I am a Bookworm

When the meeting was over Lijun was busy talking to Mr. Cheng about the project. Nixxi wanted to talk to her brother about the werewolf but didn't want anyone to listen their conversation. So she kept quit about it now but she'll talk about it when they'll get alone time.

"Meeting is good. She did good" Ji's statement brought back Nixxi from her thought.

"Yeah, she did good" Nixxi said looking at Yanmei.

Then she excused herself and went to Yanmei "Hey, congratulation. You get the project".

Yanmei looked at Nixxi "I'll try my best".

"I know. Btw, you did good" Nixxi said with smile.

Yanmei's eyes were wide "Good? I didn't do anything. I was just standing behind your brother like a statue".

Nixxi chuckle "That's why I said you did good. My brother like obedient secretary and you behave like an obedient kid"

Yanmei's rolled her eyes and Nixxi continue " Btw, today is your first day in the office, we should celebrate it".

"But " Yanmei tried to said something but Nixxi cut her word "No but. We'll be going to celebrate it. There is very nice Chinese restaurant. After work we'll go there"

Yanmei looked at her friend's excited face and surrendered "Okay".

Nixxi was happy that they will spend some time together. Now she just have to talk to her brother about that werewolf and if any werewolf was in their territory. They have to be very careful.

........................

"Did you kill him?" Lijun knew his sister was tense about it.

He didn't looked from documents and answered "I didn't find him".

"What?" Nixxi's eyes were wide.

"Can sister not understand the language?" He said calmly.

"But how can you not find him? And we both felt his presence. If you didn't find him that's mean he was in here " Nixxi said and Lijun grit his teeth "I know".

He knew he messed up. Werewolves were their enemy. Both shared bad blood. When one saw another, they killed each other.

He tried to find it before that awkward incident with Yanmei and after that he forgot about it. Only Yanmei's memory unintentionally occupied his thought. But he didn't confess about it with his sister. But because of his carelessness, his sister's life was in risk.

He cursed himself again in his mind. He acted like a teeneger.

"Anyway, I'll go with Yanmei to the famous Chinese restaurant tonight. So, don't wait for me" Nixxi said and Lijun looked at his sister dumbfounded.

"Are you out of your mind sister?" he asked.

She narrowed her eyes "What?"

"I told you a I can't find the werewolf but we both felt his presence. And you want to go the public place and invite him to attack you" rage appeared on his face.

"We can't hide in our territory because our enemy is here and I can protect myself" She said.

"Nixxi!" he warned.

"No, you can't control my life anymore. I am royal princess and I can protect myself. After so many years, I find someone who likes me and wanted to be my friend. You can't ruin it" She didn't wait for her brother's replay and left.

He was annoyed by his sister's stubbornness but at the same time he was afraid for his safety.

He took his phone and called someone "I felt a werewolf's presence in our territory. Find it and bring it to me. But don't kill it. Only I'll decide it's future" He ordered and cut the phone call .

.....................

After the office Yanmei and Nixxi went to that Chinese restaurant. Both were in their office cloths.

"What do you want to eat?" Nixxi asked.

"I'll like whatever you want" Yanmei smiled at Nixxi.

Nixxi chuckled "That's mean, you'll copy me".

"Well, I never went to any restaurant, so I don't know about special dishes" Yanmei said with sad smile.

Nixxi wonder in what kind of environment Yanmei raised. And she thought she should know about her friend a little more.

The waiter came and Nixxi ordered "I like to have Ma Po Tofu and Noddles". When the waiter looked at Yanmei she said the same.

After the waiter went Nixxi start to ask question about Yanmei's parents, school, hobby.

"You never tell about your parents. Are they not good?" Nixxi looked at Yanmei curiously.

"My mother was very good woman. I loved her and miss her" Yanmei looked at her hands and continued "But after her death, father married another woman".

"So your father and your step mother didn't like you?" Nixxi question with puzzled face. Humans had complex relationship and she didn't understood it very much.

"They hate me. And they had a daughter who hates my gut. I am sure no one cares that I leave" rage appeared on Yanmei's face.

"I am sorry" Nixxi apologized. She felt bad for Yanmei. She wanted to hunt her family down and killed them for treating her friend like that.

Yanmei nodded a little.

"Btw, what is your hobby?" Nixxi changed the topic.

"I love books. I always feel connected to books" Yanmei said with a smile .

"I also read books sometime. Btw, I didn't think you likes books" Nixxi said.

"Then what did you think what I liked?" Yanmei asked with curiously.

"I don't know. I thought you like hiking on the hill, jumped in the sea to save strangers" Nixxi said with teasing smile.

They both laughed.

Yanmei teased "That is not my hobby but I still do that for time pass" she continued " Btw, I am a bookworm. So if you ever think about gift something to me, gift me any books. I love all books".

"All books?" Nixxi arched a brow.

"Only fiction books" Yanmei corrected.

Waiter brought their food to their table.

"I am drooling. It's look testy" Yanmei said excitedly.

Nixxi chuckled "Then we should start".

Both girls eat their food and praised it.

Nixxi felt another vampire's presence and she was alert.

When she looked at the door, her mouth was hang opened.

Yanmei looked at her friend's shocked face and followed her gaze. She was surprised to see her boss stand at the door. His gaze met her's and a smirked appeared on his face.
