Stealing Your Heart

Standing at the entrance, she looked up at the magnificent building and curled her lips into a cold smile.

How stupid of me to believe in every word he said… I have always trusted in him wholeheartedly, loving him with all my heart, but look what I get at the end?

“Ms. Lin.” Nan Cheng approached her. “You’re here ahead of time.”

Zong Yanxi looked professional in her workwear, with her hair styled into a bun. “I came early because our company values our collaboration greatly. Hopefully, there will be a fruitful negotiation today.”

“This way, please.” Nan Cheng made a gesture for her to enter.

Zong Yanxi made her way into the building. In an instant, a lot of familiar faces came into sight. It seemed like not much had changed though a year had passed since the day she left. However, she knew everything was no longer the same. She was not her old self anymore, and her state of mind had changed as well.

“Is President Jiang married yet?” she asked casually.

It took a moment before Nan Cheng responded, trying to sound euphemistic. “He is still single.”

“Oh.” Zong Yanxi seemed unconcerned.

After they came out of the elevator, Nan Cheng led her all the way to the meeting room and pushed open the door. “Ms. Lin, please take a seat. President Jiang will be here in a minute.”

Zong Yanxi slightly nodded and entered the meeting room. She settled down in the seat and placed her documents on the table, waiting for Jiang Mohan’s arrival.

Right then, a secretary brought her a glass of water.

“Thanks.” She took a sip of it, then casting her eyes over the empty meeting room as she put the glass down.

“President Jiang.”

Zong Yanxi straightened up the moment she heard the sound of the secretary greeting Jiang Mohan from outside the meeting room.

She could hear his familiar footsteps coming closer and closer. Her heart stirred at his familiar scent, but she managed to collect herself.

Nan Cheng followed suit as Jiang Mohan made his way to the other side of the long conference table and took a seat opposite Zong Yanxi.
