Chapter 422 - We are just friends (2/2)

Ryn stared at her phone speechlessly. She did not even have the chance to say anything before the call ended rather abruptly. That was weird.

Oh well, she shrugged. At least the headache was no longer hurting her head. She still had a little bit of it, though. And she could sleep more. She no longer has to catch up with Mika.

That was more important for her.

Sleep!

She let out a huge yawn and promptly let herself fall back onto the bed. She even wiggled her body and burrowed herself under the thick blanket. So soft. So comfortable.

*~*~*~*

Jeremy was reading a file when the door was knocked on by someone.

”Come in,” he said without looking at the door. He just needed a few more pages to read before he could determine whether the proposal was worth to be approved. He did not even look at the mountain of files besides the monitor. It would make him feel tired.

How long has he been reading these files?

When he reached the office, he managed to read only two files. Rejected of course. And then, he went to the first meeting. Came back and continued reading until the time he had to leave for the second meeting. He even skipped his lunch in order to finish some of the works.

He was determined to finish at least half of them before he went home today. And he also decided to bring some of them home to read. He knew he could no longer hold his work and with his determination to give Ryn some time, he knew he should focus on his work too.

Well, at least he had finished the song arrangements for Mika's wedding. He already gave them to his team to proceed. Of course, he already had someone in his mind for one of the songs, but it would depend on his luck whether he could get this person or not.

”Sir,” Jacon greeted politely.

”What is it?” he asked without looking.

”A representative from the RX company came to see you. Would you like to see them?” Jacob asked.

”They didn't make an appointment?” Jeremy asked as he turned to another page.

”Ah... no, sir. But she insists to see you now. She has a proposal for you,” Jacob said awkwardly. He knew better than to make his own decision for a visitor to see his boss. He would ask first when the person has no appointment before.

Jeremy scrawled something on the last page and put it away. Then, he finally looked at his personal assistant as he clasped his hands together.

”RX company?” he c.o.c.ked an eyebrow. That company sounded familiar but he could not remember where or when he heard it before. ”Just bring her in.”

”Yes, sir,” Jacob nodded and walked to the door. He did not stop at his workstation but headed straight to the lobby where a woman was waiting. He saw her staring at her phone silently, frowning.

”Miss An?” he called politely.

The woman lifted her head and turned to look at him. She smiled but it did not seem to come from her eyes. Her eyes were cold.

Jacob did not like that kind of look but he did not say anything. He politely brought her into Jeremy's office.

”Sir, Miss An from RX Company,” he introduced.

”Good evening, Miss An. To what do I owe you the pleasure for your company?” Jeremy asked as he stood up to welcome her in. But he did not move from his table.

”Hello, Mr. Long. I'm Ellie An from RX Company and I'm representing my company for a proposal,” she replied. She handed a file to him.

”Why didn't you just make an appointment with my assistant so we can have a proper discussion?” Jeremy asked while flipping through the file rather quickly. It did not take a long time for him to finish his reading. He closed the file and pushed it aside. He looked at her with a smile.

”Rather than making an appointment, I'd prefer to meet you on the spot,” Ellia crossed her legs and smiled. This time her eyes shone with interest entwined with arrogance. She just came back from abroad, just having finished her Master Degree and her father already put her in this important position in the company and her first task was to get the contract with this company.

She did not think that with her brain and beauty, the president of this company would reject the proposal. No one would reject when she came in person.
