The office door opened soone answered from outside "Sir, your guest is here", following her voice a woman entered.
She walked with a certain asured gait, eyes straight ahead staring at , chin slightly up, her temperant belonged to people holding a position of power- strong vitality and strong personality that radiated around making everyone around cautious. Her dark brown eyes were inviting to the depths of the abyss. She looked like an untouched rare flower with thorns and pride with slight contempt for the world around her. She is my wife Shui Bai Chang.
"You are a she!" Cyrus exclaid.
I realise I was staring at her, my face felt hot, I was breathless; my heart was pounding in my ears. I took a deep breath, dismissed the secretary, "Welco Ms Shui Bai Chang". I showed her a seat to take. She walked as lightly as a butterfly. I composed myself. I sat down opposite her as the seat beside her was occupied by Cyrus. As soon as we were seated Cyrus couldn't help himself anymore he urgently asked: "Was it you last week?"
She didn't reply imdiately she looked around the office, her eyes followed a pattern, to look through obscure corners to look for surveillance or hidden recording tools. I was surprised I imdiately understood sothing, "Cyrus leave us alone imdiately," I said sharply.
Cyrus, he looked at to protest but saw that I was not joking; he left the office heavy-hearted and dejected. I turned to Bai Chang, she was staring straight at , "Ms Shui there is no hidden caras or recorders in this office, and you may rest assured." I spoke.
She smiled, 'it was a fresh feeling for as Bai Chang rarely smiled before but this is her work smile, not her real smile. I once again thought how much has she changed, would she rember at all, if ever?'
"Mr Hu let's get straight to business, after all, we all are busy people." She voiced. (It has the quality of chi bells to my ears, very pleasant to hear.)
"Please Ms Shui, speak freely I am listening," I replied.
(In my heart I was saying, I will listen to you all my life, 'my wife'.)
"Mr Hu, you gave a very generous amount for my health care during my prolonged stay in hospital. I do not like to owe people, so today I am here to return the due credit with interest. I will provide you with an upgrade 'Cyber Security System' an unparalleled in current technology and coming technology for the coming few years, making you a giant to follow in the cybersecurity industry. This program will make you locally over 100 million and globally with the right buyers, over 100 billion turnovers by the end of the year. So my conditions are I give you this program in turn after deducting due credits you company pays 1 billion. Of course, that is after you understood the program and able to run it as I do not want others to know the origin of the program. I will teach you the code; you put it under your na. What do you think of my proposal?" she asked.
During this whole ti there were stuffed emotions in my heart I calmly replied without showing any disquiet, "I would have to see the program to validate your claid value. As for repaying the debt, please, you sha , we were good friends before your accident. I wouldn't watch my friend suffer while I looked the other side," I said.
(I think this is the best way to close the distance between us.)
"Mr Hu, there is a serious problem, while I just walked into your office building, I found two suspicious individuals calling International numbers, from the long numbers and the initial codes they dialled, it was routed to European continents so I have my doubts that we were friends or foes," she replied.
I kept my silence this ti. I contemplated, while she was still staring at straight trying to discern my thoughts. Every ti I looked into her eyes my heart skipped a beat.
"Ms Shui, this may sound inappropriate but my ho is in your residential community. If you do not mind we can et at your place or mine to discuss." I say it with a straight face.
(I want to close the gap between us as soon as possible.)
"That would be possible to apply."
"Okay, then that settles it then," I responded.
"For the agenda of the eting, tell that I ca to thank you in person to your goodwill, as for that man who left your office, best to find ways to shut him up." She retorted with a slight chill in her eyes.
I looked towards the person sitting in front of , my wife, her deanour may have evolved more than what was before but there were little traces here and there still left. I found myself falling in love with my wife all over again.
After the conversation, I accompanied her to her car as she left the office.
My brows tightened, I call Cyrus back into my office. As soon as he entered he wanted to barrage but I interrupted "Cyrus, we have a situation. We have mole among us."
He kept looking at . "While she was hacking she found leaks to a few foreign forces in our company private servers."
'While she left she handed a small SD card holding details of these leaks as a show of goodwill and trust. (I don't know I should laugh or cry, as this company is her property as am I.)'
"Look through this, watch closely but do not act yet, let's roll in so big fishes this ti. Let them know whom they have ssed with," the poor kid... I didn't let him speak yet "and Cyrus while you are at it, keep your mouth shut about our little friend here no words should slip past under any conditions." I made sure my points reached across to him.
"Boss" finally this kid asked cautiously, "Who is she?"
I reply without hesitation "My legal married wife."
His eyes popped, mouth wide open, as he looked at in surprise.
I cautiously replied, "She t an accident, she is amnesic, so she is not aware of our relationship."
At this ti his mouth was so wide open that two duck eggs could fit there. He took so ti to digest the news and then left the office to prepare to spread a large net to reel in so big fishes.
