on his car with both hands crossed

The car was packed right outside the company that night.

"Hey...Boss...are you sure you're not lovesick?" The young man asked.

SiChen glared at the rather shorter young man standing beside him "Hey, You little thing" He snapped.

"Little thing?!" He repeated "I have a named boss, TangTang. Don't tell me you forgot my name?" He questioned.

SiChen looked away, he wasn't in the mood for this Pestering young man.

"Oh...This girl must be something to make you like this after she dumped you...I mean, who could ever dump you? It's impossible! I wonder who she is" TangTang said.

SiChen looked at him "If I hear one more word from you, I'll deny you your salary for a year" He Said as TangTang held his mouth.

Just then LiLi walked out of the company in a hurry. she was glad to Have escaped, now she could run home!

But looking ahead, she was shocked of having met eye to eye with SiChen leaning against the car. She Stiffened, mission failed!

"Hey! You over there. . Hurry up, I've been waiting for a long" He waved at her.

Lili didn't want to go, she wanted to escape "No. I have something to do .." She turned to leave

"If you don't follow me home, I'll make you suffer ten minutes more than you did today," He said as she stopped and looked at him. He smiled "Come... quickly"

Lili glared at him She wanted to get angry but she couldn't. She simply walked up to him.

"Good, so get in," He Said as he entered the driver's seat. He watched as Lili enter the back seat.

"Hey...Boss, I'm your driver why won't you let me drive?" Tangerang asked

He looked up at him "Get out else I'll run you over" He threatened.

"What?.. But at least drop me off home... okay?" Tangerang smiled in request.

SiChen stared at him for a while without saying anything. Then he finally responded "You have money, so take a cab," He said as he started the engine and drove off.

"What...." Tangerang watched him drive off in shock. He couldn't believe his eyes "What's gotten into him recently? He's suddenly...Rude?" He sighed thinking "I'll have to find out the girl that made him This way," He said feeling His imaginary beard.

In a mansion, A woman knelt In a room, before the image of SiChen while her husband stood

Both Looked grieved and the woman was in tears. They were SiChen's parents who had been like this after getting the news of Their son's death.

Miss Li had been sobbing all day long, she couldn't stop. And she couldn't be strong like her husband who was holding in his tears.

Outside the room, they were in was another couple who were the same age as them.

This couple didn't seem to be grieved like the ones inside. They were rather casual about everything.

"When is this mourning of a Thing going to end? It's already getting on my nerves" The mother said.

"We'll just have to wait for them to end it themselves after the procedures, Suggesting this to them would put us in the spot" The man stated.

They stood there watching.

Just then, they heard the entrance door open and someone had entered

"Oh look, Our daughter's back" The woman, who seemed to be her mother stated. "Let's go welcome her"

"Yeah, we should go" The father Agreed as both of them headed out to welcome their daughter whom they assumed had returned home.
