He paced up and down the reception with his eyes fixed on the revolving door which leads to the front of the company, apart from the day when he was waiting for her to treat him at his house, he couldn't remember any day when he has been as anxious as this because of anyone.

The employees and the visitors from other companies fixed their eyes on him while wondering what was making him walk up and down the reception like a child who is waiting for his mother. ​​

"Why is the chairman pacing up and down?" One of the staffs at the reception asked the other who is standing next to her.

"I am as clueless as you are so don't ask me" the other replied sharply.

"Do you have to reply like that, I was just asking" the other one complained but she was ignored.

Judging from his expression, they could tell that he was really impatient, they were now eager to see who or what he was waiting for, after standing for a while, he returned to his office to sit, while the managing director followed behind him carefully.

"Chairman, would you like you to have something to drink or eat while you wait for her?" the managing director asked with a bootlicking smile on his face and his back slightly leaned forward, Han Chen turned to look at his with a quizzical expression on his face which made the managing director confused since he was expecting an answer from him.

"Managing director…. don't act like this when you are close to me" he instructed with a blank expression on his face which once again made the managing director confused, he wasn't sure if the chairman is angry or being nice…

"Sir…. I don't quite understand what you mean" the managing director responded.

"You see…." He turned his chair to face the managing director with a slightly annoyed look on his face and his elbow on the table.

"Don't treat me like those directors in the board or investors or like my aunt and uncle, I am not like them, in fact, I hate it when people try to bootlick or gain favour with me not with their hard work but with their mouth and gestures….." he paused for a moment while staring right into his face.

"Do you understand what I am trying to say?" he asked

"Yes Sir, I…. guess I am just used to catering to the requirement of my superiors so it has become a work habit for me" the managing director replied awakwardly.

"I would like you to put in some effort in doing that," Han Chen said then he gave the managing director a dismissal wave. After the director left the office, he stood up and walked to the glass wall surrounding the office to see what the view outside the office is like after all the years he has abandoned his position.

He turned to look at the clock in the office then he realized that he had been waiting for an hour and thirty minutes since he called Yu Yan to pick him up, after persuading her for twenty minutes over the phone, he managed to make her agree to pick him up with his car after using the pity card.

He returned his gaze to the large glassed wall of the office, his eyes widened when he saw a familiar car drive past his view and heading towards the parking lot, he didn't need anyone to tell him that she has arrived and he musn't be caught in the chairman's office since he still has the intention of hiding his multiple identities from her so that it would be easier for him to get close to her.

He ran out of his office and ended up hitting the managing director who was about to update him on some information of the company while he was waiting but he didn't even stop to apologize, the only thing that occupied is head is 'she is here'.

He ran past most of the employees and even closed the elevator before they could enter even though they had been waiting before him.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

They called as he ran past the departments after arriving at the first floor, when he got to the reception, he quickly adjusted his suit which had already folded because he was running then he looked around for a spot to seat like he was nobody in the company.

The employees that walked past him were all bewildered by the chairman, he had just arrived at the company and he has already made himself too complicated for them to understand.

Just then, a beautiful young lady of an average height entered through the revolving door and entered the reception, as soon as she entered, he fixed his gaze on her and watched her every step until she stood in front of the reception desk, they noticed that he seemed to be looking at someone or something so they traced his gaze to her direction, she wasn't the only one at the reception desk but her beauty made her stand out.

All eyes were fixed on her as soon as their eyes landed on her, the bogy hug lycra she is wearing helped to highlight her figure, her hourglass figure amazed everyone who laid their eyes on her unknownst to her, she styled her long hair into a wavy style with a side parting in the middle and she wore little makeup on her face, after speaking to the receptionist who seemed confused by whatever she was telling her, she ran her finger through her hair to the fascination of the many men that are seated at the reception including Han Chen, he entered into a daze at that moment with a smile on his lips that made him look like a handsome idiot.

She looked around in hopes that she would see the person she came there to see since the receptionist insisted that there is no one with that name at the company, then her eyes landed on Han Chen who still had the idiotic smile on his lips, she narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips in frustration then she started walking towards him, the moment she started moving snapped him out of his daze.

One of the young men dressed in a suit stood up when he saw her walking towards his direction, he had his smile ready then he walked towards her with a confident demeanour, Han Chen just stood still as he watched him walking towards her.

"You have good eyes just like me..." the young man said with his hands stretched out to shake her hand but she stopped and shot him a glare which almost scared him but he managed to remain calm.

"Are you talking to me?" she queried

"I...no...nothing" he stuttered in embarrassment when he realized that she wasn't actually walking towards him, out of shame, he quickly scurried out of the company with his head cowered, Han Chen chuckled at how badly she treated him, he knew that she was going to do just that but he still wanted to watch the scene.

"Han Chen...." she pronounced when she got to where he stood but the managing director arrived at the same time, panting while trying to catch his breath.

"Chairman, I have....."

"Managing director, you should really watch your mouth or else someone might misunderstand....." Han Chen said with his shoe pressing against managing director's foot. he screeched in pain but he held it in and stared at him in confusion.

