'Send someone'

It was then that Si Xia realised he was in a meeting and all the other people were staring dumbstruck at him.

He said to Chen, "Just a minute."

Si Xia then turned towards the people in the boardroom and spoke in a clear and crisp voice full of authority, a little too different from the tone he had used just a second ago, "That's all for today. You may all leave."

Everyone in the room looked like they had been struck by lightning.

As Si Xia turned his attention back to the call, a rather brave executive spoke out, "Um... President Si?"

Si Xia looked at him, his annoyance at being distributed quite apparent.

The man still continued, though his voice was a lot more small and shaky now, "What-what about our.... reports?"

Si Xia: "Mail them to me. Or rather, hand them over to Xing Chuan. I'll read them when I'm free."

Xing Chuan, who was standing beside Si Xia's chair, felt his hands reaching to stop his jaw from dropping, but checked himself at the last moment.

Si Xia looked around the hall one more time before getting up and walking towards his office.

On the other end, Yu Chen's eyes were almost popping out of her sockets. When she heard Si Xia's voice apologizing for the disturbance, she said, "Don't..... don't tell me you were in a meeting?"

Si Xia: "Yeah."

Yu Chen: "Don't.... don't adjourn it. I'll call back later."

Si Xia: "I already did. It was really boring anyway."

Yu Chen laughed, "What would the employees say if they heard their boss talking like that?"

Si Xia: "They won't dare to say anything. I am their boss after all."

Yu Chen chuckled, "Fine, you win. Still, you haven't changed."

Si Xia's heart stopped for a second. "Why?" he asked in a small voice.

"Why? Don't you remember the time you were on the tour from school, and you were chatting with me while having dinner with the vice-principal?"

Si Xia let out a breath, "Oh yeah. And you scolded me and told me to get back to dinner."

Yu Chen flipped her hair, "What can I say? I am such a nice person." And the two burst out laughing.

Finally, after an hour and a half, Yu Chen said, "Okay. Now you should get back to work. I don't want anyone else to surpass you until I set up my own company."

Si Xia chuckled, "I miss you."

Yu Chen smacked her forehead, "That reminds me. Could you send someone to pick me up today. I think it's about time to come back and dive into work."

Si Xia's face lit up like spring had come, "You're coming back today?"

Yu Chen nodded, "Mmhmm."

As Xia was about to say something, a devilish idea flashed across his mind and he said, "Okay. I'll send someone to pick you up by the evening. Send me your location."

Yu Chen could not help feeling a little disappointed as she said goodbye and cut the call. She was the one who had told him to 'send someone', so she had no right to feel unhappy that he was not coming himself.

Yu Chen repeatedly told herself as she sent Si Xia her location and started walking around aimlessly.
