Chapter 49
"Grandfather said he would come?" Yang Tian-Xu clarified the matter with a.s.sistant Tseng, "Today?"
"Yes, sir!" a.s.sistant Tseng confirmed it with him, "Today he will be arriving shortly."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Yang Tian-Xu felt irritated. His irritation shown on his face, as he felt like he couldn't ask w.a.n.g Yi-An out on a peaceful and quiet lunch with just the two of them. Today is not his lucky day.
"Ah… I apologise boss!" a.s.sistant Tseng wanted to say, "I tried to call you, but you won't pick up the d.a.m.n phone!" How could he ever have the guts to say that? And so he can only have the thoughts. a.s.sistant Tseng can see the irritation on Yang Tian-Xu's expression. He could feel like his end is coming near.
However, Yang Tian-Xu sighed as he felt depressed. "I'm sorry for interrupting your work, An-An. But, please have a good lunch today."
"Thank you very much, President Yang. I almost forgot that it's 12 now." She said as she removed her ID card from the computer. She gave him a slight head bow before she said as she smiled at him, "Have a good lunch too." And so she went on her lunch break.
Yang Tian-Xu can only watch her as she pa.s.ses by him. Slowly, as she walked further and further away from him. There was a tightness inside his heart, as he watches her go.
Just as when Yang Tian-Xu took out his phone and looked at his missed calls, and text messages. The most important and recent text he had received was from his secretary, who had sent him an urgent message that states, "Chairman is already at the Yang Corps entrance right now! Are you there at the office yet?" The time stamped on the text message was at 12:01 PM.
Yang Tian-Xu rushes towards w.a.n.g Yi-An, he hoped that he could make it in time to be able to take the elevator ride down with her. "Wait! An-An!" He shouted for her name as he saw her turn around.
Yang Tian-Xu had left a.s.sistant Tseng, there as he stood wondering, "Seriously? Why are you calling out for her?" He wanted to know, so he followed along.
w.a.n.g Yi-An turned around the moment when she heard someone had shouted out for her. "Yes, President Yang?" She said as she saw Yang Tian-Xu approaching her at a quick paste, w.a.n.g Yi-An was a bit confused
Yang Tian-Xu stood still to look at her, and then he gave out an attractive smile at her. "I have to go down as well, can we go down together?"
"Ah, sure." w.a.n.g Yi-An looked confused as ever as she thought to herself. "Does he need to ask me that?" However, her emotion remains inexpressible.
However, a.s.sistant Tseng thinks differently while he watches President Yang. Who stood there with a charming smile, like he was begging for something. The thoughts that were in a.s.sistant Tseng's mind was, "What? You rushed to catch up to her, just so that you can take the elevator down with her? s.h.i.+t! For real? Boss! Why are you like this!?" Yet, of course a.s.sistant Tseng can only keep these thoughts to himself.
It took no longer than ten steps to the elevator, and Yang Tian-Xu pushes the b.u.t.ton up at first. "Um. President. I need to go down."
"Oh! Right, sorry, what was I thinking?" Then Yang Tian-Xu finally presses the b.u.t.ton to go down. There was two elevator shaft. One going up, and the other going down. The one going down has another greeter. However, the person has already gone on a lunch break.
The moment the elevator door opens up, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her inside, he had his hands on her shoulder, "It's here, let's go!" Then as she got inside, he quickly presses the b.u.t.ton for the door to close.
"Wait! Boss, I didn't-!" a.s.sistant Tseng was only a couple of steps behind them. The door closes before he could even get inside.
w.a.n.g Yi-An was shocked as she heard and saw a.s.sistant Tseng as he tried to reach out for the closing doors. "President Yang, a.s.sistant Tseng haven't gotten in yet." She said as she decided to press the b.u.t.ton to reopen the door.
Nevertheless, Tian-Xu stopped her hand, and told her. "It's okay. He might have something else he needs to do. He can take the next ride down later."
"Okay…" Then she distanced herself from him. Of course, Yang Tian-Xu won't try to push his luck and remain an appropriate amount of s.p.a.ce between him and her.
There was only Yang Tian-Xu, and w.a.n.g Yi-An left in the elevator, alone. Yang Tian-Xu could just only pray that the elevator would break down. This way he would be able to be alone with her for longer.
Every single second that it took for the elevator to go down a level lower. Yang Tian-Xu could only dream of having a power outage. These few precious seconds he spent with w.a.n.g Yi-An alone felt like the heaven had finally shown pity on him.
Yang Tian-Xu wanted to ask her a question before the elevator reaches its designated floor at the ground level. "Do you have any special plans for lunch today?" He asked her finally. However the trip was short, perhaps too short. The doors opened up, and she stepped out. Of course Yang Tian-Xu followed out as well. Then she turned to look at him with a bright smile. "Yes! My mother and I are going to have lunch together today!"
"That's good." Yang Tian-Xu forces out a smile on his face, and can only hope that one day. He will be able to meet her mother as well. They walked pa.s.s the security, and w.a.n.g Yi-An had scanned her card. While Yang Tian-Xu is the president, of course he doesn't need to scan anything, and the security would just let them in to the lobby area.
Yang Corps has tight security. The building is incredibly vast, when employees' family or friends are visiting, they would need to go to the reception desk first.
Mother w.a.n.g came to pick up w.a.n.g Yi-An for lunch, she wanted to surprise her daughter, so she arrived early, however, she was delayed by a certain someone that had clearly frustrated her, and she was indeed still angry. She wanted to tell her daughter that she was almost hit by a rich and obnoxious boy today.
How could Mother w.a.n.g imagine that the man who had caused her to be so angry today, was walking side by side with her precious daughter, w.a.n.g Yi-An.
