Chapter 126 - Phantom Plan (6) (2/2)

After Jason left the room, Jin Xiangdong stared at the document on the computer screen. It was the information of Lu Jia’er’s boyfriend—Ian, a thirty two-year-old orphan. His chinese name was Song Hui and was adopted by an american couple when he was at the age of ten. He graduated from Harvard Business School and is now the CEO of an international energy corporation.

Jin Xiangdong had verified Ian’s information. it was absolutely true and flawless. However, how he had become Lu Jia’er’s boyfriend all of sudden was truly puzzling.

Knock knock!

“Come in.” Jin Xiangdong moved the mouse pointer with his slender finger and deleted the document as he said coldly.

The door cracked open, it was Lu Jia’er. She approached Jin Xiangdong, one step after another. Her face and body were extremely familiar to Jin Xiangdong. However, the feeling was strangely distant.

“Mr Jin, you were looking for me?” Lu Jia’er asked graciously.

“Take a seat,” said Jin Xiangdong.

Lu Jia’er sat down, her eyes swept past Jin Xiangdong. This man had actually called her his girlfriend when they first met. He was stunningly attractive with a cold demeanor.

At this time, Jin Xiangdong was staring at her as well. His penetrating gaze was as if sizing her up which sent a chill up her spine.

‘This man was so awkward!’

“Mr Jin, what’s the matter?” Lu Jia’er was cold and distant to those she was not familiar with.

Lu Jia’er had always addressed him formally even during informal occasions when everyone else called him by his name—Ace when there was just both of them.

“It’s about termination.” Jin Xiangdong hesitated for a while but had finally spat out the words.

Lu Jia’er was stunned after listening to Jin Xiangdong. He called her his girlfriend when they first met and actually dismissed her the second time they met.

“Termination?” Lu Jia’er asked for confirmation.

“Yup,” Jin Xiangdong answered.

“If I am not mistaken, my contract lasts for three years. Can I know why you would terminate me all of a sudden?” Lu Jia’er was full of doubt.

“Your profession does not really suit our team’s project. Rest assured, BUA will pay the compensation for terminating the contract,” said Jin Xiangdong.

“Forget about the compensation. I just feel that the dismissal is somewhat unexpected.” although Lu Jia’er was surprised with the dismissal, her emotions were indifferent.

Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong stared into Lu Jia’er’s eyes. He was the one who invited her to join the team in person. Now that he had actually dismissed her. Naturally, Lu Jia’er would refute. However, she was incredibly calm and composed.

He did not know if she was truly the Lu Jia’er that he knew before.

“Er Er,” Jin Xiangdong called out to Lu Jia’er by her nickname softly.

Slightly stunned, this was the second time Lu Jia’er met Jin Xiangdong and she had nothing about him in her memory. However, the tenderness flashed in his eyes seemed to have a deep affection for her.

“Mr.Jin, no offence, do I resemble your ex girlfriend?” Lu Jia’er stared at Jin Xiangdong as she asked.

“Er Er, how do you manage to not have any difficulty pretending that you don’t know me? But I don’t mind.” Jin Xiangdong stared back at her.

“What? Mr.Jin, maybe I do look like your ex girlfriend, but this is really the second time I’ve met you.” Lu Jia’er’s eyes were full of doubts but her face was indifferent.

If she was truly acting, she could truly win the best actress award.

“This is the second time you met me?” Jin Xiangdong looked at Lu Jia’er with a mysterious gaze.

Lu Jia’er could hardly handle the way he stared at her. Even if Jin Xiangdong was cold and aloof, his eyes were full of tenderness. If Lu Jia’er did not have a boyfriend, she would definitely fall for him.

“Since Mr.Jin thinks that my profession is a mismatch for your project, I should leave. Please give me the termination letter.” The situation was growing increasingly awkward. Lu Jia’er quickly changed the topic.

That was the Lu Jia’er that he was familiar with—quick and decisive..

Jin Xiangdong was lost in wonder. If Lu JIa’er was the industrial spy, she would definitely strive to stay in the company. Now that she had actually agreed with the dismissal decisively, was she beating Jin Xiangdong at his own game?

“I will get someone to prepare the letter and send it to your office shortly,” Jin Xiangdong said calmly.

“Alright, if there is nothing else, I will leave now,” said Lu Jia’er.

Jin Xiangdong merely nodded. Lu Jia’er got up and turned to walk out the door.

Watching Lu Jia’er leaving, Jin Xiangdong’s heart was full of doubts and contradictions. Lu Jia’er was a huge mystery. He could still remember all the moments he spent with Lu Jia’er and they were flashing through his mind. However, he knew that Lu Jia’er was not acting. She had truly forgotten about him.

His heart was broken. The next second, Jin Xiangdong got up and left his seat.

Just as Lu Jia’er reached out to the door handle, her hand was wrapped in a big warm hand, her body was pressed against the door by Jin Xiangdong.
