Chapter 617 Hard To Say Seeing the situation, Cloe had to step up and remind, "Chief, we are getting late."
"Just come then," said Raelle to both Cloe and Shui Xian.
And the three of them stepped out of the building. Just as Raelle had said, it was really sunny. But it wasn't like the winter sun that felt comfortable. This sun was irritating and hot. Too hot. With her shades on, she got to her car which was already waiting for her and looked back at Shui Xian.
"I'm leaving. I'll see you at home," said Raelle.
Shui Xian leaned over and kissed her forehead, "See you at home."
Then he saw Raelle getting into the car and just stood there watching the car leave. He stood there until the car disappeared at the intersection before sighing and walking back to the office.
"Is that really our Master Xian? Why does he look like a lovestruck fool?" someone commented standing in the lobby in a low voice.
"Hahaha!" One of them laughed out loud as she said, "I'm so happy! All those who were stubbornly saying that Master Xian and Vice President Ruan are the real deal are slapped in the face!"
"Right! Last time I talked to that Yiyi," added another one. "She was arrogantly saying that Master Xian doesn't interact with Vice President in front of his employees because he doesn't want to hurt her reputation but he cherishes her and respects her. Bah! I so feel like today's scene was a slap to her face."
Others also joined in a snickering, "Right! I wonder what face she'd have to come and say that again!"
"Haiz! I never thought I'd see such a gentle side of Master Xian. He looked so different. Not his usual majestic self that seemed hard to approach. He seemed so down to earth."
"Even if he looks mellow, he still isn't in our reach," someone lamented. "Can't you see how much he loves President Raelle?"
"Who can't see it? Indeed, such good-looking people are meant for each other. People like us can only watch."
When Shui Xian went back to the company, his earlier mellow look was nowhere to be seen. He went back to his cold aura that pushed people away, warning them to keep their distance. He didn't know what Ruan Meilin said to Raelle but it seemed this Vice President was really taking advantage of his leniency.
He passed by Ruan Meilin's office and said, "It seems you have too much time on your hand."
"Xian..." she looked aggrievedly at him.
"Keep your act to yourself," he said. "Whatever I owe you, I have already done enough to pay it back to you. Don't think I'll take any more of your nonsense. Also, say another word to my lover and you're out of here! Keep that in mind!"
"Brother Xian!" she called out to him from behind with tears trickling down her face, "How can you treat me like this for a person who just entered your life? I've been with you for years."
"I didn't ask you to," was his response. "It's you who selfishly stayed because you thought just because Hebe left an empty place in my life, you'll be able to take it." He was about to leave but stopped and added, "And don't even for a minute think that I don't know what part you played in my divorce. So, stay away from Raelle. She isn't someone like you can afford to offend."
After that, he didn't even bother looking at her and slammed the door shut.
Ruan Meilin wiped her tears and looked angry. No, she was filled with hatred. And all this hatred was directed at Raelle since she believed if it wasn't for Raelle, she wouldn't have to hear all that from Shui Xian. Her brain circuit was really malfunctioning and repeating the same mantra over and over again.
....
Raelle went directly to the meeting with Shui Xian's company. She was meeting some government officials to discuss some policies. The meeting lasted for over 2 hours and when she was leaving, Minister Chen stopped her.
Smiling good-naturedly at her, he said, "President Raelle really doesn't give us poor people a way to talk."
Raelle took that as a compliment, "I know. I have always been very good at talking."
Minister Chen laughed out loud when he heard that response from her, "You're a very interesting young lady."
"Thank you!" responded Raelle.
"I have a dinner party at my house next week, I'm wondering if you can spare some time?"
Raelle paused when she heard that. She didn't like socializing, everyone already knew that in the circle. But it wasn't always good to not give such officials some face. It seemed she had to think about it carefully.
"I wonder if there is a special reason for this dinner party," inquired Raelle.
Minister Chen smiled at her, "It's my wife's birthday so I invited some people to gather. She likes lively places. I can't possibly go against her."
Raelle looked at this old man and said, "Minister Chen really loves his wife."
"Aiyo, I spent 25 years with her already," said Minister Chen. "I have to treat her better and better for not giving up on me."
Raelle nodded and said, "Then I'll come. I'd like to meet Minister Chen's wife."
"I'll be waiting for you," said Minister Chen as they said their goodbyes.
Cloe looked at Raelle, "You're really going?"
"We are going," was Raelle's response.
"But I was gonna go on a date that day," said Cloe.
"Don't act like you aren't seeing your boyfriend tonight," said Raelle. "It's just a dinner party. You can think about it. If you really don't want to go, then I won't force you."
Cloe was left gaping at her in disbelief. Did her Chief just gave her the right to make her own decision? Was she dreaming? She could choose not to go? But did she dare to do so? It was hard to say for now.
