| ← Ch.145 | Ch.147 → |
The car ride went smoothly. Xie Ming didn't say anything about the interview.
Due to Liwei's lunch meeting, she forgot about why she came to the office.
She didn't say anything to Liwei about the interview and he didn't ask either.
He was still thinking that she failed the interview, that's why he didn't say anything about the topic.
...
After a while, Gu Shao stopped the car when they reached the Hotel.
Liwei got off the car and turned to the side of Xie Ming.
Gentlemanly, he opened the car door for her.
Xie Ming who desperately wanted to shut the door again and go home looking up at Liwei with a paled face.
Due to nervousness, her face color has disappeared.
Liwei looked at her and felt worried for her. He was still thinking that she was worried about her interview.
Xie Ming also got off the car.
Liwei offered her his hand to hold onto as a gentleman. She did the same and held on his arm slightly.
When she looked at the Hotel she took a deep breath, " Don't worry Zhao Ming. You can do it. You're the Empress."
" Just behave normally." she thought inwardly.
Liwei was looking at her from sideways and was smiling seeing the change in her expressions.
He thought that her mood was getting better.
When they reach the 3rd floor of the hotel, they walked towards their restaurant, where the meeting was held.
The waiter led the both of them towards their private room.
When both of them reached their private room, they heard the voice from inside.
They understood that the CEO of S company and his wife has arrived. ?Liwei looked at Xie Ming before entering the room and smiled.
He knocked on the door, to make them aware of his presence.
Then he held Xie Ming's hand and entered the room with her.
When they entered the room, they saw a middle-aged couple.
The CEO of S company, Mr. Wu was a middle-aged man with his big and chubby look.
His wife Mrs. Wu was looking young for her age. She was wearing a peach-colored dress and carrying a clutch bag.
Her hair was to her shoulders. She was looking beautiful and elegant.
She was exactly like Jin Liwei's Mother. Beautiful and noble.
...
When they entered the room, Mrs. Wu stood up from the seat to welcome them.
Mr. Wu remained seated. He was fair but chubby. His aura was like Liwei cold and 'scary'.
But Mrs. Wu forced him to stand up.
Though he was cold and arrogant like Liwei. But in front of his wife, he was the opposite.
He reluctantly stood up from his seat with his wife. ?Xie Ming smiled at both of them.
Jin Liwei went forward and shakes hands with Mr. Wu.
The other party also shakes his hands but looked not interested.
Jin Liwei greeted Mrs. Wu and she smiled happily.
Xie Ming also went forward and respectably greeted Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu with her bright and sweet smile.
Mrs. Wu admirably looked at Xie Ming and smiled back.
Then they sat on their seats.
Mr Wu. looked at Jin Liwie and sarcastically said, " You know that I don't like people being late. I didn't mind that you wanted to bring your wife, but at least you shouldn't be late."
Mr. Wu was a straightforward person. He doesn't like things to go roadways.
Jin Liwei looked at him with his cold usual self and said, " Yes. It was my fault for being late. ? I won't make any excuses to cover my mistake. I apologize for being late."
Mr. Wu raised his eyebrows at him.
He had expected that he would make some excuses to cover his mistake.
But he accepted it without making any excuses.
Mr Wu. Likes these kinds of straightforward people who easily accept their mistakes and would not bear any tardiness in the work.
Seeing Mr. Wu's cold demeanor, Xie Ming felt awkward. Because it was due to her that Liwei was late.
She wanted to say something but Liwei squeezed her hand a little that he was holding under the table.
Xie Ming unconsciously looked at him.
Mrs. Wu saw the exchange between them and smiled.
Then she turned to her husband and said, " Now stop it. Don't be such a bore. I know it's your meeting but we're also here. So talk about your work later, let's order something first." she said to lighten the mood.
Mr. Wu looked at her and smiled and let her do what she wants.
She called the waiter to take their orders.
Xie Ming gives her a grateful look. Mrs. Wu smiled back at her. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞Ɩ - 🅽🅽novel
After a few minutes, the waiter arrived.
Mrs. Wu took the menu and handed it to Xie Ming and said, " Dear, I don't know what you like to eat. So feel free to order. The lunch on us." she said smiling.
Xie Ming looked at Liwie and he also nodded at her.
Xie Ming felt that Mrs. Wu was an easy to go person. She has assumed her as the rude and arrogant type of socialite.
But she was exactly the opposite of what she had thought. She was a sweetheart.
Xie Ming looked at the menu and searched for the dishes she wanted to eat.
Then she turned to look at Liwei to ask what he wanted to eat. He looked at her and said, " You order. I will eat whatever you order." he said bending a little towards her.
She shyly smiled at him.
The couple was silently watching their interactions. Mrs. Wu looked at Mr Wu and winked.
Mr Wu. shook her head away. His face was now beet red.
Mrs. Wu laughed slightly at her husband's reactions.
When they were young, they fell in love with each other in college then later Mrs. Wu also worked at S corporations as his secretary.
Their chemistry and bond became stronger by the time passed.
After a few years, they got married and Mrs. Wu left the office to became a housewife.
Seeing the interactions between Xie Ming and Liwei, she remembered the few years after their marriage.
They were also like them, always being lovey-dovey and making people jealous of their relationship.
' Haish. Those days were good. ' she sighed.
