SWNOVELS Chapter 28: Where are your manners?
Yolanda Zu glanced at the secretaries with a hostile gaze. She expects that they all stood up and greeted her but they seemed not to know who she was.
"Excuse me ma'am, who would you want to see?" One of the secretaries, the senior among the two secretaries asked.
The secretary asked politely. She saw that the young woman seemed to be a high class woman and hence she should be respected.
"Is Junxie Li in the office?" She asked, looking at the secretaries with disdainful eyes. The earlier they realize she's their future madam, the better it would be for them.
The secretary gulped down a ball of saliva. She called the President directly by his name? Even if she's rich and more classic than him, she's still a woman after all.
And besides, she doesn't know if there's a family in the city that is wealthier than the Li family.
"Is President Li expecting you?" The secretary asked, indirectly correcting her in her manner of approach.
"What does that have to do with you?" She asked and walked past them towards Junxie Li's office. She pushed the door open suddenly and stepped in.
Junxie Li was still not recovered from the shock of the fact that he was slapped for the first time in his life by a woman.
He raised his head and looked at the door. Who dares enter into his office without knocking the door. When he saw that the fellow was Yolando Zu, his displeasure was written all over him.
The last person he wants to see now is her. "Where are your manners? How could you barge into a President's office without knocking on the door?" Junxie Li asked, his eyes firing daggers at her. "That shouldn't apply to me, Junxie. I am your Fiance after all"She walked delicately towards the fellow behind the desk and intended to walk over to him when Junxie Li thundered. "Stay within the jurisdiction of your welcome!" Junxie Li said, glaring at her angrily. What nonsense, was she intending to Walk around and stand by his side?
Yolanda Zu was dazed.
How could this fellow not have a bit of romantic words to his Fiancee?. What kind of a man was he? She's his Fiancee of two years.
They've been engaged and what's left now is tying the knot. He doesn't have to be hostile to the woman he would be getting married to.
"Why the hostility, Junxie. Aren't you happy that you saw me?" Yolando Zu asked, standing on the edge between the desk and the exquisite chair Junxie Li was sitting on.
"I don't want to see you. I made it clear to you that I was busy when you called yesterday. Which part of I am busy, didn't you understand? I don't like someone pestering me around like a flea"Junxie Li declared, staring at her in the face.
Yolando Zu's eyes welled up. Has it gotten to an instance that he compares her presence with a pestering flea? She gently went over and sat down on the seat in front of Junxie's desk.
She sniffled and took out a wet tissue to wipe her tears away. "Can't you spare time to be with me? Are you so busy that you no longer have time to eat? I want us to get to know each other better and our temperament.."Yulando Zu was sermonizing him.
But Junxie Li had longed to return to work on his computer. He's entire attention was on the computer and didn't seem to hear what Yolando said.
But he heard. He only pretended not to hear. He took his phone and sent a message to his assistant. He would get a takeout and eat it right before Yolanda without as much as inviting her to join him. Yolanda sat down and watched him working.
What kind of a man is Junxie Li? She'd seen other men pamper their girlfriends and fiancee so lovingly and romantically that she became the envy of a lot of women.
But Junxie Li never takes her out for dinner or lunch. Besides, once in a while when she got invited to Li's family house for lunch or dinner did she eat from the same dining table with him.
He doesn't smile nor even hold hands with her. He is always feeling gloomy and cold whenever she's around him.
Once her parents invited him over for dinner and Junxie Li bluntly refused. He said he had dinner with a client and couldn't forfeit it because of them.
Her parents were not happy with him but she told them that Junxie's attitude was typical of a businessman. Maybe the client has invested so much in his company and needs to show appreciation by going to dinner with the client. Her parents shook their heads. They agreed.
They said she was right. But Junxie Li never called back to reschedule another dinner with her and her family.
After a long time, the takeout arrived and Pascal Lee was surprised to see Miss Yolanda seated. He said a word of greetings to her and the latter just shook her head and said nothing.
Pascal Lee soon disappeared. He doesn't want to stay another minute with his boss. This kind of look had always put him under a harder task to be done.
Junxie Li's Fiancee sat and stared at his face. His baby's mama has angered him enough and this rich arrogant woman has brought herself to him as well. "Didn't you realise that I'm still waiting for you to spare time so we can go for lunch?" Yolanda Zu asked.
