Chapter 139 - Meeting Her
**********
CHAPTER 139
In no time at all. Li Jing was already in front of Ye Cheng's office. She heaved a deep sigh before opening door and walked in.
Hearing a knock on the door, Ye Cheng adjusted himself on his seat and cleared his throat to signify Jack of the incoming guest.
Jack as well sat up straight, his eyes blazed with anticipation at what was going to happen.
Soon a young lady stepped into the office and closed the door. Jack still had his back to her but his eyes half-lidded, blinked in anticipation.
From the corners of Ye Cheng's eyes, he could see his friend's actions and smirked within him. His gaze trailed off you the person closing the door and his expression changed into one so calm and cold.
"Good morning. You sent for me." She chanted her usual words, her eyes shining with glee at him.
Jake who had been anticipating to hear her voice, sucked in a deep breath the moment the sweet sound was brought into his ears.
Truly unique, he thought and let his eyes flutter open to look at his friend.
Boy was Ye Cheng enjoying, having such a beautiful woman accompany him. Tsk, what a lucky guy. Those were the thoughts that ran through Jack's mind at that moment.
"Yes, I did. Good morning. Come in." he watched her take elegant steps towards him and came to stand close to his table, her eyes not leaving his as she did.
If there was anything, he noticed that her eyes blinked in confusion a bit but as to why he just wasn't sure about that.
Li Jing on the other hand was hoping to see his cheerful side according to what Han Qing Qing had told her but what she met were the same cold and stoic expression.
She left out a deep sigh in her mind at the thought and just did as she was told.
"Please, have a seat." His instruction came out a bit more relaxed than his usual commanding tone and she began to wonder what was going on.
Up till that moment, she had not bothered looking at the person by her side until he asked her to take a seat that she shifted her gaze and went to sit at the chair to his side and mouthed her greetings.
Rather than speaking a swell, Jack nodded at her in response. His eyes never left her as he analyzed her like he was analyzing a specimen.
When she was standing he had been checking her out from the corners of his eyes and could see just how much of a beauty she was.
'If Ye Cheng would not go for her, then I can freely make a move.' Yi Wang Lei thought.
Honestly speaking, he knew his friend liked her but was too stubborn to admit it. This may be due to the fact that he was still coming out of a heart break but then again, if he asked him some other time and he still gives the same answer, then why not?
When she was fully seated, Ye Cheng cleared his thought, drawing all of their attention back to him and placing both hands on his desk.
"Li Jing I called you here to introduce you to this company's new vice president. He would be the second in charge of things around here."
"Oh, alright. That is nice."
"Yes. When I am away, he would take charge of the company. His name is Yi Wang Lei. Wang Lei, meet Li Jing, Dream Star's Financial Manager." Ye Cheng introduced them to each other and then relaxed back into his seat.
Yi Wang Lei did not waste any more time and turned to his side to look at her. "Hello Li Jing, you can call me Jack. I am so much used to friends and acquaintances calling me that. I hope we can be friends."
He extended his hand forward for a shake and Li Jing accepted it, shaking him lightly. "Nice to meet you, Jack."
"My manners, it is a pleasure making your acquaintance."
She withdrew her hands and he let out a soft whimper in a whisper at the lost of contact. He could have very much enjoyed holding her hands all day if he had the opportunity but Ye Cheng would definitely not allow it.
He returned his gaze to his friend only for his eyes to be met with dangerous blazed ones, causing him to shiver in his seat.
There was already a danger sign there and he knew better than to mess around.
"So if you have problems and I am unavailable, he can be of help. "
"Duly noted." Her way of speaking and mannerism was so professional and not the same worried and free type he knew and liked.
That was when he realized that he was the one throwing her off in that manner and he relaxed his expression as well, managing a small smile to form on his lips.
"Sorry for not checking up on you for some time now." Ye Cheng apologized out of the blue. Yi Wang Lei who was least expecting that had his eyes open wide for a second before pretending that he did not hear a single word.
"It is okay. I am fine as you can see. I should also apologize for not doing the same."
"No worries. He kept me busy all weekend." Ye Cheng pointed at the culprit, earning a smile in return.
"Oh, I see." She shot a questioning gaze at Yi Wang Lei before smiling at Ye Cheng.
"Yeah."
"Okay, since you are okay and all. I am guessing you would be having lots of work to do. SO I would take my leave and get back to mine."
"Oh." There was a trace of disappointment in his eyes and voice and that did not go unnoticed to his friend.
"Yes."
"If that is the case, then you are free to. Oh, and I would be meeting with Mr Kang during the week and you would have to be in the meeting."
"When?"
"Han Qing Qing would relay those to you when she has everything set."
"Okay. Got it." She stood up, ready to take her leave when his voice made her halt.
"Oh and..."
