Chapter 108 - Leaves Granted for Two Weeks

They both left together the next day for the office. On way Xie Yuansheng kept holding her hand, which she didn't resist. He asked her, "Do you know you call me when you are drunk?"

Feng Xinying looked at him with a frown. "Do you mean I call you by names?"

"Mhmm hmm," he replied with a mischievous smile.

"What?" she asked shocked at the revelation.

"I won't tell you. I want you to remember that today and if you can't remember it's okay. I will keep that a secret till I go to my grave," he said as his smile widened.

Feng Xinying smacked him. "You can't go to your grave. You have sinned so much that you will have to stay on this earth to pay for all those sins!"

Xie Yuansheng laughed heartily. He kept teasing her all the way and she kept deflecting his jokes.

When they reached office, Xie Yuansheng wanted to hold her hand and walk in but she didn't allow. "Not until all of them know about our relationship," she said as she walked beside him. They took the elevator up along with some employees.

When Feng Xinying entered the office floor almost everyone out there stood up and clapped for her. She received a standing ovation. She was really surprised but then one of them said, "Because of you we had a wonderful day yesterday with our favorite star Wu Bosun and we even got half a day's holiday. Thank you so much Feng Xinying!"

Feng Xinying was really surprised. She pursed her lips and then she broke into a face splitting grin. She bowed in front of them to thank them. Xie Yuansheng was very proud of her at that moment. However, his happiness was short lived as soon as he remembered how Wu Bosun was trying to take her home when she was drunk. Quietly, he went to his office and everyone resumed their work.

As soon as Feng Xinying booted her computer, she saw many emails waiting for her. One of them was from Yun Chen stating that she won't be able to attend the office as she had a ligament injury in her ankle. She had availed her health leaves.

Yet another one of them was from Lim Fei Yen, who had to go to the dentist for a cracked tooth.

Feng Xinying smiled after reading the two emails and wrote back, "Leaves granted for two weeks." She was happy that she wouldn't have to face the two pesky females for the next two weeks. If they tried to show their face in the office, she would just tell the guards not to let them enter the office premises.

Xie Yuansheng had several back-to-back meetings that day in which Feng Xinying was running in and out with him in the meeting rooms. Later during lunch, Feng Xinying went to the office cafeteria while Xie Yuansheng had to attend it with some business delegates. He asked Feng Xinying to accompany him but she refused.

In the cafeteria, she met Guo Junxu who was extremely ecstatic to see her. "Feng Xinying, thank you for helping me out that day. I proposed my girlfriend and she was extremely joyous."

Feng Xinying remembered that day when she had chosen the ring for him and Xie Yuansheng had become drunk as hell. She was reminded of the gunshot she had fired and her face became dark.

"What happened?" asked Guo Junxo.

"Oh! Nothing!" she replied. Then she added after a pause, "Many congratulations Guo Junxo. When is the wedding?"

There was a huge grin on his face. "We are planning to have a wedding on a beachside and so both of us are saving money for the same."

Feng Xinying smiled softly and said, "That's a great idea. Wish you all the best."

Together they talked about other things over lunch and then went to their offices. Xie Yuansheng hadn't come by then, so Feng Xinying became engrossed in charting out the details for the advertisement. She contacted people in the advertising industry who would be able to work with Wu Bosun and finalized on the one who was an upcoming talent instead of the one who was established. The dates and everything were settled within an hour of finalizing the agency. The agency was very professional and offered them an excellent deal for a little less price.

Feng Xinying informed Wu Bosun's secretary about the dates.

"We have reserved the dates for him for the next week. Is that okay?" she asked.

"Yes, that is okay Miss Xinying. However, we have a small request from you and we hope you can fulfill that," said the secretary.

"Sure, please tell me," she replied.

"Wu Bosun wants his sister to debut in advertisement. Basically he is helping her out. So will it be possible for you to give her a small slot?" he asked as if it wasn't a request. It sounded more like an order.

According to whatever she had heard, Wu Bosun never had a sister. So she was surprised. But she didn't say anything about that. "Okay… is it possible that we meet his sister?" she wanted to see her at least.

"Of course. I will send her to meet you tomorrow," he replied.

"However, there is one thing," said Feng Xinying sounding steely. "We will not pay her."

The secretary said, "Okay, agreed."

Feng Xinying disconnected the call and called the legal team. She asked them to add the name of Wu Bosun's sister to work in the advertisement but for no extra cost to the company.

Xie Yuansheng came much later at around 5PM to the office. He called Feng Xinying to his room and asked her to fetch him a cup of coffee.

As soon as Feng Xinying kept the coffee on his table, he pulled her and made her sit in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and dipped his face in her neck. For a moment there was silence and then he said, "I have an urgent business trip that has come up today. I will be going for three days…"
