CHAPTER 219

"I received a call from the office line. It was from Chairman Jiang. He wanted to speak to you but it turns out that your phone is switched off," Jinhai said.

Bai Renxiang averted her gaze from Jinhai to her phone lying on her desk. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed switched off when she pressed the power button.

"Sigh. I forgot to turn it on after I charged it. Thank you, Jinhai," she said.

"No problem, boss. If you will excuse me, I would leave you to your business now," he said.

"Yeah sure. You can go." Jinhai took a bow first before turning on his heels to leave the office. Just as he was about to open the door, Bai Renxiang\'s voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Ah! Wait," she quickly called him before he left.

"Yes, boss," he turned back.

"Come and have these. Please send it to the marketing and production department," she handed him a stack of papers.

"Got it," Jinhai said as he collected the stacks from Bai Renxiang and left.

"I would take my leave then. I just came to check up on you," Xia Xinyi said.

"Hmm. Thank you."

After everyone had left her office, Bai Renxiang let out the breath she had been holding in. The nervousness that was threatening to come out finally surfaced on her face.

As she searched for her grandfather\'s contact number on her phone, she stood up from her chair and let her legs carry her to the floor to ceiling window in the office.

In just a few rings, the call got connected and an elderly voice laced with tenderness and concern rang out from the phone into her ears.

"Hello, Bai Renxiang," old man Jiang said.

"Hello grandpa. How is your vacation going?" She asked. Bai Renxiang masked her nervousness in a caring and cheerful voice.

"My vacation is something that I never expected to be so so good. It has been a long went on a vacation. Probably since when my beloved left for heaven," he said and chuckled.

"Oh, grandpa. You really do miss grandma, huh?" She asked.

Bai Renxiang could hear a tinge of sadness or rather loneliness in his voice. He still carried the grief of losing his wife in his heart. Even at his old age. Sigh. True love never fades.

"Of course, I do. But, I am enjoying my vacation. It is relaxing. Charlie does not fail to give me a good back massage before I sleep. He prepares good meals and knows interesting places to visit, here in the Maldives," he rambled.

"Hahaha. That is great to hear. You deserve such wonderful treatment and peaceful life. But amid all these enjoyment, do not forget to bring souvenirs," she reminded him.

"Ohohoho! I can\'t forget about souvenirs. I already for them ready. I bought something for your mum and my great-grandson and then, you," he said.

"Yay! I love you, grandpa," she cheered in excitement, even forgetting about the nervousness she was hiding.

"Hmm. I love you too. So... How is the company going?"

GBAGHAN

The big question. Bai Renxiang\'s smile immediately dropped as she bit her lips. Her palms had begun to sweat and her heart had skipped several beats in fear.

"I-It... The company is doing well, grandpa. Nothing to worry about," she laughed nervously.

\'Stupid Bai Renxiang. Get your shit together,\' she mentally berated herself.

"Okay. That is wonderful. I am glad the company is in good hands and nothing wrong is happening. Remember to tell me or Charlie if anything goes wrong, okay?" Old man Jiang said.

"O-okay grandpa. I definitely will if something comes up," she assures him.

"Hmm. That is my girl. Alright, grandpa will hang up now. Rest when necessary and do not skip any meals. I love you," he cautioned her.

"I will grandpa. I love you. Bye." They ended the call.

"Phew! That went surprisingly well," she muttered. "I am sorry for lying to you grandpa."

After going through her schedules, Bai Renxiang decided to work overtime at the company. She, herself did not know the reason why. She just felt like staying.

At around six in the evening, her phone rang, breaking the silence of the office. She drop her pen and picked up her phone to see who it is.

\'LI FENGJIN\'

"Gasp. Why is he calling me? Did something happen again with the project?" She asked herself.

"Well, the only way to find out is by picking up that call," she said before hitting the receive button.

"Hey. Good evening, Bai Renxiang," Li Fengjin greeted.

"Good evening. Hi... Uhm, why did you call? Is something wrong with the project?" She asked.

"No. Nothing is wrong with the project," he answered.

"Oh! So why did you call?"

"Sigh. Why does it sound like you do not want to talk to me? Am I bothering you by any chance perhaps?" He asked in a slightly hurt voice.

*chuckle*

"Where did that come from?" She smiled.

"I don\'t know. You tell me. You have been questioning me since I said hello. So I thought I was being a bother. You know what? Let me just hang up now."

"Huh? Wait. Do not hang up," she quickly said.

This would be the second time something like this was happening. She sighed as she leaned back into her chair. Meanwhile, Li Fengjin was smiling triumphantly. He was happy she at least wanted to talk to him.

"Okay. I am not hanging up. What do you want?"

"Sigh. Stop being like that. I only asked why you called. I did not mean to sound as if you were bothering me or something," she explained.

"Really? You sounded mean to me," he sulked.

"Oh come on, Li Fengjin. I have already explained myself," she rolled her eyes.

"Not helping," he simply stated.

"Okay fine. I am sorry," she apologized.

"Accepted."

"So... What\'s up then?" She changed her approach.

"Can we have an informal meeting?"
