Two days passed and Chen Kaori was done with her design proposals. She gave them to Bei Yang to take during the signing of the contract.
"Kaori, are you sure you don't wanna be there? They might have some questions on your proposal." Bei Yang said as he took the folders she handed.
"Sorry, Senpai...I really have something to do today. Please...I will leave it to you to make them understand."
Bei Yang is easily swayed as he likes Chen Kaori and agreed without further asking.
She bid him goodbye and good luck as they parted ways outside their office.

He Zifeng was nervous and excited. He had not felt that in any of his contract signings before. He could not pick which suit to wear for the first time. He is signing with Blink Advertising, but he feels like he's signing a contract with Chen Kaori. Once she does, he will never let go.
He tried to browse his wardrobe again, looking for something Chen Kaori picked for him. As his hands moved the hanged clothes, he suddenly paused, remembering that she gave him a suit, with a color he does not usually wear, on Christmas eve a couple of years back. He remembered she said it was in taupe. It was a color he had no idea about, but did not really care about too, at that time. Back then, in exchange, he gave her a watch with mother of pearl face. He never saw her wear it though. He was thinking whether the signing is special enough for her to wear it.
He moved the hangers until he found the taupe suit, then began dressing up.
.
He Zifeng sat on the opposite sofa, arms crossed over his torso, looking sternly on Bei Yang who came alone.
Bei Yang felt not only intimidated, but scared. The room was too silent, you can hear the Newton's cradle moving.
Assistant Jiang brought in the tea and felt the tension in the air. Earlier that day, colleagues were chatting online about the boss looking more attractive, that even his expression is refreshing. The boss's expression, right now, is enough to kill.
"Mr. Bei, have some tea." Assistant Jiang said as he served the cup.
Bei Yang nodded, but could not express words. His shaking hands tried to reach for the cup but Assistant Jiang dared to ask the most crucial question.
"By the way, you're alone today. Miss Chen is unvailable?" Assistant Jiang pretended to be innocent with a smile.
"Uh, yes...she...she has something...she needs to do something." Bei Yang felt the piercing gaze turn sharper.
"More important than this contract?!" He Zifeng suddenly spoke, then grabbed the contract on the table, curled it with his hand and slammed the coffee table with it, spilling some tea on the contracts.
Bei Yang was dumbfounded as he stared at the tea splashes coloring the white papers of the contract. He did not expect that the CEO of H&B would be that strict.
"Mr. Bei, could you get hold of Miss Chen?" Assistant Jiang almost pleaded, as cold sweat ran on his nape with his boss fuming beside him.
"Uh, oh...okay...I will..." Bei Yang tried to stand to make the call, but was stopped.
"Make the call here," He Zifeng ordered.
"Uh, yes...yes, Sir...uh, Mr. He..."
"Hurry and get Chen Kaori to come here right now!" He Zifeng tried to hold up too much emotions that his face was red. His commanding tone almost scared the soul out of Bei Yang.
With trembling fingers, Bei Yang tapped on his his phone to dial Chen Kaori's number.
