Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 56
Advertisement
Before the war of words could go on, more people entered the office.At the sight of the four people standing there in what was apparently stand off, the old men ignored the tension, greeted old chairwoman Lu and then nodded at the other three girls in the room. Shan Shan finally recovered from her shock and gracefully guided all the guests into the small conference room on the other side of the floor.Soon another man was guided onto the floor and arrogantly introduced himself to Shan Shan as the corporate lawyer of Lu Yeona. Coolly,Shan Shan guided the man into the room as well.She then looked at Xie Eun who had not made her way into the conference room in question. Shan Shan wondered that maybe Xie Eun was eeling nervous.She could estimate that they were almost the same age and felt that she would be nervous too.She was about to go forward and encourage her but just then another man walked in..Shan Shan almost squealed when she saw the man.He was so much older but so handsome..He was her God of Law!"The Shark!" was here.Dressed in a dark grey British suit,he walked in nonchalantly and gave a small smile to Shan Shan by way of greeting and introduced himself."Hello.My name is Neil Long.I am here to represent Miss Xie Eun."
Shan Shan gulped and reminded herself to breathe as she pointed out to the girl who had just turned around on hearing her name!The slight glimpse of the wedding ring on the man's hand brought her back from dreamland as she reminded herself that such a beautiful man was already taken. So this was the reason that Xie Eun had not gone in..Maybe grandfather was mistaken and XIe Eun was not some village girl..She had just the right connections all of whom were on top of the food chain.It was not easy to get Neil Long of Lance Inc from country C to support her..

Xie Eun was also dazed as the man walked towards her.He really was beautiful..But the fleeting teenage thought was soon curbed and Xie Eun pasted a small smile on her face and went forward to introduce herself.
"Hello,Mr Long.Thank you for coming forward to help me."
Neil Long smiled and said,"It is no trouble. After all you are a student of one of the best and most sort after businessmen in this country.I like to collect favors.Thanks to you,he will owe me one."
Xie Eun did nit know how to reply to this one.She,for one, owed Wolf multiple favors which she will have to repay someday.Neil Long could see that his client was uncomfortable with the talk so he turend to the secretary and spoke,"Miss Wen?Why don't you guide us to the conference room?"
Shan Shan was stunned to hear her name from her God's mouth and unthinkingly widened her eyes and asked,"Sir,hhhow do you kniw my name?"
Neil Long gave an amused smirk at this and replied nonchalantly," Clairvoyance."
Shan Shan kept blinking blankly,until Xie Eun softly stepped to her side and slowly whispered,"Your Identity Card.."
The soft whisper woke Shan Shan from her stupification as she realised that her God knew her name because of her Id!"
Clearing her throat awkwardly,she led the two people into the conference room and then speeded away lest she embarass herself anymore.She wondered maybe she had dropped her brains somewhere today...She could swear she was a smart woman.. most of the time..
When Xie Eun had failed to make an appearance after everyone entered,old chairwoman Lu once again underestimated her felt that the girl was overreaching herself...But then she entered with the biggest international corporate lawyer and suddenly everything and every plan they had made seemed to disintegrate in front of her.Soon ,lawyer Wen entered the meeting room followed by Shan Shan who was clutching a notepad to her chest as if her life depended on it. Deciding that aggression was the only way that could get her what she wanted, Chairwoman Lu opened her mouth but before she could say anything more than Hello, Lawyer Wen spun around and turned on the big projector screen..It showed the live news stream of Alpha Group Of Companies and their legal department head standing there greeting the media..

Harry Potter and the Seer's Ambition
After Voldemort came back at the end of the triwizard tournament, Harry tried his best to inform the wizarding world that he was back but faced with denial and ridicule, Harry could only fume in anger. Little did he know that Voldemort wasn’t the biggest threat he would have to face. Receiving power from unexpected sources and armed with Information he didn’t expect to have, Harry sets out on a mission to bring the dark lord and his followers down and uncover one of the world’s least known secrets. ============ This novel has been posted on Webnovel, Scribblehub, Fanfiction & RoyalRoad. This story was supposed to be a rewrite of my earlier book, Harry Potter and the Dark Phoenix but the plot ended up so different that I figured I’d just make a new book out of it. I might, at some point in the future, rewrite the earlier book with the earlier plot but that will have to wait for this one to finish. This is an AU so please keep that in mind. Constructive criticism is welcome, needless bashing is not.
