”Now, let this big sister know what your plans are.”
Wang Yuvin was about to answer the question but his stomach let out a loud growl.
They stared at each other with amusement. Wang Reiji tipped her head back and roared with laughter.
”Hahaha! Looks like we need to fill that empty stomach of yours. I'll head down first to oversee the lunch preparation. See you!” Wang Reiji announced as she walked toward the door,their conversation interrupted by the noise of Wang Yuvin's stomach.
”Okay! Be there in 15 minutes.” Wang Yuvin then walked leisurely to the shower to take a quick bath and fix his disheveled appearance.
--------------------
A woman gracefully descended from her mansion's grand staircase as the natural light from the glass dome overhead shone on her attractive face.
Her metallic rhinestone detailed ankle-wrap heels moved fluidly against the carpet with elaborate golden designs and black tapestries.
Everything was right about the scene-- except for the woman herself.
As soon as the she reached the marble floor, a middle-aged woman who seemed like her assistant was already waiting for her, nervous and slightly shaking.
”Lady Xur, you have an invitation from Oriental Europa. The hotel is inviting you to attend their masquerade ball at the end of the month.”
”Masquerade ball? Interesting. You know what to do, right?” Huang Xur asked as she sat down on the couch,crossed her leg and signaled her assistant to move closer.
The assistant reluctantly obeyed, her nervousness multiplied, her wrinkles increased. According to office rumors, this lady boss' outer features do not mirror her inner nature -- that behind her charming looks was an atrocious b*tch who's ready to give anyone a good a beating whenever she felt displeased.
”Yes, Lady Xur. In fact, I already set a meeting with the top couturiers of Beijing.” The assistant answered, her hands trembling, heart pounding.
Huang Xur did not react, causing her assistant to feel even more worried.
Was that a wrong move? Was she supposed to wait for her go signal before she arranged a meeting?
The lingering silence had started choking the assistant as if a pair of invisible hands were depriving her of oxygen.
”I want you to do two more things for me.” Alas! Huang Xur spoke.
”I want you to find out Prosecutor Zhang's schedule and arrange me a dinner meeting with him. And if you think you cannot accomplish these tasks before the event comes, I suggest you go find another job. Understood?”
The poor assistant swallowed a lump in her throat before she answered.
