SHE-DEVIL 14

Miss Zhao walked into Mr Lu's office. Happiness showed all over her face, and she sat there on the couch.

'. Lisha why are you so happy?'. He sat with her handing her a cup of tea.

'. Thank you!'. She takes it.

'. Did you get into some kind of trouble?'.

'. Trouble?...'.

'. You seem extremely happy!'.

'. Let's just say I wish to be happy today!'.

'. Did you get some therapy?'. He whispered.

'. In your dreams!!'.

'. [Smiles] Say what brought you here!'.

'. Did you know that I graduated from the same school as you?'.

'. [Confused]'.

'. You don't get it?.... what I meant was, we both graduated from the same school even though I was younger!'. She stared at him.

'. Fever?'. He places his hand on her forehead and his.

'. I am serious!'. She drops her hand.

'. Just say what you want, you don't have to beat around the bush!'.

'. Really? Anything?'.

'. Just say it!'.

'. Dad returned from Korea not long ago, he asked me to bring you to him!'.

'. Really?'.

'. Um!'. She nodded.

'. I am pretty occupied for the week....how about next week?'.

'. Okay, we will be expecting you next weekend!'.

'. [Smiles]'.

Well, though Lu Si Cheng and Zhao Lisha aren't on good terms, childhood memories can't be erased as long as they are together.

Mr. Hun and Mr. Shanggue stood there staring at Miss Xia as she went through some files handed to her by staff.

'. [Sighs]'.

'. Shanggue, you aren't going to let her take your position, are you?'.

'. Mr Hun, no one is taking anything from me...it's her duty to support me!'.

'. Her duty?..... I think it's the other way!'.

'. [Sighs], Grandpa has always wanted Xia to be in charge, nothing I do is beneficiary to him...I just have to accept fate.

'. [Smiles], Mr. Shanggue are you giving up already?'.

'. I would rather die than let Xia get all she wants!!'.

'. Now you are talking Shanggue!.....how about we deal with her?'.

'. Deal with her? [Scoffs], Xia isn't someone we can mess with, she can bring us down in a twinkle of an eye!'.

'. What shall will do then?'.

'. Let's beat her in her own game!'.

'. Looking forward to seeing what you have got!'. Mr Hun walked away.

'. [I am sorry Xia, but some things can't be avoided!]'. He sighed as he walked away.

Miss Xia left the company. She went to Future Group company, heading to Mr Lu's office.

'. I mean, who gives their girlfriend a taco for her birthday?'. Miss Zhao asked as Mr Lu laughed.

'. What's wrong with having a taco as a present?'.

'. I can get some tacos myself...I don't need someone to do that!'.

'. You have got to learn how to appreciate things, okay?'.

'. That's not my point!.....take a look at this also!'.

'. Okay?'.

'. Who gives their girlfriends a sanitary pad for Christmas!!'.

'. Wait!....what!!'. He laughed.

'. This isn't funny...Baby I got you these sanitary pads for Christmas, hope you like them!!'. She mimicked her voice.

'. [Laughing hard]'.

'. I would never date a weirdo!'.

'. Are you being serious right now?'.

'. Of course, I am!.....why would you date someone who suddenly is interested in witchcraft and magic after watching the movie Harry Potter!!'.

'. [Laughing].....it's....called..obsession..!!'. He laughed.

'. Crazy!!'.

Mr Lin Ba walked in with Miss Xia. They stood there staring at Mr Lu who was literally on the fall.

'. I have seen a lot of crazy beings, but not this type!'. She whispered to Mr Ba.

'. This is called the power of childhood!'. They both nodded their heads.

'. Lu Si Cheng, you got a new employee!'. Mr Lu got up and sat down.

'. Miss Xia?...how long have you been here?'.

'. [Judging from my point of view, it should be since the discovery of space!]'.

'. Miss Xia?'.

'. Not long ago!'.

'. I see....please sit!'.

'. Thank you!'.

'. You must be wondering who this is?'. He turned to Miss Zhao.

'. [What a beauty!]'.

'. This is Miss Xia, the granddaughter of Mr Ài!'.

'. Oh! I see'.

'. And this is...Miss Zhao, is the biggest shareholder of the Zhao family.

'. It's nice to meet you!'. They had handshakes.

'. Something came up, I am leaving!'.

'. Oh!'.

'. Bye, Miss Xia!'. She waved and walked away.

'. She is so cute!!'. Miss Xia turned to Mr Lu.

'. We are childhood friends.

'. [Who would have thought that the cold hero on my list had a friend!]'.

'. You are here for business, aren't you?'.

'. 100% right!'.

'. So where shall we start from?'.

'. Are you willing to work with us?'. She slowly asks him.

'. [Sighs], as long as I don't get disappointed in the future, I am willing!'.

'. Yes!!,[you finally cracked the nut open! go on Mei Xia!!]'.

'. So shall we?'.

'. Definitely yes!'. She smiled.

After a long day discussing business, they finally concluded.

'. That's it !'.

'. [Sighs] Thanks for your time!'.

'. It's nothing!'.

'. I should get going!'.

'. Mind If I drop you off?'.

'. Do not worry about that, Mr Lu, I am fine!'.

'. Okay!....bye!'. She walked out of the office.

'. [For some reason, I doubt that Miss Xia is Mei Lien!]'.

Mei Xia walked to her car. She sighed heavily.

'. Already tired at the beginning of the game?'. Mulang asked standing at the door of the car.

'. Not really! I just can't believe I made it through this level!'.

'. As long as your name remains Mei Xia, is there nothing you can't break through!'.

'. Thank you!'. She smiled at him.

'. Let's go!'.

'. Wait!'.

