Chapter 53 - Was President Feng waiting for her arrival?
When Li Xue was brought to the President\'s office. She turned to look at the secretary, who was no less mysterious than his boss. She can say that this is how the person with whom you flock around, affects your life. Will make you become much more like himself.
"Mr. Secretary, I am sorry to ask you this again. But can you please tell me what are the orders that are still left for me to follow. So that I can at least be a little prepared", she said, growing a little anxious about the matter now. She was getting a feeling that a drastic big change in her life was ready at her door to sneak its way in.
Gao Fan nodded to her questions as he pulled his phone out and made a call. After having few words on the call, he extended it in her direction. The woman did not know who was on the other side when she answered it, "Hello!"
But the moment the smooth cello voice came from the other side, she recognized it. It was him. None other than the man whom she has already named as Mr. Beelzebub.
"It seems like before you can find the way to pay me off your owed sincere gratitude, I got a way for you. Help me out with a situation and I will accept that you have sincerity of gratitude in your words last night", he said plainly. There was no hint of other feelings in his words.
It felt like he was giving her the exact words that he meant inside his heart, without any a.d.u.l.teration. Li Xue looked at the secretary who was having a plain poker face, not giving any hints, if there was a cliff at the end or a dead end.
"Seems I was right last night. Your words of gratitude were only words, void of any sincerity", he probed her when he did not hear any response of acceptance from her side.
There was a hidden desperation in his voice that was so faint that it can never go noticed by anyone\'s senses. But due to some reason of familiarity, Li Xue could feel that. It was because her daughter has the same type of behavior sometimes. A behavior in which that little girl tries to conceal her real emotions beautifully and skillfully.
She wasn\'t egged on by his words. Though this man makes her muddle headed in front of him, that definitely does not mean that she was like that in her reality. She was not someone who would take the decisions without thinking about it.
She was sure that she had heard a faint layer of desperation in his words, but what was that for? Did he really need her help? But wasn\'t he the big boss of the whole Feng International? Why would he need help from a meagre staff working under his brand?
She was contemplating on her thoughts when she heard him repeat his intentions again. "Are you up for it my way or not? Or are you already backing away from your promised words"
"Sorry if my words seem to be any impolite to your ears, Mr. Feng, but I am not the woman who would ever back off from my said words of promises. Please let me know your way and if it would be under my ethics and principles then I will definitely co – operate with you", she said and her words instantly brought a deep smile on the man\'s lips on the other side.
Feng Shufen did not give much details to her. He simply said, "Rest assured, I won\'t ever go against your principles or ethics, it\'s my duty to protect not to ruin. For now, please go inside my office\'s resting lounge. There is a dress I got for you. Get yourself dressed and come back upstairs"
Giving his words to her, he did not wait for another moment and disconnected the call. He was sure that hearing his words, there surely will be many questions in her head and if he got to answer them now then he doubts that she will be agreeing to his arrangements at an instant.
Li Xue was confused but since she had already agreed to him, there was no use to ponder over it again and again. Returning back the phone to the secretary, she asked "President\'s personal resting lounge is inside?"
Gao Fan nodded and then added, "Yes, it is inside. You can take your time, until then I will wait for you here". He said and then out of courtesy or duty, it wasn\'t sure but he opened the door of the President\'s office for her to lead in.
"Thank You!", she said gratefully and then quickly headed in.
At the same time downstairs, Feng Shufen has returned back to the table after attending the call. Food was already being handled by the staff to keep them shimmering hot to be served when ordered. The team of executives were all confused, not knowing why the meal was kept on a hold.
Mr. Kim, the CEO of K. M. Enterprise looked at the man who was making them wait like this. When he wasn\'t able to handle the curiosity anymore, he asked "Is Mr. Feng waiting for someone special to arrive?"
The man didn\'t want to reveal anything yet so he just smiled as he gestured the waiter, "Serve the appetizers and starters"
On his order the waiter, who was appointed for the job quickly scrambled their feet to execute the order they had received. When the drinks were already in everyone\'s hands, he said "Please continue. There is a guest I am waiting for to introduce. But there is still time in her arrival. So kindly help yourselves with the beginning course of the meal till then"
Saying this he lifted the glass up higher to mark the start of the meal.
Ryan just looked at the man who looked the same as he was before but she knew that he had already changed. A change for which he was very happy. A change that wasn\'t brought by her but some other woman.
Her expressions turned sour when she caught his eyes anticipating someone\'s arrival. She found herself drowning in disappointment when she realized that someone was not her rather some other woman.
"President Feng, it feels like you are very anticipating this particular arrival. Can you tell us for whom are you waiting for", she asked. Though her voice sounded soft and graceful, her father could feel her anger in it.
He looked at her and the man. He was about to ask what was wrong, when he suddenly heard the door opening again. All the eyes turned to look in one direction. As they looked, their eyes went wide in admiration. Faint gasps could be heard from the midst of the group. "Who is this lady? Was President Feng waiting for her? Why she looks like the dessert chef who has introduced the sweets to us"
