95 Spilt Milk (1/2)

The conference discussed the idea and the CEO demanded the verbal and formal presentation of Lei Xinyi's proposition.

Li Yuan stood up and adjourned the meeting then without turning around said, ”Ms. Lu come in my office. I would like some consultation regarding the proposition.”

Lei Xinyi gave a hesitant smile, ”Yes sir.”

She knew it was anything but work he wanted to talk about.

She could feel many pairs of eyes on her, some looking at her with awe and admiration, some envy and some outright glaring daggers.

Lei Xinyi collected her things to walk out of the conference and reached the CEO's office.

On the door Lei Xinyi contemplated to walk inside or run for the hills. Her heart was hammering in her chest with a force she knew her chest could rip open out any moment now.

Mustering courage Lei Xinyi raised her knuckles to knock.

Getting permission Lei Xinyi walked inside to see Li Yuan sitting on the sofa in his office doing something on his mobile with packets of exquisite sweets, one look and you could tell they cost out of her league.

Lei Xinyi have had an insatiable sweet tooth since her childhood but she couldn't recognize the brands, telling her they were from overseas.

Lei Xinyi took hesitant steps toward the sofa and sat on the other side of the sofa with professional distance between them.

Sitting on the sofa Lei Xinyi remembered the last time she was here she made out on this very sofa with Li Yuan.

Lei Xinyi had always despised infidels. Some days she even despised herself for being physical with Lu Xinyi's fiancé but the thought that she ran away with a lover and Li Yaun was a seasonal player made it easy for her to rest her conscience.

Lei Xinyi sat on the sofa not knowing what to say or do. Li Yaun was typing on his phone without even looking at her.

Lei Xinyi began inspecting the delicious sweets in front of her but didn't dare touch it. She still had an image to preserve.

As Lei Xinyi was about to open her mouth to say something non-intellectual she saw Li Yuan keep his phone on the table.

”Have I not been obvious?”

Not understanding what he is referring to, Lei Xinyi looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and confusion, ”Excuse me?”

Finally Li Yaun turned to look at her with a serious expression with a clenched jaw and narrowed eyes as if he was trying to suppress his rage.

”Xinyi, don't act like you don't know what I am talking about!” She really didn't know what he was talking about.
