Chapter 6：Proposal (1/2)

Song Ren sat in front of her desk at one of the pharmacies she manages. It was her favourite store, though she does not know, particularly why. She dismissed the overnight manager so she could take the night shift.

What made Song Pharmaceuticals a successful company was that their pharmacies were opened day and night and encouraged walk-in's providing affordable medicine for all patients.

Song Ren was looking over essential documents related to the company, as she placed a palm over her head, unable to comprehend the news she received that night.

Her palm was also sore. She had never hit someone hard before in her life, but she was glad it was her brother, as he would forgive her, eventually.

In the past, she always thought her brother would be the next Chief Executive Officer, and she would be there to support him, not lead. She never thought of herself as a leader.

Her troubled thoughts were interrupted when she heard a customer walk in, ”Hello—Su Feng?” she greeted and questioned.

Su Feng changed from his eveningwear and wore something that screamed wealth. He wore a sandy coloured Brunello jacket over a black cashmere cardigan.

He looked as dashing as the day she met him, but that was in physicality, as Song Ren finds him repulsive in every other way.

”Why are you here?” she asked, irritated. She began to sort bottles of pills on the shelves neatly to keep busy.

Su Feng scoffed a laugh, ”I suppose coming to propose would not suffice as an answer?” he said.

Song Ren paused to turn to him, laughing in ridicule. ”And here I thought proposals were to be romantic, and yet you haven't kneeled, nor do I see a ring, and we are in the middle of a pharmacy.”

Su Feng's expression changed, ”If I were to buy you a ring and kneel, will you accept?” He asked with a deep and smoky yet playful tone. He was testing her, toying with her as he did in the past.

Song Ren felt like trembling, but she stopped herself from shaking. She recalled all the times he tormented her.

Song Ren gave him a harlequin smile and said, ”Su Feng, do me a favour, and fuck off.” Song Ren returned to shelving the bottles of medicine. But Su Feng clenched his fist, seemingly hurt and irritated.
