Chapter 267 - A STORY FOR LATER (1/2)
SHEN YI MU wiped the melancholic feelings he felt and proceeded on looking on the papers on his desk. It was Sunday but he was in his office working. It's not something that's out of the ordinary. There's a lot of things he needed to take care of in the company. So, sometimes he went here even if it's the weekends. It's not like the popular belief that a CEO like him just sat back in their big villa and let his subordinates do all the work. If he wanted his gaming company to become more successful, then he had to put in equal amount of effort.
Some time later, he heard a knock on the door. He told whoever it was to enter and Zhao Cheng walked inside. The other was tall and well-built. His black hair looked stiff as if he hadn't washed it for a few days now. His clothes were also crumpled, as if he didn't even bother ironing them. There were obvious stubbles on his face. The whole person looked messy. If someone met him on the street, they would think that he's some jobless idler instead of the head of a well-known gaming company's programming department.
”Ah Cheng, I told you to at least dressed yourself properly while you're in the company. Aren't you embarrassed walking around looking like that?”
”Not really,” Zhao Cheng shrugged, plopping himself on the couch inside the wide office.
Shen Yi Mu could only shake his head. This guy hadn't always been this sloppy. This habit only started last year when Zhao Cheng and his lover separated. After that, this guy seemed to not care anymore about how he looked. If not for his work here, he might just burrow himself in his condo unit.
”If Ah Xing sees you like this, he might have a heart attack.”
Zhao Cheng's eyes flashed a bit and then he snorted. ”That guy won't see me like this since he won't be coming back. He already chose that Du bastard. He probably wouldn't even care if I die in a ditch somewhere.”
That's right. Zhao Cheng's lover was a man. He had been with Zhao Cheng since the other was just a fresh graduate, starting at the company. That would be almost a decade now. Shen Yi Mu also became friends with him. He truly believed that what happened between the two was just pure misunderstanding. But that misunderstanding already lasted for a year. He doubted if it could be easily fixed now.
He hoped that the two wouldn't end up like him and Jiang Yue. But both were stubborn as a mule. The two never really had a big fight before this. There were small quarrels but never this big. That's why when it happened, both sides didn't want to give in. Thus, resulting to the current situation.
”Hey, don't talk like that. I already told you that it must be a misunderstanding. If you only try talking to Ah Xing, I'm sure everything would be cleared up. You do know where he is, right?”
”I won't go,” Zhao Cheng stubbornly said. ”It's always me who gives in. Every single time, I'm always the one who came running after him. No matter if it was my fault or not. If everything was really just a misunderstanding, why couldn't he just explain himself to me? Why is it that it's still me who have to run after him just to hear his explanation? So, Boss shouldn't persuade me anymore. Because I won't go.”
Shen Yi Mu sighed. He knew there's no use persuading the other so he just stopped. ”Do you have anything to report to me?” he just asked to change the subject.
