Married to his secret crush Chapter 70
Advertisement
Since Shi Luo had an appointment, Yu Mei decided to take a cab but as she walked out of the hospital, she found Steward Gu standing in front of a car.
She walked towards him, "Is Zixuan here too?"
The Steward was stunned for a moment. He was still not used to the woman talking about in his Master in such a soft and affectionate tone.
He cleared his throat, "Master is still busy with work. He sent me to drop you at the apartment." With that said, he opened the car door for her.
She nodded before getting inside.
When they reached the apartment building, Steward Gu walked towards her.
"Is there something?"
The man nodded before passing her a document and a key, "Master has sent it for you."
"A driving license?" She frowned. She did not remember taking a driving test.
Wait…She did drive the car once in his presence. So, did he get it made for her….?
"You don't need to take the driving test with Master," The man said, reading her thoughts before pointing his hand behind her.
She turned around to find a black Sedan parked there, "He got this for me?" It was the latest model.
Steward Gu nodded. "I shall take my leave now," The man bowed.
Yu Mei nodded back as she watched him leave.
Putting the car key and driving license inside her bag, she entered the elevator but just as the door was getting closed, someone stuck a foot in between.
"Ah…Sorry, I was late," Came an old panting voice.
She tilted her head upwards to look at the man and her eyes widened the moment she recognized the ma
It was none other than, Xiang Le, the most influential director in Rosette.

Suddenly, her mood swings from earlier vanished in an instant as she regained clarity of mind. Children? Man? She was not the person to run after all those things.
There is her company which is already in shambles at this point, her employees are in a worse state in the absence of their CEO. It is not time for her to lose focus.
She tilted her and looked at the old man resolutely. Just as the door to the elevator was about to close, she stuck her feet in between.
The old man tilted his head upwards to look at the fat girl blocking his path while stopping the elevator with her foot, "Lass, you need something?"
'Lass?' Yu Mei was speechless. When has someone addressed her like this?
Other than the first day of the interview, she had a few formal interactions with this man on some occasions. And he was one of the handfuls of people who have seen the face of the CEO of Rosette.
But the man has always been reserved and polite to her and they have never interacted that much.
But one thing that was a fact was that, after her, the CEO of the Jewellery brand, the man who had the most say was this old man standing in front of her.
And he had never once disappointed her or made her regret putting him on a high pedestal.
She sighed, "Can we talk?"
The old man stroked his beard, "Girl, did you get the wrong person? Don't waste my time, I have things to do and places to be."
"Old Man Xiang or should I say Director Xiang? Let's have a talk," Yu Mei said. The corner of her lips tugged up when she saw the man's expression, "There is a café in this apartment block.

At the café.
"Lass, what do you want to talk about?" Xiang Le picked up his coffee mug before taking a sip from it.
He was not a public figure neither was he a celebrity that every single person would recognize him. Not to mention that not everyone knew that his colleagues addressed him as 'Old Man Xiang'.
"Let's talk about Rosette," Yu Mei started.
"There is nothing for us to talk about," This girl is possibly a reporter out to get some news about the company. There have been many such people hovering around the company lately. She possibly got some information about him from somewhere.
Just as the old man stood up, Yu Mei opened her mouth to speak, "Leanne would not be coming back. Are you sure that you are letting the company be destroyed in front of your eyes?"
The old man paused, "How are you sure about that?"
"Take a seat, Director Xiang. I am not a serial killer."
She was a young girl. Normally he would not have paid attention to her words, but there was a confidence in her eyes that stopped him.
He took a seat opposite her.
"You're here for the inspection of the branch company of Rosette," She calmly said, "But the current situation at the headquarters back in Amaranthine is not hidden to you.''
The old man looked at her in astonishment, "How do you know that…?"
"That's not important. It's important to get the company back on track right now."
"If CEO Leanne does not comes back, the situations will keep on worsening like this," The old man shook his head, stroking his properly trimmed beard.
"It's not that complicated," Yu Mei spoke up, taking a sip of her latte.
"You have an idea?" The old man glanced at her in doubt. What could a young girl like her suggest anyways?
Her lips tugged up in a beautiful curve, revealing her pearly white teeth in the process, "Make me the CEO."
"Pfft…Cough…" The old man choked on his coffee. Looking at her smiling face, he burst out in laughter, "Hahahahahaha…Lass, you are…hahahahaha…you are so funny…Hahaha…"
Her lips twitched. Did she crack a joke? The smile on her face disappeared in an instant, "I am serious."
The old man paused, wiping the tear from the corner of his eyes, "You think you can become Leanne?" he asked.
She raised an eyebrow.

I Want You to Remember Me
A simple romantic tale of a... girl meeting a... boy. Trust and love both take time to grow, but growing together is also a lot of fun. A handful of disclaimers and claims: First, this is fan fiction, set in the “Amaranthine Saga” universe written by Forthright. The story and characters, on the other hand, are wholly my own (fault). I highly encourage you to read the stories from the “Amaranthine Saga” before reading this; the latter half of this story will make a whole lot more sense if you do. Second, this is a relatively short and stand-alone story. The completed story should clock in around 10,000 words, so please do not expect a novel, let alone a series. Third, while this is a romantic story, I’ve never been a fan of the usual romance “misunderstanding” tropes. Think of this as more of a romantic slice-of-life story than an action or traditional romance story. Finally, thank you for reading. :)
