Words I Was Afraid To Hear

Though his sister"s reaction was not normal in the engagement ceremony, her next actions were consistent to what was expected . The day following Dan"s engagement ceremony, Midori had booked a flight to City T . Also, even though she sneaked to go out with him the night before, there was no hint of hesitation when Masaichi sent her and his son to the airport .

Masaichi was in deep thoughts throughout the car ride to the company building . He remembered the words of Madam Ming .

"How lucky you are to have survived a rain of bullets . Too bad your little wife was not so lucky . "

He clenched his fists . It took all the restraints he had in him not to kill her at that moment .

The press release on their incident was that it was merely a traffic accident, no a.s.sa.s.sination plot involved .

Speaking these words not only revealed Madam Ming"s involvement, they were also to challenge the Xiu household . It was like declaring that she indeed plotted against them . However, they cannot do anything without conclusive evidence .

Masaichi had a hunch that since she failed on taking him out, she would plan another attack on his family . This is why he was prepared to send his sister and son away as soon as possible . He even planned to kidnap Midori into his private jet if she objects . Fortunately, though unexpectedly, she agreed to fly back to City T without a word of objection .

A lady in a woven red turtleneck sweater under a navy blue trenchcoat, with black tight pants and a pair of boots strode in the hallway of an apartment complex . Her mouth was moving as she was chewing some gum .

She stopped at a familiar door and pressed the buzzer . She was sending a message on her phone while waiting for the door to open .

On the other side of the door, two people were cuddling in the bedroom .

"Hey, what would you have done if Ms . Xiu took me to Country N with her?"

Mich.e.l.le Park frowned . Before she could answer him, the buzzer sounded .

Riley Adams furrowed his brows . He was not expecting anyone . When he got up, he had an uncomfortable feeling . "I need to use the bathroom . " He told Mich.e.l.le .

"Okay . I"ll get it . " She smiled and walked away to answer the door .

The lady at the door spoke without looking up from her phone when she heard the door open . "Hey Riles, can I leave Scotch for you for awhile . . . " She was surprised to see someone else at the door . "Oh, h.e.l.lo . . . "

Mich.e.l.le was dumfounded on seeing the lady standing outside, a golden retriever about the size of b.u.t.ter obediently sitting next to her .

Ming Rushi handed her resignation letter to the deputy CEO of ZFC in City B .

"Manager Ming, are you really sure about this?"

"I really appreciate the good treatment here, CEO Parsons . However, I think it"s time I go back home . Since the headquarters did not approve my transfer, this is my only option . "

To be fair, Ming Rushi is good at her job . Though her grades were not good back in high school, she persevered in her undergraduate education as to not waste the opportunity .

She exited the company and went straight to the airport .

The receptionist greeted her and led her to the human resources department .

"So, Ms . Ming, you had just resigned from ZFC in City B . Why didn"t you just transfer to their main branch here?"

Ming Rushi knows that she cannot explain why her transfer was not approved . She had a professional smile . "Mr . Lin, I had decided for a long time that I will give myself a fresh start on coming home . Being in the same industry felt like I let myself get trapped . I believe that though the different products could bring in a fresh air in my career, your company, being a business, operates similarly to ZFC . Therefore, I believe that my knowledge and skills could be of help, at the same time, they will be honed by competent supervision from my superiors . "

"Hmmm . . . indeed . " Director Lin nodded and browsed through her file .

Ming Rushi had a bright smile, her eyes had a hint of vengeance .
