Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 187 - Letting her wait here could bring destruction.

Time passed by, but no call came for her. Getting a little bored, she pulled her hands up to check the time. It has already been almost one hour since she arrived. This was getting a little too much. The delay would have been agreeable if there hasn't been any appointment fixed or if she would have been late in arriving.

But being all innocent on her side she just can't take the arrogance of the people around. She was already feeling a hard thumping of her heart thinking that Mr Beelzebub was not too far away from her, just a few floors above. Standing up, she walked back to the reception desk to inquire about the delay.

"Ms Lin … is she still busy with the same meeting? How long will it take more?" Li Xue asked once again. The receptionist had no answer. Quickly fiddling through the keyboard keys, she checked and said, "Sorry Ma'am! The meeting has already got over 15 minutes before but Ms Lin has still kept her time slot on 'do not disturb' mode. I will let you know once she gets free".

Li Xue could not believe this. What does she call this type of behaviour? Was she here to give an interview for which she has to wait for the call of the interviewer? This was something she was not expecting from an official of such responsible and high position. If she had known the woman before, she would have said that might be … just might be, Ms Lin was taking advantage of her position to look down at her.

Little did she know that her assumption about the lady official has not been wrong. Ms Lin has been friends with Ning Meiling for quite some time now. Earlier when Li Xue had left the shop saying her words to Chef Ning, she was offended. To teach her a lesson, she has called her friend for help, and here the things have taken the shape like this.

Nodding to the receptionist, Li Xue turned around, pulling her phone out to make the call to her Executive Director Chief, Huo Rong. As the call got connected she started, "Director Chief, sorry for bothering you but Ms Lin seems to be busy. Is it necessary to submit this report to her today?"

"Busy? We already had an appointment with her. Things have never gone this way and we have always submitted out reports on time", the old director said from the other side, guiltiness and a little disappointment laced in his voice. Pausing for a second, he added, "Okay, wait for little more, in the meantime I will call her to ask about the issue".

He said and disconnected the call. When Li Xue was busy on her call, she did not notice the man coming and standing beside her. The moment she turned to look, she was taken aback with little horror as she had not expected anyone around her like this.

"Ahh! Sis … Xiao Xue, you are here? Why don't you give me a call to me before" It was none other than Qi Shuai. He was on his way out with some people behind him, when he spotted her on the call. Intending not to interrupt her call, he came and stood beside her, waiting for her to get free.

Patting her chest lightly to calm herself a little, Li Xue greeted all politely, not forgetting that she was now on her work hours and also inside the premises of Feng Internationals. "Director Qi! I was just here to submit this report, so I didn't think it was right to disturb you."

"Report?" he asked, confused, taking the file from her hand. "Oh, this monthly report? Ms Lin is responsible for all this. Did you not meet her?" he asked.

Li Xue shook her head as she said, "No, I haven't yet. I have been waiting here for almost one hour now but it seems like Ms Lin has been very busy today. So I will need to wait a little more. Please don't bother yourself with such trivial things. You also seem to be busy. You can proceed, I am all comfortable waiting here".

Letting her wait here? Did she want this building to collapse?

At the same time, on the second top floor of Feng Internationals,

"Hey, have you seen the New Project file? I have just left it here and went to get these printouts but now I am not able to find it here"

"Ahh, that … Mr Ji had come earlier and taken that file with him. He said that he wanted to add some more points to it. He will return it soon."

"Soon? I don't think we had that time in hand now. I have to send it fast to President Feng's office. He wants it now!"

"That will be bad. Why not ask Secretary Gao to buy you some time?"

"Do you really think I can afford that at this time? Haven't you seen President Feng entering the building? Today he is in the mood to slaughter. The person who has a death wish will only risk themselves by trying their chance now. I will just quicken the things on my end and you too, don't forget that panic has not only stricken me, rather it is in the air today".

Every employee on the top floor was in a rush. The air was filled with the heavy and panicked breaths of people rushing here and there. Though there was no deadline near, still the environment of this extra well-organized office was held today was no less.

This office of extra specialized secretaries has always been like this. They never followed the weather forecast that news channels broadcasted at the starting of the day rather waited to go according to different moods their President Feng was holding up that day.

"Do you think there will be any casualties today?" someone asked, the voice coming out with a slight shiver of fear in it.

"We can't say that yet. Let's wait and see", another one answered.

Just as they were talking among themselves making assumptions, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor was heard from the opposite distance. From the direction that would lead the people to upstairs to the President's office directly. "Ah, finally lady Boss is here. Maybe now things will get under control!"

"Lady Boss! Are you sure? She is the one"

"Of course, she must be the one. Didn't you remember last time all the preparations that have been made here for her arrival? She must be here to save us, knowing that the President is in the bad mood. Or why do you think that she would be here?"

"But hasn't there been a story saying that during lunch the President has brought someone else, calling his girlfriend and fiancée. Ms Ryan was just sidelined at that moment"

"Oh, what do you know. We should never believe the rumours. Believe what you see with your eyes and what you hear with your ears. And as far as we know, it has always been Ms Ryan in the story. No woman has never been allowed to cross such near distance to President Feng"

The man said with the utmost confidence in his words. And the others nodded to his words.
