Chapter 21 - Enough Attention Yesterday
The next morning, Feng Alix when to look for Fu Hua in his office. She was a top model on a contract for his company.
During the two fashion shows in the year Fu Hua's company organized, she was one of the top models in the country that modeled for them.
The workers knew her to have a close relationship with their boss even though the relationship was not defined.
Now seeing her in the company this early in the morning was not a surprise to them.
"I'm here to see your boss." Feng Alix said at the receptionist's desk.
The two ladies had a polite smile on their faces as one of them asked, "Do you have an appointment with him?"
"No, I don't. But the reason I'm here to see him is very important, so let me in." Feng Alix ordered.
The two receptionists glanced at the graceful model who had her hair let down. She was pitting on a spaghetti strapped short grey gown. She had a silver purse in hand and a pair of stiletto ? on her feet.
As she talked, the dangling earrings on her ears, moved about.
"Miss Alix, if it's work-related matters, I'm sure your agency would set up an appointment with our boss. But if it's for personal reasons, then the boss has to be aware you are here to see him." The receptionist replied as she exchanged glances with her partner.
"Fine. Please call his office and inform him that I am here to see him." Feng Alix said as she rolled her eyes at them.
The receptionists sighed as one of them picked up the telephone and made a call to Fu Hua's office.
"It's Mia from the receptionist desk. Miss Alix says..."
After the call, Mia dropped the telephone before informing Feng Alix that she could go up to see Fu Hua.
"Thank you!." Feng Alix proudly said to them before leaving their sight.
"She sure is arrogant." The other receptionist said to Mia.
"Whatever it is, we just have to do our job well," Mia replied as they both got back to work.
When the elevator arrived at Fu Hua's office floor, Feng Alix catwalked towards Fu Hua's office, totaling ignoring the people she met along the way.
Now standing before Fu Hua's door, she took a deep breath before knocking twice, then she opened the door.
"Hello, Mr. Fu." Feng Alix greeted the busy Fu Hua before going ahead to take a seat before him.
Fu Hua looked up at the pile of papers before him to see his girlfriend staring at him with all smiles.
"I heard you wanted to see me, what's the matter?." Fu Hua asked without any emotions on his face. But he definitely wasn't angry with her like yesterday. The work must be so he tics for him.
"I came to take you out for breakfast." Feng Alix replied with a smile.
"No thank you, I had breakfast before coming." Fu Hua rejected her.
"Ok, that's good. Since you've had your breakfast already, can you accompany me to have mine?." Feng Alix requested with a pitiful look.
Fu Hua who had his focus on the clothe sketches looked up from it.
"Alix, you should know what time of the year it is. I've been absent from work for five and a half days. And now that I'm back, you should know how busy I will be. I don't have time to accompany you." Fu Hua said to her with his gaze on her.
"The five and a half days you were away from work, you were also away from me. Do what's wrong with asking my boyfriend to accompany me for breakfast? I mean, I took my time with my dressing today, not just to come and stare at you but to go out with you." Feng Alix said with creased brows.
"Didn't I give you enough attention last night?." Fu Hua asked as he resumed back on the sketches he was going through.
"Fu Hua look, I'm sorry about last night. I forced you to leave when you sacrificed a little from your time to spend the night with me." Feng Alix apologized with her gaze on him.
"I'm not holding anything against you if that's why you came to see me this early in the morning. Alix, we have no business today, so you can go back." Fu Hua said to her as he picked up another sketch to study.
"Are you saying you won't accompany me today because it's not work-related?." Feng Alix asked.
"Even if it's work-related, I won't have the time to see you. But if it's urgent, you can meet my assistant." Fu Hua said as he pointed at the door for her, before putting down the sketch in his hand and picking out another one.
"Fu Hua!." Feng Alix called out in a childish tone.
Fu Hua put down everything in his hand and fixed his tired gaze on her.
"Alix, can you please not do this, at least for today? I already have more than enough on my plate. I will be so busy today I won't have the time to accompany you. You can go back. And when next you want to show up in my office unannounced, think twice." Fu Hua sad to her in a warning.
Feng Alix had an unbelievable expression on her face.
"Fu Hua it's me, your girlfriend. Why are you treating me like any random girl?."
"If you were a random girl to me, you wouldn't be in my office talking to me." Fu Hua said it clearly to her.
Feng Alix looked as if she was about to cry.
Fu Hua knew his words were kind of harsh, so he said to her in a mild tone.
"If you don't want to leave now, I will order a cup of tea for you. You can leave when you are done with it, but just know I can not keep you company today."
Feng Alix heaved a sigh before picking up her purse and standing up. She gazed at Fu Hua for a few seconds before walking back to sit on the couch in his office.
She crossed her legs and had her arms folded.
Fu Hua sighed as he picked up the telephone ☎️ to make a tea order for Feng Alix.
Three minutes later, a female worker brought the tea for Fu Hua.
"Give it to Miss Alix." Fu Hua said to the female worker, who in turn followed his instruction.
Fu Hua went back to work after the female worker left his office. As for Feng Alix, she took her time drinking her tea.
