Chapter 9 - The Reports

As he is nearing Grandfather Shen's home office, he saw the door was slightly ajar. He looked into the room, seeing the familiar room, he spotted a head and a figure sitting at the dark mahogany table just in front of the windows.

He was walking towards this girl that is sitting behind a desk in the library. The same girl as the previous scene. The feeling of familiarity came. He walked slowly towards her back that was facing him. He covered her eyes from the back and told her to guess who he is.

Instead of guessing, she jumped up from her chair, knocking him over and he landed on the floor. She laughed at him and seeing her laugh, he laughed too.

Getting up, she gave him a kissed on the check that made him feel the warm spreading from his heart and the scene faded away with the feeling still lingering.

Shaking off the memory and thr lingering feeling, he put on his usual expressionless facade and walk in.

Seeing her just sitting there, gave him a feeling of familiarity but he is not sure why. He just pushed that thought aside and went closer to her.

"Miss An Fei, I'm here, where should I begin?"

Shocked, she almost jumped out of the chair. Fumbling around she grab the documents on hand and started flipping through them very fast.

"Here, take a look at this. Let me know what are your thoughts on this report."

Taking over the file that she had just handed to him, he started reading the report.

"He is too closed." She mumbled to herself.

"Did you say anything?"

"No no no no. I have a habit of talking to myself when I am working." She stared at the document before her and did her best to move away from him.

A few minutes later, he stared at her trying to get her attention. Not willing to call out her name.

Feeling his stare, she turned to him.

"Yes Mr Chen, what is it? What have you found?"

Pointing to a section of the reports, he stepped closer to her.

"Well, I'm not very sure but..."

Once the both of them started working together they forgotten about everything and just focused on the work on hand. Slowly, they moved the reports and documents down to the sitting area away from the table and started a long and heated discussion.

A couple of hours later, Butler Chu was looking in from the doorway to make sure that all is clear before stepping in. As a Butler with the family for many years he knows when he needs to make sure that the atmosphere is good in the room before he steps in so as not to disturb any intimate moments.

Chen Xin was sitting on the sofa holding a set of documents and a pen in hand while An Fei was sitting beside him on the floor and was busy scribbling away.

Butler Chu took out his phone and snapped a photo of them this way and walk over to them slowly with a smile on his face.

"Young Miss, Sir, dinner is ready. Shall I ask the maids to bring it up to Old Master's rooms and the both of you joins him there for dinner?"

Looking at his watch, Chen Xin didn't know that time flew so fast. He was already getting a hang of it during the guidance that An Fei has given him. He is totally impressed by her knowledge.

Not looking up, An Fei was still busy scribing on the documents the amendments that needed to be done.

"Tell Grandfather I'll be up once I'm done with this document. I will carry on with the rest of it after dinner."

"Sure Young Miss."
