We Are Meant To Be

Chapter 243 Face to Face Conflict

No matter how lonesome you were, you also won't work with someone who was different from you. Jie Zhong's family finally showed its true colours. Christy Zhong now knew them very well and didn't even want to talk to them. How could she possibly cooperate with them?

"Sorry, I've nothing to say to you, goodbye," as Christy spoke, she hung up the phone immediately. Sometimes, what were the best not to mention, some people did not deserve a waste of breath and could even get you in trouble.

Christy prayed these people to get out of her life and not to disturb her any more. She never wanted to see them again for better or for worse.

James Feng and Ming Xiang worked hard in the office while Christy was in suffering.

It was time to knock off finally. But Christy clearly had to work overtime today. She needed to arrange a dinner for both of them.

"I have ordered for you. I will ask them to bring it here, is that OK?" asked Christy carefully. They two had the final word, so she had better make sure of it.

James did not speak, but looked up at Ming. He really talked a lot today, and didn't want to say anything more.

Ming certainly understood what James meant. So he nodded, "OK, fine."

Of course, Christy could see that what Ming said represented the will of James, let alone in his presence. If he really had a different opinion, he would certainly say it.

As soon as they gave her the instructions, she got right on it. But just then her cell phone rang. She looked down and found it was from Zhenxi. He's a damn nuisance! Of course, Christy couldn't answer the phone in front of them. She wanted to get out of the office.

Christy was certainly not a deep one. When she looked at the phone, her frown aroused James's suspicions.

Just as she was about to walked out of the office, James reached for her phone. He saw the number and turned the phone on handfree. Zhenxi Feng's seductive voice was heard: "Hey, little Christy, what are you up to?"

Christy's heart squeezed, there seemed to be no escape.

Anyway, it seemed that James knew everything about it. He could do whatever he like.

Christy's heart was cold. She didn't know why life had to be so agonizing. She had never asked too much, she just wanted a steady job.

This was the moment when Christy silently swore at Zhenxi. Did he want to part her from James? What good would that do? Did he do it in order to hurt James?

But what was the significance of it? Did he really think that he could tear James down? Just imagine, how could James have succeeded if he couldn't bare such a little pressure.

"Little Christy is working for me. What do you want with her?" asked James coldly. The atmosphere seemed to vibrate with tension.

Zhenxi never thought that things happened so quickly. Of course, he knew he had to face this scene sooner or later, he just didn't expect it would come so soon.

"Hey, brother, I think Secretary Zhong is alone, so I want to ask something about work," said Zhenxi uneasily.

Of course, he knew, at some deep level of his psyche, that he was very scared of James.

And James could also read Zhenxi's mind. In fact, this was not Christy's fault. Any woman around him was likely to face this situation.

But James didn't like anyone challenging Christy's authority. "Humph! Don't you know who she is? You'd better start behaving yourself," said he very coldly.

James really made Zhenxi sweat during the call. No matter what you do, you had to think twice before you act. Zhenxi knew clearly that provoking James won't do him any good.

"Yes, brother, I know," answered Zhenxi carefully. Now he no longer had a will for teasing Christy, he just wanted to end the conversation.

But James wanted to take the chance to pursue the tottering foe, "Don't forget to hand in your study notes and work summary tomorrow."

James completely ordered him to do it. However, that was normal. Over the years, Zhenxi knew this man's powers and methods very well. So he had always been a humble person.

Quite by accident today. So long as James applied a little pressure, Zhenxi would be utterly defeated.

The more Zhenxi was afraid of James, the more he couldn't express himself. Speaking of work, however, he could talk about it. But the written form was not so easy.

"Brother, I will report to you orally tomorrow. Is that alright?" asked Zhenxi, "I am busy with my study these days. Father asked me to learn more from you, so I have some questions to consult with you."

Of course, Zhenxi had to defend himself. He deliberately used Tianyue Feng as a shield. Anyway, James had to show respect for their elders.

James became more indignant and decided to punish him on all accounts. There were more solutions than difficulties.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Since he wanted to ask questions, James suddenly thought of a good idea, "OK. I'll be expecting you in the office tomorrow morning."

James was always brisk and businesslike. He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
