Leyson Group

"Oh god!" Evelyn cries, "There's more?" 

Ruth nods, giving her an apologetic smile. She puts another bunch of documents on top of other documents which are still pending. 

"And you also have a meeting at 11 with the CEO of Fu International" she informs. 

Evelyn grimaces and rejects strongly. "I won't be going to meet that jerk."

Ruth sighs and closes her tabloid. She feels like she isn't a secretary but a nanny who is making sure the baby (Evelyn) behaves well. "We cannot decline it. After so long we got the proposal and if we won't agree with them, they might break the collaboration."

Evelyn huffs, "But why him? Where is that Chairman? Why can't he attend the meeting?"

Even Ruth does not know the answer. She is also confused as to why the CEO is the only one who is making calls and decisions since they thought it will be the Chairman with whom they are joining hands. It's not a bad thing but she would have been more glad if the Chairman itself is there. 

"Maybe he is busy," she says, trying to think positive. "Look, no matter how much of a jerk the CEO is, I don't know why you are saying that" Ruth rolls her eyes and continues, "but the contract is important to us, to the company, and your Mother. You don't want to disappoint your mother right?"

That's the only thing that is making her stay, the only thing that is making her do all these which she does not want to do in the first place. She grits her teeth and pinches the bridge of her nose. "Fine, but if he dares do any shrewd things, I'll walk straight away from there," Evelyn tells her. 

Ruth smiles, "Very well." She then collects the papers and exits the room. 

Evelyn wants to cry seeing piles of documents in front of her and on top of that the meeting with Junjie is making her blood boil. The memories of him flirting with her make her heart race. He was so close that she could see the light freckles on his nose and some on his cheeks. She hates to admit but she had thought of kissing him. 

She shakes her head trying to get rid of those thoughts. She gets her head clear that she will be on her best behavior and will avoid his lewd language. After all, she is doing this all for the sake of her mother.

Fu Internationals

Zichen cannot help but asks Junjie. "Why are you smiling like an idiot?" His smile is making him want to throw out of his office. 

"You won't understand, my boy" she smiles, dreaming about his thoughts. Zichen makes a disgusting face but Junjie is busy checking his face on his phone. 

Zichen then says, "You don't need to go since I am free till 12." 

Junjie's smile drops and he snaps his neck at him. "No!" he says, more like yells. 

Zichen raises his eyebrow and stops midway through his signing. 

Junjie quickly puts back his smile and explains, "I mean, I have already prepared for the meeting. I would be sad if my hard work goes in vain." 

Zichen is having a hard time believing what he is saying. He guesses he is hiding something but he has no interest in asking. As frivolous as he is, it may not be something he should be concerned about. 

"Alright. But I am warning you, behave well and don't hit on the client if it's a woman."

It's too late for that advice. He has set his eyes on her and she is the reason he is acting giddy.

"That's not my fault if she can't resist my charm" he boosts. 

"Get out before I break your teeth" Zichen warns, giving him a look. He can't see any more of Junjie's act. 

Without any whining, Junjie leaves his office, still smiling as he goes. 

As he walks, he glances at his watch finding that he has half an hour left for the meeting with Evelyn. 

Junjie can't wait. There are still fifteen minutes left but he is already driving to the location. He never imagined himself to be this eager just to meet someone. In fact, he is always the one to make everyone wait. 

Since the day he met her in the office, he cannot help thinking about her. Even when he sleeps, her brown eyes make him awake. 

At first, he thought it might be because he finds her attractive but how can someone fuck his mind for days? He finds numerous women attractive but no one has fucked his mind as Evelyn did. 

Just what power does she hold? 

He realizes he has reached his destination. Parking his car at the lot, he steps out of his car and made his way inside the Leyson building. 

Reaching inside the Hall, he goes to the reception desk and tells the pretty receptionist to inform Evelyn that he is here. He is so sure of himself that everyone must know who he is. 

"A moment Sir. Let me inform her first" she says politely, smiling. 

He waits, to look around the Hall, observing the interior. It sure is smaller in comparison to Fu International but the interior is designed very well. 

After the receptionist is done with the call, she tells him. "Please allow me to take you. Miss Evelyn will be here soon to pick you. "

Hearing her name makes him smile even more. He nods and follows her to the upper floor. 

Reaching the 6th floor, they step out of the elevator car, and to his surprise, Evelyn stands just some distance, waiting for him. Ruth is standing beside her but he has his eyes only on her. 

"Mr. Song! Pleasure seeing you again" Ruth shakes his hand, smiling to her fullest. Junjie finds the woman a bit too loud but he keeps his smile intact. 

Ruth then eyes Evelyn to come and greet him as well. He looks at her and finds her hesitating. He smirks because he knows just what is going on in that pretty head of hers. 

"Good to see you, Mr. Song" Evelyn puts forward her hand for a handshake, a small smile on her face.

He grips her hand and shakes saying, "I thought you would be greeting me like last time."

Evelyn forces her to smile instead of spitting something rude, which surprises him. "I apologize for last time."

Evelyn tries to pull away but Junjie won't let her. He grips her hand still and smirks and she struggles to break free. 

"Please take Mr. Song to the C4 room" Ruth interjects and he finally let her go. He can see her controlling her temper which makes him chuckle. 

"Please, this way" Evelyn grits, the smile not reaching the corner of her eyes. Junjie nods and follows them to the room. 

Passing the foyer, they reach the room. She opens the door for him and gestures for him to walk inside first.

He shakes his head playfully. "Ladies first." 

"Jerk" she mutters and gets inside without any argument. Even though he heard what she muttered, he does not mind it at all. It's just going to be too exciting for him. 

Closing the door, she goes and sits opposite him. She is glad the couch is at more distance which will help her stay away from him a bit more. 

"You look beautiful" he compliments her out of the blue. He meant what he said. She does look gorgeous in her dark green dress. 

Surprised, she blushes and thanks to him, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. It makes his heart race. 

She clears her throat and speaks, "So um, well, our company has launched the latest design the past month and we were thinking if you would be interested in looking to make a better decision?"

He is more busy observing her that he hasn't heard what she said. He nods without even knowing what he agreed to. She smiles and getting the box from the table in front of her, she passes it to him. 

"It is designed by my Mum," she says smiling, "I have also checked the Zeal collection and I think they both will be suitable together."

Junjie gazes at the necklace set. It's beautiful no doubt. He looks at her, "The design is well made but I am certain about the two suitable together. The Chairman is the one who makes the decision so we first need to discuss with him."

Evelyn cannot help but ask, "So why isn't the Chairman here for the meeting?"

That sure hurts his feelings but tries not to show it. "He is busy at the moment and I guess me being here is more suitable" he teases. 

She says nothing on that. They talk more about the design and they both are surprised just how good they can work. Their opinions are different yet they calmly listen to other person's views. 

Twenty minutes later, the discussion ends without any curse words. "I can't believe you can control your temper this good" he teases. 

"Yeah, I am surprised too. I thought about punching you when you tried gripping my hand but you know about being professional and all."

He smirks, "Do you like my face that much? "

She scoffs, keeping her arms crossed over her chest. "Yeah too much that I want to punch it."

"I must say I was hurt when you refused to give me a kiss" he expresses, acting innocent. 

She rolls her eyes, "Why would a jackass like you feel hurt? You can get anyone to kiss you"

He gets up and goes to her side. His eyes never leaving hers as she sits in front of her. She scoots away, warning him, "Don't you dare do anything."

Leaning closer to her ear, he whispers and answers her haughty question, "But you are the one I want."
