"An invitation card?" Li Xue asked, staring at the enveloped golden card with some surprise. Though she was already expecting the card to arrive, she did not expect it to come this soon as she had talked to the old lady Li just the last day.
"You know them closely?" Lin Xinyi asked, not missing the gaze with which Li Xue was staring at the printed name on the thick paper.
Li Xue smiled before nodding faintly. "Not too close but we were once close acquaintances. That's it" She said before opening the card to check. "Ohh, that's a couple invitation card that requires me to come with a partner. Does that mean I have to take one with myself?" She asked but internally the childish trick could only make her laugh aloud.
She doesn't know whose trick it was but whoever it was, she knew it could not be more childish. Did they really think that she would be falling for it?
Lin Xinyi blinked with a nod. "Though it's not necessary, if you want to take you can take someone. A friend or …"
"Or me!"
Before Lin Xinyi could complete her words, a voice popped up from behind making the two women turn their attention to the person at the door.
"Take me. I won't mind some free food and you will get a partner to accompany you as well without bringing much controversy. What say?" Su Fai said, before giving a useless knock at the door and entering inside the office without any restriction.
"CEO Su!" Lin Xinyi stood up from her seat in a greeting gesture while Li Xue as well followed her suit.
Su Fai merely nodded to the greetings before repeating his concern once again. "So are we attending the engagement ceremony together?" He asked, his brows raising at the manager first before moving to look expectantly at Li Xue.
Lin Xinyi shrugged her shoulders, looking at Li Xue. "If you say I can arrange one of the male models from our company to accompany you. It's up to you. There is no force." She said, completely ignoring the suggestion of the man from before.
Li Xue as well nodded to her words. "Then that will be a better choice, Sister Xinyi." And at their exchange of words, Su Fai could only alternate his gaze between them.
"Hey, are you two deliberately ignoring me? Did you not hear that I wanted to accompany you there in their engagement? That I want some free food?"
"That will be tough, CEO Su. If you go there with Li Xue, the media might make some personal questions that would be hard to explain. So it will be only better if we let some other male model under our banner accompany her". Li Xinyi said, getting straight to the point and Li Xue just nodded to her words like a puppet nodding to her master.
Su Fai heard her and pouted. He was about to say something when Lin Xinyi's phone rang and she went to a corner to take the call. Seeing her walk away, the man could only turn to Li Xue to make her accept.
"What personal questions? We can answer as it comes. Furthermore, how can anyone scare us with just a few questions? We are friends, not the thieves who have to stay hidden under the cover of darkness. Above all, I can't believe, the fearless girl that I have known back from college could get frightened by just a few public questions." He said deliberately with confidence but his words only made Li Xue purse her lips.
She looked at her manager at a distance before looking back at the man to ask, "CEO Su, is that hotel really that luxury that you can't afford going on your expenses?"
"Of course. What do you know?" Su Fai quickly replied and at his snobbish acceptance, Li Xue could just roll her eyes. "Fine, fine, I accept. It's not just for the food that I want to go, but I want to go for you as well. Without me, you would be bored there. So, please take me". He requested again and this time, the woman could not argue more. Not because of the reason he gave to her but for the concern, she could see clearly in his eyes.
"Fine, we can go together." Li Xue said while her eyes went to look at her manager who had come back after attending the call. "Sister Xinyi, I think it would be better if CEO Su accompanies me there. This will give us a chance to clear the doubts of the people openly. And also give us the valid reason for past friendship to attend the function together".
She said and to her derived thoughts, Su Fai nodded diligently. Lin Xinyi looked at him and could not say more. Previously, she used to think that there was something between the two but now that Li Xue has said that there is someone else, then she could only be carefree regarding the relationship she shares with Su Fai.
"Okay. Since you are fine and thought well through it then, I have no issues. Since the invitation has been sent to the company, let's take this officially. I will arrange the things for you and CEO Su together" Lin Xinyi said, exchanging gazes and glances with the man.
Su Fai nodded, clapping with joy, "Perfect, then it's decided. I will go and handle my things then." He said before turning and leaving at once, fearing that if stayed any longer then maybe, he would once again be excluded from the plan.
"Okay, sister Xinyi. Since it's already decided. I will take my leave now. I still have to go somewhere." Li Xue said, turning and smiling at Lin Xinyi, ready to say goodbye. But the manager halted her.
"Wait, Li Xue. There is something more" Lin Xinyi said before opening the drawer once again to pull out a card. "Here. I have forgotten to give you this. Your remuneration card from Aurora Fashion show. Though it was prepared a good time back, it was only suitable to give it to you now, according to the company's guidelines."
Li Xue looked at the card and smiled. "Thank you, Sister Xinyi. I was so waiting for it. Now, while shopping today, I won't be shorting money."
"You are going shopping? Be careful. Don't do anything to come into the paparazzi's view". Lin Xinyi reminded and Li Xue happily nodded before sauntering off.
