Third Person POV

"Everyone gather around and welcome our new CEO and his fiancé."

Hai Kuan announces Yibo and Li Yang's arrival while opening the meeting room doors. All eyes focus on the doors opening, revealing Yibo and Li Yang walking in while holding hands. Claps and bows could be heard and seen all around the room. In front of the meeting room, they stood tall and elegant. Yibo had a stoic look and cold dementor, while Li Yang gives a warm smile and bright vibe.

"Welcome, Wang Yibo and Zhou Li Yang." Hai Kuan said as he shakes Yibo's hand, trying to keep up his expression.

"Thank you Hai Kuan Ge." Yibo simply said.

"It's nice to finally meet everyone." Li Yang tried to lift the small tension between the Wang Brothers.

Everyone begins to introduce themselves, as well as chat with the CEO and his fiancé slash personal assistant. While tending everyone else, Li Yang took a glance and scan around the area. Li Yang couldn't believe her eyes when the last person introduced themselves was.

Some minutes before...

"Sean, Bro, your face looks pale, you alright ?"

"I'm good. I rushed in this morning, my alarm went off."

"Tough night ?"

"Yeah, I'll be in the bathroom for a bit."

Zhan excused himself from his colleagues, he couldn't believe what he had heard and seen back there in the meeting room. Sure Zhan had heard from Yuchen and Zhou Cheng about the rumor CEO of his branch. But, never in his guesses that it'll be Yibo, top off he's engaged. He should've believed it when Zhou Cheng had briefed him yesterday about today.


*Flashbacks*

'Cheng, tell me again, who's the rumored CEO ?'

'The second son of the Wang Family. Was rumored to have rebelled against the father, as he didn't wish to be the CEO. But 5 years ago, he came back and got engaged to his fiancé. After the father passed away, which was 3 months ago, he was chosen to be the next CEO along with his brother. Sounds like someone we know.'

'I know, but it's not him.'

'Zhan, the rumored chronologically matches the incident 5 years ago. It could be him, after all, he did leave without telling.'

'Cheng, there are many with the Wang surname. He just happened to have the same surname.'

*Flashback ends*


"Why does it have to be you? Why did you come back ?"

Zhan said as tears starts to flow. After everything that Zhan has been through, nothing hurts him more than Yibo's back and acted as if nothing happened. It withered his flowers more. Zhan clutches his heart when it pains him as he sat inside one of the bathroom stalls.

"Sean? Sean? You're good in there ?" Zhan's colleague called him from the door.

"Y-yeah I'm good, I'll be there in a minute." Trying not to sound as if he's crying, Zhan sends off his colleague back.

"You sure?"

"Yeah"

As if it's a signal after the footsteps died down. Zhan went out and washes off his face.

"Yibo, as much as I love you, you've left me no choice."

Saying his last words, Zhan went back to the meeting room.
