AS SOON AS FENG MIAN left her car and into the main building, she was welcomed by the sight of Thea Mae.

"Feng Mian, ah! Why did you come so early? C-couldn't you have called me first...?" Thea Mae was still bewildered as Feng Mian was able to get through the pensive wall of reporters outside. 

She had wanted to stall for time before her father becomes available, so Feng Mian will have come for naught. Alas, they had failed and Feng Mian came just in time when her father was just finished with his morning meeting.

Feng Mian gave a curt bow to Thea Mae, a slight smile on her lips. "How can I let the father of such a fine lady such as you... late? I hope you've had a very good morning, Ms Matheus."

Feng Mian's last sentence was meant to be sarcastic, but it was questionable if Thea Mae sensed it for she immediately felt nervous after Feng Mian's first few words. Her heart went aflutter, for she does not meet handsome smooth-talkers very often. And Feng Mian's elegance also subconsciously attracted her eyes, even if she had tried hard to deny so.

Thea Mae fangirled for a moment, while half of her was reprimanding herself for being disloyal to Mo Chou Huang, the self-proclaimed love of her life. She bit her lower lip as her cheeks were tinged pink. She had the perfect look of a blooming flower, but quite obviously, Feng Mian does not care a wit.

After waiting for Thea Mae to calm down, Feng Mian then said, "We can meet up in an hour to wherever you wish. I shall formally introduced myself to your father for now. Adieu."

Feng Mian gave another curt bow before dismissing herself, no longer interested with a girl like Thea Mae who seemed virtuous and beautiful inside and out, but apparently indecisive once offered another good choice upfront. Such people was not worth her time.

Before Thea Mae could obstruct and delay Feng Mian further, the latter was already gone as her legs were long despite appearing to be walking leisurely. A mere 10 seconds passed and Feng Mian already inquired the Front-Desk personnel to tell her which floor does the CEO reside.

Filled with a belly full of grievances, Thea Mae stomped her feet as her hands dialed Ying Yue's private number. Once the line connected, she immediately cried her grievances. "Yue! Your older brother's a huge block of wood! You asked me to take him out and reassured me it will all according to your plan, but he's gone! GONE! Already about to meet my father!" She huffed before she continued speaking.

"What do you plan to do now? Do I really have to go on a date with him?!" She was feeling angry now, because what if a scandal was spread between her and the Young Master Zhao, Mo Chou Huang might misunderstand! 

Ying Yue's calm and pleasant voice then replied on the other side of the line, "I really, really am sorry Thea Mae, but I didn't think he could manage to think of a way around the reporters. After all, even the constables cannot just arrest them as journalist usually have their permit to be excused of such--"
