There are almost hundreds of halls in this hotel so someone as new in here will be lost forever without the left of a local worker in here. All the people working here have a uniform code that is professional, classy and modern, and definitely not cheap.

The females wear a simple black blouse and black skirt with black long heels, their hair wrapped in a bun. The manager is wearing a black crisp shirt, black slacks, and a black business jacket. This hotel surely ranks as one of the best in Asia. As they pass through different halls and elevators, they finally reach hall number 22.

"Here you go, ladies," he says cheerfully, gesturing with both his hands as bow to the door. Both women nods and Ruxi pushes the big door and head inside with Shi Lian at the back.

The hall is spaciously big with open windows on the side embraced by the beautiful modern curtains. Grateful that the room is yet not crowded with media, Shi Lian let out a sigh of relief.

"Is he Mr. Fu?" Ruxi asks Shi Lian as they walk forward to meet him. Fu Zichen is sitting on the chair placed above the stage with his manager standing behind him. He is seated comfortably, his gaze focuses on them, especially Shi Lian as both the women march towards him.

His steely gaze is so mesmerizing that one can feel a shiver down his spine. He looks distant, cold, and domineering, like a male alpha who is unapproachable. Men look extremely hot in business suits and Fu Zichen is on another level. He is in full black mode with a royal blue tie, perfectly complimenting his looks. His dark chocolate brown hair is slick back, giving him a sexy look. This man is an example of a 'perfect' man who has it all.

"Yes," Shi Lian rolls her eyes as she answers. She feels uncomfortable when he is looking, no, staring at her like she is some kind of dessert or prey and he is the predator. Butterflies marrying in her stomach giving her goosebumps and making her heart pulsates. Damn! Why does he look so unimaginably attractive and scary at the same time?

"Mr. Fu, I am Vice President Ning Ruxi of Mo Corp. Pleasure meeting you" she extends her hand forward for a handshake and Fu Zichen politely shakes it introducing himself.

Shi Lian is debating whether to shake hands or not as because they have already met and she thinks that there's no point in introducing again. The main reason is that his touch is like an electric current that does an effect on her. She will lose it like the last time he touched her which he doesn't want to happen, not here.

"Good to see you, Shi Lian," he says huskily, his gaze fixed on her. She meets his gaze and all she can see is heat and passion. She turns away, afraid of losing in his deep brown eyes.

"Hello to you too, Mr, Fu," she says nonchalantly, looking in his direction where he is sitting but not at his face.

Fu Zichen is still pissed at her but less when he sees her. He has this great urgency to hold her and kiss her until she searches for her breath but he is a man of patience, he won't be a selfish hungry bastard just because he is unable to resist her.

His manager brings forward the papers and evidence of the scandal and the people who are behind this. he has already fired the traitor from his company but he knows that the man is not capable of doing it unless he is following the orders of someone. He doesn't have any clues regarding the mastermind behind this but he soon will.

"As I promised, here is the information regarding the traitors" he passes down the papers to Ruxi and Shi Lian. Both the women examine the papers carefully delivering expressions of shock, surprise, anger, and sadness.

"Can't believe Chen would do something like this!" Ruxi exclaims with anger as she holds the paper with a tight grip, controlling herself not to tear this paper apart.

On the other hand, Shi Lian looks neutral, like she had already expected him to be the traitor and yes she did expect it. When she got to know that he is one of the three that seemed odd and shady, she asked Huawei to keep an eye on all of them and after some digging, she did lay her suspicions on him. Now the evidence is enough to throw him out of the company and at the same time save it from extreme loss.

"The media will be here in less than ten minutes. Hope you have everything you need" Zichen informs them, glancing at his limited edition Rolex watch.

"Yes. We are prepared" Ruxi says on behalf of Shi Lian as well which Shi Lian doesn't seem to mind because her mind is occupied by an upcoming event.

