CHAPTER 8

"May I come in sir?", asked Mishi while standing near the door of Mark. 

"Come in", said Mark while looking at his desktop.

"Sir these files are sent by Xian sir", said Mishi and put the files on the table. Mark looked at her and said, "Mishi??"

"Yes sir"

"You forget me? That day in the elevator....call me Mark no sir".

"Sorry sir that day I don't know"

"It's fine....you can call me Mark. Btw that day in the bar...."

"You were there?"

"Don't tell me you forget that too".

"Sorry Sir...I mean Mark I was..."

"I understand but how? I mean..''

"Oh I applied for this company and got selected as his PA", said Mishi and sighed.

"Mishi he's not that bad you know. He has gone through some bad phase in past that's why he has some anger issue", said Mark and set his gaze on her.

"But he should control that. He should know that others can feel bad too", said Mishi.

"Hm...I know. I'm with him since childhood. He wasn't like this but six years ago something happen to him that's why he..."

"What do you mean?", asked Mishi looking at Mark questionably.

"You don't need to know. Let me tell you an interesting thing he never once agreed on appointing a female assistant for him. You're an exception", said Mark with a smile on his lips.

"He wants to take his revenge from me", snapped Mishi.

"What?"

"I fought with him twice so it's obvious he will pick me among all those. I wish I could kick him at his butt and then punch him. Ahh...I'm imagining that feeling....." 

"Mishi please take me with you in this plan. I always wanted to do that". Mark stopped midway when he saw Xian at the door with his folded hands and glaring at them. He immediately said, "Mishi you need to...."

"I know I need an opportunity for that and I've planned that already..." 

"Mishi you should stop...", said Mark trying to stop her but she cuts him and said, "Mark I'll stop but not here. Mr Wei said that I've to go in an event with him and that's the moment when I'm going to kick him that he will fall in front of everyone....yes he can't even fire me ...Hahhha....So Mark how's my idea", said Mishi excitedly. 

"I sent you here for work and you're planning how to beat a CEO in the event?", said Xian with a raised brow. Hearing his voice Mishi turned back. Xian put his hands in his pants pockets and took steps towards her.

"I wasn't saying it for you... I mean I've a friend name Xian Ping who always irritates me"

"Yes Xian, Mishi and I was talking about that.... ", said Mark defending Mishi.

Xian smiled and said, "Mark whom are you making a fool? Ms Xin go to your desk...I'm coming there in 5 minutes", said Xian glaring at her. Mishi quickly walked away from there.

"So what were you saying?", asked Xian glaring at Mark.

"Bro sorry but she was right. I mean you're too much sometimes that's why you need a good beating....", said Mark and laughed. 

"Hey go to that meeting in room 1, I've to go urgently somewhere", said Xian.

"Where?"

"Outside for some work!", said Xian stressing his words and walked away from there.

"He will again do something now", mumbled Mishi when the office door is being pushed and she quickly started working on the desktop. 

"Ms Xin carry my blazer and the car keys over there.....be quick don't hide your face", said Xian and walked out. 

Mishi quickly ran over Xian's desk. She picked his car keys then the blazer and ran after him. He walked inside the VIP elevator and it was going to get close when Mishi put her leg in between and the elevator again opens up.

"You're a good sprinter", said Xian. 

She gave him the blazer. "Hold it for now", said Xian and then folded his sleeves up. They reached the ground floor, in the parking lot.

"Drive to the Ultraviolet restaurant", said Xian and opened the door of back seat when Mishi said, "sorry sir, but I don't know how to drive".

"What??"

Mishi bowed her head down. 

"You should've learnt driving instead of fighting with others and making some best up plans", said Xian sarcastically and grabbed the keys from her.

"Sir you can call your driver", said Mishi.

"He's on leave..", replied Xian and opened the driver seat's door.

"Should I order a taxi?", asked Mishi.

"No....get in", said Xian.

Mishi opened the back seat door when Xian said, "am I driver to you? Sit in front" and then get into the driver's seat.

"But...."

"Quick quick.....I can't be late. A client is waiting for me", said Xian. Mishi quickly get into the passenger seat and Xian drove away. 

His phone started ringing. Put it on speaker said Xian to Mishi. 

"Hello....Mr Wei yes wait for me there", said Xian. 