"Is this your company?" Yu Yan asked with a frown on her face.

"Of course not....he is the managing director of this compnay and we are just close buddies but he just likes to call me chairman, we have actually known each other for a while but he is busy so he couldn't drive me back home" Han Chen lied wishing that she would actually believe him but the doubtful look she gave him assured him that she wasn't anywhere near believing him.

"Isn't it...?" Han Chen asked facing the managing director who is still suffering from the pain.

"Are you talking to me.?" he asked then Han Chen scrunched his lips and widened his eyes to hint the managing director.

"Yeah, of course, we are best buddies but I can't help him right now, thank you for coming to pick him" the managing director affirmed.

"Why are you here in the first place and what is it with the heroic stuff?" Yu Yan queried with a doubtful look in her eyes.

"I....ehhmmn...you see, Jia Yu is working independently even though her parents her rich, I can't keep on feeding on my aunt and uncle so I decided to get a job, I just came here for an interview but I encountered what you saw on the video, thankfully, my best buddy interceded for me..." he wrapped his hand around the managing director's shoulder and drew him closer to his side while suffocating him.

"I was granted a chance for another interview but I failed the interview" Han Chen narrated

"Am I right?"

"Of course you are, you failed the interview woefully" the managing director struggled to answer, then Han Chen released him from his grip and held Yu Yan's hand, she stared down at his hand holding hers with one of her brows raised.

"Enough questions, for now, let's go," Han Chen said with a charming smile on his lips then he pulled her hand as he headed for the revolving door, everyone who had been watching the drama the whole time was left confused while the managing director adjusted his suit and his glasses.

"Is he the chairman or not?"

"I don't know anymore, I am really confused"

"I am also confused"

"His grip is damn tight..." the managing director remarked then he adjusted his tie that was shifted when Han Chen gripped him, one of the employees moved close to him and leaned towards his shoulder.

"Is he really our chairman?" she asked

"Do you want to know?" he asked with a straight face.

"Hmnnn" the employee replied with a nod

"He is..... go back to your work!!!" he shouted into her ear then she quickly scurried away while

rubbing her pinna.

---------------------------

She continued staring at his back and the side of his face as she pulled her hand until the reached the parking lot, she wasn't even aware that she was actually letting him hold her hand when they got to where she had parked the car he released her hand and smiled at her.

"Why...why are you smiling?" She asked

"I am just happy that you came to pick me up" he answered then he widened his smile making his dimples go even deeper, she fluttered her lashes as she stared at his dimples, he snapped his fingers when he realized that she is in a daze then she regained her senses.

"You....you stop smiling like that" she stuttered.

"Why are you starting to fall for me because of my smile, I can smile for you all day if you want, just say the word," Han Chen said in a seductive manner as he moved closer to her while she moved back until her back touched the car, she placed her hand on the car while he leaned towards her, with his lips still curved into a smile.

"You are really starting to fall for me, aren't you, it hasn't even been six months since we met each other..." Han Chen said then he leaned closer towards her until she could feel his breath on her neck and face.

"In your dreams, for your information, I have a boyfriend so mind your behaviour when you are close to me," Yu Yan said then she pushed him away and opened the door to the driver seat and pressed the start button, then she winds down the window.

"If you don't enter now, I will leave you stranded again," Yu Yan said then she wind up the window, he smiled at her feistiness and walked over to the seat next to the driving seat, immediately he buckled his seat belt, she started driving at a fast speed.

"Why are you driving so fast?" he asked

"Isn't I obvious? so that I wouldn't have to spend up to one hour with you in the same car when we arrive at your house or should I say your mansion, I will drop your car then I will take the bus back home and you still haven't told me what is going on with my car" Yu Yan answered

"Wait...why do you dislike me so much but you like my cousin?" Han Chen asked

"I don't dislike you, I just don't like the fact that we are becoming too close" Yu Yan answered frankly, he had known that she was going to tell him the truth.

"What is wrong with being too close to me, aren't you close to Ji Chen and the other guy in your friend group?" Han Chen asked in a sentimental tone, she turned to look at him for a second then she returned her attention to the wheel.

"You are different, you....are not like them" Yu Yan replied

"and how am I different, don't say I am too handsome or charming, I am very aware of that" Han Chen said jokingly then she turned to look at him with her lips pursed then she rolled her eyes at him and returned her focus to the wheel.

"That is exactly why you are different, you joke with everything," Yu Yan said then she increased her speed and overtook the car in front of her.

"I am sure you don't know this but this car has been unused for a long time so it has not been serviced, if you keep driving so aggressively, we might end up spending the night out or having to take the bus," Han Chen reminded then he closed his eyes and leaned his head on the headboard.

She turned to look at him again but his eyes were already closed, so she fixed her eyes on him for a while.....

"at this rate, we are going to get into an accident miss Yu Yan, if you want to continue looking at me then change it to a self-driving mode," Han Chen said with a teasing smile, she quickly turned her face forward.

"narcissistic..."

"I can hear you...."

"Like I care"
