Verdan Zhou strode towards his office after alighting from the VIP elevator .
Liu Fei Long bowed as he greeted, "Good morning, CEO Zhou . "
"Hmmn . " Verdan Zhou subtly nodded, keeping his indifferent expression .
As they continued walking towards the end of the hallway, the a.s.sistant gave a briefing on the schedule for the day .
Dan gestured his a.s.sistant to follow through into the office as he subtly tilted his head . For a tall person, his movements were minimal .
Liu Fei Long followed his boss inside the office . Then as if remembering something, his expression lit up . "Ah! CEO, Madam Zhou had asked for you . "
"When?" Verdan Zhou raised a brow as he took off his coat, hang it on the rack, then strode to sit before his desk .
He started browsing through the pile of folders before him .
"CEO, Madam requested the meeting today since she was not able to see you yesterday . "
Verdan Zhou continued to browse and sign .
"What is it about?"
"She did not disclose, Sir . "
Verdan Zhou frowned, sighed, then strode out of his office .
Liu Fei Long was stunned for a couple of seconds before he followed his boss who had almost reached the elevator . He sprinted in his suit to beat him in pressing the going up b.u.t.ton .
His boss frowned . "She"s in her office?"
"Uhm . . . " Liu Fei Long gulped . He just a.s.sumed that the chairman requested the meeting in her office .
"It"s fine . Checking her office won"t hurt . " As Verdan Zhou finished this statement, the elevator had landed to the top floor .
"CEO . " Greetings in bent backs flooded them as they walked along the hallway to the chairman"s office .
When they arrived at the door, a female voice stopped them .
"CEO Zhou, the chairman is not yet in her office . " A bespectacled lady in a neat bun declared .
She abruptly rose from her swivel chair behind her cluttered desk, which faced the door to the chairman"s office .
"You requested for a meeting with me . " Verdan Zhou glared at her . "Yet she is not even here . Are you kidding me?!" He looked at her, then he turned to his a.s.sistant for answers .
Liu Fei Long shook his head like a rattle . He pleaded with his eyes that the CEO would believe his innocence on this matter .
"Useless!" He continued glaring at them subsequently, before his black oxfords pivoted back to the hallway .
He took out his phone from his pocket as he continued to stride to the VIP elevator .
"Good morning, CEO . What can I do for you today?" Mich.e.l.le Adams had great energy in her voice and answered after a single ring .
"Did you know about my mother summoning me this early?" There was a hint of annoyance in his voice .
Even if she could not see her boss"s expression, Mich.e.l.le Adams surely detected the danger in his voice .
"CEO, I had informed a.s.sistant Liu 2 days prior that the Madam wanted to see you . She requested a meeting at DM Seafood Restaurant at 1100H . Would you want further details, Sir?"
Verdan Zhou"s expression turned dark . At this point, he wanted to strangle Liu Fei Long .
Sensing his boss, a.s.sistant Liu unconsciously stepped back, and cursed himself for being alone with the CEO, who obviously want him dead, in a contraption called the elevator .
After restraining himself from firing his a.s.sistant, Verdan Zhou worked all morning to finish his paperworks which pile up after being away .
At 1045H, there was a knock on his door .
"Enter . "
The wooden door slowly opened with a bit of squeak . a.s.sistant Liu entered .
"CEO, the meeting with the madam will be a quarter of an hour from now . " he reminded .
Verdan Zhou flicked on his signature on the doc.u.ment in his hand before standing up .
He strode out of his office, a.s.sistant Liu just behind him .
When the CEO entered the VIP elevator, he swiftly pivoted to look face-to-face his a.s.sistamt .
"Stay here . " He ordered .
Liu Fei Long had cold sweats . He would probably better off looking for another job .
.
Verdan Zhou drove his new gray Peugeot 508 . The restaurant is about 10 minutes away, but considering the flow of traffic, he might be late at this point .
As he drove, he was trying to compose in his mind how to gently turn down his mother, who seemed to remain persistent on marrying him off to Madeline Song . He won"t be surprised if this is a setup for them to meet .
"Mr . Zhou, this way, please . " A pretty waitress gestured as she led him to a private room .
She left after he was led to a closed door .
He turned the k.n.o.b with irritation in his mind .
To his surprise, the room was dimly lit, with no one occupying the seats .
Suddenly, his vision turned black .
