it's a deal

Xia Xi grabbed Lei Kai Xuan's hand. "Who are you?" as Xia Xi asked him anxiously. Lei Kai Xuan quickly released his hand from her grip. He cleared his voice, "Sorry, I came to the wrong room."

"Wait, don't go." Xia Xi called to stop him, but he walked out ignoring her. "Why does he sound like someone I know. Do I know him?" as Xia Xi wonders.

The next morning the doctor came to check on her, "Ms. Xia, your fever is finally gone. If there's nothing else bothering you, then you could leave the hospital."

"Thank you doctor. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

Xia Xi clears her throat, "May I ask who was with me when I was admitted to the hospital?"

"Ahh, you're asking that. It was your boyfriend? He was here for the whole night on the day you came. He didn't leave till the morning. Didn't he tell you?" The doctor looks at her confusingly.

"My boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend," as Xia Xi said it quietly.

"Huh?"

"Oh nothing. Thank you doctor."

After the doctor leaves, Xia Xi sits there thinking. "My boyfriend?" Suddenly Xia Xi remembers what Han Chen told her. "It was Lei Kai Xuan who called me." "Lei Kai Xuan? How would he know that I was here." Xia Xi sits there thinking again. "Omg, don't tell me he was the one that stayed here the whole night and say it was my boyfriend."

"Why would he do that? Isn't he a devil." Xia Xi couldn't believe it and tried every possible way to make sure it's not him. "What should I do. I still have to work with him," as she scratches her head. "Wait, since he doesn't know that I know. I should just pretend that I don't know." ...…. "Right, that's what I'm going to do."

------------The NEXT DAY-----------

The next day, Xia Xi went to work.

"Good morning Xia Xi." As she entered the building everyone greeted her as she walked through the office.

"Omg, Xia Xi. You're finally back. Did you know for the past few days, so many things have happened." Fan Fan walked up to her and took her bag.

"What happened?

"Mr. Lei came by the office two days ago to request a partner change."

"What? He wants to change me?" Xia Xi sits there angrily looking at the window. "What did chairwoman Xia say?"

"Chairwoman Xia told me to tell you to go say sorry to Mr. Lei. No matter if you did something or not."

"WHAT??!!!! SHE'S TELLING ME TO GO SAY SORRY TO THAT JERK? I…. I WON'T" Xia Xi anger rises and tightens her fist.

"What kind of attitude is that?" a voice came through the door.

"Grandmother? I mean Chairwoman Xia."

She signals Fan Fan to go out and closes the door.

"I know that you don't want to go say sorry, but this is your first project back after a year. Do you know how many people are watching you? If you don't do this then they'll use this as an excuse to kick you out. Don't you understand?"

Xia Xi looks at her grandmother. "Fine, I'll go."

"I'm only doing this because of my grandmother," as Xia Xi got inside her car.

Xia Xi arrives at The Lei's Group. "You better not do anything worse," as Xia Xi said it while controlling her anger. She told the security and he activated the elevator for her. She went up to floor 30 and saw his secretary.

"Hi, I came to talk to Mr. Lei," as Xia Xi said it politely.

"Okay, just wait a minute please." The secretary walked inside his office and after 2 minutes, she came back out. "Mr. Lei is in a meeting right now."

Xia Xi looked through the glass window, "I'll just wait for him here then."

The secretary smiles at her, "Here's water for you."

Xia Xi thanked her and sat there waiting for him to finish with the meeting.

Two hours had passed and Xia Xi went up to the secretary. "Is Mr. Lei finished with his meeting yet?" The secretary shakes her head. Xia Xi went back and sat. She checks the time and it's 1pm already. Her stomachs start to growl. She kept sitting there and finished drinking her water already.

"Ms, Xia do you want more water?" as the secretary came up to her. Xia Xi stood up, "Is Mr Lei done yet? It's been three hours already." "Sorry, Mr. Lei is very busy today." Xia Xi looks at the door, "he just want to torture me," as Xia Xi mumbles. "I'm sorry? I didn't hear that." "Oh nothing, can you give me another cup of water?" The secretary took her cup and went to the pantry. While the secretary is away, Xia Xi sneaks up to Lei Kai Xuan's office door. She tried to peak in, but couldn't see anything. "Is he really in a meeting? How could he not be hungry though when it's 2 something already."

Xia Xi went back to sit and the secretary came back with her water. "Thank you."

Slowly by slowly the day has turned into night. Xia Xi who was waiting the whole time, fell asleep sitting on the chair.

The secretary went into Lei Kai Xuan's office. "Mr. Lei, Ms. Xia Xi has fallen asleep while waiting. Do you want me to wake her up and tell her to come back next time?" Lei Kai Xuan walks to his window and opens his curtains. He saw Xia Xi lying on the chair sleeping and her head hanging in the air. "Don't worry about it. You can go home now," as Lei Kai Xuan kept staring outside. "Okay, goodbye Mr. Lei." The secretary left and closed the door. Lei Kai Xuan went back to his seat and continued working.

