Chapter 148 - Sleepless nights Part 3

Su Lin immediately appointed the young woman, Ah Min as her ȧssistant and gave her the home address for meeting tomorrow.

A confused and perplexed Ah Min left with her mouth agape. That had to be the fastest interview she had ever attended.

"When you walk out, inform the rest that they can go home." Su Lin's crisp voice sounded behind her.

Both Monkey and Luther, who were intermittently observing her odd behavior, approached Su Lin as soon as Ah Shi left.

"Wifey, what godly method of interviewing is this??"

"He he. If you can offer some services in return, this handsome guy here can help you out." Luther teased Su Lin about her lack of professional experience.

Since he was managing an entire crime syndicate, even Luther had more managerial experience than her.

Su Lin smirked and abruptly pulled the tease closer by tugging at his collar.

"Do you love me, my dear?" She suddenly whispered in his ears, making the man blush slightly.

He silently gazed at her for a minute before nodding his head helplessly. The man was apparently still uneasy with her complete undivided attention.

"mmm. Just then your heart sang a melodious tune. Do you know what a liar's heart sounds like?" She silently whispered.

Since she was a foundation realm cultivator, Su Lin was able to extend her spiritual sense and scan the potential employees.

Su Lin put a finger on her lips, signaling Luther to stop snickering and then asked Moneky in a threatening tone, "Hey Monkey, do you think your Master is the most beautiful woman on this planet?"

Monkey immediately answered on reflex. "Of course. My master is the most beautiful woman. No one can even come close." It was a very fake response, but what else could he do.

Both Su Lin and Luther chuckled at the obvious lie.

Monkey didn't mind though. He knew that they were making fun of him.

But he would rather have this than being force-fed dog food minute after minute. He continued cleaning the storage freezer with a deadpan expression.

He made a mental note to not tag along with these two lunatics just for the sake of good food.

"Madam, should I really do this?" Angela's ȧssistant Jose hesitantly asked her.

She knew exactly how fond Angela was about this Mr. Meng. So why suddenly?

Mama Meng had invited Angela over to the new villa for a house warming party. Jose rushed into the office room to inform her boss about this wonderful news.

But contrary to her expectation, Angela's face did not show even the slightest hint of joy or excitation.

Angela continued sipping the coffee in her hand, with her demeanor completely cold and indifferent.

"Trash it. Don't contact Shi Meng or his family, until I say so." She murmured, still busy with the papers in her hand.

Jose closed the office door gently and left without disturbing her boss any further.

Even after working with her for over 8 years, she still couldn't fathom her boss or any of her moves.

But she knew one thing, her boss is always ten steps ahead of everyone else.

Just as her ȧssistant closed the door, Angela looked up with a subtle smile on her lips.

Shi Meng?

He was already in her past.

Angela placed the papers on the table in the front of her and tapped away on her ŀȧptop with her nimble fingers gracefully moving at a terrifying speed.

Every time she typed her name, her eyebrows creased a little subconsciously.

Angela's mesmerizing face revealed a brilliant smile as she finished signing the last of the papers.

Hissenger. She was a Hissenger. She hated it.

And Angela was finally one step closer to moving away from that criminal family and that bloodied name.

She picked up her phone to text her brother about the finalization of the project when the last name she had called flashed on the screen.

Angela couldn't help but chuckle in amusement. She always picked the bad ones! How repulsive!

Her fingers moved slightly to press the delete buŧŧon, but after hesitating for a few seconds decided against it.

"Not yet." She murmured absent-mindedly.

She had long since lost any sort of interest in him. But she needed to keep up this charade for just a bit longer.

She already knew that he was married and now divorced. That did not concern her much.

But, someone with this much baggage and so obviously uninterested in her? She was not a fool to go behind a man like that.

It did hurt her a bit though.

He was the one who chased after her in the first place. And now, he was the one who lost interest in her gradually.

Angela relaxed her creased brows. Relationships are never meant to be forced. No one person was that important.

And that type of pedestrian behavior was not for someone like her. There were other men before him, and there would be other men after him.

Angela pushed the unimportant thoughts out of her mind and took another sip of her hazelnut flavored coffee.

She took the next folder, that was on top of the huge pile. It had the details of the artists currently popular in China.

She tapped her fingers on her petite ŀȧp and marked a few names, as she turned the pages of the folder. Her entire concentration was focused on the reports in front of her.

This was not something that would be a part of the Hissenger conglomerate, but rather a part of her own establishment.
