Few days pa.s.sed by. Guang"s words made Deming a little uncomfortable but after sometime he didn"t thought too much about it.
From the last few days, Deming and Lifen spent quite time together. She often went to visit Carnation Hills, helped him in looking after Jie and then both had their lunch together. A quite sweet bond was established between them that gave him a sense of easiness around her.
Lifen was sitting on her study table, reading a book when her phone buzzed. She averted her gaze from her book to look at her phone. A soft smile spread over her lips. The text was from Deming.
[Deming: Good morning!! When are you coming today?]
She thought for sometime and then typed a reply. After that she again moved to look at her book.
On the other side, Deming"s phone buzzed with the text message. At this moment he was in meeting with a foreign clients. He quickly peeked at his phone and as expected by him, the text was from Lifen.
[Little Cat: I don"t think I would be able to go today]
He was about to type the text back to her when one of the client spoke up, "Mr.w.a.n.g, is there something more important than this deal. I see you are quite focused at your phone".
Hearing this Deming raised his brow, though he was young still he would never accept disrespect from anyone. A mocking smile spread over his lips and he gently pinched the s.p.a.ce between his brow, "Mr.Thomas, I didn"t thought that you would ever have guts to point out my priorities. I don"t think my company needs this deal from you. Your team is excused. Leave".
The foreign clients were taken aback with his words. Though they know they were the one that approached w.a.n.g Corporation with this deal but the deal was quite profitable. If it succeeds then the both parties will be earning thousands of millions as profits. They have never thought he he dismiss this deal like that without giving any second thought.
"Mr.w.a.n.g this deal is quite profitable for both the parties. How can you just reject it like that?" the clients tried to persuade. They knew very well that this deal can only be brought to Country A if they have w.a.n.g Corporation as their support.
"Out right now" one order and immediately a group of people came inside to drag the people out the premises.
All this while, Murphy was standing beside him but has not spoke any single word. He won"t ever interrupt him in his ways but he would never ignore the profits of the company too. "Boss, that deal was pretty good", he said to give his suggestion but it seemed more like a dissatisfaction.
Deming stood up nonchalantly, picked his phone and patted Murphy on his shoulder, "Don"t worry about that, I have seen the the proposal. It will not that much profitable to us".
Murphy clenched his jaw. How was that deal not profitable? He was about to say something but when turned to look at him, he was already gone.
Deming dialed Lifen"s number and after few rings, the call was connected, "h.e.l.lo"
"What are you doing? You said before that you won"tbe coming to Carnation Hills today"
"Uhmm, a little busy, So I don"t think I can..."
"Busy?"
"Hmm, I have to visit University today".
"You can come after that"
"Okay I will pick you from University gate"
"No, I have to somewhere else to go"
"Where?"
Lifen paused for a moment. These few days, she was somehow got used to spend her time with Deming. But she can never forget that right now she was in a relations.h.i.+p with Chang. She was bound to give some of her time to him even if she was uncomfortable with that,"Chang has plans".
"Okay, if that"s all. I have some work, talk to you later" , she disconnected the call.
That reason was enough to make Deming uneasy inside his heart. He was about to leave for Carnation Hills but at this moment he just gave a call to mansion, "Take care of her. I will be a little late today".
He directly went into his cabin and sat on his leather chair. After some thought, he again took his phone and dialed a number. The call was connected on the first ring and a polite voice came from the other side, "h.e.l.lo, Boss"
"Follow them closely today and send me their location details every half an hour", ordering this he instantly disconnected the call. Though he knew that Chang cares for Lifen but still he can"t be at ease when she is alone with him.

Lifen was still engrossed in her book when her phone rang again. Without looking at the caller"s name, she picked up. A soft aged warm voice rang in her ears, "LiLi, how are you?"
"Grandpa!"
"How are you? Are you going through the books, I sent you before?"
"I am pretty well, grandpa. And yeah I am reading the books. Don"t worry about that. Your granddaughter is quite smart. I will sure get adapted to the new environment"
"I know my granddaughter is smart. Have you completed all the formalities in your University. You know you don"t have much time left. Soon you will have to fly, so complete it as soon as possible".
"Yes, Grandpa. I will do it"
The call got disconnected and Lifen stared out of the window deep into the sky. These few days, everything was so smooth. She has nearly forgotten that she has to leave. At this instant, a thought crossed across her mind, "Should I tell him about it? How will he react? Okay I will think more about it. Since he is my friend now, he should know about it too."
