Michael looked at Jas in annoyance. His mood, which had been bad from the start, beca even worse when he saw Jas' expression, which this ti didn't want to be rejected.
He sighed. Is his business trip that important?
"Where is the location?" asked Michael trying to figure out what important business trip he had to go.
"China."
"Chi… What did you say? China?!" Michael asked, widening his eyes.
Jas nodded, his expression still the sa as usual.
"Are you crazy?! Why should I go to China?!" cried Michael in annoyance.
He's been there before and it's a nice city. However, this is not the ti to go to areas that require more than 12 hours of flight!
"Just send a representative to go, or you can go!" continued Michael who had made his decision. He won't go!
He didn't know why he had to go all the way to China, but it definitely wasn't more important than his personal business!
What if when he leaves, the kids et the lawyer and like him? He was already quite dizzy when they idolized the blonde doctor. He wouldn't let any other man beco their idol!
Moreover, the man was trying to get close to Sarah!
"It was Mrs. Nam's wedding," Jas said casually, ignoring Michael who was screaming and glaring at him.
"What?"
"Mrs. Elena Nam*, our business partner in China, will marry and invite you to her wedding," Jas said, explaining why Michael had to go to China.
(One of the characters in my other novel: Superstar Husband & Genius Wife. You can check it. It's completed)
Michael was silent when he heard that. Elena is getting married?
"Now you understand why you had to leave, right?" Jas asked when he saw that Michael was silent.
"The wedding will be on Friday, but we can leave from Wednesday because we have a eting with Mrs. Nam," continued Jas, telling Michael the schedule.
Michael bit his lower lips. Elena is a very important business partner because she is a well-known businesswoman in China, as well as Asia. He worked with her so that their products could enter Asia, especially to China which is known to often reject products from outside.
"That… you just go!" said Michael after a mont of silence. He knew it was very important in order to maintain his relationship with Elena.
However, that woman wouldn't be upset just because he didn't co to her wedding, right?
"Michael!" said Jas in a disapproving tone then started lecturing Michael the reason why he should go, like a mother scolding her kid.
Michael sighed when Jas finally finished.
"Okay, I'll go," Michael decided. He had forgotten that Elena was a ruthless woman and she would definitely rember if he didn't co.
It wasn't that Michael was afraid of her, but that he still needed her.
Jas breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
"But you must co with !" The words that just ca out of Michael's mouth made the look of relief on Jas' face disappear imdiately.
"Why are you making such a face?" asked Michael when he noticed Jas' expression.
"Why should I co too?!" asked Jas irritably. "You know I'm married, and have a two years old daughter!" continued Jas.
"Because… one, you are my secretary. Two, you forced to go!" said Michael in a tone that sounded deliberately annoying.
After Jas married and had a daughter, Michael did make so concessions to Jas not to work late, or to accompany him on business trips that took more than two days.
"He should start looking for a woman to go out with him," Jas muttered under his breath, still annoyed.
"What?" Michael asked when he could hear sothing. "What did you say?"
Jas took a deep breath, then looked at Michael.
"I said, instead of coming with , you should have co with a woman!" said Jas irritably.
"How long do you want to accompany you to such an event? If you really don't want to get married, at least date soone!" Jas continued to let out what he was thinking.
Michael fell silent at Jas' words. Why hadn't he thought of that before? Business trip this ti to co to Elena's wedding. Then why did he have to take Jas, and not a woman to accompany him?
Even though that woman wasn't his girlfriend, or his wife, he had a woman to go with!

"What did you just say?" Sarah asked with wide eyes as they were having dinner, and Michael said sothing to her.
"Would you like to co with to China?" said Michael, repeating his question earlier. "My business partner over there is getting married, and she invited ."
Sarah did not imdiately answer the invitation. Her eyes reflexively turned to the kids who were eating.
"We can also take Raphael and Gabriel with us," Michael said when he caught Sarah's doubtful expression and the woman was turning towards them.
He had almost forgotten that now they were no longer alone, but four. Although he prefers just the two of them to go because later they can go on a date there. However, the kids were too young to be left behind..
So it seed there was no other way but to take the two kids.
"Boys, do you guys want to go to China?" asked Michael looking at his children as Sarah remained silent.
"China? What's that?" asked Raphael in confusion.
"It is a country." Michael explained it succinctly. "We can see Panda there!" said Michael trying to get his kids interested in going there.
"Really?" Gabriel's eyes lit up. "I love Pandas!"
Gabriel then imdiately turned to Sarah. "Mommy, let's go to Caina!"
A smile imdiately appeared on Michael's face when he heard that. As usual, Gabriel was always able to help him at tis like this. He then turned to Sarah, waiting for her answer.
Sarah sighed when she saw the enthusiasm of her youngest son. She then turned to Michael.
"When should we go?" Sarah asked, wanting to confirm the schedule in advance.
"The wedding is Friday, but we're going on Wednesday because I have a eting with him," Michael explained excitedly.
"Then we can't go," replied Sarah, shaking her head.
Michael's facial expression imdiately changed when he heard that. Sarah can't go?
"Why?" asked Michael, clearly very disappointed. He thought he had succeeded in persuading Sarah to co with him, but why did she suddenly change her mind?
"Ah! Do you think the flight will be tiring? Don't worry, we will use my private jet," Michael said, trying to guess the reason why Sarah didn't want to go.
However, Sarah still shook her head. That wasn't the reason why she had turned down Michael's invitation.