It's 9pm already and Lei Kai Xuan closed his laptop and headed out the door. As he headed out, he saw Xia Xi still sleeping on the chair. He walked over and slightly patted her shoulders. "Hey, wake up." Xia Xi slowly opened her eyes and looked up. "Huh? You're done with your meeting?" Xia Xi sits up and realizes it's already that late and dark outside already. "I have something to tell you," as Xia Xi looks at Lei Kai Xuan.

"I have nothing to talk to you about." Lei Kai Xuan walks to the elevator and presses the button. "It'll be fast. Can you just give me five minute?" The elevator came and Lei Kai Xuan walked in. Xia Xi followed him in and stopped him from pressing any number. "Just five minute please??" Lei Kai Xuan looks at his watch,... "One minute just passed," In an instinct Xia Xi realized and hurry went straight to the point.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry? For what?" Lei Kai Xuan looks over at her.

"I don't know what I did wrong, but can you just forgive me." Xia Xi looks at him desperately.

"Are you begging me?"

Xia Xi slightly rolls her eyes, "yes, i'm begging you." Lei Kai Xuan laughs, "the vice president of De Lin is actually begging me. Wow, where has all your pride went?" Hearing what Lei Kai Xuan said, Xia Xi couldn't hold back anymore. "Lei Kai Xuan, you scumbag. You think I want to say sorry. If it wasn't because of my grandmother, I wouldn't even come here and wait the whole day just to say sorry!" Suddenly the elevator stops. "Don't tell me it's not working again." Lei Kai Xuan pressed the call button and the security responses back. "Mr. Lei there's a shortcut in the circuit. Just wait for a while, they're fixing it right now." Xia Xi sighs. "You should have every elevator check after we're out."

Lei Kai Xuan looks at her, "you're saying this is my fault? This never happens until you come. Why don't you say it's you. Bringing all the bad luck here," as he protested back .

"How is it my problem? This is your building," Xia Xi argued back.

All of a sudden the lights went off. "What happened?" as Xia Xi's legs start to shake. Lei Kai Xuan tried to contact the repair team, but there was no response back. "I told you, this is your problem," as Xia Xi takes out her phone. "No battery again? You never have battery when I need you," as she angrily puts back her phone in her pocket.

"AHHHHH!! WHO ARE YOU? MOVE AWAY FROM ME!!." Xia Xi screamed while hitting Lei Kai Xuan. "Hey, it's me." But Xia Xi didn't hear it and she kept screaming, and hitting him. "HEYY! I SAID IT'S ME. STOP SCREAMING AND HITTING." Xia Xi looked up and saw Lei Kai Xuan. " Why are you scaring me?" as Xia Xi yells at him. Lei Kai Xuan rolls his eyes, "Don't say you're a scary cat. I was just taking out my phone and opened the flashlight. You just started screaming and hitting without looking at who it is." Xia Xi calmed down and looked at him . "Well, I'm sorry. I mean it this time," as Xia Xi sits down on the floor. Lei Kai Xuan laughed. "What are you laughing at?" Lei Kai Xuan joins her and sits on the floor. "I've never heard you say that much sorry in one day. It's always you yelling at people and never admitting that you're wrong."

"What's so good about it. It's just saying sorry." Silence falls and Xia Xi spokes up. "So, I heard that you want to change partners for the project? Can I ask why?" Lei kai Xuan looks at her, "I don't want to work with someone who is stubborn, doesn't listen, and who is very impulsive. Plus, you said not to work with you." "When did I say that?" Xia Xi suddenly remembers the day at Lei Kai Xuan's house. * "If you can't deal with it then let's just not work the project together." * Xia Xi sits there and realizes it was her fault. "Oops why did I say that," as Xia Xi thought to herself. She turned around and looked at Lei Kai Xuan smiling. "Can you pretend that you didn't hear that," as she looks at him smiling. "Of course NOT." Xia Xi moved closer to him, "Please" She looked at him and gave him a puppy face. "Please don't do that." "I won't until you agree to work with me again." Lei Kai Xuan looked at her and thought about it for a second. "To forgive you, it's not possible. But from tomorrow on, you have to deliver me breakfast. Do it or not?"

"Are you kidding me? You think I'm a delivery guy?" as Xia Xi wants to say that. "So if I deliver you breakfast, then you'll work with me?" "of course, but I have to see how well you do." Xia Xi took out her hand and put it in front of him. "Pinky promise then." "Why?" "Why? Cuz I don't trust you." Xia Xi gestures her hand at him and he finally gives in. "You can't break this promise now," Xia Xi smiled at him. Suddenly, the door opens and the repair team is outside.

"Mr. Lei, are you okay?" Lei Kai Xuan looks at them, "I want you guys to double check every elevator now to make sure this doesn't happen again." Xia Xi smiled, "you did listen to me after all," and pats his shoulder. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow morning. Bye." She ran off and out the door.
