78 REUNION PART 2 (1/2)

Xue Lin shook her head. ”Never, these are my eyes. You will know when you see my childhood photos. I have the albums in Germany, at my house.”

”Then, there is no chance of any animal's eyes being transplanted in you.”

”Does that even work?!” Xue Lin was stunned. She didn't know much about modern technology and the new invention of medical science.

Ge Chen smirked and vaguely answered, ”Who knows? Anyway, you cannot have any animal's eyes. Their eyes shine at night and your shine only when you are extremely angry. This is unusual and you know what – it became one of my favorite things about you.” His calm look and dignified aura became more majestic under the moon.

Xue Lin blushed. She averted her gaze quickly. With her free hand, she scratched the back on her head and said, ”Let's head back. Aren't you looking for a job?”

Ge Chen paused before answering, ”I am and I think this is a perfect place for you to look for a job.”

”I'll start looking for a job from tomorrow.” Xue Lin agreed and hand in hand they went back to their bedroom. That night, though she tried to sleep, she couldn't. She recalled the time she was pushed against the wall and she shivered. She faced Ge Chen and stayed guarded till dawn.

”This is a sunny day.” Xue Lin walked and looked around the city. It had been a week since she came to B City. She got along with everyone in the house. The servants were very few in number and yet, she couldn't memorize all their names properly. Thus, she gave everyone nicknames based on their look and work.

Xue Lin went to the place where Ge Chen told her to go and she found herself in front of a huge office. She took out a small paper from her pocket and recited what was written. Then, she headed inside. The guard saluted her as she entered and the receptionist smiled professionally. She asked, ”Good morning, miss. How can I help you?”

Xue Lin became nervous and said, ”…I want to meet Louis Cruise.” She was reciting the name since she walked out of the house this morning.

The receptionist was surprised and the employees beside her also gave her a dubious look. The receptionist held a smile and asked, ”Miss, do you have an appointment?”

Xue Lin replied with a straight face, ”No, but if you tell him my name, he will meet me.”

The receptionist politely said, ”Miss, if you don't have an appointment, please leave. Many women like you come here and give us the same excuse.”

Xue Lin was puzzled. ”Huh? Did it sound like an excuse? If you have time to tell me please, why don't you just call him and find out what I said was true or wrong?”

”Our President is a busy person who doesn't have time for people like you.” The employees around them also looked at her with disgust.
