Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 186 - Sudden change in the schedule.

Soon Li Xue was all ready to leave for Feng Internationals with the report file. The car was already outside, eagerly waiting to take the innocent Kalon to the Devil's den. Since she had already decided, she did not think anymore. She would better put her hopes in chances where she would not be encountering Mr Beelzebub on her way.

While passing through the corridor, she was about to reach the car when suddenly a voice halted her in her steps. "Don't overexcite yourself with this opportunity, Chef Li! This chance has only fallen in your lap because I am in such condition or else there would be no way in which you have been given such great opportunity".

Hearing those words, Li Xue turned to face the woman who thought that she was a desperate one for this chance. "Ahh, Chef Ning! How are you now? I heard that you have got a really bad sprain in your ankle. How is it now?" She asked, ignoring all the words she has heard before.

Ning Meiling's jaws got a little clenched when she saw Li Xue ignoring her previous words blatantly. She was already cursing her luck for again taking away such a good opportunity from her hands. She was so excited to get a chance to visit the Big Boss today and yet she has redeemed herself to such a condition now, where she was standing on her foot with the support of the interns under her.

Last time when she was chosen for preparing the lunch banquet for European clients, she was so happy thinking that at least she would have a chance to showcase the potential to the man she has always dreamt of but suddenly when she was asked to go to some other city to inspect the branches. She had no idea about the reason behind it. And later she came to know that it was Li Xue, who was called in her place.

She so regretted it. If she had been the one presenting the desserts at that banquet, then all the praises and popularity Li Xue was having now would have been hers. The arrogance, this woman was carrying in front of her now would have never existed in the first place. She thought in her heart.

"Did you see, Chef Ning? How arrogant she is in front of you? She was, all the same, the other day too but you didn't believe us. Now see yourself", He Ling said, piercing her eyes at Li Xue.

"Arrogant? Did the dictionary replace the word 'politeness' with the word 'arrogance'? How come I have not heard anything like that yet. Chef Ning I must say, your interns really have got a good grip on the news sections. You surely must be getting the news of the events even before their happening", Li Xue said all nonchalantly as her eyes went to gaze back at the car that was all ready for her.

"Ohh I think Chef Ning that I should leave now or it would only dampen your reputation. After all, I am not going there for myself rather because you are in such a state. That can also mean I am just going there as your representative. Okay, then I will make my move now!" Li Xue said. Her words were simple and clear enough to let the three women understand the right meaning behind.

Taking her steps towards the exit, she did not bother to turn back to glance at the three because there was nothing left for them to hear neither she had anything else to say. Getting inside the car she soon left for the Feng Internationals, leaving the people behind her all wordless and tongue-tied.

Soon Li Xue's car drove into the parking lot of the skyscr.a.p.er. This was definitely not her first time coming here, nor she has been here countless times, but for some reasons, she couldn't count the times she has been here. As she saw a particular corner of the parking lot, her lips curled up into a pleasant smile.

Her smile was not something surprising rather it has come out of the sudden remembrance of the memory she has shared with Mr Beelzebub at this place. The way he had helped her put the facemask on her face so that the concern of people noticing her can get lessen. His thoughtfulness at that moment was something that has touched her heart.

"Okay, you can wait here. I will be back after finishing my work inside the building. Thanks for driving me here", Li Xue said all politely to the driver as she made her way inside the building. A part of her wanted to go and surprise Mr Beelzebub, more like her heart wanted to just go and meet him once. But she knew well even though it was easy for her, still it was not easy for her heart to hold back the aftermath.

Debating her heart, she soon reached the reception desk of the building. This time it was a little new to her as she has to verify the appointment before entering. "Good morning Ma'am! How may I help you", one of the receptionists who has just finished her call asked, being all professional and polite in her words and attitude.

Li Xue too reciprocated her polite smile with hers before pulling out her employee identity card from her purse. "Here, I am the Dessert Chef from Sweet Delicacy. We have an appointment fixed with Ms Lin. Can you please check it once for me?"

The receptionist smiled and nodded, agreeing "Sure Mam! Please give me a moment, I will check it for you". After some moments, the receptionists said with a slightly guilty expression on her face. "Yes Ma'am, you do have an appointment with Ms Lin but right now she is busy in a group meeting. I am sorry, you will have to wait here".

"Meeting? Was that scheduled from before?" Li Xue was a little surprised with the sudden change in the schedule. Wasn't their meeting fixed from the time ahead? How come Ms Lin has suddenly busied herself with some meeting? And that too even after knowing her punctual arrival. She thought, looking at her watch.

"Umm … I apologize Ma'am but I can't give you these details. It's against our company's policies. I can only request you to wait there patiently. Please Ma'am!" the receptionist replied gently, gesturing to her to take the seat at the side.

"Mmm … okay thanks for your help. Please let me know once she gets free", Li Xue said and then walked to take a seat at the waiting area. Her eyes wandered to look around the beautiful décor of the place. The designs can leave anyone awestruck for a second. The place was working all cordially, with few people coming and going out of the building occasionally as expected of a disciplined company, going strict according to the rules and regulations.

Slowly and slowly time passed and she soon became all bored sitting at a place. She was looking around everywhere and was about to find someone known to her entering through the other entrance gate but her impatience got her worse. Before she could even see the lady entering, she stood up and walked to the desk once again to enquire about the delay.
