37 Ism Just A Boss? (2/2)

”Wow, really?” Wang Yi-An was very excited. However, for a moment when she looked at the phone, she paused, and she saw that it was an expensive brand. ”I… Can't take this.”

”Why can't you?” He was puzzled, how could he think that she would be excited about it at first, and then suddenly refuse the offer.

”The phone I have right now was given to me by someone significant. I can't…” She said, there was a bit of sadness in her voice when she looked at the new phone in the bag.

Wang Yi-An's eyes were beginning to tear up. Yang Tian-Xu notices it. He couldn't help but go over to her side, and he pulled her into his embrace.

Wang Yi-An was shocked by his sudden movement. Wang Yi-An didn't struggle, nor did she push him away. In fact, she felt like he was comforting her. Yang Tian-Xu's gentle embrace made Wang Yi-An felt like it was alright for her to feel this way.

The tears in Wang Yi-An's eyes were let out, and she cried. Yang Tian-Xu let her cry out, but he didn't say anything. He didn't ask her why. Yang Tian-Xu only wanted to keep holding her in his arms as she cried.

Even though Yang Tian-Xu wanted to know, but he won't ask. Yang Tian-Xu suddenly remembered the first time he saw her crying. It was that time when she talked to Assistant Tseng about the disappearance of the Medaria. Wang Yi-An had once mentioned that she also had someone important to her on that missing flight.

Perhaps the old phone that Wang Yi-An had been using for a long time now was given to her by this same person? ”Just who is it that can make you feel such sadness that causes you to cry?” those are the thoughts of Yang Tian-Xu as he continued to embrace her gently in his arms.

For a while, Wang Yi-An had a good cry; she finally stopped, and she looked at him in his eyes and told him. ”Thank you. I needed that.”

Wang Yi-An smiled at him, and they shared another moment of silence. Yang Tian-Xu saw Wang Yi-An smiled at him again, and he felt better. At first, when she cried in his arms, he felt a deep pain in his heart. Yang Tian-Xu couldn't understand why, but every time he saw her tears, he would think like that.

The pain was a sharp aching pain inside his heart. It was as if someone had taken a thousand needles and stabbed him with it repeatedly. That aching pain, he could only imagine that perhaps she was feeling that way too? Yang Tian-Xu smiled at Wang Yi-An, he lifts his right hand up and wipes her tears.

”Anytime you need someone to talk to, or even cry too. I wanted to be here for you.” He gently wiped the other side of her cheek with his finger, and he continued, ”I wanted to be there when you needed someone, even if it's something small.”

As she looked at him, and he felt like he was in a dream, he told her ”I want to be a part of it all.” The gentle and caring voice of Yang Tian-Xu had put a stop to her tears.

Yang Tian-Xu wanted to show her just how much he cared for her. Perhaps she could understand his feelings for her this way?

”Thank you, President Yang! You are indeed a good man! An excellent boss!” She said as she gave him a cheer-up smile.

Yang Tian-Xu's feelings had languished, and so he could only sigh, and smiled back at her. ”So I really am just a boss…” he thought to himself as he drowns himself in his misery.
