During the whole episode when they were vying for Jia Li's affection, Tang couldn't stand Wei's presence . He had hated the mere sight of him . Today, he was the first and maybe the only person that he could tolerate around himself .

Tang's relation with his father was deteriorating faster than he could have ever imagined . His father still stood firmly by Mei Zhen's side and that itself was the biggest point of contention between the two of them currently . Though Mei Zhen had moved out of Xie Mansion the previous month after their showdown, Tang still had not gone back there . His mother frequented his new condo, filling his fridge with home-made cooking, managing the staff with a firm hand .

He worked hard through the weekdays . He made sure not to reach home until really late at night, exhausted from work . He also ensured that he drinks hard during the weekend . All this, so that he wasn't attacked by the green eyed witch in his dreams or waking hours . Unfortunately, he wasn't successful all the time and she managed to slip past his inebriated state of mind .

Sometimes she came as her four year old self, inviting him to play ball with her . Other times, it was the innocent yet alluring teenage beckoning him to engulf her in a hug . These were still tolerable, since they made him miss her, just as an ache . But he was scared of the times when she came to him as she had been at her house, when Fu had held them hostage . The image of her naked, pale body marred with her blood was accompanied by her accusing eyes . Those eyes held an ocean of hurt and pain in them . He couldn't bear to look into those eyes . He didn't want to . So he drank himself into oblivion .

Earthly Matters Ltd . Office, London

"You wanted to see me?" Eric asked as Jia Li knocked and entered his cabin .

Clad in a fitted pair of light pink trousers, white shirt and a matching pink blazer, Jia Li made a fetching picture . She tucked a strand of her hair which had dared to escape her customary bun .

"Yes, I did . I am going to be blunt with you, Eric . I have come to the realisation that Mr . Ying thoroughly resents my presence in this company . Does he still think that I am a spy? I mean how am I supposed to be assisting him when he doesn't even let me be around him while working? He is hardly here in the office . When he is working at the lab, no one is allowed to be anywhere within 50 metres of his existence . All I can do is observe him from a distance and learn whatever I can, on my own, which is clearly not enough . I don't think I am making any contribution to the company," she spoke in a rush .

Eric gestured her to take a seat and leaned back into his own .

"I think you are imagining things here . No…no, hear me out please," he said and raised his hand as a sign of peace when Jia Li started to protest mid sentence .

"First of all, there is no chance of him mistaking you for a spy because the premise for that suspicion doesn't exist anymore . In fact, the Chinese company should be arriving day after tomorrow . You are well aware that you are completely in-charge of their hospitality . You have to welcome them on Hui's behalf and be present for all meetings including the all-important press meet . Though I don't know why we have to announce to the world about us working together . What is with the over communication and show-off . It's such a waste of time," he kept talking .

"Anyways, the point is that Hui has always worked alone . Partly because no one can keep up with his brilliance . More so, he doesn't have the patience to explain concepts to people around him . Unfortunately, he doesn't realise that there are some things which he can't do by himself and some things which he absolutely sucks at . For example, if he were to be left to his own devices during this upcoming meet with the corporates, there is a near surety of some sort of screw-up to happen . But he would not acknowledge it ever . Not because he has a big ego . He simply doesn't realise that most people work differently than him . Which is why he has employees like us to ensure that things don't go wrong," he finished .

Jia Li shook her head in mock severity, "I should have discovered your silver tongue sooner . You are in the wrong department . They should have hired you for a PR team or at least human relations team . No employee would ever quit and new people would be swayed to work here even if you offered them peanuts . "
