Chapter 18
Yang Tian-Xu kicked his table and scream, "Ah F*ck!" He also wanted to be able to message her back and forward like how Jin Qi-Long and w.a.n.g Yi-An were. Even when the contents of their message were work-related, he could at least interact with her.
Now that Jin Qi-Long was finally satisfied with the final design, w.a.n.g Yi-An completed her work. "She won't need to contact Qi-Long anymore now would she?" Yang Tian-Xu thought to himself. Then suddenly w.a.n.g Yi-An knocked on the door, and he got startled. His focus was out of place, and he exclaimed, "What is it?"
"Um…" w.a.n.g Yi-An thought she must have disturbed him. "Sorry, it's me w.a.n.g Yi-An."
It was apparent to Yang Tian-Xu that it was her. After all, the time was already 7:23 PM.
"Come in!" He stated as he pretended that he still had a lot of doc.u.ments to look over. He acts, but he wasn't looking at them. He was busy staring at her most of the time. He barely had any work done today. Usually, he would have completed most of his work on schedule for today. Still, he had only finished 2/3 of his workload.
Everyone in the office had already departed. Even a.s.sistant Tseng has disappeared when the clock hit 5:00 PM. Yang Tian-Xu messaged a.s.sistant Tseng that he does not need to work over-time with him, and so he may leave.
The only one that was so absorbed in her work was w.a.n.g Yi-An. She hasn't noticed the people around her had left one by one. The only person still on the seventh floor with her was Yang Tian-Xu.
w.a.n.g Yi-An opened up and alleged "President Yang I am sorry it was already so late. I came to report to you that I had received the final approval of the designs from Mr Jin."
"Yes, I had already received his message. He told me you did an amazing job!" Yang Tian-Xu smiled, as he asked her, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
"I would need you to sign my overtime sheet for the school, is that
Of course, Yang Corps pays for over-time every week. Nevertheless, she also desired to get acknowledgement for her school as well. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
"Of course," he p.r.o.nounced, and she would smile as she brings over a sheet of paper with details of her overtime hours. Yang Tian-Xu filled out what he needed to fill out, sign-it, and return her the doc.u.ment.
"Thank you!" She chirped as she lowers her head in grat.i.tude.
"I'll do anything for you!" He stated as he smiled back at her.
"You are too kind President Yang!" She smiled sweetly at him. Although his speech is what he exactly felt inside, w.a.n.g Yi-An thought, "Oh Yang Corps does take good care of their employees! Even interns get such good treatment!" How could w.a.n.g Yi-An know that the only person who can receive such proper treatment from Yang Tian-Xu was only her?
"It is late now; I will take my leave, thank you again!" She said and just as she was about to turn around and leave, but so she stopped as she heard him speak up.
"Oh, right. It's already 7:30 PM." He said as he looked at his phone. Secretly, his heart was pounding rapidly. It was only him and her left in the office. Then he asked her, "Would you like a ride home?" He volunteered, hoping she'll say yes.
Nevertheless, she said the cruellest two-letter word to him. "No… It's okay! I don't need a ride; I will be fine getting home on my own." w.a.n.g Yi-An said one more thing to him, "Thank you for the concern, and I will see you tomorrow!" as she lowered her head slightly, she demonstrates her respect towards him as the President. And so she went away, and just like that, she was gone again from his sight.
Yang Tian-Xu was depressed, he could merely hope that tomorrow would come earlier, and then he could watch her again! Those are the feelings Yang Tian-Xu will carry home with him. The endless longing for her just kept springing up within him, and he will be capable of performing anything for her.
The clock was 8:00 PM by the time Yang Tian-Xu had gotten home. His mother and father were sitting in the living room with his aunt, Cheung Yun-Er. Yang Tian-Xu saw her as he came in from the entrance, he nodded at her with respect and greeted her, "Good afternoon Auntie."
"Oh my, my little nephew! Tian-Xu! Come here and let auntie take a good look at you!" She sounded out with a smile on her expression, as she opened up her arms.
"Big-Sis, stop teasing Tian-Xu! He's a grown man now; he's 26!" Mother Yang wasn't so happy to watch her older sister teasing her son.
However, Yang Tian-Xu would accept an elder request and came over to sit by her side. "Auntie, have you been doing well lately?" He asked her softly.
Then suddenly the expression on her face saddened. She turned away for a moment as she wiped her tears.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Yang Tian-Xu was worried about her. Although, she doesn't visit them often, however, she was still the aunt that had shown him as much love as his mother. He sat there and listens to her tell him, "Tian-Xu, you must always remember to stay a good man as you are now, alright?" His auntie cried as she faces away.
"Auntie, did something happen?" He followed with a worried expression on his face.
"This is all that Pan Rong's fault!" Mother Yang shouted as she blamed her brother-in-law who had caused her older sister heartbroken.
