A Billion Dollar Exchange

As Liling stepped into the study, she saw Liu Wei busy with his computer. He was very focused with what he was doing and didn't notice when she came in.

Liling walked calmly to his side and placed the coffee on an empty space by the table.

It was when the aroma of the coffee drifted into his nostrils that Liu Wei looked up to see Liling standing beside him.

"Your coffee, Mr Liu Wei. "

She pointed at the coffee she just kept and Liu Wei replied her with a slight nod and continued typing on the computer.

Liling who had waited for Liu Wei's command but didn't get any turned to leave.

"Where are you going? "

She froze when she heard him.

What was she to do again?, she had a training the next day, was he going to tell her to sit and wait till he was through?

"Uh..., I want to sleep, I have a vocal training tomorrow.. "

She intentionally emphasized on her appointment the next day, so in case he wanted to tell her to stay, he would have a change of mind.

"Sit"

" "

Her eyes widened in surprise, was it that he didn't hear what she just said or he was just heartless?

One thing Liling liked was food, the second was sleep. She didn't play with these two things. She had been trying her best to live up to his expectations but if she didn't sleep early that night, she was really going to be late for her training the next day.

Liling stood there staring daggers at Liu Wei who hadn't even shifted his eyes from the screen of the computer ever since.

Seeing that he wasn't going to say anything, she grudgingly accepted her fate and walked to a sofa and sat down.

"When are you going to be through tomorrow?"

Liu Wei asked after sometime, still busy with whatever he was doing.

"Four pm.."

She replied abruptly. She was really sad but did well to conceal it.

It was not as though she was doing anything special for him, he just wanted to annoy her.

Maybe...maybe, He wants to teach her a lesson for what she did back then in America!.

Thinking about everything recently, it seems he was still angry about that night in America. Liling bit her lower lip as she watched Liu Wei tap on the keyboard expertly.

Now she thought about it, how would she just jump into conclusions that he liked her, what was she even thinking?

Liling stared at Liu Wei's features and shook her head at her foolishness.

He must have thought her to be very stupid that night, who was she in comparison to him?

How would she just rant something like that when he had just wanted to help her?

Was she so carried away by her hate for men that she couldn't even discern something that was just done purely out of sympathy?

To talk of him liking her, haha, that was too expensive for a joke!

There were models and celebrities who would give anything to be with him, she was a nobody, so how could she be so stupid!

Thinking about it, Mr Liu Wei was really a good person. He had helped her unconditionally without even asking for a thing!

Though he was cold and aloof, he really had a kind heart which was extremely rare these days.

"Mr Liu Wei.. "

Liu Wei who heard a soft voice call his name, didn't respond immediately, he waited for some seconds before answering with an aloof 'yes' .

Liling paused for a while and took in a deep breath.

"I'm sorry for that night, back in America.. "

Liu Wei's body stiffened up when he heard what she just said. He paused for a while but immediately continued typing again.

"It was very stupid of me to talk that way and jump into conclusions without thinking. I'm very sorry, Mr Liu Wei, please do accept my apologies."

Why was she apologizing all of a sudden?

He had just wanted her to keep him company, was she thinking he was angry about that night?

Random thoughts ran through his mind as he flipped to the next page of the document in front of him.

Liling stared at Liu Wei, he hadn't said anything and she couldn't discern what he was thinking because his face was as stoic as ever.

"Apology accepted. "

Liu Wei finally responded. Thinking about it, he figured that maybe she would be a little free with him if he acted as though he didn't like her.

He was glad that she had misunderstood his intentions, at least everything wouldn't be awkward anymore.

Since it was what she wanted, then he'll do it her way.

"Thank you Mr Liu Wei, can I go now.."

Liling smiled as she put her hands together as a sign of gratefulness. But the response she got shocked her.

"No!, I need you to read through this document for errors, I've reviewed it but I need another person to go through it."

Liling was blatantly shocked. So that was what he had called her for, to act as a secretary!

"Mr Liu Wei, I'm a maid not a P.A!"

She sulked as she looked at the document on her hands which was filled with the tiniest letters she had ever seen in a book.
