55 Deal (1/2)

”CEO Mu, you are such a joker,” I chuckled, tucking my loose hair behind my ears.

Mu Yi's side stared at me like I had two heads on my shoulders. Yes, I know, who would believe their demon boss is a joker. If you could not tell he was the spawn of Satan, you would come to learn he is in a short amount of time.

Though, I'll admit I never got to see that side of him in full action. I always seem to miss it by quite a lot whenever I walk in on it by accident. Whenever I do, he'll stop himself almost immediately and dismiss the person he was yelling at. Then he'll return to his usual calm self while expressionlessly asking what do I want.

”I never joke,” Mu Yi narrowed his eyes, moving the folder away with two of his fingers.

Well, this conversation was getting us nowhere. Instantly, I opened up the folder to block our face behind it.

”What do you want in return?” I asked in a low voice, hopefully enough that only he can hear me. Although I highly doubt that! The room was dead quiet that even if I was just mouthing the words, they could all pick up what I was saying.

”You,” Mu Yi answered confidently while staring directly into my eyes with passion in his eyes.

My heart thump against my chest. I've seen those eyes before, those were the eyes I had only for Mu Yi a very long time ago.

”Besides that,” I broke eye contact away from him, and tuck my non-existing loose hair behind my ears again. Always asking for the impossible.

”You,” Mu Yi repeated, moving his face closer towards her behind the folder. He was only a few inches away from touching her face.

Then with his hand, he swiftly loosened up her tucked hair behind her ears. It was a habit of Yun Anong to unconsciously tuck her hair behind her ears when she gets nervous or embarrassed.

I cracked a smirk, showing Mu Yi I wasn't going to give myself up for him for this project. By working with Mu Yi, who is influential in the business world, it would help launch New Image to another level. But at the same time, I could care less if this project was going to be successful or not. I don't need Mu Yi influence to bring New Image up there, and I am sure he is clear on this better than anyone else in this room.

”Alright, I'll agree to your terms with Julian. However, I would like the CEO of New Image to show up to Mu's Corporate every day.”

Mu Yi gave in, if he didn't, he knows Yun Anong will get up and leave. The project with New Image will be over, and that means she will have no reason to continue showing up in front of him.

”Excellent, but only until the project is over. ” I nodded my head, immediately agreeing to Mu Yi's conditions, meanwhile changing up the terms a tad. I didn't want to push my luck too far with him.

Instead of one thump, this time, my heart was rapidly pounding against my chest. Sealing the deal with a light kiss, yeah right, when you actually have to sign these documents in front of me.

Yet, I put down the folder as if I wasn't talking to Mu Yi behind it just a moment ago. Then wiped away the warmth on my right cheek as I tucked my hair behind my ears.

”Please sign here and here,” I gave Mu Yi the papers that I had carried with me the night I went to get Tang Liang. ”Then put your condition here on this blank page.”

Mu Yi didn't hesitate to sign his golden signature away. Anyone who wants to rise into the world of richness knows his signature is a gateway.

During the last blank page, he tried to get away with 'Yun Anong must show up every single day to see Mu Yi'. Which was obviously going against what we had agreed upon on a moment ago. So I ended up changing and adding a few words, such as from 'Yun Anong' to 'CEO of New Image' and 'only until the Wings project is over'.

You can see disappointment all over his usual expressionless face, but he didn't say anything.

”A-are we done?” One of Mu Yi's employee whispered, asking Chu Heng who sat next to her.
