Yan Mei's eyes looked focused as she looked at the doc.u.ments prepared for the upcoming launch of her company's new collection. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she carefully read its contents, making sure that everything is in place so they would not commit any mistakes during the launch.
"Okay, done," she mumbled as she put the doc.u.ments done, stretching her arms to relax her muscles as she released a sigh of relief.
At the same moment, she heard a knock on the door. "Come in," she instructed, making Su Bei walk in with a smile plastered on her face.
"Are you done? How's everything?"
Su Bei closed the door as she stood up beside Yan Mei, making her look up to meet her secretary's gaze.
"Good," Yan Mei answered, her eyebrow slightly arched up as she saw a smile on Su Bei's face.
"Look at you! You seem happy," she commented, Yan Mei's lips curling into a teasing smirk. "Are you excited for your date with Leng Shao tonight?--you being expectant that you won't be single any longer?"
"Oh, stop it, you..." Su Bei blushed and rolled her eyes at her, making Yan Mei giggle.
"With the doc.u.ments prepared, why not we have a break and go shopping for some clothes? For the date?" Yan Mei suggested as she playfully tapped her fingers on the table.
"Sure, why not?" Su Bei beamed and agreed.
Yan Mei stood up in a heartbeat, not hesitating.
"All we have to do is wait for the launch, anyway. Let's go to the mall."
The two decided to go to the mall during their break. They informed the other employees of the other things to do before the two left the remaining tasks in their care. Since the mall is just near the company, the two decided to walk.
The moment Yan Mei and Su Bei entered the mall, their senses were overloaded. There were a lot of designer clothes in the mall--the messages carefully styled in images to seduce consumers as their eyes wandered. Even people who were just window-shopping would be attracted to buy in an instant.
Even planned buyers would become impulsive buyers if they stay and look for too long, making the advertis.e.m.e.nt effective!
"Which shop would you want to visit? Chanel? Louis Vuitton?" Yan Mei asked Su Bei.
Su Bei looked around a little embarrassed. She has never stepped foot in such a big mall before. Su Bei will always stared through the windows with a dreamy look of owing one of these luxurious brands.
As if sensing her friend's discomfort, Yan Mei grabbed Su Bei's hand and led her to the Chanel store.
Not far off, a woman who had her jade black long her tied in a ponytail, wearing a simple day dress that had accentuated her pure-white lotus aura, was seen window shopping in front of Chanel.
As Su Bei and Yan Mei were walking and with her asking which shops to visit, the two had suddenly stopped in their tracks when Yan Mei noticed a familiar figure.
'Isn't… that Tang Wei,' Yan Mei thought as she remembered how troublesome she was. She can still remember her words at the gala some months ago.
"Do you think he loves you? Wait for his ex to come back." Tang Wei's wordse echoed in Yan Mei's head.
Even though she had act nonchalantly back then, Yan Mei had to admit she was hurt and afraid. She never got to ask Lei Zhao about this famous ex of his.
"What's wrong," Su Bei asked, Yan Mei's eyebrows slightly twitching as she heaved a small sigh.
"Nothing. Let's walk straight and go to Louis Vuitton instead. I'm not in the mood for any drama.," Yan Mei said, Su Bei blinking her eyes, not understanding why, but she still agreed.
"Okay, then."
As the two continued walking straight, it was coincidental that Tang Wei turned her body to walk in the opposite direction. The moment she did, her eyes locked with Yan Mei's, making Tang Wei's calm demeanor change into something different from her usual pure aura.
Malice.
"Oh... if it isn't Miss Yan."
"It's Mrs. Lei….who are you?" Yan Mei's lips curved into a sardonic smile as she asked Tang Wei calmly despite Tang Wei's cold voice towards her. Yan Mei kept her composure, not affected by her because if she would, she would show how immature she was for wasting her time on a woman who is not worthy of her attention.
"Miss Yan...you have forgotten me already? Is it because I look more beautiful now?"
Su Bei scoffed when she heard Tang Wei. This woman is really shameless.
"Hmm….yeah very beautiful." Yan Mei nodded as she said.
Tang Wei straighten her shoulders as a smirk appeared on her lips. Of course, she looked beautiful. She had taken time to work on herself ever since her encounter with Yan Mei at the gala. She even tools trip outside the country to see a dermatologist.
Doesn't Lei Zhao like Yan Mei because she is pretty? Then she will invest in her skin to look more beautiful than Yan Mei. Maybe Lei Zhao would finally notice her.
"It just….your lack of brains overshadows your beauty. Such a pity." Yan Mei sighed as she said.
Tang Wei stiffened when she heard Yan Mei.
"You…" Anger coursed through Tang Wei when she heard Yan Mei. Did she just call her stupid?!
"Excuse us," Yan Mei then added, not wanting to waste any time because she knew that Tang Wei would impulsively cause problems. "My friend and I have some errands to attend to."
With her heels clacking against the mall's beautifully tiled floor, Tang Wei turned her body to look at Yan Mei's retreating figure.
She felt her blood course through her veins as she felt angry at the thought of her being Lei Zhao's wife when Tang Wei worked so hard to get his attention even though she failed countless times to make him turn his gaze to her.
