"So, is everything already done. Are we all prepared for the event? And what about Celia? Did she come today for last trial of dress alterations?", she asked nonchalantly while flipping the pages of the file.
Ruo paused sipping from his coffee as he looked up at Lifen, "Boss, everything is done perfectly. Even we are very happy and grateful that you offered us whole week holidays with paid salary. We are really to have a boss like you". His voice was full of love, respect and admiration.
But someone was a little taken aback with all revelations. So she isn"t working under Yang Enterprises, instead she has set up a company for herself and it seemed that it"s working perfectly.
Suddenly his heart puffed up with pride. He has always known her brain when she has come to his company as his personal, though it was only for few days.
And after that also during Jie"s comatose period when she visited him in the company, she often helped him there too not in gross terms but enough to let him she her abilities in leaders.h.i.+p.
And now his beliefs about her are turning so true.
"What?", she asked arrogantly when caught him staring at her continously and smiling on his own.
"Nothing at all. So you are the boss at your company. Seems to be quite great. So what"s the name of your company", he asked amusingly.
Lifen twitched her lips showing her irritation. "It"s...", but before she could utter the whole sentence "It"s none of your business", Ruo spoke up everything in just one breath as if he was craving to say everything he has said, "It"s a fas.h.i.+on boutique,Sir. It is named as "ELEGANCE", and it surely represents the elegance our boss carries. She is the best boss one can ever have and wish for. A dream of every employee. Under her leaders.h.i.+p and guidance, out brand has got a call to showcase our designs in Milan fas.h.i.+on week".
Lifen was too shocked at the boy"s ability to speak in so much in just one breath. But she loved the way, he said about her. She felt satisfied, that her employees think of her like that.
Deming was too smiling at the boy, he was quite satisfied with this boy. The way he was showing his respect and admiration towards her employer is quite unique. But again the lady in the talks definitely deserve all this based on her atmosphere she builds around her.
It"s a kind which makes everyone comfortable around her with all their guards down. Such an angel in this real world.
"Okay Ruo. That"s enough. You don"t have to brag things in front of strangers especially those who have nothing to do with it", Lifen said in a stern voice.
Stranger?
"But he is in your home. Did I misheard her? I thought he was her boyfriend", Ruo thoughts got confused in his head, but he can"t say everything loud, "Sorry Boss, I thought he is your friend, since he is at your home at this moment ".
She didn"t thought to reply him, so she just busied herself in the file, checking everything minutely.
She didn"t even noticed that Deming has already got up from his seat and has come dangerously close to her.
She only came to know when his warm fingers got in contact with her cold soft cheeks to push the stray strand of hair back behind her ears. She looked up at him only to find his gentle gaze on her.
It was not known whether it was because of his touch or not, but her cheeks instantly turned red giving a strong tinge of blush on her pale skin.
"W-What are you doing?", she asked with a soft stammering voice.
But the reply to her question never came. He just patted her head adoringly and directed his words towards the boy sitting at a distance from her.
"Ruo? Is that your name? I quite like you. But tell me honestly, do you really take me as her friend when you saw me so comfortable here at this moment?", he asked with a devil smirk on his face.
Then Lifen got what intentions he was holding at this moment. "Hey...what are you talking? You are no...", but her words were meant to be cut in the mid again.
"Your thoughts were right indeed. I am her closest friend or you can say her boyfr.... But she won"t accept that, you know why?", he paused and then averted his gaze at Ruo.
Ruo was dumbfounded by everything playing in front of his eyes. He shook his head in denial dumbfoundedly.
"Because she had already taken advantage out of me and not she is embarra.s.sed to accept it now. But what about me, I have lost everything after her even my sanity", he added and winked at him, which seemed some kind of bro-code.
Lifen blinked her eyes few times, grasping everything he has said earlier. The more she was understanding the more she was getting embarra.s.sed to look at Ruo.
"There isn"t anything like that. I haven"t taken advantage of you in any way", she hurriedly signed the file and handed it to Ruo back, who was trying hard to control his laughter from breaking.
"Thank you for your extra work, Ruo. Now you can leave and do deliver this file to Erica, early in the morning ", she said.
Ruo left immediately.
When she returned after closing the door, sje asked with a stiff voice, "What were you trying to do earlier? What advantage have I taken of you?", her hands were on her h.i.p.s.
"Oh that. It"s nothing. I am quite hungry and feeling a little sleepy too", he yawned a little and then added, "Is the dinner ready?"
Lifen huffed a breath of agitation and stomped her way towards the kitchen.
After that they quietly had their dinner without uttering a word. The dinner was simple but highly nutritious as she had considered Deming"s weak body.
Completing the dinner and done with the dishes, Lifen returned to the bedroom where Deming was waiting to take the blanket and a pillow.
Deming has intended to help her with dishes but Lifen didn"t let him enter the kitchen, so he was waiting for her in the room.
When noticed that she was leaving the room with a blanket and pillow, Deming asked hastily, "Where are you going?"
"What do you think?", she replied turning back to him.
"I will sleep in the living room. You can sleep here", she answered his question.
"Why? I mean your bed is quite s.p.a.cious and it can fit at least five people. You can sleep her. I won"t mind", he said with a tone that implied it as the most easy and reasonable fact in the world.
