The female secretary's gaze moved from the CEO's phone which was vibrating and to the CEO himself who was busy reading the pile of documents on his table and informed softly;
"CEO Feng, your phone is ringing."
It was only then that Feng Xun unceremoniously picked up his phone as he swiped to answer without glancing at the caller and his gaze never leave the documents.
Few people knew his private contact number and it was only some friends and his family.
'It was probably that playboy.' He thought.
"Why the heck are you disturbing me with calls!, did I owe you money?"
Bai Sheng's eyebrow twitched slightly and he asked gloomily.
"Are you referring to me?"
Feng Xun's body stiffened as he heard the man's cold voice.
Bai Sheng rarely called him and that was why he had ruled him out he was sure that that man was already angry because he was the person with the worst temper among them.
Feng Xun glanced at the secretary and then motioned for her to leave.
After that, he cleared his throat and remarked gently, "Ah Sheng, I didn't know it was you, don't be angry, okay?."
"I thought you were in your menopause with that outburst of yours." Bai Sheng replied casually.
Feng Xun felt speechless, between him and this man, who was reaching menopause.
Of course, he didn't say it loud but asked instead;
"Why are you calling me?."
Bai Sheng frowned when he heard his question and didn't know how to answer so he could only ask instead;
"You seem to be busy?"
Hearing his question, Feng Xun frown in confusion and wondered why whenever Bai Sheng called him these days, he wouldn't ask anything and only asked about what he was doing or where he was.
Though he was confused, he still answered;
"I am in my office and was very busy, after all, my sister returned yesterday and I haven't gotten the chance to look at her properly and also test her prowess so I can't wait to get home."
Bai Sheng's lip curled up into a smile when he finally heard the answer to the question in his heart and before he hang up, he didn't forget to mock Feng Xun.
"You think you can win her with those soft fists of yours, how about you go and find those high school kids to practice with?."
Feng Xun ran his long fingers into his hair and sighed, this friend of his was the only one that could degrade one so much.
He didn't get angry and continued with his work instead.
******
Bai corporation.
Swiveling around on the swivel chair, a smile was on Bai Sheng's lips as his memory took him back to where he met that beautiful young lady.
Five years ago.
On the rooftop of the same Bai corporation. It was raining heavily and a man was standing there, under the rain, clad in a black suit.
His face was pale and his lips were pursed and his hand was clenched tightly. His eyes showed endless determination.
The man was twenty years old Bai Sheng. His mother died from an accident seven years ago and two months after her death, her father announced his marriage to his secretary, who was in her thirties and was speculated to have been in a relationship with him before his mother's death because the woman moved into their house with a ten years old boy and becomes the main wife.
Thanks to them, his life became a living hell, he was demoted as the heir with no shares in the family's company.
His grandmother was abroad for treatment and he didn't want to worry her by telling her what was happening to him otherwise if he do so, there is no chance for the mistress to stay in the mansion anymore.
He thought that that was where his stepmom's viciousness ended but it was actually just the beginning...
He was bullied till his life has no starting point, his reputation also became worse, and with some rumors that he hit his stepmom, he stole an expensive watch from someone, and like he raped a girl which they will in the end claim that it was just a rumor and then it was followed by endless assassinations.
That night, he wanted to kill himself because life held no meaning to him anymore.
However, just as he was about to lift a leg forward, a hand pull his black shirt back, making the both of them crash onto the ground.
His head hits the cold and watered ground as he groans in pain and then before he fainted, he heard a girl's voice cursing softly;
"Dammit."
'So I was saved by a woman' that was his thought.
When he woke up the next morning, he was in an unfamiliar room, the room was designed in black and there is no one there and then he realized he had caught a cold.
"Staying in the rain was the last thing I will ever do." He muttered to himself softly.
A cup of water was on the bedside table and he picked it up and gulp it down.
Then the door opened and a young girl entered, she was wearing denim pants paired with a sweatshirt and plain white sneakers, and she has long brown hair that was casually tied into a ponytail.
However, her face shocked him because...she was so beautiful. Definitely the most beautiful he had ever seen. He had seen his fair share of women when his mother was still alive and he was still the heir to his family, but when he looked at the girl in front of him, he felt that all those beauties were not even compared to her fingernails.
Her face was definitely the smallest he had ever seen, she had curved eyebrows, double eyelids, bright eyes, a straight nose, and red plump lips that were looking for a good kiss.
Even though the girl only sat down without doing anything, the aura that her whole body exuded was of the nobility.
Bai Sheng waited for the beautiful girl to say something but she didn't say anything and was only busy with her phone.
