Everything i want

15. The Golden opportunity

The next day I woke up early, happy and excited that I got the license to love him from both families. I picked the best suit for today and groomed myself to be the perfect man Zhang could ever see. I reached the office without losing a bit of excitement and heaven may have already picked me as their favorite, I saw him before the elevator.

The sight of this man, his handsome fair face which always bearing a serious look, the sharp eyes which never wander around, his red lips which never curl up unless he is with his two brothers, it always made my heart tremble. Like a magnet, he always pulls me near to him but no matter how near I am, It never satisfied my crying heart. The heart which I gave to him.

I sneakingly took my stand beside him. He didn't give me a look, faced straight to the closed elevator doors.
But give up was never in my dictionary. Ignoring me was always his weapon so now I cast my counter weapon. Like I did back at his office, I started staring at him. It was the happiest thing for me. But I could feel how it was making him uncomfortable. I mean who could escape from my intense gaze. But towards him it was always packed with all my affection I have for him, only towards him. The victory was mine, he finally gave up his attitude and passed me a look. A glare to be exact.

"Xiao ge, good morning."

I smiled. But neither my smile nor my greeting was returned. Before I could say anything the elevator opened and he entered first. I followed him and stood with him. He still had that long face.

"Why are you acting so cold. We have already a good relationship right? after we went to the art gallery?"

"..."

"Still ignoring me...?"

I stood in front of him, my one hand on the bar in the lift and the other- don't worry I should still respect his personal space so I kept my hands with me. But the gap between us was greatly reduced, enough to provoke him.

"What are you doing?"

"You don't look at me. So I'm looking at you."

"Nonsense."

"Oh! I'm talking nonsense because you don't talk to me. Why you always have a cold face for me?"

"You want me to talk?"

"Yes."

"The file on the goods we have in our possession. Complete information. I want it on my desk in two days."

That's how you dig your own grave.

"Xiao ge. You better tell me to kill myself. It's too much work. I won't be able to finish it."

We have reached our floor and the lift opened. Before getting off he said;

"Talk less. I can give you 3 days."

Cold. Cruel. Stone-hearted.

All my excitement was put out by Xiao ge. And the first thing I saw in front of our department was, Pangzi freely flirting with Yuncai.

"Pangzi. Do Zhang Qishan give you a salary to flirt with everyone here?"

"Wuxie. That's cold."

"What? Do I need to be sweet with everyone?"

"Right. You are only sweet when you are with certain someone."

He was mocking me at my face.

"Pangzi.. Do you wanna die?"

"No. No. We are best friends no. Let's go inside. Let's work for the salary they give us. Come."
