3 We Meet Again

An Jia's interview was scheduled for ten in the morning, as the morning person she is; An Jia awoke at a little before seven and started preparations. By the time she was dressed in a professional attire and walk downstairs she found out that her uncle who they had discuss that An Jia will hitch a ride with had suddenly received a call early in the morning to head to the office right away.

An Jia did not expect things to turn out the way it had however she still have plenty of time before the appointment therefore she helped her aunt prepare breakfast.

It was almost eight thirty when Gu Liang comes down in his school uniform and backpack sling over one shoulder. The girl who seem to have an incident last night was cheerful and beaming so early in the morning. Perhaps An Jia felt that someone was staring at her, she turn to look at the entrance to see Gu Liang staring straightly at her. The smile on her face slowly starts to fade.

"Both of you looks crazy." Gu Liang walks towards the table of food. "Soon, I'll mean no existence to this family."

Before Gu Liang was able to grab a piece of toast, An Suyan ruffles onto his hair. "This little man of mine. Are you jealous?"

"Ah! Ma! You're ruining my hair!"

The scene in front of An Jia made her a little envious. It would have been nice to wake up to find her mother preparing breakfast but reality hits her and she realize that no matter how much she hoped and wished, her parents will not wake up from the dead.

An Jia finished her cup of coffee and grabs her briefcase that was sitting on the counter-top. "I'll take my leave first."

Before An Suyan gets a chance to call out to An Jia, she already left the front door. Gu Liang and his mother exchange a few glances with question marks. Gu Liang shrugs his shoulders and left after shortly.

Picking up the pace and soon Gu Liang was able to catch up to An Jia. He was walking side by side with her towards the bus station.

"Jiejie, I've been meaning to ask you, last night—"

She pauses her steps and cuts him off. "About last night… don't tell your parents about it."

"It's not my business anyways." Gu Liang waved his hands gesturing it won't be a problem.

While they were waiting for the bus to arrive, the two stood side by side awkwardly. Soon the bus arrives, and both scan their pass before seating themselves towards the back of the bus.

Although it was a short ride, An Jia felt it took a lifetime. The bus soon stops at Gu Liang's station. Gu Liang did not bother to bid farewell nor did An Jia ask for one. They went their separate way silently.

An Jia glance at her watch which reads 9:50 am. She had arrived at Ye Corporation a little early. As she stands feet away from the entrance, she admires the view. It was her first time seeing such tall building. She was both excited and nervous at the same time.

If the interview did not go as planned and she fails, it means she'll have to start looking for another job.

An Jia clutches onto her briefcase before making her way to the front receptionist.

"How may I help you?" A young lady greeted her respectfully.

"Hello, my name is An Jia and I have an appointment with Mr. Shen from the Accounting department at ten." An Jia briefly introduced herself and her reason for today.

"Ah! Miss An. Mr. Shen have been waiting for you. You can head up those elevators to the fifteen-floor, that's where the Accounting Department is. Mr. Shen's office is to your right."

An Jia bow her head and bid farewell to the young receptionist before making her way to the elevators. An Jia was waiting for the elevator to come down when two men appear besides her. The corner of her eyes sees a tall man in a black tailored suit reading from the paperwork in his hand.

"President Ye, about the dinner, will you be joining Miss Lin?"

"Cancel."

"Mr. Liu from KG Enterprise have scheduled an appointment to meet with you this afternoon."

"Cancel."

"You have a meeting with the internal Directors in regard to the North Region Project at two in the afternoon."

"Have my secretary bring me the documents."

"Yes, President."

An Jia did not mean to eavesdrop on the conversation but someone the voice of this 'President' sounds familiar.

The door of the elevator opens and the three of them enters. An Jia made way for the two gentlemen to enter first and follows after.

"Ma'am, which floor?"

"Fifteen."

"Accounting Department?" The man who seems to be an assistant asked before pressing the fifteen-floor button.

"Yes, I'm here for an interview."

An Jia's voice made the other man lift up his head to look at her. When the two's eyes met, An Jia widen her eyes. "It's you!" She accidentally raises her voice in surprise before covering her mouth with her hands.

The tall man refocuses back on the documents in his hand. "It appears that mouth of yours can only shout."

An Jia's face was red as a tomato due to embarrassment.

"President, do you know this woman?"

"She's not important."

Before An Jia could say anything back, the elevator had reached her floor. An Jia quietly left the lift and head towards her destination.

Inside the elevator, heading to the presidential floor, Ye Shizhan said without lifting his eyes off from the paper in his hands. "Mo Bai, get me all the information you have on that woman earlier."
