Her eyes were glimmering with confusion as she continued looking at the picture. He was tall with onyx hair and bright brown eyes, to put it simply he was handsome, to add in details, he was breathtaking. But she wasn't admiring him...something else. Just then Sheila walked in "im done, meeting is in 10 minutes" she reported and Jade nodded
"do i know him" she asked suddenly
"who" sheila asked confused
"this mi rue guy, you said i lost my memory of certain people, is he one of them because i feel he's...familiar" she rattled not taking her eyes off the pic
"dont tell me you're falling for him" sheila teased to hide her nervousness and this finally broke Jade from her reverie as she stared at her blankly "ok fine...listen i can't really say much if you've met him but don't try so hard to remember ok, the doctor warned its not good for you, im sure your memories will come back on their own, for now just focus on the plan, gain his trust and friendship and then proceed to the contract, we need to hurry up and end this" sheila told her changing the topic.
Sighing jade finally regained her composure "youre right, who cares who he is, i just need him for one thing and after that we're done" she told herself
"exactly, now lets go...its time" sheila said as they made their way to the large conference room.
Jade elegantly walked to the podium, "hello, I want to express my gratitude to the members of our different branches and conglomerates who are all working her to make Jade's co operations thrive, i wanted to work hard and prove to certain people that im not just a girl who is only meant to serve a man, we are people too and we can strive for fame and success and looking back im very happy with the results... I will be taking a break for now due to personal reasons and in my place Ms Zhou sheila will be the acting ceo until i return, do give her the same respect she's supposed to get, i'll be checking the company through her so don't think i won't know what's going on in my company anymore. And before i go, i would like to see the reports of all our branches before the day ends. Thank you" she concluded with a bow as she faced sheila who was shocked at the announcement
Different questions and thoughts going through everyone's mind as they headed out "where is the ceo going?" " well thank God, miss zhou isn't that cold" "gosh reports by end of today, give us a break" "did she just thank us..now that's new" of course no one voiced it out but could only grumble in their minds as they left to do what their ceo ordered. When it was only Sheila and Jade left, Sheila couldn't hold it in and hugged jade crying "a..arya...me ceo....why" she said between sobs,
flashing her an alluring smile jade told her " surprise!! who else would i trust with my company other than you, i trust you so much sis Lin Ai..i know the company is in good hands with you, besides you're oh-so-capable Elder miss Zhou, you have it in you"
" God i hate you this girl, what kind of surprise is this, I'll get you back" she told her after breaking their hug and wiping her tears. "thank you" she added and jade smiled again
Heading back to the office, jade spent her entire day reviewing the reports, meeting with different HOD's and correcting a few things. After the stressful day, sheila dropped jade off at her house "dont forget to be mean, sis Lin Ai"
She reminded "dont worry im not the first daughter of President Zhou for nothing Miss jade" she said smirking causing Jade to just nod and smile as she left the car and headed to her door, ready to face another hellish night.
