Chapter 8 - The Reports

Back in the home office, she is still in a panic, thinking about how to face Chen Xin, she knows that there is nothing that she can do to prevent it anymore.

Pacing around the office, she picked up her phone and called her best friend. They have know each other since they were in diapers. Fin Dale's parents were her Grandmother's business partners and have migrated from Europe when their business started expanding into the western market.

Now that the call was not going through and is already getting on her nerves. She kept calling and cursed her best friend internally.

"Eh, Fei, can you stop calling me? I am in the middle of something here and my girlfriend is here."

"Girlfriend, who? Which of the 3 that you have created on your desktop or the modified blow up doll at home? Tell whoever's it is I say hi. Well they won't run away. I have a bigger problem here. You have to help me out."

"What rubbish are you spurting? I really have a girl here alright. A real life one. She is waiting for me in bed. So I'm cutting you off now. Bye"

"Hey wait up Mr Fin Dale. Please, I beg you Sir. Please help me. I really need your help now. Can't she wait a little? Just 2 mins will be enough."

On the other line, Fin stared at his girlfriend and covered the phone. "Dear, please wait for me. I'll end this as soon as possible. This person needs to be taught a lesson."

"Don't mind me. I'll just be here, in bed, waiting." She showed off her legs and received a low grunt from him as a reply and he just turned around and walked into the living room.

"Hurry up Fei, you are holding us back."

"Long story short, I met C and-"

"Wait a minute. The C? Your C? What is he doing there?"

"He picked me up from school to visit my Grandfather. Now that the old man is down and under the weather, he asked me to take over the work he is doing now because of a tight schedule. So now we need to work together on a number of reports. To be exact, I need to guide him on my family's company reports. What should I do now? We will be in the same room. What if he suddenly remembers me? What if he ask me if I have a boyfriend? What if he pounce on me? What if I loose control and hug him? What should I say? What should I do?"

"How would I know? I don't even know what your family does. It was not my issue to begin with. Why did you even bother calling me? Now, can I go?"

"No, i'm having a panic attack now. What should I do? What should I do?"

"Breath, what can you do?"

"What can I do? What can I do? hmm..... What I can think of is only to guide him then once we are done, that's it."

"Then why are you panicking?"

"Because it is C. You haven't seen him. Seeing him might turn you gay. Do you still remember how he look like? He has just turned more handsome on me when I wasn't with him."

"Who cares? I'm not interested. Whatever that is supposed to happen, let it happen then deal with it when it does. There is no need to think too much about WHAT IF because there is always a possibility that the WHAT IF never happens. Think about it. I'm hanging up now."

"Hey-"

He quickly ran back into his room. "Dear, I'm back."

The sight of her sleeping soundly in his bed cuddling his pillow just made him want to rush over to An Fei and punch her in the face.

Grabbing the blow-up doll from his cabinet, he walked into the bathroom. "It will be you and me tonight."

"Master, I love you and we will have a great time."

On the other side of the line, she was fuming that he just hang up the call just like this. She started to think that what was spoken did make sense. Let it happen and deal with it when it does happen.

Looking at the pile that is on the desk, she flips through it. Glad that work is a great distraction, she started reading the reports and was being pulled in. Focusing only on what was in front of her.
