11 THE FINAL DECISION (2/2)
”Hello, sorry to disturb you —”
”Fuck!” Hua Zhendan cursed, interrupting his caller. Recognizing the caller's crispy voice as Xuan Tianyi's, Hua Zhendan had sat up with a speed that gave him a muscle spasm on his back.
”Are you okay?” Xuan Tianyi asked at the other end of the line.
The gentle tone of his voice moved Hua Zhendan for a moment.
Suddenly recalling that the gentle, crispy voice belonged to Xuan Tianyi, Hua Zhendan frowned. Since when did he become a teenage girl who could get easily excited by the sound of someone's voice?
'Even if you're going to fall for someone, don't fall for a player like Xuan Tianyi,' he scolded himself inwardly.
”What do you want?” he asked coldly, choosing to ignore Xuan Tianyi's question.
”I'm sorry if I'm bothering you...”
Hua Zhendan sighed and massaged his temples with his free hand. Xuan Tianyi had bothered him since the first day they met. Why was he apologizing only now?
”It's okay,” Hua Zhendan softened his voice.
”I thought about your offer. If you meant it, I'd like to accept the job,” Xuan Tianyi said.
Hua Zhendan smiled. He told himself that this was a good business investment — a great business decision and nothing more. ”Send me your email address, and I'll send you an electronic version of the contract,” he said. ”Read it this night. Tomorrow morning, come to my office by nine, and we'll discuss it.”
”Okay, thank you,” Xuan Tianyi said.
”No problem,” Hua Zhendan replied.
”President Hua?” Xuan Tianyi called.
”En?”
”I also wanted to apologize for earlier today. I didn't —”
”It's okay,” irritated, Hua Zhendan interrupted him. ”If that's all, goodnight then.”
”Goodnight.”
As Hua Zhendan ended the call, he quickly drafted an electronic contract with a template on his phone and forwarded it to an email address Xuan Tianyi sent him.
As he stared at the email, he struggled to steady his heartbeat.
'Don't be a fool Zhendan, what's good about that boy that's making your heart beat this fast?' he chided himself.
Sighing, he dialed another number.
He heard the receiver at the other end pick. When the receiver said nothing, he asked, ”Hello?”
”Xiao Hua,” the voice at the other end of the line spoke.
”About what we discussed this afternoon, send her to my office tomorrow.”
