115 YOU NEED TO OWN I (1/2)
Bo Qian paced in frustration and anticipation in front of an elevator in a certain four-star hotel in Supreme City. He was nervous, afraid and excited. He could not calm down when he thought about the crowd of reporters in the conference room.
”Mr Bo, you should be preparing to address the media.” His assistant spoke to him softly.
”What if Hu Lei fails to make an appearance? I am not leaving this door before she shows up.” Bo Qian said stubbornly.
He could not be blamed for being on edge. Though they had made an agreement and talked extensively in the last month about this event, he could not help remembering her disappearance. She had just vanished without a word.
Therefore, even if he knew he was being excessive, he could not help being nervous. The assistant did not know about the matter from long ago, but she decided not to question further. She stood beside him and waited together.
After another five minutes, the elevator doors opened.
”Hu Lei, you are here!” Bo Qian declared enthusiastically.
Hu Lei looked at him with a small smile.
”Did you think that I would not show up?” She asked with a laugh.
Bo Qian looked a little embarrassed. He had harboured some doubts.
”Good afternoon, Mr Chen.” He greeted Assistant Chen respectfully.
He did not dare to be negligent of this special personal assistant. The man might be low-key, but everyone who knew Zhong Feng understood that he wielded a lot of power. Offending him would not end well.
”There's no need for courtesies. I am merely here as Ms Hu's driver.” He explained.
The response comforted Bo Qian because he wanted everything to go smoothly, without any complications. He turned to Hu Lei and smiled widely. He held deep affection for her and felt that she was his lucky star. If it were not for her, he would probably not have his position today.
”Stop smiling at me. I am already here, aren't I?” She said with mock scorn in her eyes.
”I am just happy that you decided to come back to writing. The world is a less exciting place without Little Ninja Cat.” His eyes turned into crescents as he continued smiling.
”Is it too late to abandon this name?” She sighed in embarrassment.
Hu Lei thought that she would get used to her pseudo-name with time. However, no matter how many times it had been mentioned, she still felt like going back in time and slapping her teenage-self in the face.
”It is a perfect name. You need to own it.” He laughed.
