Chapter 34 You should smile more often (1/2)
Thank the heavens and the Lords that Lexi successfully kept her temper at bay albeit through the skin of her teeth. She smiled,as usual, converse using uttered flowery words, and actually acquired business calling cards from some of the influential businessmen.
Hence, despite Ethan's constant teasing, she survived until they congratulate Seraphina Yue one last time and wished her the best of luck in leading the Yue International Empire.
After the Chairwoman Seraphina Yue took her leave, Lexi humbly waited for the other big names to leave before leaving herself. While waiting, Lexi approached Wren Tanaka who finally separated from the Chairwoman of Yue International.
”CEO Tanaka,” All smiles, Lexi smoothly called out. Since Wren, for some reason, wasn't leaving and seemed to have a change of his mood as Lexi took a glimpse of him, clenching his jaw. Alas, just when she called out, Wren instantly got his easy-going persona as if the annoyed expression Lexi saw seconds ago were just a figment of her imagination.
”Miss Yang~!” As usual, Wren's approach was that of an ever-friendly one that reeled anyone who he talked with. ”I would like to say I really appreciate you granting my invitation.” He added with a wide grin.
”No, CEO Tanaka, it was me who should sincerely thank you for allowing me to meet all these respectable men.” With an open heart, Lexi candidly spatted her gratitude towards the man. Indeed, this opportunity opened doors for different opportunities that the Yang Family could take in the future and Lexi could not be more grateful to Wren.
Sensing the profound genuineness of her words, Wren smiled brightly as he gestured Lexi to accompany her for a while. ”Miss Yang, mind if you assist me for the time being?”
”My pleasure.”
With that, both of them exited the spacious dining hall keeping their professional distance. For Lexi, seeing that Ethan Lu was dragged away earlier along with those other businessmen, she was relieved that she doesn't have to put up with his teasing.
Glancing at the man beside her, Lexi muster the courage to ask the real purpose of why Wren Tanaka invited her to such an event. Moreover, just like what Churu told her several days ago, she should ask every once in a while instead of guessing all the time.

”CEO Tanaka, if you don't mind me asking, I have been wondering why you gave me this opportunity?
”As you know Miss Yang, I had a habit of seeing something or even someone's potential to the betterment of my company… so, I always take the gamble.”
Hearing his nice response, Lexi was somewhat flattered. She was reminded that in recent years, she never felt appreciated with all her hard work she did for that certain man. She almost forgot her worth despite keeping her proud front.
