Chapter 360 - 360: Aggravating Man-Child (1/2)

”Mr. Wei, what do I owe the displeasure?” As the doors of her office burst open, Lillie still didn't retract her eyes from the doc.u.ments she was reading.

”Displeasure? You wound me, Thea.” Wei Fang sighed dramatically. ”Is my presence bothering you that much?”

”Considering that you've trespassed my company without further notice then bothered my father with your tantrum after being refused,” She finally lifted her eyes and shot him an unamused look. ”You still dare to ask and act confused?”

About an hour ago, the receptionist notified her of Wei Fang's unexpected arrival, telling her that said man wished to speak with her.

Slapping him with a hard ”no”, Wei Fang stubbornly stay put even when the security was trying to escort him out as politely as they could.

But somehow, Wei Fang managed to glue himself in the lobby. The employees were a bit intimidated by his status. Of course, they know who he was and his connection with the Empire.

He declared to her employees that he wouldn't leave the building until either Lillie comes down to see him or he goes up to see her.

Wei Fang stood there like a sore thumb, determined to wait until Lillie yields and let him see her.

However, he failed to measure how far her stubbornness goes. Finally acknowledging that there's nothing he could do to budge her, he called her father instead.

Poor Father Bai had enough of the two's hostility—mostly Lillie's—against each other.

They used to be such close friends. It's been years ever since the two had a proper conversation regarding their issues, so he thought it's time for them to try to mend their broken friendship.

Furthermore, the Wei and Bai family's respective companies are in a temporary partnership. Whether Lillie likes it or not, she's bound to interact with Wei Fang more than usual to discuss the flow of their business.

So for Lillie's sake, Father Bai asked her to talk things out with Wei Fang and hear him out. He's not asking her to forgive him, no.

Frankly, Father Bai is still upset with what Wei Fang did to his precious daughter all those years ago until today. He doesn't give a single f.u.c.k if Wei Fang was young and naive at that time. Anyone who wronged his daughter is immediately write down in his hit list.

He hurt his daughter emotionally, broke her trust, and betrayed her. But since they're a.d.u.l.ts now, he trusts his daughter to handle and fix her issues on her own accordingly to her method, and that Wei Fang is mature and old enough to admit his faults.

”I'm a busy woman, Mr. Wei, I don't have time for you at the moment.” Lillie returned her gaze on the paper and waved her hand at him in dismissal, shooing him like swatting an annoying fly.

Frowning, the smile on Wei Fang's lips disappeared at the evident indifference from the cold, silver-haired beauty. ”Won't you hear me out first? I'm sure you have a lot of questions for me, Thea.”

”None of the sort, Mr. Wei. You saw me and received my answers, now leave.” Lillie nonchalantly shifted the doc.u.ments to the next page.

”You're not even a bit curious about why I know something that only a few people know?” Wei Fang challenged. Slowly, he approached Lillie's desk.

”I know your mind is restless, Thea. I would answer whatever questions you have for me. I also would like to talk about what happened to us in the past. Tonight, over dinner, please. After that, I'll stop bothering you about personal affairs.” Wei Fang pleaded, his eyes downcast.
