Plan A

A few hours later:

Mei Ling was in the living room of her house, the TV was playing an old movie, she had a blank stare into the void for almost an hour, she was still dressed up in her business attire. Her beautiful black hair was released from its hold, the light make-up that she had was completely erased, after freshening up and releasing her hair in cascade.

The feeling that she gave-off was completely opposite of the strict and imposing Head Secretary of Adler Corp. She had youthful air filled with laziness. Even though she had the same dress this time the dress gave a completely different feel. If her co-workers see her right now maybe, they wouldn't recognize her, no no they surely wouldn't recognize this Mei Ling. Is this really the woman who blasted out cold aura that will make both men and woman run away in fright? No certainly not because this girl is like the neighborhood good girl from 'Help Everyone Association', everyone would want to be friend with this lazy beauty.

Today, she was shaken, shaken by her icy-cold boss, the man she admired for a whole life, she never thought that this man who is a God of War reincarnate would propose to her, she saw him battle against relatives, friends, foes basically everyone around him. Since she first saw him to this day she didn't see a single expression on his face, but today he told her to marry him, and told her that he will love her.

She was seeing now a drama between two imaginary beings, well the basic angel and the basic devil. But the problem was that she didn't know which was which.

'He is lying, he is lying, I saw it in his eyes, his eyes weren't different, his eyes were the same as looking at a stranger, he must be lying, Mei Ling, you are a strong woman you can't be fooled. '

'Well, Mei Ling it's not like you have ever seen an expression on his face, maybe he loves you but he just doesn't know how to express his love. He never had a woman before after all.'

He is my boss, and I am his Head secretary, we have a purely professional relationship, there is no love involved in our relationship, I must forget about this proposal. But but What did I ask?!!

I knew I knew that I was too much with this, I only felt admiration for him, I didn't feel any love but I still asked him for his love but I didn't think he would accept! This let's just forget about this, right since I didn't accept, he must think I rejected him and he must be moving on a new target, right? I am not the only woman who can give him an heir, right? Why does this feel wrong?

Mama Mei was watching the expression of her daughter changing from time to time, she found it very entertaining, she didn't see so much expression on her daughter's face since the day her husband left her. Her expression were varying from disappointment, happiness, confusion, anger, determination, disgust, ecstasy, it really was fun for almost an hour, her daughter's expression were varying.

Mama Mei wanted to make some popcorn to watch her daughters entertaining face a bit more but, she stopped soon after. Mama Mei couldn't hide her disappointment when she came back from making the popcorn.

Mei Ling didn't miss the disappointment on her mother's face.

"Why are you disappointed? Is it because that man ignored your letter once again?" Mama Mei didn't mind Mei Ling's words she knew that her daughter was only worried for her since she was sending a letter every week for ex-husband for almost 20 years now.

"Aya, Little Mei, is it me who is really disappointed"

"Stop"

"What? It's been so long since I saw so many expressions on my daughter's face!"

Mei Ling was at first dumbstruck by her mother's interrogation but then she blushed as she thought once again about the reason for her distress.

"Mama, should I marry?"

This time it was Mama Mei's turn to be dumbstruck.

"What did you say? Marry? How old is he? What's his job? When did you know each other? How long have you been together?"

Mei Ling blushed even more at Mama Mei's rapid-fire question. She got up and ran away to her room.

"Aya, look at this, youngsters these days find husbands and flee as soon as they see their mother, Little Mei, did you forget your old mother?"

Mama Mei continued her rambling as she left for the kitchen. The voice of Mama Mei's rambling could be heard in the whole house.

A few minutes later a phone call could be heard, Mei Ling took her phone and answered:

"Yes, Mei Ling Head Secretary from Adler Corp speaking"

"Miss Mei, the Boss told us to tell you that tomorrow you are going to Japan with the boss for a business deal at Kazoku Corp, so you must be at the Private port before 9 am"

"for how long"

"Seven days"

"What? Since when the boss is doing a business that taking this long?"

"We don't know miss, normally the deal should be completed by the third day but the boss told us to change it to seven and move out all other Appointments"

Mei Ling blushed as she thoughts about what happened today.

"Ok" she ended the call.

She shouted out loud "Ma, I am going to Japan tomorrow, it's going to take seven days, arrange me my luggage"

Mei Ling was beet red at the thought of spending four extra days with her boss, and she was pretty sure that the deal will be completed in three.

While Mei Ling was in her own thoughts. Jack was mumbling from skyscraper far away: "Plan A, launched" while chuckling creepily. The chuckle brought a hair-raising feeling.