'. Are you forgetting something?'.

'. You guys take a taxi, have got something important to deal with!'. She said as she saw Lei Wuije walking out of the company.

'. Are you sure you don't want me to tag along?'.

'. No need, I can handle this myself!'.

'. Okay!'.

'. Mr Lei!!'. She called walking to him.

'. [What is she doing here?]'.

'. Hello!'. She finally got to him.

'. Miss Xia, it's nice to meet you!'. He hugged her.

'. Look at you looking all handsome!'.

'. Handsome? Miss Xia stop pulling my legs!'.

'. Oh!....what are you doing here?'.

'. Me?.... I came to submit some files!'.

'. Ah!.... I was about to leave to have lunch, want to tag along?'.

'. Sure!'.

Miss Xia drove to the restaurant. They sat there with their order.

'. Do you get bullied in the company?'. Miss Xia asked.

'. Bullied?...why do you say so?'.

'. Judging from your expression when I met you at the company you seemed rather upset about something!'.

'. [Smiles], Miss Xia you sure care about me!'.

'. As business partners, I think it's normal to do so!'.

'. [You must have missed me! Business partners? just say you want me back! Mei Lien?], so why were you at the company?'.

'. As a businesswoman roaming around the business world, I met with Mr Lu who offered to help!'.

'. So...are we still business partners?'.

'. Of course, Mr Lei!'.

'. [Smiles]'.

'. Since I am making your business grow, I need to deal with some things!'.

'. What type of things?'.

'. Taking down your enemies!.... I hate business rivals, even though I most times enjoy the fun!'. She smiled.

'. My enemies?.....why would a small company as Lei company have a business rival?'.

'. [Smiles], if not, why are you still a little company?'.

'. You do make sense!'.

'. Or are you saying it's your fault or rather the company's fault?'.

'. No! no!.....my company has always been the best!'.

'. That settles it then!...tell me the names and they will be all gone!'.

'. [You are useful to me!]'.

'. [Sighs]'.

'. I only have two rivals.....they are a pain in my neck!'.

'. Go on!'.

'. Mr Lu and Miss Qian!'.

'. Mr Lu is your boss!'.

'. I know.....I have tried several times to make our relationship work but he keeps reminding me of who I am, I want him out, only then can I be rest assured!'.

'. If you say so!'.

'. As for Miss Qian?'.

'. Mr Lei do not worry, you will get some news!'.

'. I usually have trust issues, but for some reason, I find myself believing you even when I don't want to!'.

'.[Smiles] Mr Lei, I look forward to seeing you becoming a rising star in Beijing city!'. She smiles.

'. If it happens!..... I might as well make you my wife!'.

'. Here is my card!....if you need anything, just a call!'.

'. Okay, Miss Xia!'. They got up.

'. It's nice doing business with you!'.

'. I will get going now!'. She smiled and walked to her car.

'. [ watch me play Game of Thrones live!!]'. She smiled.

Fan Yin and Kui Mulang stood there in the office waiting for Mei Xia to return. With them was a lady.

'. Xia seems to be pretty busy lately!'.

'. This is just the beginning!'.

'. Can I ask a question?'. She slightly raised her hand.

'. What is it?....do you need something?'.

'. I want to ask how Mei Lien became this rich?'.

'. Point of correction! She is not Mei Lien!'.

'. I am here!'. She walked into the office.

'. You are finally back!'.

'. She?...'.

'. The lady you met at the entrance!'.

'. Ah!!'.

'. Mei Lien!.... I missed you!!'. She hugged her.

'. Wait a minute!!'. She slightly pushed her back.

'. Didn't you miss me?'.

'. Who are you to Mei Lien?'.

'. I am her friend. We were friends at work!'.

'. Really?'.

'. Um!'.

'. Do you know how she died?'. Mei Xia as she slowly sat down.

'. I don't know what happened, all I know is that she called me one night crying.....but, I couldn't hear what she was saying!'.

'. Okay!'.

'. Why do you look so much like Lien?'.

'. I am not Miss Lien, it's a coincidence to have the same faces with people!'.

'. You aren't her!..... Lien won't wear something as short and exposing as that!'.

'. [Smiles].....you sure know your friend!'.

'. Um!'.

'. You have to answer my question, and say nothing but the truth!'.

'. Oh!'.

'. Why were you trying to force yourself on Mr Lu?'.

'. Mr Lu Is a good man and very handsome!'.

'. I said nothing but the truth!'.

'. I was sent!!..... I didn't want to do it, but I couldn't refuse!'. She knelt.

'. She is Hu Chuxi, she's from Hong Kong. She works for Lei company, but recently got fired for no reason!'. Fan Yin said.

'. Why were you fired?'.

'. I caught my boss and his secretary making out...I got fired in an instant!'.

'. I see....so who sent you to Mr Lu?'.

'. After I got fired, Miss Xiabo said that if I tried to force myself on Mr. Lu and got caught by the paparazzi, I would be accepted back to the company....but after I did it, I wasn't accepted, I had to look for a job!'. She said.

'. Hu Chuxi!....Hu Chuxi!'. Miss Xia got up calling her name.

'. What do you want to do to her?'.

'. Chuxi!'.

'. Ah!'.

'. You will be working as my secretary!'.

'. Ah!!'. They shouted.

'. Miss Xia, what if she is a spy!'. Mulang said.

'. Mulang, I know my own game!'. She smiled.

'. Thank you!'.

'. Get up!'. Hu Chuxi got up.

'. While you work as my secretary.....you have to do me a favor!'.

'. Say whatever you want!'.

'. Miss Xiabo might need you when she finds out you work here....so you will be playing by my rules!'. She smiled
