Someone from the past

Wang Lu's brows bumped together in a scowl as he looked out his car window. It wasn't the fact that his flight got delayed or the fact that he had been sitting in his car for nearly two hours due to the traffic on the road that had him riled up.

It was the weird feeling that had been in his chest since he walked out of the airport and stepped into this city.

City S was one of the most beautiful cities in the country known for its wonderful and modern architecture. It also had one of the most beautiful and green public parks in the world.

Looking at the green park he suddenly thought of the one person he didn't want to. Feng Mei.

As an artist, she was a lover of nature. Something about nature inspiring her as an artist. She would have enjoyed sitting in this park as she drew.

Wang Lu massaged his temples as frustration crinkled in his eyes.

A memory flashed before his eyes, Feng Mei with a blissful smile on her face had closed her eyes against the bright sunlight, as she absorbed its warmth. She had looked heavenly divine that he couldn't look away. He had been captivated by her. Slowly opening her eyes, she had caught him staring at her. Their eyes had locked as time stood still and everything around them disappeared.

Wang Lu slammed his eyes shut and clenched his fist when he realized he was thinking of her again. He tried not to think about anything that would excite his memories with her. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Wang Lu felt a heaviness in his chest as he tried to forget the memories. But as they say, "You can't let go of memories because they are constant reminders of a great story you never expected to end."

Suddenly his phone rang bringing him out of his trance. Glancing briefly at the caller ID, Wang Lu narrowed his eyes.

Here he was trying to forget another woman but the other had been continuously annoying him with marriage.

Lisa Shen was the daughter of his mother's best friend. Even though they had been engaged for two years now, he had hardly seen her. The only reason he had agreed to her being his fiancée was because of his mother.

At first, when he thought that once he got engaged with Lisa, he would forget Feng Mei but when he was with her, all he does was compare the two.

He had never touched her or anyone since Feng Mei left. He had tried but every time he touched someone, he would subconsciously think about Feng Mei's pure face.

He knew he was crazy for still loving the woman who had cheated on him, but that's what love does.

It makes people crazy.

********

Wearing a tight black pencil shirt that reached her knee, and a white long sleeve blouse. Yan Mei paired it with a six-inched stiletto that showed off her legs.

"Sorry I'm late," she declared in fluent English as she entered the boardroom.

"Feng Mei?"

She heard someone call out from the other side of the room and she immediately turned towards the source.

Her eyes met a deep-set of chocolate eyes that were filled with different emotions. Shock, relief, guilt and happiness. The man had a strong jawline and high cheekbone that went perfectly with his dark brown hair.

Yan Mei stood paralyzed staring at the handsome man in front of her. Her deadpan expression gave nothing away but her shaking hand that was clutching her purse betrayed her inner turmoil. She watched him as he got up from his chair and walked towards her.

Yan Mei was brought out of her stupor when she felt him pull her into his arms. Hugging her tightly as if he was afraid that she would disappear.

"I… can't…. believe it's really you! God, I hope this isn't a dream," he said as he started muttering incoherent words.

Yan Mei heard gasps from people around her, it was then that realization hit her.

She was standing in a boardroom hugging someone. She immediately pulled back, making the man lose his balance.

The man's eyes went wide when Yan Mei pulled back from him. He was about to pull her back when he heard his father's cold voice behind him.

"What do you think you're doing hugging Miss Yan?"

He felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him!

"Miss Yan," he queried.

She was the famous iron lady of the business world? But how could she look exactly like Feng Mei?

He blinked several times hoping he was hallucinating but the woman was still in front of him—looking at him with an indifferent face.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yan. Forgive my son. He just came from abroad—"

"Let's start the meeting."

Yan Mei coldly interrupted him then she sat on her chair, wanting the meeting to begin ASAP.

Throughout the meeting, she could feel the man's intense gaze on her but she ignored him. Inwardly rolling her eyes.

'How can she meet this guy?'

The moment the meeting ended, the man had almost chased her, ignoring the weird stares he was receiving.

Throughout the meeting, she had avoided his gaze. He could see the difference in her. The woman in front of him was so different from the Feng Mei he knew but at the same time, looked like her.

His father had tried to convince him that she wasn't Feng Mei but she was the young miss of the Yan family, Yan Mei. The CEO of number one jewelry company in City S.

The woman looked like the confident and witty version of Feng Mei. The Feng Mei he knew was shy and innocent.

But the cold and aloof face of this woman was the typical CEO look. The dangerous aura surrounding her made him began to doubt if she was really Feng Mei.

But why did she look so much like Feng Mei? Why did she speak like her?

Yan Mei breathed a sigh of relief once she got out of the building.

She never thought she would be meeting someone from her past soon. In order to avoid any confrontation with the man, she quickly got into her car and left.

Oblivious to Yan Mei, the moment she left, Wang Lu's car stopped at the place her car was previously parked.
