Chapter 177 - A Dark Secret (2/2)

A man spoke whilst heading towards them with a beautiful secretary beside him.

”Li Zi, this is President Zhu Lan.” Wang Ji said.

Elizabeth greeted the old man but felt a strange seeing how he was looking at her. She observed how his secretary was dress and moved just indicate what type of person President Zhu Lan is.

”President Zhu Lan, an honor to meet you.” Elizabeth forced a smile disgusted being in contact with such a man.

From what Wang Ji explained, President Zhu was just appointed president lately since his brother was ill and is unable to continue with work. But rumors said that President Zhu has not handled the company well but since the company is a well-established magazine it did not show such a great decline.

As Zhu Lan continues to embrace the girl, Wang Jin cleared his throat as he tried to help her escape from the beast. ”If you excuse us, President Zhu, we need to meet Director Xia Tu.”

”Very well…” Zhu Lan said whilst giving an unfriendly looked at Wang Jin.

As the two of them walked away from President Zhu, Elizabeth took a deep breath as she finally was able to breathe and relax, ”Thank you.”

”I'm sorry Li Zi…” Wang Ji disappointedly said.

”It's fine.”

...

In one of the private rooms, Wang Ji was finalizing everything with Director Xia as they sighed and confirmed everything for the photoshoot.

”Then Mr. Wang, my secretary will contact you in regards to the detail of the shoot.” Director Xia Tu said.

”Director Xia thank you for the opportunity.” Wang Ji shook hands with the man.

”Thank you, Director.” Elizabeth smiled.

”You are indeed fascinating Li Zi, I can see why the President was so eager to have you for the shoot.” Director Xia sighed as he felt concern for the girl since he saw such purity in the girl's eyes yet she about to enter the beast cave and soon will be devoured. ”Anyways, if anything goes wrong please don't hesitate to call me.”

Elizabeth was dumbfounded when she notices the worries in the man's eyes. She left it be for now and repeated, ”Thank you again, Director.”

As they partway, Elizabeth could not help wonder why everyone seems to be imiting such disgusted aura against President Zhu. The fact he was known to be a faithful husband to his wife and a good father to his children. Yet everyone seems to see a different side of him. Like his brother, he too shows great talent when it comes to handling people and business that why his brother asked him to handle the company while he was away. But from what she just witness it seems there's a dark secret that will soon be unraveled.

Elizabeth sat on the driver seat for a moment whilst reflecting on things, she then recalls she still has something important to do. She grabs her phone and called someone...

”Uncle, I'm heading to the academy now.”

The girl then ended the call as she started the car engine, she steps on the gas as she rushed down the highway to the academy. Ignoring what happened earlier...
