2. Rendezvous

Her eyes flutter like butterfly wings as she looks at the man.

Roulan felt a pressure in her chest. She was already really tensed about the meeting, but seeing this man in front, she felt even more nervous!

He is absolutely gorgeous! A notably handsome man. His face those beautiful thick eyebrows, his basked tanned skin tone. He is terrifically beautiful!!

She can't help but gasps out some air.

As he entered the air in the lounge filled with a strict spine-straightning aura.

Assistant Bai gestures the attendant to leave. The attendant left while closing the door.

Roulan calms herself down and tries to maintain a good composure.

"Please take your seat." Leng XiaoRong said. Roulan sits down quietly.

"Good afternoon sir, I am Roulan D'Souza's secretary. Actually D'Souza got involved in some family issue, so he couldn't make it. He's extremely sorry for this. He already prepared the design you wanted." Saying she opened the file and handed to him.

Resting his chin on his knuckles, Leng XiaoRong sweeps his gaze through the papers.

"So, what issue you mentioned with D'Souza?"

Roulan glances at assistant Bai and looks at XiaoRong, "Yes, actually it happens like this, his wife's suddenly going through labor. She needs him now."

XiaoRong hummed with an unreadable smile on his face as he looked at the designs.

XiaoRong raises his brow, " Well, his work needs him too! Isn't it? Wife can deliver baby under experts guidance in hospital. It's not like he will be any help there. "

Roulan looks at him with questionable gaze. 'Is he sane !? How could he say that to a man whose wife is going through labor!.... Well it's right he doesn't really have anything to do during his wife's labor... But, even though...!!'

Roulan couldn't figure out whether to support her boss or not.

Glancing at her dolled up clueless eyes, he smiles sweetly.

" What ? Am I wrong ? He should have known about priority. "

Saying Leng XiaoRong turns to Bai Hewang, "Here note this one down And call D'Souza to meet me tomorrow to discuss the design, I need him few changes to do. "

Bai Hewang nods," Alright sir."

He then bows down a bit to his ears and whispered," Sir it's time for your lunch. We have a meeting in an hour."

He hummed at his assistant and gestures him to leave.

Roulan looks at them with a confused look. Now that his assistant took that file, should she wait for it to be returned or should she leave !

He smiles," Here please have some, Ms. Roulan. " As he said he pushed the tray of snacks to her. There are few cupcakes and macrons kept, which is in nice pastel shades.

Well who doesn't like colourful deserts.

But she can't just jump on the plate, infront her boss' boss !!

Seeing his decent smiling face, she smiles at him nervously.

So... she should wait for his assistant to return with the file right?

D'Souza should have sent Mona here, who's skilled at these. As secretary her work is mostly managing the accounts and taxes, not to mention it's her first time in a meeting like this.

She let put a sigh secretly and takes a macron to eat.

As she eats her eyes can't help but glance at the man sitting in front. Why is he sitting here...? Shouldn't he leave ?

Well, now that she is looking at him... It seems like, she has met him before. Where ? He is just too handsome to forget.

Oh! Wait!!

She gasped and just about to utter something but stopped herself quickly.

She sighs, even though she remembered about it , that doesn't mean he to remember about that meeting. She better not embarrass herself!!

"You want to say something?" his water like fresh voice sounds.

"Uh, actually it's nothing." She smiles in composure ," Then... should I stay here sir?" she asks as lightly as possible.

XiaoRong's eyes drifts behind his spectacles as he stares at her.

He remains silent for few seconds as he watches her holding a half bitten macron.

"That's your will to decide Ms. Roulan. As we're already done with our formal discussion. "

Blood rushed to her plump cheeks in embarrassment as she bit her lower lip.

Her big doe eyes grew a bit bigger, as she quickly flutters her big lashes.

"Uh, right. Then I'll be leaving now, sir." She gets up and bows to him. And with small steps she quickly leaves there by making as minimal commotion as possible.

His gaze follows her as she leaves the door. A glint appears on his eyes.

It's refreshing around her.... and he enjoys it.

He let his body drown in the couch and rest his head on the board. As a soothing smile appears on his lips he closes his eyes on his sweet rendezvous. As he remembered his first meeting with this lady.
