Chapter 205 - Sick (1/2)
”...They asked me to be a part-time model for their products and they are willing to pay me as well.”
Yu Mei frowned. As a princess, Mia was that proper example of a prodigal spendthrift. She was more interested in exploring the world, going to bars, wine, men, and money. Work was not something that was ever available in her 'to-do list'. ”You know you don't have to do this. I can give you all my money to squander and it will still not end,” She stretched her neck feeling a slight ache in the back.
”I have to set good examples for you as an elder sister,'' Mia shrugged.
”Do whatever makes you happy,” Yu Mei chuckled. She was damn sure that Mia would soon get over this and be back to her carefree routine. Work and commitments were impossible for the woman but she did not find it necessary to stop her. There is nothing bad in experiencing everything.
”You look tired. Go sleep.”
”How will you sleep?” Yu Mei frowned looking at the woman's flushed and sweaty face.
Mia swiftly transformed into her fox form before swishing her tail elegantly, ”It is still cool inside the refrigerator.”
”_”
The next day, Yu Mei had to go over to the headquarters of Rosette for a board meeting. Now that her identity was out, she took her own sweet time to know her employees by their CVs. She stayed in the company for a few hours and sorted out the work piling up over the last few days,
”President, are you leaving?” Director Xiang asked as he received the files from her hand.
”Yes,” She removed her shades and tilted her face to the side to look at him, ''I'll have to thank you for everything. Claiming my position would have been much difficult if it wasn't because of you.”
”That's nothing,” The old man laughed.
She smiled, ”You don't need to address me so formally. I don't mind if you call me lass as usual,” With that said, she turned around and left, leaving the old man stunned.
In her previous life, she was way too ambitious about the success of the Rosette that she did not pay attention to anything else. To her, they were just her employees and she was their employer. But this time, they felt like a family to her.
It was probably because she got to see everything from a new perspective or because they stuck together through the tough times.
She got inside the car before taking out her phone. A few notifications popped up directing her to another website. There was news about her brother, his current whereabouts, and everything else. There were a few pictures of him posted on social media too with girls swooning over the man in the comment section. And finally, everything felt kind of normal to her.
In the past few months, no matter how she tried she could not find anything about him on the tabloids or anywhere else. It looks like this was his way of assuring her that he was fine.
She smiled and liked the picture.
Her phone started ringing at the moment. She glanced at the caller ID before answering the call, ”Shuang?”
”Mei, will you accompany me somewhere? I want you to go with me to meet someone,” Li Shuang spoke up from the other side.
Yu Mei paused as she glanced at the time on her wristwatch, ”Alright then. I'm on my way to your apartment. ”
By the time they reached their destination, the sky was turning dark.
”So, where is this place?” Yu Mei asked as they stopped the car near an enormous mansion, ”And who are we meeting?”
Li Shuang glanced at her, ”My Grandfather. He is also the founder of our University.”
The founder of Imperial University? Yu Mei raised an eyebrow, ”Any more bombs you plan to drop on me?”
