A beauty in dark

Soon the entire city was covered with darkness. Xia lan planned to visit the nearest pub with her friends. She told Becky early this morning to send her a draft of sartee by email at 1:00 but she sents it to her at 7:00.

So, She was still working on her computer. The whole floor was dark and empty Becky and her friend Simon had already left an hour ago.

On 19th floor

One more day has come to an end! – He thought, admiring the incredible view of CITY from his huge office. He was holding a file in which all information about Xia lan was written. He was impressed by her work.in such a short time she managed to secure assistant manager's seat. He sits on his fancy chair trying to figure out something to improve his mood after the stressful hard work week. by now he was used to be alone. He read about Xia lan's personal life which stated that she had been in love with someone for many years. His heart sank. He didn't know why but he was feeling uncomfortable so he decided to go to the pub with his friend Jace for some drinks. Jace was his childhood friend. He was a manager in sartee. Jace office was on the 11th floor so he decided to go on the 11th floor to check by himself. But his mind was still thinking about Xia lan.

"Liang stop thinking about her, it's not going to lead you anywhere." – He thought to himself. He picked his phone and dialed Stewart.

"Yes. Sir."

"Stewart I'll be leaving in 10 minutes, pick me up in front of the building. We are heading to the midnight pub."

"Ok. Sir."

"hm." – he said hanging up and sliding his phone in his pocket. He reached the elevator and pressed the button to the 11th floor. It was off time so he already knows that no one will be on the 11th floor except Jace.

He was intrigued, as quietly as possible he walked through the foyer to take a look at that source of light from the computer. A girl was sitting there. His heart started to jump. She was lan. She was sitting on her legs in front of her computer chuckling to her screen. She was adorable with beautiful shining hair cascading on her shoulder and that lips curling into a smile. She seems to enjoy her work, and he felt pleased. He was hypnotized by the girl. He couldn't take his eyes off. Then he heard her phone ringing. He flinched in the corner of the foyer, he didn't want her to notice him spying on her. She fumbled to pick it up and dropped it on the floor, cursing to herself. He couldn't help himself but smile. She was funny and beautiful, and some unbelievable energy emanated from her making him wait to listen to her conversation.

"Hey, Simon what's up?"

Simon? Might be her lover? Maybe they both are planning of hangout or date? – He thought annoyed

"No. I'm still at the office…..yeah, I'm still here because of you two. You both did me the favor to finish this draft at the end of the day. I told Becky to send me at 2 pm. Her email was sent at 7 pm saying it was you who delayed it." – She said mockingly

Well, it's a coworker after all. He was stunned at how relieved he felt that Simon is not her boyfriend.

"Stop mocking at me, Simon. I'm not a slug. It's your fault that you can't finish your work on time and roam around girls." – She said laughing

My GOD, she is witty!

"Sure. I'll be there in a bit…. Yes, Simon. Although to get there soon you have to stop talking. I have to finish this file to send it to Jace. You knew today was our deadline, and it was a request from Mr. Mu."

Well, well, well she is working on a file for me, I had to make sure to take a good look at this particular file.

"Simon, for GOD sake let me finish this. Don't worry I'm going to midnight straight from the office ok? Thanks, see you," – she said nodding her head.

With the movement, her hair hugged her shoulders smoothly and he felt his mouth dried. He swallows hard and decided to go to midnight as soon as possible. Fireworks were started in his heart. He rushed out of the building happily he doesn't know more but he wants to see her one more time.
