Li Hua arrived at work and went straight to her office. She attended the normal staff meeting and returned to her office but she wasn't comfortable. She felt restless and the words still resonated in her head.
" I saw everything" The words kept reciting themselves and she could see his evil grin in her head.
She palmed her forehead and poured herself a glass of cold water before letting out a sigh.
" Don't let it ruin your day" she told herself and continued working on the files when her assistant rushed in.
" What was that for?" Li Hua asked without raising her head.
Bei played with her fingers, her face void of her normal smile. Not knowing how to break the news to her taskmaster, she remained standing and kept holding the hem of her uniform with her fingers.
" Do you want a leave?" Li Hua asked.
" You can just say it and I will consider it" she added and continued working.
" Em, I don't need a leave ma'am" Bei stammered, hoping her boss will just look at her for once.
" Bei, I'm busy and not also in a good mood. I will appreciate it if you can just say what you need or leave me alone" Li Hua enunciated and dropped her pen.
" Do you know already?" Bei asked with a spark in her eyes and Li Hua raised her head to look at her.
" Know what? " Li Hua asked curiously, not knowing what her assistant was talking about.
"The new media/magazine headline" Bei replied and before she could continue, Li Hua interrupted her.
" What does that have to do with me?" Li Hua asked again with her back resting on her chair.
" I see .." Bei drawled.
" I will advice you to check the news," Bei said and scurried out of the office.
" Wonder what's so special about the headline" Li Hua snorted and brought her tablet out to check the news.
Peeling a lollipop inside her mouth, she browsed through the internet and the lollipop dropped from her mouth when she saw the headline.
" ART SCHOOL TEACHER YE ZEGHAI CHEATED ON BY HIS FIANCEE WHO GOES BY THE NAME LI HUA. THE DIRECTOR OF THE LI'S MEDICAL CENTER BO CITY" the headline read.
She read the article with curiosity while constantly frowning as she scrolled down the page.
LI HUA IS A BITCH! The last sentence read and Li Hua dropped the tablet on her desk before grabbing her hair with gritted teeth.
Just then, the door of her office was kicked open and she jumped up from her chair to meet the angry face of Ye Zeghai.
She exhaled and sat back on her chair.
" How could you?" Ye Zeghai asked and took a step forward.
" I thought you're a modest woman, how could you be so shameless?" Ye Zeghai asked again, his eyes red and face crunched in anger.
" I'm shameless for myself" Li Hua replied and pinched her nose with her fingers.
" I thought we could make this work, I thought I could be the man for you, why don't you break the engagement before cheating? I never knew you were this loosed. You're a big pretender who pretends to be modest but deep inside, you're a slut. Who knows how long you have been doing this?" Ye Zeghai ranted. He swallowed hard and ruffled his hair with his hands before clenching them into fists as if trying to calm himself down.
Beads of sweat formed all over his forehead, his palms were sweaty and his T-shirt was soaked with sweat. One could tell that he had driven to the hospital in haste.
The staff and patients stood outside the office and watched them through the door. Some of them mumbled amongst themselves and Bei couldn't help but felt sorry for her boss.
After a brief silence, Li Hua placed her hands on her desk and clamped them together before opening her mouth to speak.
" First of all, you and I are not in any form of courtship or a relationship. Our engagement was arranged and you know full well that I never acknowledged it. So technically, I didn't cheat on you" Li Hua said word for word slowly and He Zeghai's face dropped.
How could she say that to him? How could she not show any sign of remorse? How could she sit down there comfortably without being nervous? Ye Zeghai could tell from all of this that Li Hua never loved him. He felt embarrassed and hurt.
" If you don't have anything else to say, can you please leave my office? Don't forget to close the door too" Li Hua said, looking him eyeballs to eyeballs.
" You will regret this" Ye Zeghai points his finger at her and dashed out of the office, pushing the staff out of his way.
~~~~ Outside the hospital~~~~
Ye Zeghai who was fuming out of the facility was stopped by the BO city reporters who were shoving their microphones on his face.
" Young master Ye Zeghai, what do you have to say about your fiancee cheating on you? " One of the reporters asked and Ye Zeghai gulped hard with difficulty before responding to her question.
" I and Li Hua are no longer engaged. I can't be with a woman who pretends to be modest in front of the public and do shits behind closed doors. The Ye's will withdraw their shares from the Li's Medical Center and we will have nothing in common. I hereby denounce our engagement. Li Hua and I are no longer engaged. She's now my past" Ye Zeghai said and made his way through the crowd to his car while the reporters takes countless photos of him.
~~~~ Li's Family Mansion~~~~
" I told you that child was a good-for-nothing child. Just look at the way she ruined our family image! " Meirong slammed her glass of water on the floor after watching Ye Zeghai's interview with the reporters which was now being reported in Bo's famous TV channels.
" Call Li Hua now! Tell her I want to see her immediately." Master Li said with shaking hands, referring to nobody in particular.
" Hello bitch, Father wants to see you immediately," Li Mumu told Li Hua on the phone and hung up before she could reply.
