Chapter 181 - There Is A Package For You
"You are really going? "
"Yes, any problem with that? "
Su Min asked raising an eyebrow. His sister had just been finding fault in everything he did since the past few weeks. One of the days, he commanded his secretary not to let her into his office and to tell her that he was in a meeting if she asked why, when she found out, hell broke loose!
She flared up and had barked unendingly at him, if not for his unending apologies and promises never to do that again, she would definitely not have left him in peace.
"Really?, don't tell me that's it's because of that woman you are going to that party. You're not yet over that woman, are you?"
Su Miao was in her usual skimpy clothes. This time, she had dyed her long hair red and tied it up letting it fall to her back. She wore a crop top and designer mini skirt with matching heels.
Su Min had not raised his eyes to look at her since she entered the office, and when he did, he realized that she had come ready for him.
He could tell that any wrong word from him would set his office on fire, so he immediately let out a tight smile.
"Sweet sister, I never said anything about going to the party for any woman, did I?. You of all people should know that this is a very important gathering and friends in this business circle are expected to be there.
It would look unusual if I'm not there given my status in the business world and of course our business relationship with Liu Wei's company.
Dearest sister, why do you always bring up this woman whom I've not even met? Besides I'm going to the party with a date, so I can't leave her to hook up with another woman, don't you think?"
Su Min spoke persuasively. He smiled at his sister, as though urging her to see the sincerity in his words. Su Miao stared at him for a while, then narrowed her eyes and shook her head repeatedly.
"I don't believe you. I don't believe you. You promised mom that you would marry the girl she got for you the last time and even swore that she was the perfect bride, but what did you do? after sleeping with her and getting your satisfaction, you still dumped her! So why should I believe you? "
Su Miao asked folding her arms. She knew her brother well enough. If he wanted something, he would try his possible best to get it, no matter the cost.
Su Min rubbed his temples and sighed.
"Sister, can you tell me what wrong I did to you to deserve this unending pestering from you? uh?"
Su Miao feigned a concerned frown and walked closer to the table.
"Su Min brother, I just want you to be a good boy. You're the only son and you have lots of responsibilities on your hands, but sadly you don't see that.
If you get into a scandal you know what it would mean for our company, right? "
"For God's sake, I'm not a boy!. You came out first does not mean that you're older and for crying out loud, I've not met this woman yet!"
Su Min was getting angry. He breathed out heavily and rubbed his temples again.
"The way you're so persistent on this matter, don't tell me that it's mom who's behind this, has she gotten another woman? "
"No way! She did not send me. I'm doing this for you ...and for the good of the company. "
Su Miao denied immediately. Her cheeks reddened as bit and she bit her lower lip defeatedly when she saw the look on Su Min's face, indicating that he was seeing through her lies.
"How much is she paying you to do this, I'll double it, in fact I'll triple the amount!"
Su Min knew his sister. She never had time for him talk more of the company. She was always busy modeling and traveling around the world, and when she is finally less busy, she would spend the free time with friends at the club.
The only way she would waste her time with him was when it involved their parents, their mom especially. She had been trying unendingly to get a woman for him to settle down with but he was still too young and most importantly, he wanted to choose a woman for himself.
"It's not mom, I swear. But Su Min, this one is very pretty, I assure you, you'll like her!."
Su Miao's voice was no longer authoritative and commanding. She was almost pleading with him now. She walked over to the visito's seat and sat down.
"But you just said it was not mom! "
"Yes! but still she's really pretty!"
"Su Miao! "
"Su Min! "
Su Miao smiled mischievously at him. He glared at her for a while then finally sighed.
"Tell mom I'll think about it, but first, promise to leave me in peace. "
"I promise!, and I'm traveling to France tomorrow, wish me luck dear brother! "
Su Miao grinned. She was no longer the fierce Miao Miao, Su Min glared at her, then smiled.
"Good luck, and please don't come back anytime soon!."
"Noted! "
Su Miao laughed and skipped away, closing the office door behind her.
Su Min let out a relieved sigh as the door closed, returning his office back to its usual quietness.
....
"Miss Da Xia, there is a package for you. "
Da Xia's secretary pushed open the door after two knocks.
Da Xia was on a call, so she pointed at an empty space on her table signaling for her secretary to place the package there.
The secretary kept the small package on the table, then left the office.
The call took a while, it was not after thirty extra minutes that she was finally through. She placed her phone on the table and continued what she was doing before, totally forgetting the package.
These days, she had been very preoccupied with work, it was almost the end of the year, so she was eagerly looking forward to winning the award for the best staff of the year.
Though she was still worried about that woman in Liu Wei's home, she did not put much thought to it given that his father did not approve of her and Liu Wei would not stoop so low to have an affair with a common housemaid!
She wanted to win the award, so maybe Liu Wei would notice her hard work and diligence this time and maybe start liking her.
Last time during the meeting, he had cut her off midway through her speech, and called the meeting to an end. She felt so embarrassed and stupid, Liu Wei never called off any meeting, he would rather work overtime than adjourn a meeting, so that day when he called off the meeting, she felt as though she was at fault. He did not even glance at her, he just walked out of the meeting room staring at his phone!
She tried to keep up a smile although she felt so hurt!
Her zeal to win that award doubled. She vowed to prove herself to him. Maybe then he would finally look at her.
Da Xia let out a small smile as she continued working on her laptop with all vigour.
