36 Lying or Nervous? (1/2)

Waking up the next morning, Su Lian is extremely tense. Today, she has a meeting with Han Yuan, the leader of Han Group and the son of the C.E.O.

She feels nervous because the potential progress of Infinity Corp China is riding on the success of this cooperation. It didn't help that the man who is making the final decision has the same name as her ex-boyfriend.

Zipping up the skirt on her navy blue suit, Su Lian walks to the mirror and does a twirl.

”Mommy looks beautiful.”

Su Yichen is sitting on her bed fully dressed in his school uniform. He compliments her from the side with a big smile on his face.

She walks over to him and scoops him up into her embrace.

”Baby, wish me luck.”

”Good luck.”

She covers him in kisses before they drive off to his school together.

On her way to work, Su Lian tries to motivate herself. It was just a meeting and she wasn't going in alone. She will have Ryan and two senior staff members at her side. Their presence will reduce the pressure and make her feel less like an ant, faced with such a giant Corporation.

”You look pale.” At the door of her office, she is stopped by Ryan who hands her a file and a bottle of water.

”Thank you.” Sitting down, she opens the file and reads it. It is all some basic information on the Han Group and Han Yuan more specifically.

”I know most of this so I should be ready. Is this everything?”

Ryan dodges her gaze and stares at the floor with a slightly guilty look on his face.

”You're hiding something, aren't you?”

”No, I'm just nervous too.”

”Just that?” She doesn't ask him anymore because as far as she knows, Ryan has never lied to her.
