'Jiang Shu?' Ying Yue confusedly glanced at the woman who was in a flair red dress. 

Jiang Shu was the same woman she had encountered in the shopping mall. Although Li Shen did not admit it but she thought that something was going on between the two.

In fact, she almost did not recognize the woman because of how dolled up she was than her casual look last time.

"You… Are you an employee?" Jiang Shu glanced at her with a weird gaze. 

Ying Yue was wearing a short red dress and her face was covered with her scarf and shades. Even though she asked that, Jiang Shu believed that this woman was not an employee.

Why would an employee hide her face in the company? Ying Yue rolled her eyes at the woman, "No." She replied in a soft voice.

"Oh? Then what are you doing here?" Jiang Shu frowned. There was something familiar about this woman which she couldn't pinpoint.

"I was here to meet the CEO. Rumors said that he was one of the most eligible bachelors so just dropped by to check it. Aye~ Rumors do not do justice to this man. He is more than what people say," She leaned closer to Jiang Shu as she murmured in a seductive voice, "A very desirable man indeed."

Jiang Shu was stunned. Her eyes widened as she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. This woman was so brazen!

"Excuse me, gotta go," Ying Yue waved at the woman before walking inside the private elevator.

Jiang Shu glanced at the woman strangely. 'Is she a fool? That elevator can only be used by the CEO, President, or the Chairman.' She thought to herself.

And just as she thought so, the lift attendant indeed blocked her path, "Miss, this elevator is supposed to be used by the higher-ups."

Ying Yue paused. She once again forgot that this is not Ash Corps where there are no lift attendants since her best friend prefers privacy.

Jiang Shu couldn't help but shake her head at the woman's stupidity. Just as she was about to turn around, she noticed that the woman was searching for something inside her bag. Curiosity got the best of her and she stayed back to see what was she up to.

Ying Yue looked inside the bag, unable to find the access card that Mo Zihan had given her.

Jiang Shu could not take it anymore. She walked towards Ying Yue before opening her mouth, "You could take another elevator. It's a few steps ahead from here. You…" Whatever she was saying got stuck in her mouth as Ying Yue flashed the exclusive access card in front of the lift attendant who immediately bowed in respect.

She turned around to glance at Jiang Shu. What was she doing here? She thought that this woman has already left.

Ying Yue gave her a polite nod before entering the private elevator, leaving Jiang Shu dazed.

As soon as the elevator door closed, Ying Yue was suddenly reminded of something. Earlier when Mo Zihan was carrying her, she overheard his Secretary talking to Mo Zihan about some 'Director Jiang'.

And Mo Zihan had addressed the woman as 'that brat'. She had not paid attention to it back then but now that she thought about it, maybe they were talking about Jiang Shu.

Ying Yue sighed helplessly. She enjoyed the expressions on her face which is why she even teased the woman. She didn't just cause any problems for her boyfriend, or did she? 

She decided to ask him about it later.

A notification sound resounded and she snapped out of her daze. She glanced at the text on her phone and the light in her eyes dimmed a little.

Back inside Mo Zihan's office.

"Zihan Ge," Jiang Shu entered inside without bothering to knock.

Mo Zihan whose head was currently buried under a heap of piles furrowed his brows, "Can't you knock before entering inside?" He glared at the woman.

Jiang Shu was taken aback, "Why are you reprimanding me like this? I… Since when do I need to follow these formalities around you?"

Mo Zihan pinched the space in between his brows. He was quite frustrated that he could not spend more time with Ying Yue when they just got together. How he wished he could give all his time to her. Even if they did nothing and just cuddled under the blanket, he would be contented.

As he looked at Jiang Shu, he frowned. It was quite rude of him to vent his irritation on her.

Looking at her emotional face, he could not help but snicker, "Since when have you become so sentimental you brat?"

The woman pursed her lips, "Neither were you so rude before."

"Alright, take a seat. Why did you want to meet me? Is there any problem?"

Jiang Shu shook her head, "Can't I meet you without any reason? It was so rare to see you in the past few years. I rarely saw you at balls and parties but I could not find a proper chance to approach you. Ever since you joined Ash Corps, you were almost out of reach. Although the public did not know it but I got to know from our friend circle that you have become the V.P of Ash Corps. This time, there were rumors that President Su's son will be stepping in as the Acting CEO in her absence. Since President Mo has Mo Empires to look after, I guessed it was you. But then, I did not dare to believe it until now, when I am seeing you right in front of me," she helplessly said.

"Mm. Mother is not well so, I had to take over her positions," Mo Zihan nodded, "So, why are you here today again? Is there anything you want?"

"Hey, is this the way you behave with your childhood sweetheart?" Jiang Shu was more than shocked by Mo Zihan's attitude. When they were kids, he would always protect her from bullies and he was her best friend. Then, why was he estranged all of a sudden?

Earlier, she would have thought that it was because of the workload but after meeting that mysterious woman, she felt somewhat insecure. That woman even had an exclusive access card, was she someone special to Mo Zihan?
