Chapter 381 - Something like a mother will feel for her daughter. (1/2)

Disconnecting the call, Lifen turned to look at the man. There were hints of alcohol in his breath but he was not drunk. Turning to face him, she asked ”So how was your dinner?”

Deming looked at her and smiled, ”It was good. What about you? I heard that you returned home early today.”

Lifen looked at him, waited for some moments and then nodded. ”Yes, I had my work done early today, so got home a little before. I called you but maybe you have got some real urgent work to do that's why you did not get time to call me back”. Her words were just not the answer to his question but she has also made sure to let him know that she has started to see the changes in him.

The man smiled as he looked at her, ”Of course I knew that you had called but sorry wasn't able to take your call since I was in the middle of a meeting. And that meeting was really a little important for me. What? Were you feeling being ignored?”

”Important? Is everything fine with the company?” she asked. Since the man has himself said the meeting was a little important then there must be something deep into this.

Deming lips arched up in a smile when he found her so concerned. ”Haha … there is nothing serious. You don't have to worry so much. It's just after a very long time I have got a client whom I have really thought to be worthy of my time. So I was just making things as per her likings. That's it!”

Lifen raised her brows up in amus.e.m.e.nt. Did he just say that he was making things as per some others liking?

”Your client really seems to be someone very capable this time. She is making you give in as per her demands. Interesting!”, there was a sarcasm in her tone. Saying this she did not wait and walked past him, getting back to her bed.

It took some time for Deming to understand the exact meaning behind her words. He looked at her all surprised, ”Are you getting jealous?”

”Huh? Who is getting jealous? I am just telling you the truth. Look at yourself, you are so out of your way today. You did not pick up my call, went to have dinner and also not to forget you have come getting tipsy. I doubt, was all this something in your character?” she said and then picked up a file from the bedside table, pretending to check it while flipping the pages.

Deming smiled at her cuteness. She was clearly jealous but was still not accepting it. Looking at her like this he had an urge to tease her more. From last week she has been teasing him with the name of that young model of her company, now she will taste the sour taste of her own medicine.

He walked to the bed, while removing his suit blazer. ”Yes, if I give some serious thoughts to your words then I can't deny it too. This deal and the client both have some charms that are making me change for it. It might be because I am really very much eager to reach its output. So yes, I agree to your words”

Lifen's eyes instantly got narrowed as she turned to look at him. ”Really? That's great! At least now I can say that you will get a little serious. Good! Now I will go and take my dinner. Since you have already taken your fill, you might not need it. But for me, I have not gone out for any business dinner. So … take your time and enjoy the thoughts of your charming client and deal”

She said, stood up and walked out, without giving much thought. But before leaving the room she did not forget to remind him again. ”Also, if you don't want yourself out from this room then don't forget to remove that pungent smell from your clothes and body”

Deming was all confused about which smell she was talking about. But when he took his own whiff, he understood her words. He was confused. How did the smell get so strong to get on his body? He has not been that near to Xue Ping Ruo.

He was about to explain something to her but she has already left. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. ”How is it? Did the man say anything?” he asked in a strict voice.

”No, Leader! We have tried all of our measures on him but he is still not saying anything. I think there is not much there in his knowledge too, or he is thinking everything is going too easy for him. He is not at all scared of us”, the person from the other side of the line said. His voice laced with slight disappointment.

”Too easy for him? Then treat him a little tougher. For what are you hesitating?” he said in all nonchalance.

”But leader, he might die. He is already near his death” the man said with slight hesitation.

”Is his life something for us to care. If he has no desire to live, then give him a beautiful death. A death where he gets both the meaning and the reason of his death” he said as if he was talking about presenting someone a precious gift. With his tone no one would say that it was a command for someone's death.

”Yes Leader!” the man on the other side said, accepting the orders.
