Words I Was Afraid To Hear
/ Words I was Afraid to Hear 146 Familiar
She had an elder brother who will inherit the company, so she decided to start her career in ZFC branch in City B.
Her final goal, in reality, was to take whatever belongs to Midor Xiu. She never liked Dan romantically, maybe a little interested when she first saw him, but that was it. She just targeted him when she found out that he was close with Midori.
Since the goal of breaking them up was accomplished, she just continued to work in ZFC until her transfer was rejected. Thus, her next target came early as she transferred to XCG.
However, it seemed like the heir to XCG was more cunning than she had expected. She can only grit her teeth to every order coming her way. She will never give up until this group of companies would be under her control.
"Young Mistress Ming." That night, a young man greeted her with a nod.
"Young Master Ji." She greeted back with a smile.
That night, Ming Rushi is in a black satin V-neck empire-cut gown, her ears adorned by diamonds set in white gold, and her wrist was wrapped in a bracelet of similar gems and setting. There was a see-through lace portion on the gown at the waist area, letting people take a peek at her fair skin.
"Ming Rong Zhang did not even mention that his lovely sister is back." He seemed to look past her as another lady caught his eye. "Your friend?"
"Ah! Yes! Uhm...this is ...Anika Wen." She tapped on the fair shoulder, bare on one side, covered by soft, purple chiffon on the other side. "Anika, this is Young Master Ji of the Ji Hotel Chains."
The woman turned to face him with a pair of dimples complementing her white teeth and pink rouge.
Young Master Ji was taken aback. This woman is gorgeous! However, after a couple of seconds, his brows met. It seemed that this woman is familiar.
"Hello, Young Master Ji! I'm Anika Wen." She held out her fair hand to shake. Her voice was modulated to a deeper, yet still feminine voice.
He reluctantly reached out to shake it. His smile stiffened. "Have we met before, Miss Wen?"
"I don't think so, Young Master Ji!" Ming Rushi interrupted. "My third cousin had been living in Country K since she was a toddler. I only get to see her when we go over for a visit."
He narrowed his eyes, detecting the bunch of lies Ming Rushi spat. "Hmmm...is that so? You're eyes still look familiar to me." he tried to pry.
"Save the compliment, Young Master Ji. I believe my eyes already belong to someone else." The person addressed as Anika Wen replied.
"Oh...too bad...were they really that dark?" He tried to break their act. Even a subtle reaction could confirm something.
The Miss Wen became flustered for a split-second, but it was enough to raise the brow and suspiscion of the witty Young Master Ji.
"No, they're not." To his surprise, she did not deny it. She flashed a gorgeous smile. "My eyes are lighter in color, but I have poor eyesight so I needed to use contacts which I can see through the solution, hence the dark color. Did it bother you, Young Master Ji?"
Ming Rushi managed to excuse herself and her companion when the program for the launch of their company's newest collections started.
Young Master Ji escaped into an empty veranda to make a phone call.
The lady with flowing wavy black hair and black contacts may not be familiar among other people, but he knew her features too well from the photos from the phone of someone he knew.
"Shengde. What do you want?"
Young Master Ji sighed. Ever since Young Master Xiu lost his wife, he became cold. Can he even be considered his bestfriend? Oh yeah!
"Masa! You have to attend the jewelry launch by M!"
"I told you I don't plan to go."
"You need to see someone interesting!"
"Not interested."
"Masaichi, I think your wife is alive."
