269 She was stronger now (1/2)

''Long time no see, Liling. ''

When Manager Su heard Richen, she gazed at both of them, a bit surprised.

''You know each other? ''

''Yes, she was a roommate in college. ''

Richen replied and Manager Su smiled.

''That's great; you won't have problems getting along with each other then. ''

Liling forced a smile and walked towards the empty seat which was beside Richen, sitting down she dropped her beg on her laps, not looking at Richen a second time.

She wondered why Richen was suddenly under Manager Su.

''Liling, right now you have over twenty endorsement offers, you won't have to accept all anyways. Just give me a minute, let me finish with Richen, I'll get back to you. ''

Liling smiled as she waited for them to be through.

From what they talked about, Liling understood that Richen had been recommended by someone to Manager Su, and she was about releasing her Album.

It wasn't her business, so gradually; Liling stopped paying attention to them. After sometime, Manager Su concluded and dismissed Richen.

''Bye Liling, see you some other time. ''

Richen smiled_ as though she meant it, but Liling knew her well. She smiled too, with the same degree of pretense.

''Bye. ''

When she closed the door, Manager Su brought out the contract files for Liling to go through. They were twenty three in total and Liling had a tough time reading through them.

She selected the ones which paid more first and then checked the type of endorsements they were. Some were paid partnerships; others were wine brands endorsements and perfume endorsements. By the time Liling finished making her selection, she was left with just seven.

Manager Su took the ones she approved of and put the remaining aside.

''I'll inform you on when you are to meet with each of these companies, for now you are free to go. ''

Liling thanked her before walking out of the office. Remembering that Xin Yong was still in the company, she decided to call to know if  she was through so they would leave together,, but just as she was about to dial her number, someone called her name.

''Liling ''

Liling paused in her tracks, her brows creased irritatingly.  She slowly turned to look at the direction of the sound.

There was Richen, walking towards her with a conceited grin plastered to her face.

Liling sighed.

Why was evil chasing her everywhere she went?

''it's been a long time Liling, I see you are everywhere on the internet, you must be popular now.''

Liling licked her lips. To think that Richen would wait behind just to say that, she was indeed jobless!

''is that why you stopped me? ''

She asked, creasing her brows.
