Cool, there was a special car for her, a luxury car.

Lima was carrying her big ugly backpack, she threw it to the cashmere mat at the back seat, got on the car under the driver’s gaze.

She was trying to talk to the driver, but he was so competent that didn’t say anything to her, the atmosphere in the car was depressing.

The car was in the center of the city now, stopped in front of building which you could never see the top of it. Glass on the window was shining, it was a bit dazzling. Lima looked up, trying to see if the characters on the building was made of gold, but she had to get in in that the driver kept pushing her.

Just like what happened in the novel, all the bosses in high place were at the top floor of the building. Sometimes Liam wondered, what if there was a power cut,what would happen to those people who were sitting in the office all day.

The lift arrived at 50th floor, Lima now was standing in front the door of president’s office, she thought for a while and knocked the door heavily.

"Come in."

A clear and polite voice came out from the office. The voice was not the same voice as yesterday, that voice was more indifferent and more……

Lima opened the door and got in. The office was empty, a man was sitting on the chair, frowning, there were some files in his hand, the other man with glasses was standing next to him and pointing at the files.

They saw her coming, the assistant who was standing looked up, and he froze, his finger was no long moving on the paper, the one who was sitting slapped his hand away, he seemed shocked as well when he saw Lima.

The moment when Lima looked into his eyes, she recognized that the man on chair was the man at the banquet last night.

Awkward.

She was afraid.

It was just yesterday, she held the man and told him how she felt, she even nearly kissed him, and now she was found out and got here.

"Excuse me, are you Lima?" His assistant with glasses pushed his glasses again and again.

How can this tomboy be the same person as the one in the video last night? They were totally different! He was trying to find a cloth to clean up his glasses so that he could look at her clearly.

He took a close look.

Short hair to her ear, loose T-shirt that with some letters on it, baggy casual trousers, a pair of board shoes, and a huge ugly black backpack on her back, he really doubted himself for finding the wrong person.

But the tomboy looked so shy right now…… No, I would say she was afraid or awkward or some other feelings rather than shy.

Lima bit the bullet and said, "Hi, I ……uh my name is ……are……are you looking for me?"

"Yes."the man on chair put the files on the desk, and interrupted her halting speech.

Though she felt guilty, she was still standing proud and straight, waiting for his words.

"Lima." It was the first that the man called her name, "I remembered I breaking your camera, how did you took the pictures and videos back to your office?"

Lima’s heart was pounding, she was not ready! How could he just ask her like this, just came straight to the car point.

She forced herself to smile, "Ha……haha, there was care in this kind of machine, it stores data of pictures and videos, you pushed me and I fell on the ground yesterday, I picked it up at that moment."

It was a simple answer, but it made the man behind the desk become grim.

"That’s it?" He asked.

"Yeah."Lima forced herself to reply him in a loud voice, but no matter how hard she tried she still seemed week.

A familiar sneer came out from his mouth, Lima felt bad about it.

"Okay, now let’s talk about the YC Newspaper."

Lima felt worse when she heard what he said.

"What do you want to talk about?" She was trying to stay calm.

This uneasy feeling built a wall in her heart, she was no more embarrassed or guilty, now she looked like she had good manners.

The assistant stood aside raised his eyebrow, stared at Lima secretly.

"What did people say about us?" The man asked with nonchalance,looking through the files casually.

Lima was praying to god in her mind, why he is so direct?

"Lucky to have you here, they are not so positive." She knew now, Sunny was one of the leading actresses, but since she became an actress, she didn’t do anything to force people. This time, she was totally different, she was mighty, it’s a no-brainer that she got backup.

"There is an common sense in the circle, you don’t report anything about Jude Pei, it’s not their fault that you don’t know." The assistant said in a calm voice. Lima stared at him.

It seemed that this man had something, he can make the circle had a common sense, but if he told the truth, it was YCN’s fault with no doubt.

But……

"I sincerely apologize to Pei, and I will try my best to make up for your loss. And uh, this scandal happened because of me, it was my responsibility, I hope that you can let YC Newspaper off. Please."

She said seriously, she really want the impact of this scandal reduce to minimum.

And, unexpectedly, the man didn’t talk about the scandal with her, he said about another topic.

"Why are you so serious today?"

Eh?

Lima forced herself not to talk back, she gave him a gentle smile which make her looked as elegant as yesterday. "Sure I should be, we are talking about you."

"Alright, how will you make up my loss then?" He looked at Lima with an expression of teasing.

"Em, do you have any idea? What do you want me to do?" Lima was nervous.

He smiled, his handsome face looked so charming: "I still remember your words last night, you told me that you love me right?"

Hardly had his voice faded away did Lima froze, so did his assistant.

He knew Lima because his boss asked for the cctv of the garden, he saw her in it, of courses didn’t know what had happened last know through a video clip.

It seemed the story had a huge amount of information.

Lima felt the wall in front of her was not thick enough, she felt embarrassed again.

She clapped her own face, how could she feel embarrassed so easily!

She blinked and said: "I think you were drunk yesterday, you remember it another way."

She blinked again, just like how she blinked when she lied to him that the necklace was her grandmother’s legacy.

The assistant with glasses laughed, she was a good liar.

He reminded her, "Miss Yu, there are independent monitoring equipment and recording equipment in the garden, we have proves."

Shit.

Lima laughed awkwardly and said: "Oh! Sorry, maybe I was the one who was drunk yesterday, I remember it another way."

Checkmate, the assistant shocked.

He looked at his boss and saw him moving his eyebrow, what he meant was clear, he thought Lima was interesting.

"Should I remind you what happened yesterday?" The man on chair said.

Lima took a deep breath, she was calm now.

"Thanks, but it’s not necessary for you to do that. No offense but could you please tell me what’s the relationship between my impoliteness and the compensation.

Silence.

For a while.

She thought the silence was specially for her.

The man finally talked, every word he said confused Lima. He was sitting on the chair, looking up to Lima, he looked so arrogant that nobody can compare with him.

"You said you love me, Lima, I can offer you a chance to do that."

Though he was smiling, his attitude was like talking to a beggar, kind but with pity, and a little bit disdain.

Lima put his right hand on her back, she was touching her own finger and thinking what he meant.

But he didn’t give her much time to consider, he explained his words for her, "Just give yourself to me and I will help you."

That was not the mood when you were talking about business and corporation. He looked at her like she was some goods on the shelf, he wanted to own her, with curiosity and desire.

His assistant frowned, he became more nervous when he heard what Lima said, "Boyfriend and girlfriend?"

The answer was right in the man’s laughter.

She was speechless, she felt like she was in a novel.

Not boyfriend and girlfriend of course, there are bunch of words suitable for this kind of relationship, you want it to be serious, romantic and ambiguous, you can call them lovers. More scientific, friends with benefits. More realistic, some people would call her whore.

"Surprised? Huh?" The man asked.

Lima built an thicker wall in her heart, she was strong enough to stay smiling to him after knowing what he wanted, she showed him her dimples, that what she should’ve done when she came here.

The assistant pushed his glasses again, though she still wearing a T-shirt, casual trousers, she looked like a boy, the moment she smiled, she became another person.

Liam laughed, "I’m surprised. Some said, a man’s value is equal to 7 soaps, 9 pens, 1 nail, 2200 matches, about 27 franc. I have never known that I’m so worthy."

He ignored Lima, looking at his fancy watch and said, "I will fly to City S 3 hours later."

"There is no other way?" Lima wanted to make sure.

He looked at her, sneering, "Do you really think you can save your YC Newspaper on your own? Lima?"
