The Painter is the CEO's Wife

Shameless Stalker

October 29, 20XX (Monday)

The Grand Royal Palace Hotel- Milan

Mei Li arrived at the hotel huffing and puffing for air. She had hurried to return so she could wait for Yang's call. Of course, she did it to prevent embarrassing herself to other workers inside the Gallery not because she was excited about his call.

Hurrying into her room, the first thing she did was charge her phone and then blared the volume up so she could hear when the call comes.

Mei Li sat down on her vanity chair causing her to be face to face with herself in the mirror. She cringed when she saw her face.

Had she walked the streets of Milan with paint on her face?

Sprinting to the bathroom, she closed the drain on the bath and opened the faucet then adjusted the temperature to her liking. She remembered that she was waiting for a call, so she lowered the power of the running water down so little sound could only be heard.

And suddenly, her phone sang with her cliched ringtone of a love song. Mei Li once again sprinted towards her bed, picking her phone with haste that almost made it fall and then stumbling three times to press the dress button.

She was more nervous than she realized.

Mei Li cleared her throat first before answering slowly, "…Hello."

"Hey," A cheerful Yang said, "how are you doing there in Milan?"

"It's great! No annoying stalker following me around like Paris." Mei Li's taunt could have worked if the person was not as shameless as the CEO she is currently trying to hurt.

"Oh?" Mei Li could imagine the way Yang's eyebrows raising in mockery, "A stalker would not have revealed himself."

"A shameless stalker then…"

Mei Li's right eye twitched with irritation when Yang roared with laughter. She needs to teach him a lesson with humbleness. It seems he lacked this trait.

Mei Li was surprised when Yang's laughter cut abruptly and seeming as if he remembered something with a startled exclamation of, "Right! Have you heard anything from Yue?"

Her brown eyes scan the pajamas beside her contemplating to herself when she could take a bath while replying, "She said thank you for convincing you to buy two things than just one. Why? Did something happen?"

"She's started modeling actively."

"What's wrong with that?" Mei Li shook her head as she imagined the CEO pouting like a petulant child because to her right now, that's what he sounded like- A child denied his candy.

"She's going to be wearing those dresses that don't cover up anything!"

Mei Li snorted, "You're unexpectedly old-fashioned."

"I'm not old-fashioned, just conservative."

"It's her job; she's supposed to wear what's trending. I forgot you opposed her chosen career." Mei Li added a sigh to show her displeasure at the end.

"I don't get why she choose to be a model when she could inherit businesses that are turning stagnant! There is dad's hotels and resorts, mom's real estates, Grandpa's restaurants, and grandma's buildings to manage. I've already had four business aside from my newly made tech company."
