Siren Song Chapter 148

Her cousin, Robert Dumont sat on her desk leisurely playing with the crystal paperweight she had sitting on it . Seeing her enter his deep blue eyes and ever constant smirk rose up to meet hers .

"Ah my cousin, Chang or should I call you Charmaine now as everyone else does? It has been far too long since we last saw each other . " The slightly taller man stood to embrace her but she rejected him sharply with a hand to his chest .

"Ah, yet I would say it was not long enough of a time . I would rather you not call me at all, I would greatly appreciate it if you did not disturb me during the work hours and harass my employees . " Chang Dumont scowled up at the man . Her cousin was nothing but endless trouble, a lesson she had come to learn painfully . To see him now only picked at the old wounds she had thought she had already forgotten .

"Heh, you are so cold, we are family, there is no need for this . Plus we have shared some rather interesting experiences together . Or has my cousin forgotten?" The man's smile widened as he looked at her . Most would have considered him to be a fairly handsome man, especially when he smiled; but with their past shared experience she only thought of him as being a creep, and his smile was oily . "I merely came to wish you well on your birthday . "

"Why thank you, now that you have accomplished your goal, you may leave, thank you for stopping by . " Chang Dumont forced a smile on her face and opened the door, holding it open to invite Robert Dumont out .

"But you've only just arrived, should we not catch up after so long?"

"There's no need, if you do not mind, I have quarterly reports to total and file from the bond investments we are holding, and I would prefer to finish it today . " The man opened his mouth to protest and she cut him off before he could continue . "Good bye Robert . " Chang cut him off and motioned for him to leave .

Giving her a smirk he left unhurriedly . "Farewell for now cousin . I'll see you later . "

'Ugh now what does he mean by that? Don't think about it, focus now . ' Chang Dumont quickly lost herself into her work as she did every day, staying busy helped her keep her mind from straying . She worked steadily until she heard a knock on the door and Anouk came in with a light lunch for her with a glass of lemon water . Glancing at the time she was surprised to see that it was already after noon .

"Merçi Anouk . " Chang wearily rubbed her eyes and looked to see the petite brunette still standing there . "Is there something else?"

"Oui, do you have another name you go by Charmaine?"

'I did once, but I've buried that person and the name that went with it . . '

"No . " Chang took a forkful of her salad while reviewing documents .

"Then this just gets weirder . We just had at the front a bouquet of flowers delivered for a 'Chang Xie' and it was written the lovely manager of our firm . " Chang dropped the fork from her hand mid-bite hearing her words .

'Who would send me flowers, and have them sent with my old name? There's only a few people who know my original name . Who could this be? ' "Where was this delivered?" Chang stood and motioned for Anouk to lead her to where the present was delivered .

On one of the front desks near the door stood a tall crystal vase filled with flowers and bits of greenery for color . It was filled with mostly white roses, not quite at maturity as well as pink camellias with a smattering of little blue forget-me-nots tucked in here and there .

Beside the vase sat a small embossed card with the words Chang Xie written in elegant script in the front . On the back was a small written not, 'for the beautiful manager of the Bouleau Argenté, I shall see you tonight . Happy birthday . '
