Chapter 84 - Deal (1/2)

After several hours of being in the boardroom, the meeting finally ended. Ms Long knew something was wrong and even though it was not her place to ask, she had to. ”Is something wrong Mr Li?”

Silence lingered in the boardroom, which had only Muchen and Ms Long left, with her standing beside him.

After a short while, he spoke. ”You were my friend before you became my Secretary right?” He looked at her for the first time that day.

She nodded and waited for him to continue.

”Then I would love to hear you say something. Not as my Secretary. But as my friend. As Chou Long”

Ms Long gave a small smile and sat down beside him. Today, she was going to be a friend.

He contemplated for a while whether talking to her was a bad idea or not. But he knew he couldn't talk to Minde instead. ”Do you think my parents would like Sara?”

Ms Long instantly understood what he was saying. She didn't bother him into going into much details.

That question had been in Muchen's mind since the other night when he spoke with Jianjun.

”Are you betrothed?” Jianjun asked him.

”I am not. Neither do I have anyone in my life currently” He had simply answered.

”So have you ever considered how your parents would react when they meet Sara?”

Muchen hesitated. He really didn't know how to answer since he didn't care about what his parents thought about her. He only believed his love was the most important thing.

”She's my only child. She is important to this family as much as you are important to yours. I won't send my daughter into a home where she is not accepted” Having said that, he left Muchen there without giving him a chance to respond.

Everything was completely driving him crazy. He didn't know how his parents would react since he had never taken a girl home in the first place. He felt the trouble was piling up. First, he had to bring Sara to his side, then made sure his parents liked her, then convince her father that his parents liked her. When was it ever going to end? He also had a very difficult grandma somewhere.

”You must be crazy if you think I'll go with you” The only reason she was still indulging him even while walking was because she needed the distraction.

”Come on Sara. Are you playing hard to get right now?”
