Chapter 16
Mu Hanxia lies in bed, motionless
The feeling is like walking in an icy-old snoorld The chilly wind blows out from the heart and seeps into the whole body
When she thinks of toer full of hope Instead it’s like enor
She pulls herself up and goes in the shabbyher skin red all over before she comes back out
Then she throws herself into the bed and wraps herself in the quilt
Exhausted
She quickly falls asleep
--------
Early in the ain
Mu Hanxia and He Jing are having breakfast on the first floor of the supermarket
He Jing notices that Mu Hanxia is extremely quiet today She stares at the swollen eyes of Mu Hanxia and asks, “What’s the matter? What happened to you?”
Mu Hanxia just sht the tiger”
She is as easy as usual, but He Jing is skeptical
Mu Hanxia gulps down her breakfast quickly and asks, “What time is it?”
He Jing takes out her cell phone and takes a look, “6:50, you don’t have your phone with you?”
“Forgot where I left it yesterday”
Mu Hanxia didn’t realize her cell phone isShe tried to call it but it’s turned off Either she left it in the dinner rooes once, she does not remember his phone number She can only wait until they meet next time
He Jing says, “Xia, if there’s sos back to yourself”
Mu Hanxia, “Hmm”

The office is bright, bustling with people scurrying around Everything is as usual
Mu Hanxia has been working on the complicated basic sales data all day at her desk In the late afternoon, the
Mu Hanxia says, “Manager, I’m not done with the work at hand yet Could you ask another one to do it?”
“Don’t you see everybody else is busy? Put down your work for a minute and hurry up!”
The door to the General Manager’s office is left ajar Xiao Chen is not on his spot outside the door Mu Hanxia pauses quietly for a moment and knocks on the door
“Come in”
Mu Hanxia pushes the door open and walks in Without looking at hier Meng, here are the documents”
She can feel Meng Gang’s sharp eyes resting on her
She turns to leave
“Wait a minute”
Mu Hanxia stops and turns to look at him
He is still the usual steady look, sitting behind the office desk and looking at her with unfathomable eyes
Mu Hanxia suddenly hates to look at his eyes, but right then he speaks, “YesterdayI’m sorry”
Mu Hanxia says nothing He says softly, “I drank too ize, Mu Hanxia”
Mu Hanxia feels as if some air within is suddenly deflated, but leaves her with evenof powerlessness and reluctance She knows hetoo much She also knows that with his shrewd and cautious nature, he wouldn’t have got to that point But how can she turn the page and wipe everything off simply like this?
“Manager Meng, if there’s nothing else, I’d better go now” She says quietly
Meng Gang gazes at her The wind is blowing on the curtain behind hiht is very quiet
He says, “In a few days, you should leave Le Ya I have a friend who has an high-end supero there As an experienced store assistant, your income won’t be less than what you have here The finance departive you three months' extra pay”
Mu Hanxia’s hands slowly clench into fists
She suddenly snantly, “OK”
There is nothing else to say She turns to walk toward the door When she pulls open the door, she hears Meng Gang’s even voice, “Mu Hanxia, what I said before, they are all truly from my heart”
--------
It’s night, the sky is dark
Mu Hanxia lies in bed , unable to fall asleep
Anger, sadness, disappointether and weaved into so pain, heavily pressed above her like an gigantic mountain
Does she hate Meng Gang? If it wasn’t the many favor he did her or his special promotion, she could not have entered the sales depart the career level of store assistant behind her She can’t hate him for all this
But does she blame him? Yes
The schemes of a man, the hidden lust When he wants her, he ood intentions Now he needs to protect himself and knows that she won’t be his, he mercilessly kicks her away
Atte made can be thus defined A man like him will never allow such a serious mistake to threat his career and life So, before she takes any action, he takes first move and expels her to prevent any possible future problems
A work opportunity so hard-earned by her, he doesn’t have the least of care when he destroys it
So does she really have to go to that supero back to the position of a store assistant, with no hope to ever stand back up again?
