Chapter 197 - Handsome for nothing (2/2)

He had been living guiltily with that thought for years. If it had not been him, his family would have still been alive by now. Everyone would have been happy.

How sad!

On the taxi home, Minde dozed off. When his head hit the window, he jolted awake and spoke in a loud and annoyed voice, totally startling the driver.

”Jesus! Do people work for such long hours? I am Li Minde! How could they ask me to serve them coffee?” He scoffed loudly while he angrily took off the round-framed unmedicated glasses he was wearing as part of his disguise.

In summary, his day was terrible. Totally terrible! He had to run errands for everyone like a slave and when he slacked off or didn't know what to do, they complained and said annoying things like 'Handsome for nothing' or 'Such a waste of good looks' blah blah blah.

Who did they think they were to treat him like a scum? He was a prince!

In annoyance, he used a hand to ruffle his hair. He hated the way it was styled like he was a highschool kid.

Was all of this really necessary?

He so badly wanted to see the look on all their faces the moment he announces to them that he was CEO Li's beloved cousin.

A quick image of the team leader suddenly flashed in his mind. ”Kim Eva” He said her name out.

She was pretty no doubt. But she looked cold. He remembered her gentle and lovely voice when she said ”Eric Wu. Glad to have you here”

At that point, he realised the value his real name held but he had been taking it for granted.  He believed if they all knew he was Li Minde, especially her, she would have tried to get closer to him.

But because he was Eric Wu, she kept reminding him to abide by the rules and regulations. Oh... He was also told not to ever go to the top floor where the CEO was residing.

'He is my cousin. I am his beloved cousin' He screamed in his mind the entire day.

”Arghh” He pulled his hair in frustration.

When he remembered he was still wearing a tie, he widened his eyes like he couldn't believe that he had not taken that off ever since. He quickly undid the knot and tossed it on the other side of the vehicle.

The driver looked at him through the rearview mirror, wondering why he had to carry this crazy man of all the men and women on the street.

”You all just watch. I'll show you all that I am still me. That even as Li Minde, Eric Wu or any other scumbag's identity I have to live by, you'll all still fall for my charm. Even you Kim Eva” He spoke with resolve.
