33 Ethos and Belle

Anna was wearing only the green satin shirt, it reached above her mid thigh showing off her slender toned white legs. The satin shirt outlined her perfect body. Ji Yang's pant was too long for her so she optedonly for shirt.

Ji Yang's gaze never left her, his eyes observed her everywhere. His brown eyes was getting darker making Anna squirm in her place.

Ji Yang never had this reaction for any women even when they tried to seduce him almost striping in front of him. But Anna was different, he was feeling certain feelings which he thought he would never feel. It's probably because consciously or unconsciously they both shared an intimate moment and he got addicted to her.

'This isn't right.' He thought.

Tearing of his gaze from her he got up.

"I'll be in the study." Not to looking at her Ji Yang opened the door.

"uh.. I'll go sleep in guest room."

Ji Yang paused.

"Whatever." He left the room.

Anna had a quizzical look, what's wrong with him. She thought he'll say something and put up his arrogant attitude but he agreed so easily.

'Whatever, as long as I can have some freedom.'

Without caring much Anna slept in the guest room. Whereas Ji Yang spent half of the night in his study room reading documents of Prosperity project.

Next morning Anna went straight to Yu Han's apartment. It was a two bedroom apartment located in 15th floor of Goodwood Residence.

The apartment had minimalist look but elegant and sophisticated just like Yu Han. It looked well organized and tidy but due to desertion of few months the apartment looked little dusty.

Anna was amazed, if it was her probably the apartment would look like a junk. She wasn't the type to be well organized, she always used to get scoldings from her mom and then her dad would come to rescue her.

She missed her old life her old life style where her revolved around only three people and lived without any care.

Getting ready into new set of clothes Anna left to Yu company. Morning she left too early from Glory Manor with only a note left for Ji Yang stating she'll be going to her apartment to change her clothes.

In Yu company

When Anna entered her chamber a figure was already waiting for her.

"Dad what are you doing here?" Anna asked in confusion.

"Nothing just came to see you." Yu Kong smiled patting her head.

"Did you eat?" Yu Kong questioned.

"Yeah I had." She had her breakfast in the car while coming.

"Good then I'll leave." Yu Kong left after seeing his daughter.

Anna got involved in her schedule.

In the meeting room.

"'Ethos'is one of the greatest work of Master Qiao but he wasn't ready to display his work to public but shockingly somehow Blossom has managed to produce it with new formula. If this product is launched Blossom might set new hype in the country."

"It will be difficult to beat them if those Lilliputian managed to bring it to the market." One of them said in distaste.

"True." Vice president Liu rui said.

"Why don't we launch 'Belle' before they do?" Yu Feng suggested.

"Belle is still in under progression." One of them answered.

"Why don't we contact Master Qiao and negotiate with him. It's his original idea it will better than Blossom's new formula."

"Master Qiao is refusing to meet anyone and moreover no one knows his current location."

"Our only way to compete with them is to speed up the Belle."

"We are far from achieving even half of the Ethos, we started to work on Belle only half a year ago so it's impossible but.." Shen Yirui looked at Yu Yuri.

"But what?" Yu Chong asked.

"If we can get the formula of Master Qiao we need only twenty days to finish Belle." Yu Yuri completed his sentence.

The whole meeting room was dispirited.

"Try to contact Master Qiao at any cost." Yu Kong commanded.

"I don't think we should waste our time on Master Qiao." Anna spoke the very first time in the meeting.

"Yu Han you have become too much competitive." Yu Chong said sarcastically. Few of them smirked.

"Sister we can't let Blossom win against us and finding Master Qiao is the only best solution." Yu Yuri said in soft voice. Yu Feng and other members also agreed with her.

"Han what do you have in mind?" Yu Kong was interested to listen.
