Chapter 173 - The Pendant (1/2)

”I-I...” Shall I tell him about everything? About who I am?

She took a deep breath. Probably, it would be for the best if he knew it. Maybe, this was the right time for it. Who knows whether she could have the courage to tell him about this?!

Just as she opened her mouth to speak, he spoke up first, ”It's fine. Don't think about it,” He could see the myriad of emotions flashing on her face. If something made her so sad, then he preferred for her to not think about it, ”Just don't cry again or else I will throw you in the swimming pool.”

She blinked, not sure whether she was relieved or she wanted to tell him the truth. She was betting 50:50 on both. She wanted to let him know who she was but there might be some consequences she was afraid of.

”Aye~I can swim like a fish,” Better forget it for now.

He chuckled, relieved that she back to full spirits again.

”You just ignored me outside,” She narrowed her eyes.

”I knew you were jealous,” He laughed, ”I was planning for the future. Who said I was ignoring you?”

”Future?”

”You fight with me all the time. So, I was securing a little defender for myself.”

She punched his chest, ”Zixuan, get that clear. Who fights with whom?”

...

The next day.

”This is how work is done? Lyra, tell me. Do you think your conduct is proper for someone sitting in your position?” Yu Mei threw away the towel to the bed as she sat in front of the dressing.

Putting the phone on the speaker and keeping it on the side, she blow-dried her hair. A small frown persisted between her brows, ”Have you gone mute now? It has been weeks since I've been warning you that don't get Rosette in trouble because of your scandals? Can't you settle such a simple thing in your head?” As much as she tried to be a bit soft with her words, it did not work.

The woman on the other side spoke up after a few seconds of silence, ”President, I did not expect the paparazzi to be there.”

”Do you expect them to send you a text to inform you beforehand!?” She put the blow dryer aside and grabbed her phone, ”Remember that, to the public, you're not Lyra, they know you as Leanne, the President of Rosette. Since you are in that position, you should know how to act decently. Or else I'm sure there will be many women dying to replace you in this task,” She hung up without giving her a chance to speak.

It was not like she was interested in the woman's private life. She could do whatever she wanted and have as many boyfriends as she needed.

Recently, the pendant she had designed back in Shanghai was launched, and unexpectedly the purple rose concept of the pendant was getting attention from the whole world. At a time like this, the President was involved in countless scandals.

Yu Mei did not know what will happen if it went on like this. The last way she had in her mind was that she will step out to claim her position. But she hoped she won't have to resort to that...at least not for now.

After her death and disappearance from Rosette, the company had already dealt with enough losses. Although it was on rise right now, but it will take some more weeks to stabilize everything.
