23 Sugar Queen (7)

Once I was done making a great first encounter with the female lead, I went back to the office. As soon as I got to my floor Li Na rushed over to me. "Miss, we have a problem." Raising my eyebrows, I go on the sofa and asked her to proceed.

"While you were away your cousin called for a shareholder meeting, he's trying to oust you with the reason that you married into another company family." Li Na explained. I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my mouth, 'What kind of stupid reason is that the branch families must really want the control of the An family.' I thought. Not seeing this situation as a real problem, I dismissed Li Na telling her everything will be fine. Hearing the door close I stood and walked over to the big window and looked at the city below.

'Momo, could the branch family have ties with the secret enemy who wants to hurt the An family.' I asked.

[Dear host, I do not have that kind of information.] Momo said in a voice that I could have sworn sounded like sadness.

Letting out a sigh, it was a long shot but I knew these mission wouldn't be that easy. Sitting down, I thought that it was about time the male and female lead had a common interest.

ZiHe's PoV

I was working non-stop in my office, trying to finish as much work for the company so I could return to my investigation. The four days I used with Su Mei to follow a lead turned into a dead end, only making me angrier. I did feel bad for Su Mei for ruining her first honeymoon, even if this whole relationship is fake I didn't want her to hate this entire experience. Thinking of a way to make it up to my close friend, I was interrupted by knocking on my door.

Returning to my professional self, I granted entry to the person. A petite blonde in a yellow dress entered with a handful of documents in her hands. "Hello sir, I was told to bring these files by Manager Han. Its contain the details on the Anderson project." She said.

When I heard her voice it was the sweetest sound to me, it was light and soothing like music to the ears. Noticing the sound stop, I looked at her and formed her staring waiting for a response. Clearing my throat, "Thank you, miss?" I asked waiting

Noticing she never introduced herself made the petite lady blush from embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan. My name is Fan MeiLi, the new designer in the creative department." Keeping my face neutral, I nodded my head then looked over the project details. Finding nothing wrong, I handed them back to Miss Fan with a smile.

"Is this your first project with the company?" I asked her with crossed arms. She kept silent and just nodded to my question. Giving her a warm smile, "That's great! I expect big things from you, Miss Fan." After making that statement I dismissed her and waited for the door to close. Hearing the click, I put a hand on my heart in confusion, knowing I never felt this way before.

Fan MeiLi's PoV

Leaving Mr. Tan's office I had to put a hand on my heart to calm myself. It was like I was hit by a strong force and it made me shake when I first laid my eyes on Tan ZiHe. He was the most breathtaking guy I ever met, and I felt like I fell in love at first sight. When he stared at me earlier, I couldn't help the blush that tinted my cheeks.

Walking in a daze back to my department, I shook myself out of the haze of feelings. According to the news, Mr. Tan just got married to the heiress of the An family. Even if I felt like I belonged with Tan ZiHe, I would never be that woman who split up a family. Clenching my fist, I pushed my emotion to the back and focused on my work.

When Momo replayed the leads first real feelings to me, I understood the fate that tied them together. 'Falling in love at first sight, is that going to happen to all the leads in each world?' Also, this isn't the first time they met so why are they just falling in love?' I asked Momo while I was getting drove home.

[Dear host, to answer your first question, my boss tied a string of fate to the world leads, so they would have better chances of meeting and falling in love. For your next question, even though the two leads met they never really notice each other. Our poor target was the stepping stone needed for them to see each other in a different light.] Momo explained.
