Chapter 279 - Was it jealousy?

After disconnecting the call, Lifen replayed the video again. This time looking at the video she didn't controlled her laughter this time. Terror wasn't the feeling she felt while watching him like this, rather find him too adorable. People would see the fire in his eyes which was eager to burn everyone but to her it was just the stubbornness of a child that was playing within his dark orbs. They might take him as someone who can ruin the life of the people in a flick of his wrist but she knew injustice wasn't his nature. At the end of the day he won't ever harm anyone purposely without their fault. Looking at the screen once more she patted on her own back to accolade herself. She was satisfied internally knowing that she too can make him irritated likes he does to her. Giving a satisfied smile to her phone's display screen, she said, "Now it's time to save the world from the destruction which is unconsciously caused by me". Knowing what to do next she dialed the devil's number. At the same time at Wang Corporation, All the senior staffs were gathered in the conference room. The projector was displaying the information and data related to the company. Someone has stood up explain it clearly to the people but was so tensed in the presence of the devil that none words were coming out his mouth. Even everyone can feel his body trembling but none dared to care about him. Their focus was deliberately restrained the screen that was showing the content. They didn't dared to shift on their places. Their muscles have already become still since they were sitting in this position for already two hours now. As they thought their minimum movement can attract the scary CEO's attention and next would be them answering the questions of the devil. It was much like the scene where the students were hiding away from their teacher who would ask them the toughest question, once they caught them. Deming's mood was already gloomy and seeing his employee unable to explain anything regarding the question he asked before, the temperature around him was dropping at a great speed. At this time there was a sudden interruption from behind. "Boss!" Everyone's eyes instantly moved in the direction of the woman who has come to their rescue. Qi Yuirong has earlier went out to fetch some files who has now returned. The employees thought she would have got some way to save them. They have seen her talking to the Chief Secretary Murphy before. Every eyes were beaming with hope to get out alive from this devil's hell but seeing the secretary's neutral expression, they were perplexed' Deming too turned to look at his secretary and gave out snarl of rage, "Who gave you the permission to interrupt the meeting?" His loud voice was enough to cause a heart attack but the secretary bravely stood rooted at her place. The other employees wanted to praise her high for her courage but at this moment they were themselves shaking like the leaves. Seeing his secretary still standing in front of him instead of walking away, he asked "What is it? Speak up" Extending her hands forward she said in a composed polite way, "CEO, your phone was ringing in your cabin. So I brought it here. It seems someone important as it is ringing for the second time now" Without giving the second glance at the phone, he simply ordered, "Put it on the speaker" "CEO, this is your personal cellphone…", Qi Yuirong never thought his boss will put the call on speaker at a moment like this. Was he thinking that it was some business partner calling him? And he is thinking of lashing him out in front of everyone? "Just do as you are told?"' he repeated again in a dangerously low voice which was clearly warning her. Shutting her eyes closed, the secretary did as she was asked. And in the next second a soft voice of a woman came through making every gasp in shock and astonishment – "Hello, Deming!" The expressions on the faces were drastically changing. The most visible expression on most of the face can be called 'dumbstruck'. They were exchanging the looks of bewilderment. The thing that shocked them the most was the relaxing furrowed brows of their boss. Though his expression was still poker in front of everyone, but air in the room felt much better. It was like the coldness was dissipating bringing back the normal temperature of the weather. Exactly, who was this woman? Not only she has the audacity to call their boss at his personal cellphone, but also the tone which she was used while calling him. She was calling the devil by his name as if she has done it all the times.  They even looked at the secretary to know to what exactly was going on, but she was in no mood to entertain their questioning eyes. The sudden soft voice has already done its work on the man. The Dark aura has already been gone but not his stubbornness. He gave a last glare to the people sitting in front him, forcing everyone to lower their eyes instantly. Turning back to his secretary, he childishly snatched his phone away and disabled the loudspeaker. His expression still remained the same when he brought the phone to his ears. "Calling after the world has already ended? What do you want? Won't you ignore me now?" Several ears were on high alert. But still they weren't able to believe their ears. Though their boss's seems to be angry but his voice didn't seem at all ferocious. It was more like he was soothing himself and the anger that was flaring inside him few seconds ago. "What? Aren't you going to explain it now?" he asked. His voice was laced with desperation and everyone can feel it. Seeing their boss like this, the people in the meeting room were like they have discovered a new world suddenly. They never know that their boss was actually capable to such patience. They have always seen him taking everything he wanted without waiting for another second but now they are witnessing him talking so gently and patiently with a woman. They were happy and emotional at the same time. They were relieved since they have seen devil's anger disappearing. They thought they were saved but suddenly a loud growl brought everyone back to the ground from the heaven. "You better not, girl. I am really not that good with my temper", and the next was the phone getting thrashed on the ground making everyone jump in horror. Rage was again flaring in the depths of his eyes, but there was something else too that no one can carelessly point. It was 'jealousy'.
