9. She's not an easy woman

"Have you eaten your lunch?" Jacyn frowned as she read a message from an anonymous number. She put away her mobile phone without replying. It rang again after five seconds indicating a new message.

"It's me, Liam. Can we have lunch together?" Why should they eat lunch together? They do not have that kind of relationship.

"Young Master Lee, I am at work. I'm not like you, you own your time and a boss at work. I can't date at this time of the day." She replied to him. It's been a week since she started her job as the PR Director. She's still learning the ins and outs of the department.

Liam was in the middle of the meeting. The head of the accounting department was explaining something when Jacyn's reply came. He excitedly read her message and smiled.

The employees inside the board meeting cannot believe what they just saw. The cold and domineering CEO who seldom smiled was now grinning from ear to ear. Young Master Lee who always worked hard and had implemented a no using of mobile phone during meeting hours was now on the phone while someone was discussing.

"Date? I'm merely asking you to eat lunch together. You really want a date, huh? Let's meet tonight, then." He put down his phone just to see that all the employees present in the meeting were all looking at him.

"Please continue," he commanded coldly, ignoring their questioning gazes.

Jacyn's phone rang again. She's annoyed while reading his message. What was he trying to imply? That she's the one who wanted a date? No way, she's not an easy woman. She decided to just ignore him and let him think what he wanted to think.

She concentrated on the paperworks submitted by the whole department. Some of those were waiting to be reviewed, others were for her information. Some of the files were about advertisement contracts and movies they were about to invest in. One that caught her attention was a historical movie - a heavy and intense drama. As one of the major investors of this movie, they were given the chance to choose the lead actress. The chosen lead actress will also be their brand ambassador for the next two years. It will be a big break for anyone who will be chosen. The company will also benefit from this as this movie was expected to be a hit on the big screen because it will be directed by an award winning director.

She looked at the other information regarding this and noticed that the audition for the lead characters was happening today.

"Lin, please come here. I would like you to do something." Jacyn called her secretary Lin Zia, an ordinary, nerdy looking girl who always wore eyeglasses.

"What can I do for you, Ms. Lou?" Lin meekly asked her. She dared not look her directly in the eye. She felt that her new boss was an arrogant young lady who got everything she wanted.

"Investigate who's gonna be in the audition this afternoon and who will handle the selection. Please get the information discreetly." Jacyn instructed her.

"Right away, Ms. Lou," she answered attentively. Jacyn felt like she could trust this girl. She may be a nerd but Jacyn thought highly of her. She thought that this girl was more capable than what she looked like. She's not like the other girls who only knew how to fix their makeup.

Her phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller and saw an unknown phone number which she recognized as Liam's. She hadn't saved his number, she felt that they weren't related at all so there was no need for that.

"I want all the information before the audition starts," she said dismissing her so she could get the information fast.

"Young Master Lee," she acknowledged the caller.

"Hi to you, too Ms. Lou." He playfully answered her, stating the fact that she didn't even greet him. "Why did you not answer me?"

"What's your question?" She asked, completely disregarding their previous text message exchange. "Please go straight to the point, Young Master. I don't have the time for this."

"Let's meet tonight, 7PM at the Golden Plaza Hotel." He ended the call, not giving her a chance to say no.

She cursed at him silently. She had no time for this, she had no time to date or to fall in love. When she decided to come back, she wanted to take her revenge on all the people who hurt her. For her, time was of the essence. She will catch her parents' murderer. She will get her revenge for her ex-boyfriend's betrayal. She'll bring her ex-boyfriend's mistress to her doom. She will get back the Lou Group from her Uncle's hands. She will get everything that's supposed to be hers.

Falling in love was her least priority as of the moment. That's why she couldn't give Liam a chance. Yes, he's handsome and sexy, a super charming and gorgeous man. Any girl would drool when they see someone like him. She was no exception, she could only adore what a perfect specimen he was. But she couldn't fall in love this time. For her, it was very unfair for her parents. She couldn't prioritize her happiness just yet. She waited for more than ten years for this opportunity to come. She would not make the same mistake of falling in love and be broken in the process.

She looked at the time, she had at least an hour before the audition took place. If her hunch was right, the movie was chosen by his Uncle. If she's right, then there's a catch behind all of this. She decided to go to the audition area and do the selection personally.

"Ms. Lou, the audition will be at the Golden Plaza Hotel at 1:00 PM this afternoon. The selection will be attended by the PR Team A Head, Ms. Qing. It was said that the movie was approved by the president himself." Secretary Lin informed her just after ten minutes.

She was right in both of her gut feelings. First was that the movie was chosen and approved by her Uncle Wang Lou. Secondly, Lin Zia was a capable secretary.
