A Billion Dollar Exchange-Chapter 21: It was Liling

She shot him a final glare and walked past him. Wang Feng shuddered in fear, he hadn't expected the cute looking face to have that fiery side. He stepped back at once and gave way for her to leave. He watched as she departed and felt for his boss. He knew his boss came to Gahll because of her and now she was just few steps away from him, if only he came out of that god-forsaken car, he could have seen her.

Wang Feng shook his head and went back to the car, as he approached, Liu Wei suddenly stepped out with an anxious expression.

"What took you so long?" He asked almost annoyed.

"I... "

"It's enough, I don't want to hear any explanations from you, just get in the car and drive!! " Liu Wei instructed as he got back into the car. Wang Feng stared at his boss, if only he knew what took him so long!

He drove out of Gahll and decided to tell Liu Wei again.

"Back then, it was.... "

"Are you dumb?, I said I don't want any explanations "

Liu Wei calmly cut him off, his tone contained a bit of warning though it seemed calm on the surface. It was obvious that he was a bit annoyed that Wang Feng had wasted his time.

'Won't he just let me speak? ' Wang Feng screamed in his heart but decided to keep quiet, maybe some other time he could tell him. But this obviously wasn't the right time.

Liu Wei's phone lit up, there was an incoming call. He stared at the phone for a while then answered the call.

"Jin Yue?" 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

"Bro, I'm back, care for a drink or two? " Jin Yue asked over the phone, he sounded lively. Liu Wei paused for a second but declined. He was feeling bad but didn't even know why. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

"Why?' Jin Yue asked somewhat sad, but after remembering that he had to send Eva to her parents' home, he finally agreed "Okay tommorow then, you should have sometime for yourself, all work and no play makes one very dull, by five in the evening" He quickly cut off the call.

When they arrived at the company, Liu Wei took big strides to the elevator, Wang Feng followed behind like a dutiful servant. As they approached the office, Wang Feng decided to tell Liu Wei again, this time straight to the point.

"It was Liling" Liu Wei hands that were about to push open the door stopped, he turned to look at Wang Feng who just called out Liling out of the blues.

Liu Wei had tried not to blame himself, he just wanted to overlook it and console himself that it was just a missed opportunity, that another one would come around. He didn't want to accept the fact that Liling was just there but he couldn't even see her. But what happened next broke down the walls he had been trying hard to build.

"Boss, I'm serious, I saw Liling, the one you told me to search about, she was very angry at me even though I apologized. Wow, I never believed she had such a fiery side, you needed to see the way she scolded me, I felt goose bumps... "

"Thirty-five percent deduction from your salary this month" Liu Wei's veins were almost popping out of his hands with the force he exerted as he held the file.

Wang Feng was stunned, 'was he talking to me, or did he read something out of that document?'

"Boss, were you... " Liu Wei had had enough, his face had turned red with anger, he lifted his eyes from the file, took in a deep breath and glared at Wang Feng
