The serious conversation Meilin was having with her subordinates were interrupted as An Cheng, Su Lin's assistant requested her presence in a currently held meeting. She furrowed her brows upon hearing the request.
She handed the files to Chyou before heading to the meeting leaving Cheng behind.
She pushed open the doors and walked in to the conference room. Her pump heels echoed in the room screaming authority. She sat in the vacant chair crossing her legs idly.
The atmosphere turned dense upon her arrival. The earlier lively meeting died the moment her domineering presence filled the room.
The silence was broken as one of the directors mustered up his courage to speak up,"I hope you know why you are here?"

The unusual knock on the door disturbed the silence she was immersed in. She waited for it to die down as she leisurely sipped a glass of wine.

Mei slowly closed her eyes and patiently waited for the knock to stop as she savored the remnants of wine inside her mouth. The silence crept back in as the dissonant knock drew to a halt. Click! Her eyes shot open upon hearing the sound. 'Someone just picked the lock'. She grabbed her phone to check the visitor outside.

At the thought of what he just did resurfaced on his mind he turned his head away in remorse. He stood up and texted,'Done.' He stared outside the balcony into the endless darkness.

As Mei stared right into his eyes, he held his breath. Silence engulfed the room for a moment. "Let me go. I don't want to see you even for a moment." said Mei. "I will give you sometime to recover.