"Sir the client is stuck in traffic. He said it may take him 2 hours since the traffic is heavy near the airport", said Li Wei.

"Okay....", said Xian and gestured Mishi to cut the call.

"Learn driving...", snapped Xian at Mishi.

"You can hire other driver sir".

"Money not grows in trees. I'm giving you more than enough salary so learn it by the end of this week", said Xian.

"Do you want to die?", said Mishi.

"What?"

"I tried learning but I almost got into an accident so I can't learn", said Mishi.

"Useless"

"What? Useless? Then why you hired me?"

"Should I need to tell?", said Xian while focussing his eyes on the road..."and what's wrong with your clothes....don't you have some good formal dresses?"

"Unlike you I can't throw money in a single shot", said Mishi.

Xian changed the route of the car. 

"It's not the road to Ultraviolet", said Mishi.

"Because we're going to buy some formal dresses for you", said Xian.

"I don't have enough money for that. I'll buy after work", said Mishi.

"Why you talk so formally with me as if I'm your friend. Be responsible for your position", said Xian.

"Okay sirrrrr...", said Mishi.

He stopped the car before a dress shop and told Mishi to get off. She followed him inside the showroom. 

"Make her look good. I mean give her some formal dresses which will suit her", said Xian to one of the staff members.

"Sir I don't want..."

"We're going in a meeting. So you have to dress nicely", said Xian and told the staff girl to take her inside. He rested on the couch there. After half an hour she came with two suits...."my budget is going to hamper because of this expensive dresses", said Mishi in her mind. 

"You bought these?", asked Xian which make her come out of thoughts.

"Yes....these are perfect", said Mishi.

Xian looked at her in disbelief and walked inside the women section. He picked five formal business suits for her and told the lady on the counter to make the payment with his card. 

"Sir I will..."

"You won't be able to afford. Because you're my PA so you've to wear such clothes. Now take this suit and go get changed in five minutes", said Xian and turned to the lady at the counter. 

Mishi came there after 15 minutes and then they left for the Ultraviolet restaurant.

"Chang my father is in management agency. I asked him about this agency which you were asking.....He said that it's fraud so don't go for it. Dad said  she wants then she can give audition in the agency where he's working. It's next month", said Xu Tang(friend of Chang).

"Thanks Xu.....", said Chang with a smile.

"It's okay....tell Chunhua to keep distance from such things", said Xu.

"Hm....I'm going to talk to her wanna come with me?", asked Chang.

"Okay let's go", said Xu.

"Hey Ling Hua did you see Chunhua?", asked Chang.

"She was with Lian Lee in the ground", said Ling. Chang thanked her and went with Xu to the park.

"She isn't here....ground is clear", said Xu. 

"Maybe in the backyard", said Chang and walked there with Xu. They kept on walking when they heard whispers. They stopped in midway.....

"Chunhua you did right by signing the contract. Now you'll make a debut in two years", said Mingmei(friend of Chunhua).

"Yeah. Chang wasn't giving the money and that's why I've to sneak in his room when he was sleeping.....", said Chunhua.

"Chunhua", shouted Chang and ran to her. She got afraid seeing him. ....."brother..."

"Why did you do that? I told you not to....", said Chang angrily.

"Don't interfere in my life. I'm grown up now", said Chunhua.

"That was a fraud... You gave her so much money without even telling me. I told you I'll help you...", said Chang with anger on his face.

"Fraud??"

"Dad is in an agency. I asked about this agency from him. He told me there's no such agency like this", said Xu.

"Mingmei your mother is her friend right? Let's talk...."

"Chunhua what are you saying? My mother just helped you....why are you dragging my mom in this?", asked Mingmei.

"Mingmei but....."

"Sorry I've to go to the class....see you later", said Mingmei and walked away from there.

"Brother I..."

"I told you not to trust her", said Chang and folded his hands. 

Chunhua started crying..."I just want to help my sister..."

"Chang don't be angry on her", said Xu. 

"Stop crying.....Sisi will scold me", said Chang....."let's go to the class".

"Chunhua you can go for audition in the agency where my dad is working. He said there's an audition next month so don't cry....", said Xu.

"Thanks..", said Chunhua.

"Don't tell Sisi....", said Chang looking at Chunhua.

"She will ask...", said Chunhua.

"I'll handle that", said Chang and walked away from there. Xu told Chunhua to come along with them.
