Chapter 29: She's One Of Those People

Xu Mey spent an hour thinking about 'Love is not treacherous, trust is.' She was trying to understand whether Sensei asked her to not love Ye Jie until he gains her trust or to love him without any trust? This skepticism was making her dizzy. She only drank the smoothie in the morning and now her stomach was growling in protest.

She was going to order the food but decided against it. She hated eating all alone. In all these years, she perceived one thing; eating without any company makes you feel the loneliest person alive. Instead of you eating the food, it gives the impression that loneliness is eating you whole.

She thought for a moment, Wu Wang and Lin Shen worked in City T. Jun Li Na was too chatty for her to bear. He Jian was on a business trip. That left only Li Qiao.

She wore her leather jacket before wearing the helmet. Her Suzuki Hayabusa, the fastest motorbike in the world was like her baby. She didn't like cars very much but bikes were her love. Other than loving the speed, she also loved the fact that it served as a way to hide her identity. There was no news or photos available of President Xu because who would expect a President to ride on a bike to her office?

She reached at Lotus Entertainment's building in 10 minutes and drove straight to the underground car parking. Most people in Lotus Entertainment knew Xu Mey. They didn't know who she was but they definitely knew that she had some kind of a relationship with President Li.

She didn't have the access code for the private elevator in the parking. She rarely came and whenever she did, Li Qiao's personal assistant Ms. Kim was always waiting for her. Today, she was dropping by unannounced. She wanted to surprise him but who knew she'd be the one to get surprised instead.

She passed the reception without any hitch but at the next turn, a blind bimbo bumped into her. The blind bimbo had a cup of coffee in her hand which was oh so conveniently spilled on Xu Mey's clothes along with her own.

"Aiyo! Are you blind? Can't you see? You ruined sister Yana's dress. It's a branded dress from Phantom's limited collection series. You need to compensate for the damage." The girl beside the blind bimbo which seemed to be her assistant gave Xu Mey a look over. Xu Mey's clothes were not branded. She didn't like wearing branded clothes. They were a hassle to her.

She always dressed up simply but decently. But the assistant's face held a look of disdain and contempt seeing her not so worthy clothes. So what if she had a pretty face? Clothes make a person.

Xu Mey looked at the blind bimbo and recognized her to be Yana Mo. She was the artist Lotus Entertainment signed last year poaching her from Spark Entertainments. She was pretty with decent acting level. Xu Mey didn't have any interest in movies or dramas which is why she didn't know much about Yana Mo.

"Feng, don't be so rude. This miss doesn't seem like she can compensate for this expensive dress." Her voice was soft like a breeze. "Look, Miss, why don't you just apologize to me on your knees and we can forget this matter."

"You want me to apologize and that too on my knees?" Xu Mey snickered. "Are you worth it?"

"See sister Yana, people like this b*tch won't appreciate your sympathy for them. They don't deserve it." The assistant raised her hand to slap Xu Mey but her wrist was caught by Xu Mey. They were a lot of people gathered around them whispering around.

Under the watchful eyes, Xu Mey twisted the assistant's arm making her scream in pain. When Xu Mey wasn't paying any attention to Yana Mo, she tried to push her down. Being caught unguarded, Xu Mey took a few steps back involuntarily but before she could lose her footing, her back bumped into a broad chest and a strong arm snaked around her waist keeping her steady.

Xu Mey looked up at the man's face to see the familiar eyes staring back at her with concern. "You okay?" He asked in a low voice. Xu Mey nodded in reply.

Upon seeing Li Qiao, Yana Mo and her assistant came running towards him. "President Li, this women ruined the dress which company provided for my movie premiere and refused to compensate for it as well." Yana Mo was busy being pitiful with teary eyes which is why she failed to see the way Li Qiao held Xu Mey at his side. The anger in Li Qiao's eyes was flaring but no one noticed except for Xu Mey and his assistant, Kim. "She's so evil. She even injured my assistant."

"Are you done?" Li Qiao asked impatiently with a cold look. Yana Mo nodded meekly. "Then pack your stuff." With that sentence, he directed Xu Mey to his private elevator. Xu Mey looked at the baffled Yana Mo and passed a smug smile to her.

Yana was so angry that she dug her nails in her palms piercing them. "Ms. Yana Mo, Lotus Entertainment is canceling the contract with you. Our lawyers will contact you shortly." Secretary Kim walked away after saying her piece.

Yana Mo ran after her like a lunatic and held her wrist as she begged. "Sister Kim, please don't do this. Help me placate President Li somehow." Her tears were flowing freely.

"I heard a saying once, 'There are some people in this world, we should not mess with'." Secretary Kim escaped her clutches and added, "The one you just offended is one of those people." She left a crying wide-eyed Yana Mo before following her boss.
