Chapter 214 - Sorry!!

Seeing Xu Nuan standing in front of her, Wang Meili pursed her lips in a thin line and turned to the receptionist who was watching them nervously with an accusing gaze who told her that Xu Nuan has a meeting today with some Producer and will leave the office after lunch. 

The receptionist who was looking at them from her position got baffled when Wang Meili turned to her. She bit her lower lip and turned her face away. She only told her what she knew, who would have thought that rather than going for the meeting, Xu Nuan would be in her office. 

She thought that Xu Nuan left for the meeting during the lunch break. She has no idea why she has been dragged into their war. 

Xu Nuan followed Wang Meili's gaze and saw her glaring at the poor receptionist who was trying to avoid her gaze and chuckled, " Manager Wang, why are you glaring at the poor girl? It was me who postponed the meeting, it's not her fault."

Wang Meili's frown deepened upon hearing her casual tone, " That poor girl is two years older than you. Even that receptionist is more experienced than you, and you're calling her poor?" she scoffed seeing the way Xu Nuan was acting as if she is the elder one here. 

Xu Nuan glanced at the girl and realized that she is not 26 years old anymore but 21. She has adjusted herself to this kind of lifestyle but there are times when she forgets her real age. 

She might look 21 but the inner herself is 26 years old, that too with years of experience in this field. How can she be considered a newbie? Well, for the managerial field, Yes. 

She cleared her throat and smiled, " You're right. I don't have any experience. Yet I won the bet even with no experience against you who has years of experience in this field. Isn't it amazing?" she said, giving a bruise to Wang Meili's pride. 

Wang Meili clenched her fists and gritted her teeth seeing Xu Nuan's smirk. She was enjoying this too much. She is just a newbie in the company and is thinking that she is equal to her status. 

She is the head manager in the company who has discarded those four girls and Xu Nuan has taken them under. And yet she is acting as if she has picked them herself and has a right to say anything here. If she has not given them to her, would she be standing here, acting as an independent manager?

She leaned closer to her and stared into her eyes while trying her best to not lose her temper, especially when everyone is staring at them with interest. " Xu Nuan, I haven't got back on you for playing that dirty trick of yours during the live broadcast. As your senior, I am letting you off for your dirty prank, however, don't test my patience."

" Stay within your limit if you don't want to be kicked out of this company. Since you won the bet, you can stay in the company and do your work quietly. Don't act like you're the best here just because your girls are doing okay now. Fame in the entertainment industry is not stable, it comes and goes. Don't be so haughty because of that." 

Xu Nuan raised her brows in surprise upon hearing her words and scoffed seeing her serious face. She thinks too highly of herself. 

Xu Nuan sighed and folded her hands in front of her chest and stared at Wang Meili with a solemn face, " Are you done?"

"..."

Wang Meili stared at her in confusion, seeing her not-interested kind of attitude. Rather than her frustrated-angry words, her nonchalant attitude irks her the most. 

Seeing Wang Meili's confused expressions, the corner of Xu Nuan's lips curled up, " Manager Wang, Thanks for your wise words. But it will be better if you could give some advice to yourself rather than me. Didn't the center and leader of your group get herself into some controversy?"

" I heard she was rude to the staff for the show on which they were invited. I think you should tell her to control her temper if she doesn't want to be out of favor with the public. As you said, fame comes and goes, nothing is permanent in this industry you know." she said with a calm smile, making Wang Meili's expressions gloomier than before. 

" You…!!"

" You see, I am too tired to deal with you today. However, I hope you can keep your promise. Either you apologize to girls officially or….else…" she pondered her words, making Wang Meili nervous.

" Or what? What can you do?" 

Xu Nuan smirked seeing Wang Meili's defensive attitude. " Or I have lots of ways to show your real face to the public. You know, I don't believe in patience. If something can't come to me, I will get it myself. If you don't apologize, I have ways to make you apologize."

" Do you want me to use those ways on you or will you fulfill the punishment of the bet yourself?" she asked, waiting for her response. 

Wang Meili pursed her lips upon hearing Xu Nuan's warning. Remembering the way she messed up the live broadcasting, she was a bit reluctant to mess with this crazy girl. Who knows what she will do next? 

She gritted her teeth and rubbed her neck awkwardly upon noticing the other people who were staring at them curiously, wondering what's happening. 

Pretty girls who were in the practice room also came out and were surprised to see Xu Nuan and Wang Meili together, and the air between them didn't look good. Similarly, 'The Knights' who were holding the cups of coffee in their hands and were coming to meet Xu Nuan at her office were surprised to see Wang Meili standing in front of the office. 

They stood in the corridor, wondering what's happening when Wang Meili turned to their side. Song Ai who was curious about what's happening was caught off guard to see Wang Meili's venomous expressions. 

Last time, she had gone against her, so she was a bit reluctant to face Wang Meili now. Pan Lan saw her hesitance and whispered in her ears, " Don't be nervous. She won't eat you alive."

Song Ai glanced at the girl who was having fun seeing her expressions, " How do you know?"

" Because Xu Nuan is holding her control remote." Pan Lan chuckled seeing Xu Nuan who was standing there casually while Wang Meili was appearing to be troubled. 

-

Wang Meili glanced at Xu Nuan and asked, " You only want an apology, right?"

Xu Nuan who was standing there with her hands folded in front of her chest nodded casually.

Wang Meili gritted her teeth seeing her indifferent attitude and took a deep breath before walking towards 'The Knights'.

Song Ai glanced at Pan Lan awkwardly when Wang Meili suddenly approached them. She unconsciously stepped back in nervousness but Pan Lan placed a hand on her back and rubbed it gently, to assure that nothing going to happen. 

" Ms. Wang." Pan Lan was the first one to greet Wang Meili, however, her voice was cold and monotonous which caused the corner of Xu Nuan's lips to curl into a smirk. 

'She is good.'

Wang Meili looked at the girls whom she had rejected once. She clenched her fists and took a heavy breath before saying insincerely, in an indifferent tone," Sorry! For...my previous actions." she said monotonously, through her gritted teeth. 

The girls were baffled seeing her apologizing to them in front of everyone. However, before they could respond, Wang Meili turned to Xu Nuan and said in annoyance, " Happy? I am not a coward to not fulfill my bet. However, Don't be so full of yourself. Otherwise, you will fall from high very bad." 

Xu Nuan chuckled seeing Wang Meili leaving the building while huffing in anger. She was reluctant but at least she apologized. 

It felt good.

Song Ai who was in a daze, a smile bloomed on her lips in disbelief as she glanced at Xu Nuan. She showed her a thumbs up and stared at her with the gaze that was saying, ' You have my respect. Go Xu Nuan, Go.'

Xu Nuan couldn't help but chuckled seeing her fangirling expressions. It wasn't that hard.
