My Boss Is A Lady

Staring casually into his eyes, the tears she has been holding in her eyes broke loose within the lids of bondage and rolled down her cheeks. It didn't take up to a minute before her eyes turned red. "You really didn't care, did you?" Her shaky voice nearly succeeded in bringing the young man in front of her, to his knees. "I-I di-did... This is a mis-take... Don't be li-like this..." "Like what?!" She screamed! Her hand already flying in the air towards his face... But... Someone held her hand from behind. Prepared to vent the anger on the person behind her through redirecting the slap meant for the man in front of her, she turns unsuccessfully forcing her hand out of his grip. The hot tears that were gushing down her face this whole time dripped more profusely. Her red face started calming down when she saw the man behind her. Her pink lips forming an oval shape that signified her shock. "Haoran...?" The man smiles handsomely with his eyes displaying happiness in them. "Yes... It's me" She slowly buried her head into the chest of the man and wept in pain, punching his chest lightly and murmuring. "Why didn't you go? It's an opportunity that can't be-?" "It isn't an opportunity that will make this company flourish. If it is, it won't make me leave you" Hearing his voice made her cry the more. She looks tattered, and poverty seems to be her identity. The siren of the police vehicles engulfs the air and the man who attempts to run away got handcuffed before he even realized he needs to move. The eyes of Haoran scan Haozi dreadfully as the woman cried on his chest. "Where are the others?" ******* Experience the journey of Haoran and Ai Mi as they work hard to retain the biggest company of Japan, and discover so many missing people in their lives. Standing for each other is their virtue.

The Board Meeting - 1

A Meeting? For what?

Or is it the board meeting? But, we haven't prepared yet!

Haoran tries his best to calm himself down as he gathers his files and the pitches he spent the night creating.

"Where are you going?" Zhi'ai asks, seeing him stand up

"Aren't they calling for a meeting?" Haoran grumbles

Zhi'ai then flashes him a smile that makes him look silly.

"It isn't for us, silly. It's for the department leaders"

Oh...

Haoran blinks and then turns to Bella for confirmation. She nods at him with a small smile as she exits the department.

"Then why can't the announcer just come inside and tell her in private?" Haoran sounds pissed off.

He has been thinking of last night and the thoughts has made his day. In a very bad way though.

He opens the designing software on his computer as he sat down on his chair lazily. Everyone notices the mood swing immediately and dared not to say a word seeing his apparent bad mood.

But someone thought it'd be wise to ask.

"Are you worried about the board meeting?"

Haoran traces the voice of the speaker to his side and saw Sheng staring at him with an extremely cute pair of eyes. It made everyone else to smile but Haoran just stared, unimpressed.

"Not funny" he says and taps on the mouse, creating a new tab on the browser that just opened on his computer.

"What's with the face?" Sheng continues. This time, facing his own laptop and not Haoran.

"Nothing interesting"

"Anything that makes the new people frown must be interesting" Mr Wu Hang says and everyone bursts into little giggles.

Haoran found nothing funny in what he said but he just rolls with the flow and allowing just a little of the corner of his lips raise in a charming smile.

Zhi'ai stares at him adorably, but in a desirable way.

Even if Haoran notices, he pretended to to be more serious with his work as the smile disappeared in an instant.

To him, it made him look serious so that Zhi'ai could stop staring at him. But to her, it only made him a more and more handsome man to look at.

Noticing the awkward stare, Mr Wu Hang stands up from his seat with his pen and a piece of paper in his hand. He walks to Zhi'ai and drop the two on her desk, whispering in her ear in order for her to come back to her senses.

"Keep at it, and it'll only make you look more ugly"

Zhi'ai was a bit late to turn to him to ask what that meant, because he had already left back to his seat. Her eyes went to the paper in front of her and her eyes widened at the ugly illustration that Wu Hang managed to sketch out in order to let her know that the drawing was exactly how she looked when she stared at Haoran.

This made her grit her teeth in anger. She grabbed the paper and tore it to pieces, grabbing her file and walking out of the department.

Everyone watches, even Haoran from the corner of his eyes, as Zhi'ai left the department angry.

Not long after she left, she came back with a surprised and exhausting look on her face.

"What's with the face?" Sheng asks.

She raises the file she left with and utters "It's time for the board meeting"

****

Ai Mi quickly put the diary away, hiding it under her large hat.

"Come in"

The door leading to her office opens and Zhi Ruo enters.

She's wearing a yellow, glittery dress and yellow heels. She has black shades on and her hair is let down, it's very obvious it's a wig. A wig that has yellow dyes at the tip.

Ai Mi sizes her up before finally staring at her in the eyes.

"Good morning, Miss Ai Mi" Zhi Ruo says. Unlike old Zhi Ruo who would postrate and be all afraid, New Zhi Ruo walks upto Ai Mi with a canny smile on like she just won a lottery.

"Why are you coming now?"

Hearing her question made Zhi Ruo become stiff.

Ai Mi immediately picked her hesitation. Was she expecting something else?

"Grab a cup of coffee for me, Ai Mi"

The words made Ai Mi feel sick.

She widens her eyss in shock and wonder. Did her assistant just call her by her name? Well, look who just grew some horns!

Ai Mi tardily stands up from the cushion chair. Pretending to do as she's told, she walks to the door and exits the office. She went one step down, two steps down, three steps, four steps, five steps and then paused.

"What's wrong, Miss-"

Ai Mi raises her index finger to her lips, indicating that the worker should shut up. Which he does immediately.

Ai Mi's ears stands erect hearing the laughter coming from her office.

"Munchen? It worked! I'm so happy right now! GJP is ours!"

Just as she expected. A spell on her dressing.

Ai Mi turns back and storms back to her office, opening the door calmly.

"Yes, I am in her office now... Yes... Ah, don't worry, my dear, she won't come back anytime soon... Okay... Bye!" Zhi Ruo hangs up and walks to Ai Mi's desk.

"I finally got you, Ai Mi Bao. GJP is finally-"

The whole room became a graveyard. Ai Mi staring at Zhi Ruo. Zhi Ruo at Ai Mi.

The cup of coffee in Ai Mi's hand raises to her mouth as she took a long sip, not breaking the eye contact.

Zhi Ruo felt her world shatter to pieces. Her body wanting to sublime but really can't.

"The members of the board meeting are here. Announce that the meeting is going to be held now"

Ai Mi says and walks into the office, dropping the cup on the tall shelf before she walks to her desk. Zhi Ruo adjusted without being told and still remained stuck to the ground, forgetting what Ai Mi asked her to do.

"Are you deaf? I just told you that the meeting is now. Or should I announce it myself?"

Zhi Ruo left the office in a hurry. Ai Mi watching closely.

What is in her pockets?
