Inside the closet, I picked a white bishop sleeved shirt, pink wrap-around knee length straight skirt and a sleeveless knee length coat and wore black wedged shoes with a matching black bag.
By the time I was pumped and all dressed up, MoJinsheng had long gone.
"Miss Li, young master said he will await your arrival at the office." Announced butler Chan.
I stumped out of the house. At the entrance butler Ma was already waiting.
"Young miss"
"Butler Ma" we exchanged greetings.
He opened the back door, I sat in and e closed the door.
In twenty minutes, we were already driving into the towering Mo Corporation. As far as I could remember, I had never visited this place before but a strange sense of familiarity assaulted me the moment I stepped out of the car.
Comforting myself that the memory loss might soon be recovered, I followed my instincts. I walked past the securityman at the door who bowed in greetings, past the reception where I wide- eyed middle aged receptionist was seated, her mouth agap and right into the elevator that only Mo Jinsheng and elders of the Mo family used.
My luck ran out as Mo Jinsheng's secretary rudely stopped me.
"Miss Li, you can't enter." Said the young fair average height lady. She was so professionally sexy that one can only grumble but not nitpick on her.
"I'm here to see the president."
"Yes, I know but you cannot go in without prior notice."
"Prior notice from who?" Whenever I am in a professional setting, my laid-back attitude disappears.
"I'm sorry ma" she sounded disgruntled but she had tempered her rudeness. The change in attitude most have caught her off guard.I could read all her expressions and body language. I saw shock, bewilderment and fear which quickly changed to a snare and scoff. The former me most have been bullied here. Li Chaihong being bullied? I
Smirked.
The more I neared her was the more she stepped back. Gearing my aura, I closed in on her. By now she was almost shivering. Then I retracted all my aura at once( a trick my grandfather taught me). She stumbled. Her back hitting the desk. That was punishment enough.
"The Miss Li that might have been bullied and this Miss Li right now are quite different. Get used to it" I moved a metre away from her.
"I want to see Mo Jinsheng right now and no one can stop me."
"I insist that you cannot see him now" she was still adamant.
I smile knowingly. She must have a backbone to be able to hold her ground until now. What could that be?
I went straight for the door and pushed it open. BAM
Mo Jinsheng looked up from the files he was working on. There was a woman sitting at desk, her back to me. She turned.
"Jin Shishi!" I was not too surprised.
"Master Mo, I tried to stop her from entering but.."
"Why?" The man's eyes had turned colder, they could freeze.
"I have to work" I replied.
"Did I ask you?"
If not me then who will answer the why?
Jin Shishi looked from Mo Jinsheng to me and then to the secretary.
"Why?" he repeated.
The secretary was also perplexed. With the increasing chill in the room, she knew exactly what trouble she had caused.
"Sir, I was wrong"
"How" he asked
"I shouldn't have stopped Miss Li" she cowered.
"No" he got up, turned an L from his desk to the sofa and sat down.
"Know your master and his orders"
A sense of realisation downed on her. She was really wrong.
"Yes. I should not have taken orders from Miss Jin" she sighed
Jin Shishi gave the orders but she should not have known that I will be here today.
"Grandma instructed the staff to behave" he was on cue. Did he read my thoughts?
"Mrs. Pei. Resume at the reception as from tomorrow." There goes the decree.
"Yes Master Mo" she bowed and turned to leave.
"Is that all?"
Was there more? I wondered.
"Miss Li... I mean Mrs.Mo, I'm sorry."
Mo Jinsheng had handled it well. I will be petty if I made things hard for her.
"It's my first day. I'll be lenient." Taking a step is a way to take two steps forward later.
The secretary excused herself.
I sat down right aside Mo Jinsheng. We can't be afar Infront of outsiders.
"Jinsheng, I didn't know Miss Li was coming. I just wanted alone time with..."
"Don't make me laugh Miss Jin. Having alone time with my husband is one thing but expressing it here right now is called shamelessness."
"Miss Li don't misunderstand. This is just how Jinsheng and I are."
"It is Miss Jin that misunderstands. I am Mrs.Mo not Miss Li. Unlike Miss Jin who is single, I am married."
"I... I... I"
"Sorry?.... I know."
She must have choked or something but she was coughing and Mo Jinsheng was already by her side with paper and all. He pressed the land phone and a voice quickly responded from the other end.
"Master"
"A'Li come take Shishi home"
Dududu...
Although Mo Jinsheng still looked as cold as usual, there was worry in his eyes.
Shishi..... I'll let her be for now
