Chapter 23 - The Beginning of a Catastrophic Storm (1/2)
Outside of the international airport, a slim figure with a leopard patterned jacket, five inches high heels and sunglasses walked out with her luggage. She tipped a few big bills to the porter who helped her carry five bags of luggage from the gates to the taxi. With a grin on her face, she reached the handle of the taxi door and entered the back seat, ”I'm back, Brother Yuo.”
The taxi driver saw her tip the porter a generous number of tips. Immediately, his attitude to her changed greatly to one that is filled with respect. ”Where would you like to go, miss?”
”I want to go to Tian Corporations at 45 Luxuries Road.” After getting in the taxi, she removed her sunglasses, put on her earphones, and replayed the last voicemail that Tian Yuo had sent her.
”Karen.. I love you...” The man's voice made her smile stretch wider than before. Within fifteen minutes, she arrived at Tian Corps. In the past, Tian Yuo told everyone in the company that if she was the one visiting, then she can enter the company at any time without any appointments or prior notice.
Stepping out of the vehicle, the driver helped carry her luggage to the front desk of Tian Corps. Including the tips and trip cost, she paid him triple the amount that she needed to pay. The manager recognized Karen and asked the other staffs to help her with the luggage.
”Thanks.” She greeted them with an arrogant tone.
Meanwhile in Tian Yuo's office, the housekeeper just finished setting up Tian Yuo's lunch on the dining table. As soon as Tian Yuo sat down and picked up his fork, the door to his office creaked open. Karen walked in and ran to his side, ”Brother Yuo! I'm back!”
Taken aback by her sudden appearance, he hugged her lightly and captured the girl's heavy cotton candy fragrance. The scent was overly sweet but was not popular amongst consumers because of how heavy it smelled. Only Karen would like such a unique scent.
As the fragrance filled his nostrils, reality hit him, ”K..Karen? You're really back!” he threw the fork away and looked at the face that he wished to dream of every night. The housekeeper frowned upon her entrance and ill-mannered behavior. Clearly, Tian Yuo was a married man, so she should be keeping her distance from him and watch her actions.
Her presence around the company stirred the interests amongst the employees, and everyone wondered if she was the mistress of Tian Corps. The housekeeper coughed lightly, warning her to watch her actions.
”Oh! Housekeeper Xu, I didn't see you here. How are you doing?” Karen hugged Tian Yuo's arm as she asked politely. It sounded polite, but her actions made him feel disturbed.
”Miss. Karen, I'm doing well. It's quite a surprise to see you back. I'll leave you two alone. Young master Tian Yuo, when you're finished with the food, leave the empty container on the table and I will come to retrieve it later.” He didn't want to stay even a second longer.
”Oh... about that, since Karen is here, you can pack everything back home. I'll have lunch with her at her favorite restaurant.” Hearing Tian Yuo's words made the housekeeper sigh inwardly, ”Alright. I will clean the table for you.”
Tian Yuo told the employees to leave her luggage inside his office before he headed out to eat lunch with her. Housekeeper Xu immediately sent Shen Wen a message telling her about Karen's sudden arrival.
In all honesty, he never felt good vibes coming from Karen. Instead, he thought that Susu was the good mannered and respectful lady from the Yin family, whom he truly admired for the patience that she had for Tian Yuo.
