Chapter 8

Xin was driving her car through a road with heavy traffic. Her heart was beating fast. She felt anxious because she felt like something was not quite right. Her grandma Chelsea requested that they meet at her office. They were going to meet with a VIP at her grandma's company. She was glad that it was a woman. She would've declined her grandmother's request if that person was not a woman. She checked the time on her phone. She was glad that she left early. She just knows that traffic on a weekday is bloody heavy.

This is just the second time that she'll be showing up at her grandmother's office.

The cars were finally moving. Her grandmother's main company building was finally on sight. Xin parked her car and took a deep breath. She checked herself at the vanity mirror. Well, she looks hot for sure. Simple. But she looks hot.

Xin wore an oxford shirt with vertical white and steel blue stripes and folded sleeves. She paired it with skinny fitting jeans. She also wore her cream colored sneakers.

She was glad that there were no men in the lobby when she arrived. Her grandmother must have sent a memo telling every man to stay on their stations and never roam around when I enter the building.

"Hello, Miss Xin. Ma'am Chelsea is waiting for you. Is here any beverage that you fancy? I will bring it in Ma'am Chelsea's office." One staff greeted her with a smile. The woman looked at her from head to toe.

"Water please. Thank you." Xin answered politely.

The woman nodded. Xin went inside the elevator where there are already 4 women inside. She felt tense. She needed to calm down. She knew that the women were checking her out.

Her phone rang and she answered the call.

"Hey, I'll be coming home late. You don't have to prepare dinner for me,okay? Grandma asked me to do something. I love you. Don't push yourself too hard. Take care." Veronica said on the other end of the line.

"I will, you too. I love you too,sis." Xin let out a sigh. The elevator finally stopped on her floor. She walked out of the elevator.

Slowly, she knocked on her grandmother's office door. She heard a voice telling her to come in. She slowly opened the door.

"Hi, baby girl!" Her grandmother smiled upon seeing her. Her smile was from ear to ear.

She groaned. "Please don't call me that."

Chelsea just laughed and walked towards Xin. Chelsea gave Xin a bear hug. "I just missed my baby girl. So you not miss me too?" She pouted

"I miss you too, grandma."

Chelsea clapped her hands and hugged her out of joy, just like a child. They heard giggles. Xin looked at the two women sitting on the couch.

"Oh, I forgot about them." Chelsea pulled Xin's arm so that Xin could sit beside her. "Maxine, let me introduce to you my co-founder and friend, Blair Brown. This is her personal assistant, Quinn Lauren. Ladies, this is my granddaughter, Maxine."

The women stood up and offered their hands for a handshake. Xin gulped and looked at their fragile hands.

"You'll be fine. Just touch them." Seraph assured.

Xin slowly reached for their hands and shook them.

Her grandmother frowned. "Maxine?"

"It's alright, grandma. I'm fine. And please stop calling me by my real name. I'm getting itchy just hearing that."

Chelsea laughed and tapped Xin's back.

"So, it's true that you are afraid of touching others." Blair stated.

"I'm just making sure so I will not hurt others. You'll be fine because you are a woman. It's quite a different story when it comes to men though. My body will sort of like be in a defensive mode and then hurt the man."

Blair chuckled and put her hands up in surrender to show that she meant no harm.

"Anyway, what's our agenda for today's meeting?" Xin asked as she leaned against the couch's backrest.

Quinn handed her a pile of documents. She read it.

"These bastard hackers got into our main system. They out a virus in it and we can't seem to fix it. Millions will be affected if we can't get rid of the virus."

Xin hummed as she continued to read the documents really fast. "Is this all?"

Blair and Quinn gave her a weird look.

"That's all. We can't let the media know about this matter. A lot of workers might lose their jobs because of this." Quinn answered.

"Why me, out of all people?" Xin asked in a serious tone.

"Because we have already tried everything in our power to find a fix to this problem. We have already asked the best hackers to fix it. They all failed though. We have already exhausted all means to have it fixed." Blair said.

Xin sighed and stretched her neck. She went to her grandmother's computer and she started typing codes.

"You know, it was a group of hackers. They were the ones who put the virus in your system. They are working for the government. You have an enemy inside your company. I'll handle this, but you will have to be the one who deals with this person who hates your job." She said as she was typing. She pressed the enter button. "Done."

"W-What?" Blair's eyes went wide because of shock.

"Just like that?" Quinn asked with a frown.

Xin nodded and looked at her grandmother who has a proud smile on her face.

Quinn received a call. After talking on the phone, she stared at them.

"The virus is gone. The office called and told me the details. All data were saved on our main server." Quinn said, still shocked.

"Wow!" Blair felt relieved upon hearing the news.

"I got rid of the virus. I made another virus and sent it to your hackers. I believe they are in a state of panic now."

The three women laughed. "Oh dear, you are so evil." Chelsea said and hugged Xin again. "Thank you for helping them, baby girl."

"It's my job, grandma. I'm waiting for my reward. My service is not free, after all."

"Of course, you will get your reward. I couldn't believe that you handled it in a minute. Thank you for a job well done." Blair said happily.

Xin smiles at them. The women were stunned when they saw Xin's face lit up with a smile. Chelsea couldn't believe that her granddaughter was smiling in front of them.

"I...uh...w-would you like to eat out? My treat, of course." Blair asked.

Xin shook her head. "It would be nice if we just order food and have it delivered here. I'd rather not go outside without my sister."

"Oh, sure." Blair signaled for Quinn to order food.

"Would it be okay with you if I order chinese food?" Quin asked while typing in her phone.

"Yeah. Sure." Xin shrugged and sat on the couch again.

Blair was staring at Xin. Xin was getting uncomfortable but hid her discomfort. She won't let it show on her face.

"Have you already met Heidi, baby girl?"

"So...you knew about it?"

"Yes. Right from the start. Vicky introduced her to me. She's a sweet child."

"Great. You all keep secrets from me." Xin crossed her arms.

"Vicky needed time. She was just scared of you."

"I know. I like Heidi for her. To be honest, I want them to get married as soon as possible."

"Really?" An amused smile showed on Chelsea's face.

"Yeah. Virgins are hard to find these days."

Blair and Quinn cleared their throats. Xin gave them a questioning look.

Chelsea laughed so hard that she was almost out of breath. "O-Oh my god, baby girl! Do you really love virgins? How can you find a girl if you are always locked up in your room and just work?"

"I found someone. I can already touch non-virgins. I did a bit of experimenting with Vicky's friends. They were nice enough to help me."

"You found a virgin?" Chelsea was shocked.

Xin smirked. "Yes, and I don't plan on letting her get away so easily."

"Yes, that's right."

"What is this stuff about virgins?" Blair asked out of curiosity.

"Well, my granddaughter here loves women who are still virgins." Chelsea declared.

Blair and Quinn were not able to respond because they were not virgins anymore. They felt like they were less of a woman in Xin's eyes.

"Oh, don't worry about not being a virgin anymore. I'm still adjusting to that but I think I'm fine with it." Xin said when the two women got a bit sad upon hearing what Chelsea said.

"You are also a virgin, baby girl. Never been kissed and touched."

"Nope. I kissed someone."

"Who?!" The 3 women asked in unison.

"The virgin girl." Xin smiled again while she recalled the kiss that she shared with Amethyst.
