25 Digging ? (2/2)

Finally, as the elevator arrived on the first floor, she realized that Zhao Yao did not leave with her, but set his course to the B2 floor; which could only mean one thing- he drove to work.

Noticing this, Sonia looked at the time on her phone and with a hint of hesitation, stayed in the lift with Zhao Yao. Bewildered, Zhao Yao glanced at her and asked what was happening.

Shying down with a touch of embarrassment, Sonia looked at the time on her phone once more and finally mustered all her courage to say, ”I am in a hurry to catch the airplane that is leaving at half past seven, may I trouble you to fetch me there? I can even pay you the fare of a taxi.”

Zhao Yao himself checked the time on his phone, slightly hesitant on agreeing as the airport was indeed a distance away.

Suddenly, it was as if the other side of the Sonia revealed herself.

”I'm sorry, I was really rude to you before, but something urgently cropped up, I really cannot be late, I beg you to send me.” she pressed her palms together sympathetically.

Looking at her white and delicate cheeks, coupled with a pair of big puppy eyes aching for sympathy, Zhao Yao admitted that his heart may have softened for her alluring beauty and sincerity to apologize. But deep down he knew that beauty was the main factor.

Zhao yao nodded and replied, ”Okay come with me.”

Sonia heaved a sigh of relief, ”I am really thankful; I usually take the subway but did not expect such difficulty in getting a taxi after work. I will definitely pay the taxi price to make it up to you.” she exclaimed with much gratitude.

”No problem,” Zhao Yao replied coolly, waving it off.

As Sonia followed Zhao Yao to his car, she was stunned by the unique design of his Porsche Pella Melana.

”What’s the matter? Hop in!” Zhao Yao broke the air of silence from her astonishment as he got into the driver’s seat.

”Oh ... oh ...” Sonia quickly got in the car, sitting in the front passenger seat. At that moment, she started to wonder that perhaps Zhao Yao was not as ordinary as he seemed.

Watching the engine start up, Sonia could not help but ask, ”This car is expensive, right?”

”Okay, a million or so. Although it is also a sports car, a Lamborghini and Ferrari is certainly no comparison to this. ”, Zhao Yao calmly replied

Hearing the figure of 1 million, her eyes lit up and she thought out loud, ”Hmm, that’s not bad.”

Originally, in her eyes, Zhao Yao was just an unscrupulous and employee that was often absent without reason. However, at the moment, under the façade of the Porsche, she realized that he was indeed not as simple as he seemed.

...

On the other side of the office building, just beside the bus stop, Yuan Ying was all smiles with several female colleagues of the administrative department of the company.

Although Zhao Yao will still leave and delay the duration of her project, she was in a good mood today. ”Thousands of dollars in wages and bonuses should be enough to keep him in pain.” she thought to herself.

On seeing the arrival of the shuttle, Yuan Ying did not get on but remained in wait.

”Mary, you are not boarding the shuttle?” her colleagues reminded. Mary was Yuan Ying's English name.

Yuan Ying shook her head and said, ”No, my husband is picking me up today.”
