The moments they went away, an uproar occured. Chaos can be heard from the lobby as they gushed about their new CEO and his friends.
Meanwhile in the VIP elevator, the moment the door closed, Micheal shoulders slumped and he sighed loudly. Moments later, he jumped and hugged Mr. Liu.
"Oh, how I missed you a lot, Uncle Liu. You seem strong despite your old age," he inspected the old man from head to toe.
Smack! "Ouch! Why?"
Smack! "Ouch!"
"Hey, don't smacks my head. You'll damaged my hairstyle."
Smack!
Micheal dodged before Mr Liu's hand could smacked his head and shoulder again. He rubbed his sore shoulder while sulking at the corner.
"Barbarian old man," he mumbled.
Others chuckled loudly when they saw Micheal being bullied by Mr. Liu.
"How are you, Uncle Liu?"
They asked and bowed simultaneously.
"I'm good..I'm good. As that boy said, I'm strong as a bull."
Mr. Liu said proudly while patting his chest.
"The four of you had became more handsome than the last time I saw you."
He nodded in approval.
"Well, I was born handsome," Micheal quickly said.
"Except when you opened your mouth talking rubbish," Mr. Liu quipped.
They all laughed.
"Ding."
The elevator bell's chimed when they arrived at the 38th floor, the highest floor in Mu Corp building. They schooled their faces back to the serious and composed expression before they went out of the elevator.
This floor housed the CEO's office with adjoined room, secretaries cubicles, pantry, a meeting room and waiting area. The secretaries greeted them when they passed by.
Mr. Liu ushered them towards the CEO's office before leaving a message to the secretaries to never disturb them. He closed the door and locked it before he strode to the set of sofa at the front, right side of the CEO's table.
"Don't just standing there, come and have a seat. I prepared some refreshments for you," he said before he took out the desserts from the large bag at the side and lay it open on the table.
He proceeded to poured the coffee, but Danial stopped him.
"Let me do it, Uncle Liu. You're the elder, I can't let you serve us youngster. Unless in public."
Because they need to maintain a profesionalism public image.
"These look tasty. They smelled delicious too," Jason exclaimed and picked a cream puff before he sat.
He took a bite, slowly munching, swallowed and then he froze.
"T..thi..this..this..," he stuttered.
He turned to look at his friends whose looking back at him wierdly. They asked what had happened but he seem dazed. He took another bite, munching slowly and swallowed. Suddenly, he jumped on his feet and shakingly pointed at Mr. Liu.
"This..this..dessert, where..where did you bought it?"
He asked excitedly but nervously. Mr. Liu whom was confused by his actions, confusedly answered,
"I ordered them from my friend" -he scratches his head- "..employee..umm..why? Is there anything wrong?" -he inspected the desserts- "She made the best desserts that I ever had in my whole life. Even your aunt agreed too. It's not like her to made a mistake."
He then picked up the cream puff and took a bite.
Then he confusedly said, "It's still has the same taste. Nothing's wrong."
He looked towards Jason who stood frozen with his mouth hanging opened. He snapped his fingers in front of his eyes.
Suddenly, Jason shouted excitedly.
"Hey you three buffoons, quickly eat..quickly eat. Come on..come on.."
He tried to shoved his friends some of the desserts.
They all looked at him weirdly before picking some of the desserts. The moment they took a bite and munching, their expressions changed. They simultaneously looking towards each other before they quickly took another bite. Then they turned towards Jason whom waiting expectantly for their reactions.
The four of them soon boring their eyes on the desserts, as if there was valuable treasure inside. Just as they focused on the desserts, seemingly trying to find an answer, Mr. Liu coughed awkwardly.
"I apologized if the desserts are not to your liking. But I have another one here," he said while putting the Tiramisu Cheesecake on the table.
They widened their eyes and as if the switch was flipped, they quickly grab a spoon, dig in and put it in their mouth. Jason, Micheal and Calvin widened their eyes with opened mouth while Danial's pupils constricted and he pursed his lips. It has the same taste that he loved. Nothing's changed.
He snapped from his thoughts and asked Mr. Liu about the desserts. Mr. Liu whom still shocked by their reactions felt scared.
He quickly blurted, "They were baked by one of our shareholder."
The moment they heard Mr. Liu statement, their roller coaster emotions were deflated like a burst balloon. They can't helped hoping that it was Wang Hua who baked the desserts. But, there's no way she was one of the shareholder, as they knew all the shareholders were middle-aged men.
It's true, but they did not know that a month ago Chairman Mu had sold 1% of his share to Luna for half of the market prize as a token of gratitude for her great ideas.
They looked towards Danial and as expected he had a dark and gloomy expression. They dejectedly eating the desserts as they thought, 'Was it possible for two different person to baked the desserts with the same unique taste?'
Because after Wang Hua, they never tasted dessert that has the unique taste as she did...until today.
