A Billion Dollar Exchange

Liling didn't turn to look back when she heard the door open. She just kept on looking towards the window and the sun which was about to set.

After sometime, when she didn't hear any sound from the visitor, she inquisitively turned to know who came in.

Liling sat upright immediately seeing that it was Liu Wei. She was surprised to see him in her room.

"Mr Liu Wei, I'm really really sorry for what happened earlier, I didn't mean... "

"I know, you don't have to explain "

" "

Liling was surprised that he wasn't angry with her and not only it, he didn't need her explanation. That means...

"Am I being sacked? "

She asked anxiously, her eyes widened in shock.

"Do you have your ten million yuan ready? "

"No.!"

"Then you are not leaving. "

Liling chuckled which made Liu Wei laugh too.

She felt like asking him if he was really getting married soon but changed her mind. It was too personal, and she was just a maid.

.....

The first change Liling noticed the next day at X Entertainment Industry was the absence of Coffee machines in the premises.

The most eye catching coffee machine was the one you would see as soon as you enter the main lobby. Surprisingly, it was no longer there.

Monday practice went on perfectly, she flowed with the rest of the trainees as though she hadn't missed any sessions.

After the day's training, Xin Yong held Liling's hand as they walked out of the gates together.

"Did you notice something today? "

Xin Yong asked, a smile on her cheeks.

"What? "

"Wait, are you trying to tell me you didn't notice there was no coffee machines in the premises? and the boldly written

"NO DRINKING OF COFFEES IN THE WALKWAYS!"

Xin Yong used her both hands to describe how boldly written the words were.

"Really?, I only noticed that the coffee machine in the lobby was missing but I didn't think much about it. "

"So..."

Xin Yong smiled as she moved her brows continually.

"So?? "

Liling asked surprised by her actions.

"Aren't you smelling something fishy? "

"Something fishy?? "

Liling asked still oblivious of what her friend was insinuating.

"Liling, sometimes I wonder whether you left your First Class brain back in Gahll's graduation ceremony.

Anyways, don't you think that Liu Wei may have a hand in this? Come on, why would the industry remove all coffee machines along the walkways, isn't it obviously to stop people like Richen who go about pouring hot coffee on you? haha."

Xin Yong finally explained to the puzzled Liling. Liling frowned lightly as she watched her.

"So what are you trying to say? "

"Liling!, what I'm trying to say is that he did it for you!, can't you see?? "

"Xin Yong!!, how can you be so sure?. Besides, can't an industry make new rules?"

"Liling, why aren't you seeing the clear picture. The handwriting on the wall is extremely legible. Liu Wei likes you, he likes you!"

"He doesn't like me, he has a fiancée"

" "

Xin Yong who was smiling before suddenly paled. She turned to look at her friend's sad face with extreme surprise.

"It's not true.."

"Ha, very true, his dad brought her over yesterday to the house, she's very very pretty. "

Liling explained to her friend. She sounded a bit jealous.

"You must be kidding me!!. Jin Yue said he likes you, or am I not correct? didn't I hear properly that day?"

"You heard wrong, I think they'll be getting married by the end of the year or so I heard. "

Xin Yong who had been overwhelmed by the shocking news suddenly turned to look at her friend's expression.

"But why are you sounding like that? I thought you said you didn't like him, so why the sad face? "

Liling touched her face immediately.

"Me? Sad face?. What's sad about my face?. "

"You are even acting funny, as though you don't want him getting married anytime soon."
