Chapter 49 - 49. Arrogance (1/2)
Ruri stayed rooted there for a while, she didn't know what to feel but she still calmed herself down.
Yes, she was overthinking it, maybe her ZiXuan was really too busy and hence gave such orders.
He was never someone with many words to say, yes, he didn't mean to reject her, he was just being precise, yes, that must be it!
She stabilized her trembling body, she was never someone who could suffer even the tiniest bit of hurdle in her life, she proclaimed to be self-made but she never knew what an obstacle was because she was always protected by her family.
She thought this world was just like this, as long as, she had her talent and passion everything will fall on her lap, she never tried to notice the protection of her family and never valued it and wanted to 'build' herself on her 'own'.
Well, god did play with her because in the end the only thing she ever found hard was to get the love of Qin ZiXuan, she was born with a golden spoon, has been under the wings of her family forever; even the toughest of jobs like her need to walk in the A-country's Spring Fashion Week which would have placed her in the pinnacle of C-country's supermodels' ranks and a place in the top 20 supermodels of the world, fell on her lap just from a call to the organizing committee by her parents; but she finally found her 'retribution', it was a one-sided love from the beginning and no matter the work she put up in to it, it was destined to fail, you see, our power couple are fated ba.
Unaware of such things, she gracefully held her head up and walked outside the room with Secretary Qian by her side after saying a simple, ”Thank you.”
After she got out of the building, she found her manager outside the building, waiting for her.
When she reached her, her manager Nian Xi, a petite and strict looking woman in her early 30s, hurriedly helped her in so as not to be shot by paparazzi.
Once inside, Nian Xi asked with a soft voice, yes, she appeared strict but was soft to this princess who was the young miss of her family's benefactors, the Xun family-
”You came back rather early, was CEO Qin busy?”
Ruri gave a soft reply, ”hmm”
”Ruri, you have a packed schedule. We can't push it, if you're done here, we should go back ba”, Nian Xi told her patiently.
Ruri was not the type to throw her temper and get irritated but she easily sulked and it took everything to get her mood back and hence this slow discussion.
Not getting a reply, Nian Xi was getting slightly edgy only to see Ruri in a daze.
Just when she thought to push her for an answer when she heard Ruri's almost muffled voice-
”We didn't meet. He was out for work and seemed busy and--” she trailed off.
