Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

What??!!

Did they hear her wrongly??!!

It is already one difficult task to let her go up, and they still have to ask their big boss to come down??

Not only that!… He also has to personally help her carry this heavy box up to his office??!!

No way!!…

It is with no doubt that whoever makes this scary phone call would be fired by Isaac Wen immediately!

“…”

Meanwhile, Stephanie Ruan sat leisurely on one of the sofas nearby and looked through some documents on her tablet while waiting for them to get hold of Javier Zhong.

It has been about three days since Stephanie Ruan has met Javier Zhong, and neither has she responded to any of his texts.

To be frank, she did not like that his messages were kind of intrusive??

By the way, his chain of messages went exactly like this over the past few days…

[What are you doing now?]

[I’ll pick you up for dinner?]

[Busy with your work?]

[Reply when you see this.]

I mean, who is he to her? She really does not see the need to report to him about her schedule at all…

…

On the other side, the ‘poor’ employees are absolutely clueless as to why their boss has been in such a foul mood and it just kept getting worse as each day went by.

Well, it is not that Javier Zhong had treated them nicely in the past, but it is currently ten folds worse than before!

Right now, he is totally out of control!

-Slams table-

“I asked for a revised proposal yesterday morning and this is all you’ve got?!”

“You had exactly 24 hours!! How much more time do you need?!”

“I want to see it again in 3 hours! If it’s still not done by then, you can just pack up and leave!”

His thunderous voice is scaring every single employee standing outside his private office, still waiting to be interrogated by him.

Who knows what would happen to them when it’s their turn to be inside??…

All of them are shivering in fear and could only look at Isaac Wen with their helpless eyes, hoping that he could save them from this tragedy.

But what could Isaac Wen do about this?? He is only a personal secretary and it is not like Javier Zhong listens to him…

-Ring-

Isaac Wen picked up the office phone on his desk without any hesitation. “Isaac speaking.”

“Secretary Wen, there is a lady at the lobby waiting for Chairman Zhong and…”

“Is this your first day at work? Turn her down!” He instantly reprimanded the team leader over the phone.

Which girl does not want to make herself known to the most sought-after bachelor in the country??

In fact, on a weekly basis, the team of receptionists has to entertain tons of girls walking in and asking to see their big boss.

Of course, it is also expected that none of them have made it past the electronic staff gantry, let alone taken the lift up to see him.

“Hold on Secretary Wen… but… this lady specifically wanted Chairman Zhong to come down and help her with her belongings too…” The team leader nervously conveyed Stephanie Ruan’s message.

“Help her with her belongings?? Ha-ha! This lady is really…”

Sensing that something is not very right, Isaac Wen suddenly retracted his ridicule and questioned her in a serious tone. “Wait… did you get her name? And what does she look like?”

This is actually the first time that Isaac Wen is probing for more information. Startled, the team leader looked over to Stephanie Ruan who is still waiting at the sofa seat.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I did not get her name but… she looks more beautiful than any A-list celebrity! It is almost… unreal…”

Upon hearing the team leader’s ‘lousy’ description, Isaac Wen could still more or less guess who this lady is. “Wait there, I’m coming down now!”

The minute the lift door opened, Isaac Wen ran across the lobby and arrived in front of Stephanie Ruan within a few seconds.

Immediately catching on to Isaac Wen’s unusual uptight behaviour, the entire team of receptionists hurried behind him.

“Director Ruan, you are here today. Chairman Zhong didn’t mention anything about…”

“Oh, he doesn’t know that I’m here! But I want to speak with him today. He sent you down to help me?”

“Uhm… no… but… can I fill you in on the details as we head upstairs? I’ll carry that box for you.”

Confused as to why Isaac Wen is using a pleading tone, Stephanie Ruan agreed to him first and walked with him to the private lift that only Javier Zhong and Isaac Wen are allowed to use.

Once they are inside, she looked at the nervous man standing beside her. “You sound like you need my help. Spill it.”

Surprised by the fact that Stephanie Ruan had already seen through him so quickly, Isaac Wen nodded his head desperately and explained the entire situation to her.

“Hmm… he must have a reason for acting like this. But I don’t wish to meddle in his business.”

It is also at this point that the lift has arrived at the highest floor. “Director Ruan, can you help us talk to Chairman Zhong, please?”

Almost kneeling down to beg her, Isaac Wen refused to give up and tried his best to persuade her again. “We can only place our hopes on you, Director Ruan. Otherwise, all of us will not be able to go home again tonight.”

“…”

As soon as both of them stepped out of the lift, Javier Zhong’s voice could be heard loud and clear, reprimanding yet another employee.

“Open your eyes and re-look at what you have done!! Do you think you are submitting a school assignment?!”

Upon hearing his harsh scolding as well as personally witnessing the intense atmosphere in the entire office, Stephanie Ruan paused for a few seconds before turning to Isaac Wen.

“No promises.”

His eyes immediately lit up! “Thank you, Direction Ruan! Thank you, Director Ruan!…”

With all the hopeful eyes staring at Stephanie Ruan, she took confident steps toward the ‘terrifying’ office.

“I’ll give you 2 hours to complete this! Get lost!” Javier Zhong continued to shout at the employee in an unrestrained manner.

“Next one, come in!!” He ordered coldly.

Stephanie Ruan looked at the next person in the queue who is already fully drenched in his own perspiration. She then signalled for him to remain in his position first while she entered the private office on his behalf.
