In an orderly formation, eight people stood in two rows with four people on each side. Two women and six men.
Each person dressed stylishly with their own charm. However, Chen Limei felt the faces of these people were familiar, except she cannot recall where she had seen them.
Looking at their faces one by one, her eyes narrow to her unknown guests.
"Who gave you permission to stand outside my office?"
Hearing her sudden demanding question, no one answers her. Two men with similar facial features lifts their hands at the same time and used their pinky to dig their ear. Their gesture was clearly saying, they did not care about the woman at all.
Seeing this, anger rose inside Chen Limei as her expression turned grim. She stomps her heel loudly on the floor and points at them.
"How dare you lowly pest ignore me! I am the CEO of An Qing. Who gave—"
"Our boss."
Before Chen Limei could continue her words any further, a man's voice interrupts her. She turns to look at the owner of the voice and her eyes lands on a man wearing rimless glasses. His expressionless face stares directly back at her and she could feel a chill crawl on the back of her spine.
However, as the CEO, she cannot let low standard servants get to her. With her head held high, she walks pass them and head for her office.
"Hmmf. If your boss wants to meet with me, go tell him or her to schedule an appointment. I have other important matters to take care of."
Without a care, she pushes the door open and enters.
Left alone outside, the eight people glance at one another. Once the door is shut, each person press their lips tightly together as they try to hold back the urge to laugh.
"Well, she's as arrogant as always."
A petite woman nonchalantly spoke as she walks over to a chair or sit down.
"Not for long."
One of the twins responds as he leans against the wall and fold his arms over his chest.
Oblivious to the short conversation outside, Chen Limei stood inside her office with a pale expression.
There were currently two other people in her office, a man and a woman. However, her eyes stare in the direction of the woman like she had seen a ghost.
At this very moment, a beautiful woman with long dark wavy hair sat highly in a chair.
Except, that chair is the chair that belongs to the CEO. Not anyone can sit there, but this woman did not care and dares to sit down.
Chen Limei's eyes shook with an unexplainable feeling. Her lower lip lightly trembles and with no intentions of doing so, she utters in a difficult whisper.
"Han Yue Ling."
Seated elegantly in the seat that belonged to Chen Limei, Yue Ling's bluish green eyes stares without moving at the woman. She slowly blinks her eyes and part her perfectly plump red tinted lips.
"Chen Limei."
Staring at the model, jealousy and rage rose inside Chen Limei. Her chest began to heave up and down as she clench her jaw tightly.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Limei's tone was one that could scare off her employees, but it was not enough to scare the two other people inside the room. Let alone, make them tremble.
A faint smile curls on Yue Ling's lip and she slowly rise from the chair. Walking around the desk, she approached Chen Limei.
"You of all people should know exactly why I am here."
As she spoke her words, her fingers trace the smooth top of the desk until she steps away.
"Did you really think An Qing was yours?"
Hearing this, Chen Limei gulp with difficulty. It was as if something hard was stuck in her throat making it hard for her to breath.
"Y-You… An Qing was mine the moment I took over the position. It is not yours!"
"Not mine, but yours?"
Yue Ling quickly retort Chen Limei's words with an arch brow. She touch her chin and smiles to the woman.
"Have you forgotten how you got this position?"
She takes a step closer to the woman and her kind aura vanishes as coldness fills the entire room.
"Not only did you decide to breach the contract, you decided to do things without approval. Now, you claim An Qing as yours?"
"…."
Chen Limei's face turned paler and paler at each of her words. She felt that the air around had turned thicker making it even more difficult for her breathe. Even the sound of Yue Ling's footsteps felt like mountains dropping onto her one by one. However, she manages to calm herself a little.
"Y-You can't do this to me. Everyone here is under my control. No one will believe that you own An Qing."
Thinking of all the hard effort she had done for An Qing, Chen Limei felt a little better. Without her, An Qing would not be as strong as it is today.
So, what if Yue Ling owns An Qing, she (Chen Limei) was the one who controlled everything that went on inside. She was the one who came up with all the ideas. Or so she believes.
A sneer curls on her lip and she scoffs at Yue Ling. Her chin raise and she cross her arms over her chest.
"Without any proof, you can't just walk in here and expect me to give up my position. Once I leave, An Qing will be nothing. All the businesses I've made contracts with will leave out that door with me."
As her words continue, Yue Ling remained indifference. Like she had finally heard enough, she turns away and walks to the couch inside the room.
"Liu Shan."
Standing silently at the side the entire time, Liu Shan finally moved. His dark eyes stares at Chen Limei as if he could see through her every move.
Before his boss called for him, he was in full alert. She is pregnant and any mishap cannot happen to her. However, hearing her say his name, he takes a step forward and walks to Chen Limei.
"Miss Chen."
Stopping in front of her, he hands her a thick folder that contained some documents inside.
Chen Limei stares at the folder and her fists clench tighter. She glares in the direction of Yue Ling and laugh mockingly.
"Hah. You think something like this will remove me from my position? Keep dreaming! No matter how much you want to bribe me, I will never do what you want!"
*Slap—
Just as she finished her words, she slaps the folder in Liu Shan's hand away. A loud thud sounds as it falls onto the ground.
However, she subconsciously glance down at the folder and she was rooted to the floor.
