"I-I..." Shall I tell him about everything? About who I am?
She took a deep breath. Probably, it would be for the best if he knew it. Maybe, this was the right ti for it. Who knows whether she could have the courage to tell him about this?!
Just as she opened her mouth to speak, he spoke up first, "It's fine. Don't think about it," He could see the myriad of emotions flashing on her face. If sothing made her so sad, then he preferred for her to not think about it, "Just don't cry again or else I will throw you in the swimming pool."
She blinked, not sure whether she was relieved or she wanted to tell him the truth. She was betting 50:50 on both. She wanted to let him know who she was but there might be so consequences she was afraid of.
"Aye~I can swim like a fish," Better forget it for now.
He chuckled, relieved that she back to full spirits again.
"You just ignored outside," She narrowed her eyes.
"I knew you were jealous," He laughed, "I was planning for the future. Who said I was ignoring you?"
"Future?"
"You fight with all the ti. So, I was securing a little defender for myself."
She punched his chest, "Zixuan, get that clear. Who fights with whom?"
...
The next day.
"This is how work is done? Lyra, tell . Do you think your conduct is proper for soone sitting in your position?" Yu i threw away the towel to the bed as she sat in front of the dressing.
Putting the phone on the speaker and keeping it on the side, she blow-dried her hair. A small frown persisted between her brows, "Have you gone mute now? It has been weeks since I've been warning you that don't get Rosette in trouble because of your scandals? Can't you settle such a simple thing in your head?" As much as she tried to be a bit soft with her words, it did not work.
The woman on the other side spoke up after a few seconds of silence, "President, I did not expect the paparazzi to be there."
"Do you expect them to send you a text to inform you beforehand!?" She put the blow dryer aside and grabbed her phone, "Rember that, to the public, you're not Lyra, they know you as Leanne, the President of Rosette. Since you are in that position, you should know how to act decently. Or else I'm sure there will be many won dying to replace you in this task," She hung up without giving her a chance to speak.
It was not like she was interested in the woman's private life. She could do whatever she wanted and have as many boyfriends as she needed.
Recently, the pendant she had designed back in Shanghai was launched, and unexpectedly the purple rose concept of the pendant was getting attention from the whole world. At a ti like this, the President was involved in countless scandals.
Yu i did not know what will happen if it went on like this. The last way she had in her mind was that she will step out to claim her position. But she hoped she won't have to resort to that...at least not for now.
After her death and disappearance from Rosette, the company had already dealt with enough losses. Although it was on rise right now, but it will take so more weeks to stabilize everything.
In the headquarters of Eminence.
The CEO's office.
"Here, I've signed these. Sort it out before preparing for the collaboration," Jun Zixuan passed the files to Gu Min as he impatiently glanced at the ti on his wristwatch.
It was past 5:00 pm. He had to pick Yu Jinhai from his school first and then go back ho.
It has already been eight hours of not seeing her.
Gu Min received the files from him as he opened his mouth to say sothing but decided against it.
Jun Zixuan grabbed a small remote from the glass and turned his swivel chair around. He pressed a switch and the lights in the office room turned dim, the opaque glass wall behind him turned transparent revealing the stretch of gradually darkening sky.
"Brother Xuan, the etings are all over, you can go back if you want," It was obvious from his face that he was already missing his wife.
If he had not heard it from his elder brother, Gu Min had never believed that this man was really serious about Yu i.
"Did you think I was going to stay here?" He pushed himself to his feet and picked up his suit jacket from the chair.
Gu Min was speechless. Is this what they an when they say 'n in love'?
The man paused as his gaze landed on the cover of one of the magazines lying on the coffee table in front of the luxurious couch.
He picked it up and glanced at the purple pendant on display on the cover page. In the black background, the exquisite spherical-crystal pendant seed to be illuminating the glass it was stored in. The intricate designs and color reminded him of the purple roses in the garden of Ren Mansion.
Gu Min followed his gaze, "This is the latest design launched by Rosette."
The na Rosette was not foreign to anyone, be it if the person is from the fashion industry or not.
"Get this," Considering how fond i was of the purple roses, she will surely like this.
Gu Min frowned, "There are already nurous people bidding for it. This design is in demand right now with its price has already crossed $62 million."
"Buy it in $124 million then. If soone bids further, just double the value. I want this," With his verdict passed, the king walked out of the office without giving the eunuch a chance to protest.
Purple Roses are rare but not extinct. People might not afford it but they can see it on the internet so Jun Zixuan did not have further thoughts about the design.
