Chapter 242 Three conditions (2/2)
Reading one of the papers, Lu Tian frown in thoughts. Yet, it didn't take long for him to come to a decision.
He reach for the pen in the inner pocket of his suit jacket and signs both papers. Handing one piece to Xu Long, he keeps the other one.
”I agree to the three conditions.”
Hearing the answer, the woman sighed in relief. If she wasn't putting on a professional act, she would have patted herself on the back for being here.
”Thank you, Mr. Lu.”
Xu Long walks back to the woman and hands her the signed copy of the conditions. As they trade, he couldn't help but feel the woman slightly grip the jade box tightly. It was a quick second, but that quick second did not escape his senses.
He slightly pout his lips and walks back to his boss with the jade box in his hands. He carefully set it down and takes a step back.
From across the room, the woman pressed her lips together and watched everything. She swore, her heart had stopped when Xu Long took the box away. She was very reluctant to let L'amour de ma vie go.
It wasn't because she wanted the ring for herself, but because of her boss.
In the past, there was never a day her boss did not look at the ring. To others, L'amour de ma vie is a ring worth millions, but to her boss, it was the proof of an unconditional love that remained even after death.
For everyday she went to work, she would always see the look of love and longing in her boss's eyes.
However, as reluctant as she is at this moment, her boss's decision is firm and no one can change it.
The woman close her eyes and takes a deep breath to steady her aching heart for her boss. When she open her eyes again, every trace of feelings inside vanished.
”Mr Lu, I have finished my purpose of this visit. I do hope that will you keep your words to my boss.”
Without any intentions to stay longer, the woman stood from her seat and close the suitcase. She bows in respect to Lu Tian and leaves the room.
Watching the woman leave, Xu Long was dumbfounded. He could not believe what he was seeing. His cold and ruthless boss was not bothered by the fact that the other person left the room just like that!
Dear god, has his boss gone.... mad?
He blinked his eyes a few time and glance at Lu Tian again. However, he was even dumbfounded.
Lu Tian's eyes did not leave the jade box at all. He lift a hand and his fingers gently caress the box. From a distance the box looked simple, but seeing it up close, there were small yet detailed engravings on the outside.
Thinking of his wife, a faint smile curl on his lip.
Seeing this, Xu Long clench his chest like he was having a heart attack. It was the faintest smile in the universe, but nothing escapes his 20/20 vision.
Dear god, his boss has gone mad!!
”Put this in a secured place until all preparations are ready.”
”Yes, sir!”
Xu Long without thinking quickly answers with a salute. However, he scratch his head and looks at the jade box.
”Boss, you're not going to look inside? What if theh trade it with a fake?”
Lu Tian stare with heavy eyelids at his assistant. Was he someone easily fooled? Of course not!
Standing up, he fix his suit jacket and leaves the room. He didn't need to open the jade box to check, because he understood the meaning behind the three conditions.
”I trust H International.”
Although the first two conditions were simple, it showed how much H International's CEO had care for the ring. If H International was to give him a fake ring, the money he transferred would not have been the third condition.
*ring ring*
Just when Lu Tian stepped out of the room, his phone suddenly rings. He frown and takes his phone out from his pocket.
Seeing who the caller is, his frown deepen.
*ring ring*
The phone rings again and he answers the call with a slightly annoyed expression.
”Hello.”
[”Tian, come home, it's important.”]