Zichen frowns when he sees Shi Lian quiet and absent-minded. Various thoughts come to his mind like, 'Is she sad?', 'Did someone hurt her or is she angry?' He wants to scoot over to her, tilting her chin to meet her eyes, and ask her while his hands gently caress her cheeks if she is having any difficulties but he restrains that thought. He cannot display his affection in front of people, not at this moment because it will be like inviting demons to his house and getting her in danger as well. He cannot take that risk.

"Sir, the media is here" his manager informs, striding over to where he is sitting. After ten minutes of thinking, intense staring, and ignoring, now the time is here where the three will have to be in act.

"Let them in" he orders.

The two guards open the door and a crowd of media huddles inside with cameras and a mic. Woah! There's a lot of flashing here! The number of people keeps on increasing and now the room is fully packed.

"Mr. Fu!"

"Mr. Fu!" the reporters bark his name to get his attention and juicy news. As soon as the reporters got the news that a meeting conference regarding the scandal issue, they volunteer to come here. They see this as a piece of real juicy news that will help their company rise in the industry so from every company reporters have come.

"We will answer all your questions! Be patient, please!" Rong, his manager commands in a loud voice, loud enough to be heard by everyone.

All the reporters, paparazzi are whispering among themselves, making up different questions regarding the issue and eyeing the three of them sitting on the stage.

It's the first time for Shi Lian to be attending this kind of conference meeting. The gazes of those media reporters make her uncomfortable but she ignores them. She is nervous, but not much to make her run away. She is determined to face them and confidently answer their questions.

"Miss Ruxi, is it true that your company plagiarised their work?" one of the reporters raises a question. "Will the Mo corp will experience a breakdown?" another one interrogates. They are asking questions without caring the first one to even complete their sentences.

"First of all, our company will not be having any breakdown and secondly we did NOT plagiarise any work." Ruxi's cold reply can give you a shiver. She looks scary when she is angry and frustrated and she looks scary now because she is angry.

"Mr. Fu, what do you think? Do you believe them?" a female reporter wearing a beige blouse and brown pencil skirt asks raising her mic with the camera raised by the cameraman behind her.

"Your questions will be all cleared." He says calmly and then turns to his manager, "Rong."

His manager turn on the projector and the evidence is reflected on the screen played behind their heads. His manager steps forward and starts his speech, "The two people shown here are the traitors who are responsible for the plagiarism. One of them is from the Mo corp and the other from our company, Fu Internationals. And about the hype, I guess you must be knowing better than me."

The reporters whisper among themselves and pass glances with Zichen and the others. The reporters are here to dig out some juicy news and without it, they won't be going anywhere.

"Miss Ruxi, who is the person sitting beside you? Is she is someone of high importance?" a sulky male reporter asks.

Ruxi takes a glance at Shi Lian with concern that she should disclose it or not but she relaxes when Shi Lian squeezes her hand and gives her a small smile with a nod. "Yes, she is"

"Who is she then? Is she your trump card to save your company?" he says in a mocking tone.

"You will get them soon. And soon means tomorrow. The mo corp will hold a meeting to have an important announcement. You are welcome to come" Ruxi glares at the reporter.

"Miss, what is your name?" "Are you forced to work with them?" "What is your relationship with Mo's?" The media is asking loads of questions without stopping for a second. They are getting more and more curious about her. She is like this mysterious beauty who came out of nowhere and why her aura seems the same as Fu Zichen? She has this strong sura around that makes you gulp for coming closer to her.

"We are here to discuss the scandal, not about me. it will be better if we focus on that" she says calmly, looking straight at them. her hands are sweaty because she is freaking out from inside. These reporters are annoying as hell and getting all the attention is something she is not comfortable with.

"Miss, what is your motive? Why are you working with Mo corp?" The reporters ignore what she said earlier and ask the same rubbish questions. Shi Lian is not going to answer the same answer again and again so she chooses to remain silent and ignore the question.
