Verdan Zhou strode towards his office after alighting from the VIP elevator.
Liu Fei Long bowed as he greeted, "Good morning, CEO Zhou."
"Hmmn." Verdan Zhou subtly nodded, keeping his indifferent expression.
As they continued walking towards the end of the hallway, the assistant gave a briefing on the schedule for the day.
Dan gestured his assistant to follow through into the office as he subtly tilted his head. For a tall person, his movements were minimal.
Liu Fei Long followed his boss inside the office. Then as if remembering something, his expression lit up. "Ah! CEO, Madam Zhou had asked for you."
"When?" Verdan Zhou raised a brow as he took off his coat, hang it on the rack, then strode to sit before his desk.
He started browsing through the pile of folders before him.
"CEO, Madam requested the meeting today since she was not able to see you yesterday."
Verdan Zhou continued to browse and sign.
"What is it about?"
"She did not disclose, Sir."
Verdan Zhou frowned, sighed, then strode out of his office.
Liu Fei Long was stunned for a couple of seconds before he followed his boss who had almost reached the elevator. He sprinted in his suit to beat him in pressing the going up button.
His boss frowned. "She's in her office?"
"Uhm..." Liu Fei Long gulped. He just assumed that the chairman requested the meeting in her office.
"It's fine. Checking her office won't hurt." As Verdan Zhou finished this statement, the elevator had landed to the top floor.
"CEO." Greetings in bent backs flooded them as they walked along the hallway to the chairman's office.
When they arrived at the door, a female voice stopped them.
"CEO Zhou, the chairman is not yet in her office." A bespectacled lady in a neat bun declared.
She abruptly rose from her swivel chair behind her cluttered desk, which faced the door to the chairman's office.
"You requested for a meeting with me." Verdan Zhou glared at her. "Yet she is not even here. Are you kidding me?!" He looked at her, then he turned to his assistant for answers.
Liu Fei Long shook his head like a rattle. He pleaded with his eyes that the CEO would believe his innocence on this matter.
"Useless!" He continued glaring at them subsequently, before his black oxfords pivoted back to the hallway.
He took out his phone from his pocket as he continued to stride to the VIP elevator.
"Good morning, CEO. What can I do for you today?" Michelle Adams had great energy in her voice and answered after a single ring.
"Did you know about my mother summoning me this early?" There was a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Even if she could not see her boss's expression, Michelle Adams surely detected the danger in his voice.
"CEO, I had informed Assistant Liu 2 days prior that the Madam wanted to see you. She requested a meeting at DM Seafood Restaurant at 1100H. Would you want further details, Sir?"
Verdan Zhou's expression turned dark. At this point, he wanted to strangle Liu Fei Long.
Sensing his boss, Assistant Liu unconsciously stepped back, and cursed himself for being alone with the CEO, who obviously want him dead, in a contraption called the elevator.
After restraining himself from firing his assistant, Verdan Zhou worked all morning to finish his paperworks which pile up after being away.
At 1045H, there was a knock on his door.
"Enter."
The wooden door slowly opened with a bit of squeak. Assistant Liu entered.
"CEO, the meeting with the madam will be a quarter of an hour from now." he reminded.
Verdan Zhou flicked on his signature on the document in his hand before standing up.
He strode out of his office, Assistant Liu just behind him.
When the CEO entered the VIP elevator, he swiftly pivoted to look face-to-face his assistamt.
"Stay here." He ordered.
Liu Fei Long had cold sweats. He would probably better off looking for another job.
.
Verdan Zhou drove his new gray Peugeot 508. The restaurant is about 10 minutes away, but considering the flow of traffic, he might be late at this point.
As he drove, he was trying to compose in his mind how to gently turn down his mother, who seemed to remain persistent on marrying him off to Madeline Song. He won't be surprised if this is a setup for them to meet.
"Mr. Zhou, this way, please." A pretty waitress gestured as she led him to a private room.
She left after he was led to a closed door.
He turned the knob with irritation in his mind.
To his surprise, the room was dimly lit, with no one occupying the seats.
Suddenly, his vision turned black.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
