Minde glanced over at the figure standing before him smiling seductively at him, letting out a sigh he instructed his PA not to leave the office at he could tell that's what the girl in a short white and black check suit, red Barret cap, red purse and black heels was waiting for. She looked elegantly beautiful but Minde didn't think her character was as nice as she acted, he knew girls like her too well they all acted nice to get into his good books just for his money, contract or just cause they thought they loved him but he knew all too well that no one could love him for him mainly cause he was a whole different version of himself with other people apart from his family and now someone he hadn't expected, Zheng Dana and he believed he didn't deserve love, he was fighting demons he prayed day and night to be only just a dream or fragments of things that didn't happen the night he couldn't remember despite having an almost perfect memory.
"What can I do for you miss...."
"Miss Alix, Shen Alix" she cut in seeing as the CEO seemed to have forgotten her name, reluctantly she let go of his hand which she had taken in an handshake.
"Um. Please have a seat" Minde offered politely with a Stern face to ward off her attitude as she gripped unto his hand and took time before letting go.
"We met at the Yui's family function just a month ago CEO, how would you have forgotten...or you're feeling nervous cause I heard you have a very good memory" Alix chipped in with a smile that was made up realizing that he unaffected by her charm and beauty which usually made men fall to her feet.
"Since you've heard allot about me I'm sure you've also heard of my temper and how I like to go about my business" Minde replied in a cold looking directly at her. Her eye lids battered nervously seeing the look on his face.
Coughing weirdly to try to dissolve the tension she felt Alix quickly brought out the documents she came with in other to avoid his intense gaze. She wanted him to stare at her but definitely not in that way, this man was literally stone hearted she couldn't recall the last time a man looked at her with not so much as a little interest or even lust but it didn't matter she was Shen Alix and she was going to make him fall hard for her if it was the last thing she did.
"This are the terms for cooperation from my manager" she said handing over the files to Minde who gestured for her to give it to his PA as he went back to working on his computer.
"Read the terms Wei Huoyu and get back to me with a report, in the main time send a representative to go speak with her manager and should be the case" Minde said stressing the last sentence more so Shen Alix could realize that he understood her cheap game and it should have been her manager or she and her manager coming to discuss the terms with which she was to be used as the face of the company's new make up collection and not her showing up at his office uninvited.
Embarrassed Shen Alix quickly sort to take her leave.
"I'll be on my way now CEO sir,it was a pleasure seeing you, looking forward to working with you" Alix said trying to hide her embarrassment as she stood up, her hands stretched out in an hand shake which she quickly dropped down when she noticed Minde attention was still on his laptop.
"If you have anything to discuss or any complaints about the deal which I'm sure you won't contact Mr Wei here and next have your Manager make an appointment with Mr Geming." Minde said raising his eyes to look at her for the first time in the last couple of minutes.
Without a response Shen Alix walked out of his office feeling totally humiliated, immediately she stepped out of his office she stomped her shoe on the ground out of annoyance cussing underneath her breath.
"What does he even think of himself! Arrghh such an arrogant man! Cause his godly handsome?! Rich? And powerful?! I'm not some poor rat either I'm an A-list actress for hell's sake and he looked at me like trash!! "Do I look like trash?!" She asked herself as she looked at her Already red face in the floor to floor glass door in front of Minde's office.
she had heard the CEO of Feng group of companies was cold, jaw dropping god like physical features , arrogant, intelligent and distant infact she had heard allot of tales about him but no one really knew for sure his true nature cause he rarely attended functions or was in any scandals, he just existed with so much power and influence and yet no one knew much gossip about him and that had intrigued her the more after seeing him at San Yui's engagement party and she had made a bet with some girls at the party to make him fall for her and marry him, the most eligible bachelor in the country.
"You are mind CEO Minde, you're mind and I'll get you just hang in there a little this beauty's going to get you" Alix said smirking as she left the company's building.
Back in the office Minde instructed Wei Huoyu not to let Shen Alix into his office again before sending him off. Minde hated it when girls like her tried to over step, he knew her type all too well, beauty with empty ambition and a shag for seeking after wealthy suitors all so they could have money and influence the sort his family had in excess and unlike other rich guys who would take advantage of the greediness or innocence of most girls he didn't find any interest whatsoever. The saving grace he had when Alix had come in was the mail containing all the information about Hu Chaoxiang, he had also found out that someone influential bailed out Hu Chaoxiang and it was San Yui but Minde couldn't piece it together, he had seen Dana for the first time at the party when she spilled a glass of wine on San Yui which quite amused him and had drawn him to the side of the pool even when he usually didn't care about such things but unwilling he found himself jumping in to save her even when he knew it was none of his business, after that he hadn't cared to find out what really transpired between she and San Yui that now involved Hu Chaoxiang coming after Dana.
"Ishh...why am I getting involved in this? I shouldn't get involved..." Minde soliloquized to himself. His phone began to ring when he picked up the call what he heard made him sad for some unknown reason. Linx was going to the airport to board his flight with Zheng Dana which was leaving by 7pm the exact time he was having a zoom meeting with some foreign investors! Linx had called to remind him since Minde was always too busy to call before any of his flights.
As he was about ending the call he heard Dana's voice from the other end of the line and his heart stopped for a bit, her voice like a rain of nostalgia on his heart. Linx had probably thought he had cut the call as he commanded Dana to carry his bags well so they won't fall to the ground, reluctantly Minde cut the call. He wanted to see Dana at least for the last time, maybe after that he would gain the courage to forget her and it had already been a week but she wouldn't leave his mind no matter how he tried and he had to see her!
