The Veracity

41. A casual hook up

"Finally, it's done," I said after reviewing the last file and keeping it away, not having an assistant sucks but thanks to the board of council I was able to have a temporary assistant.

It has been weeks since my last encounter, with Kexing and Zhishu and till now there has been no contact from then the DNA report will also take a few more days.

My life seemed to have just stopped at a place, it wasn't going anywhere, I feel so suffocated by living a life like this, a messed up mind, missing memory, and fucked up live life everything is a mess.

Recently I have even stopped involving Wen Qing with my business because I didn't want to trouble her anymore, I have already hurt her before I don't want to do that anymore, she has a life of her own and I wish that she gets the best of her life.

A knock on my door interrupted me, "Yes?"

"Mr. Xiao" A-yuan, my temporary assistant entered the room, A-yuan had a bright smile on his face, he had a baby face and was quite young as well.

"Yes."

"Mr. Xiao it's time for the business dinner."

I nodded, recently eating and sleeping have become a very difficult task for me, and socializing with others was an even tougher task, but for my work's sake, I have to meet the other people and establish connections.

So at once I got up from my place put over my coat and went out.

Once we arrived at the meeting we met with the man named Mr. Zhang, he had come to the meeting with his daughter.

The way his daughter had dressed up and the way he was smiling at me I had a very bad feeling about this

Because I knew that this business meeting had just turned into a match-making meeting.

I mentally cried tears of blood but still maintained a professional smile on my face.

"Welcome Mr. Zhan I have heard a lot about you," Mr. Zhang said as we sat down,"Meet her this is my daughter Andrea."

"Hello Mr. Xiao," she said with a sweet honey-laced voice, her voice was sweet enough to give me diabetes.

"Hello Ms. Zhang, I have heard a lot about you, but now seeing you in person I must say that the rumors were not false."

She blushed and smiled at me while her father seemed happy as well, words of flattery work wonders.

Our dinner went very smoothly we covered all the important topics.

"How have you been Mr. Xiao?" He asked,  "I heard about your parents and I felt sorry for you...we wanted to meet you but it seemed that you just disappeared."

I smiled, "Thanks for the concern, Mr. Zhang, I was too sad that I decided to take a break it won't be good to work when I was so unstable, but now I am back"

"It must have been hard for you to handle everything alone right?" Mrs. Zhang said.

I didn't reply to her I just smiled, how can I tell her that I was never alone, I was with someone I loved very much someone with whom I wanted to stay forever, Someone who made me feel like he was my family.

Someone I wished to see again.

What!?

 With a bang, I kept the fork I was holding on the table startling the other two.

"Mr. Xiao, Are you okay." Mr. Zhang asked, I drank some water.

"I am sorry, I am okay."

"You must be tired, Mr. Xiao"  Andrea said.
