Chapter 70 - 70 Oh Dear, I'm Neglected My Duty During The chase

"Meeting at twelve," Yi Lan calls as she totters out of Xu Feng Brother office.

I start sifting through my current clients, making notes on current statuses. Our fortnightly progress meetings are a relaxed affair to keep Xu Feng Brother ab.r.e.a.s.t on the current projects and to advise Er Xi of any paperwork that needs to be completed.

It's also an hour of scoffing cream cakes and drinking tea continuously. I must go for a run tonight.

"Er Xi" I call down to the office. She looks up from her computer screen, acknowledging me by removing her glasses.

"Can I have a list of payment statuses on clients, please?" I ask.

"Of course, Wei Lin Jie." She answer genuinely.

"Oh, and me to Er Xi," Yi Lan shouts from her desk too.

Er Xi looks at Fu Heng if he want too,then he nods. It's rare when you have to chase payment, but it's actually a highly embarrassing when you do. Plus, Xu Feng Brother was very strictly if it about the payment deadlines.

As time tick forward, so do I get lost in my work for a few hours, chasingm all the orders and replying to emails that delaying from yesterday.

When at twelve, Er Si places a box on my desk awake me from my busy paperwork.

"This for you." She say.

Fuhh! Why I didn't hear the door open.

"Thanks, Er Xi." I thanks as look down at the white box.

Of course, I know who it's from. I open the box, secretly excited, while glancing around the office to make sure no attention is aimed in my direction.

Inside is a variety macaroon. I smile widely.

Then I found a note attached, I grab the note and open it.

Dearest  F.W

"Love is variant as these cookies. Every color and taste always have the same meaning is you."

Yours Feng.

I smile, pick up the macaroon and sink my teeth in as I grab my folder and head for Xu Feng Brother office. With Er Xi follows behind with a tray full of tea and cakes.

"Wait. We wants too!" Fu Heng whines as he watching me pop the last piece of macaroon into my mouth. He gives me a disgusted look as I wipe a lump of cream from the corner of my mouth.

"I want one of them,Er Xi" He diverts his attention to the tray that Er Xi has placed on Xu Feng Brother desk.

Then Er Xi snap a glance to my direction, frowning.

"I've got raspberry flavours." She say.

"You, Er Xi. Don't offer me any of it!" Yi Lan barks before settling in one of the four chairs  that arranged around Xu Feng brother huge desk.

"Don't tell me you're on diet, again?" Xu Feng Brother grumbles.

"Yes, but this one's very good follow up," she declares happily.

But honestly, the girl is waft to the point of disappearing and on a different diet every week.

I take a seat next to her, and Fu Heng joins us as Er Xi hands out a spread sheet of clients invoice statuses before pouring the tea and settling down.

I scan the list of invoices with all marked as "Paid" or "Not due" and run my finger across the page when I come across the highlighted "Overdue" section.

There's one client in the column and it's just one.

What is the hell going on?

I inwardly cringe. Any hope I had of evading any reference to The Old Feng Mansion and the billionaire President Feng Teng has just been spectacularly dashed on my brain.He hasn't paid his initial consultation fee. What's with his thinking?

I glance up to Xu Feng Brother and seeing he have running through the same list as me, along with others who both look up at me in unison with the same expression.

Oh dear,don't look at me.
