Chapter 112 How Can I Be Turned on by Her? (1/2)

Monica felt guilt-free for all this. At first, she only called Ying Qingcang to request a job position at Ying Enterprises. It was the perfect excuse for her to leave England. But much to her surprise, the man granted her wish before she even started begging for it. He straight out offered her a manager's position.

Reporters swarmed her the moment she deplaned. The reporters asked the first time she met Ying Qingcang, how they ended up dating each other, and whether she would remain in the country after their engagement. Through it all, she acted like an idiot struck by lightning. An idiot, who did nothing else but allow Ying Qingcang to shove her into the car. Until now...

”How am I supposed to face Xin Qing in the future?” Monica bit her hankerchief. ”I still have plans to be Ah Sha's godmother!”

Ying Qingcang shot her a quick glance. ”I disapprove. You don't have what it takes to be anyone's godmother.”

”No. I mean...” Monica trailed off, rolling her eyes at him. ”Can't you at least tell me what this is all about?” Monica was not so idiotic as to think Ying Qingcang suddenly had an epiphany and learned that he was in love with Monica all along. He was up to something.

Ying Qingcang calmed her back down into her chair. ”That's not important. There's something else I want to ask you about.”

Monica felt the urge to toss the folders on Ying Qingcang's desk in his face. Not important? To her, that was supposed to be most important. She dare not say those words though. ”What thing?” she asked through clenched teeth.

”Was my father awake when you left England?”

”Are you even his son? You don't know if he's awake?” Monica said in annoyance. Ying Qingcang shot her another glance. ”You no longer want this job?”

”That's not it!” Monica quickly added, ”The doctor found a blood clot in his brain. It's pressing on his nerve. It's uncertain when he'll walk again.”

Ying Qingcang retreated into his thoughts, and then asked, ”And that woman?”

”Stay with him, I guess. She went to the hospital pretty much every day.” Monica laugh mockingly. ”She's probably thinking that the old man would be reading his will once he wakes up!”

Ying Qingcang nodded. ”Alright. That's all. You're free to go. I've asked Ah Nan to find an apartment for you near the company. He'll take you there to have a look later.”

”What? Just like that?” Monica asked in dissatisfaction. ”You haven't given me any kind of explanation!”

”What else is there to explain? You've told me all you know, haven't you?” Ying Qingcang said, waving his hand. ”Hurry up and get out of here.”

Fuming, Monica yanked the door open, and was met with Ah Nan's grinning face. ”I'll take you to the apartment,” he said.

”Like hell you are!” Monica turned around and stomped back into the office. She slammed her palm on Ying Qingcang's desk. ”If you don't give me some kind of explanation now, then you can kiss our engagement goodbye!”

”Oh,” Ying Qingcang said. ”But the word is already out, so it doesn't really matter what you think. Plus, none of this concerns you. Everyone's focus would mainly be on me.”

All of a sudden, Monica went quiet. Her hands rested on her hips. ”Haha. I bet Xin Qing left you because of that despicable attitude of yours!”

Ying Qingcang was a little taken back at Monica's display of boldness. ”Since when have you found the courage to speak to me in such a way?”

Monica's lips curled downward in a frown. ”I was too young and innocent back then. I thought I liked you, that was why I listened to you all the time. Who's scared of you now?”

”Oh. Okay!” Ying Qingcang pressed a button under his desk. A bell rang, and Ah Nan, who eavesdropped in the doorway, ran inside.

Monica rolled her eyes at him. Ying Qingcang said in a flat tone, ”Bring me her file. And assign the position of Marketing Manager to someone else.”

”No! Don't!” Monica grabbed Ah Nan. ”How dare you!”

Ah Nan gave Ying Qingcang a helpless look. ”Young Master...”

”Will you obey me now?” Ying Qingcang asked Monica.

Monica released a violent shriek and clenched her teeth. ”Fine!”

”See? That wasn't so hard, was it? Should've done so from the start and saved us the trouble. Now you've just wasted my time. Get out!” Ying Qingcang said and waved his hand as if he swatted away a couple of flies.

Monica could not afford to piss Ying Qingcang off, so she took it all out on Ah Nan. After the visit to the apartment, she forced Ah Nan to take her shopping. They went as many as five rounds!

”Why didn't you buy the table cloth just now when we bought the curtains?”

”Because the table cloth there doesn't look nice,” Monica answered confidently.

Ah Nan nearly ripped the steering wheel off the dashboard. ”But they look exactly the same...” he thought.

The sky darkened by the time Ah Nan left Monica's house. From there, he returned to the company to see Ying Qingcang. Ever since Ah Sha traveled to France with Xin Qing, Ying Qingcang practically lived at the company and barely went home.

Ah Nan even bought dinner on the way to the company. Ying Qingcang was in the middle of a conversation with Young Master Shen when Ah Nan came in. ”I thought you left already? Why did you come back?” Ying Qingcang asked, looking at Ah Nan strangely.

Ah Nan was just about to answer when his phone suddenly rang. He felt a headache coming on the moment he saw the caller ID. When Ah Nan picked up, he immediately heard the ear-shattering music from the other end of the line, punctuated with Monica's screams.

”Ah Nan, quick, come save me! Someone's bullying me! The Inferno Bar!”

The line went dead before Ah Nan could get a single word out. Only the dial tone could be heard. ”Hello? Hello?” Ah Nan said.

Young Master Shen noticed the strange way Ah Nan acted, which made him curious. ”Hey, what's the matter with you?” he asked. ”I've never seen a look like that on your face before!”

”That was Miss Monica. She said she's at The Inferno Bar and someone's bullying her.”
