A Billion Dollar Exchange

Jin Yue drove as fast as he could to the company. He was driving so fast that the journey of 30 minutes he completed it in 20. When he arrived, he went straight to the elevator and up to his office. He walked to his drawer and threw in the letter, locking it afterwards.

That was when he was able to breathe. Jin Yue slumped back on his seat and covered his face with both hands. The only way to get rid of thoughts of her was to immerse himself in work.

It was past ten in the night, but Jin Yue was feeling as alert as ever. He immediately started doing the work of the next day, when he was through, he went to his secretary's office and took the files that he had told him to go through and went through them himself.

By the time he was through with everything, it was already past three in the Morning.

 Jin Yue, who had not rested for four days straight felt like dying. It was then he realized that he had not even eaten anything for those four days!

His stomach hurt like crazy but he could not even stand up from his seat. Resting his head on his table, he shut his eyes.

Jin Yue woke up to a knock on his door. His secretary walked in and greeted, handing over some files.

The secretary noticed that his boss had been putting on the same clothes for four days straight. He wanted to ask but seeing how worn out and pale he looked, he decided to keep the question to himself, after dropping the files, he left the office.

Jin Yue was so weak that he could not even lift a finger; he just sat there staring at the files. After a moment, he started thinking about her.

He wondered what she was doing now, if she had gone back to her parents, or she had moved in with that other man_ if they were really together, as he had thought.

Just the thought of another man sleeping on the same bed with her made his heart squeeze so much that he felt it would bleed.

What was he thinking when he chased her away?

Thinking about it, back then, he was overcome with jealousy. He was jealous that she was close with another man and that man was so important to her that she even had to lie to him.

He was angry and hurt. That was why he chased her away with the meanest words. Jin Yue's thoughts were cut short by a knock on the door.

''Boss, there is someone here to see you.''

The secretary said as he opened the door. Jin Yue shook his head slowly, signifying that he was not in the mood to see anyone.

The secretary hesitated for a while before he spoke.

''She said, it's about your fiancée.''

At the mention of fiancée, Jin Yue immediately sat upright on his seat, his heart racing frantically.

''Let her in.''

The secretary nodded and closed the door. After about five minutes, the door creaked open and a very familiar lady walked in with a triumphant smile plastered on her face.

She was putting on a short gown with heels, and her hips swayed from side to side as she walked towards the table.

''Long time no see!''

''Eva? What are you doing here?''

Jin Yue, who was not expecting her asked; his brows creased into a frown.

''Awnn, that's not how to greet a friend after such a long time, don't you think?''

She replied as she made herself comfortable on the seat in front of him.

The man at the other end was getting infuriated by the passing second.

''Leave, unless I'll have no choice but to call the security on you.''

Eva laughed hysterically after which she shook her head,

''Alright then, hurry and call the security, but be rest assured you won't find out how those pictures came about.''

Jin Yue froze for a split second/

''What pictures? How did you know about the pictures?''

Eva laughed mockingly again, shaking her head briefly.

''Seeing you like this, I don't even need to guess the outcome of my seeds, do I?''

 Jin Yue felt fireworks on his head.

''What do you mean by seeds?''

He was getting impatient, but his biting stomach could not let him shout.

Eva sighed and rubbed her forehead.

''You know, the only person I pity is Xin Yong, God! She's so sweet, strong but you know, very naïve in love, and that is very sad.''

Eva said as she opened her bag and took out a gum, tearing open the wrap, she popped it into her mouth.

''Eva, what did you mean by that?''

Jin Yue was getting confused by the second, he could not even understand the point she was making.
