E.X.ing (Luhan Fanfic)

Starting

January 2016, the weather is deadly cold. Considering the low temperature of this friday morning, it's such an unfriendly weather to start the work. Today is a lazy day because tomorrow is a gathering day of Hanlim Food Corp. which means a free holiday from the company. Everybody wants to locked themselves inside the warm room and continues their sleep, but not for this one girl, Lixian.

Early in the morning she already arrives at her office, sitting comfortably infront of her laptop, scrolling down the homepage of her Facebook. It's her daily ritual to start the day, stalking over her overly-handsome ex, Luhan.

"He looks so gorgeous, but he is still a jerk" Lixian whispers softly to herself as she stares at Luhan's new profile picture. Slowly she cringes her face as she reads the comments for his update. Those damn comments complimented him and those 100++ comments came from girls' account.

"Of course, popularity is his shadow, following him everywhere he goes" Lixian talks sarcastically but there is a little bang deep inside her heart. It's her jealousy.

Their relationship started with a hate first. Lixian always got the first place in class, but when she got into the same class with Luhan, she defeated by him. Luhan got the first place and he started the bully thing to her. She hated him so much that time but one event changed everything.

"Damn those sluts, I don't care anymore" She yells to the laptop screen as she closes the internet application. A sigh leaves her lips as she throws her back to the pillowy chair. She closes her eyes frustratedly as she takes a deep breath to calm herself down. It always ended up like this, feeling the nausea because of the stomach flipped and of course feeling the emptiness because of the fast beat of the heart. Lixian always called it 'The Pre-Stalking Sickness'. Eventhough she knows it will end up like this, she can't help stalking over Luhan.

It has been years since she last saw him. That time, their relationship was falling apart, they burried every dreams that they built together, and gave up on each other. But up until now, Lixian still remembers that moment, a moment that broke her heart over and over again.

"I hate him" Those words slip Lixian's lips, along with a painful sigh. Lixian actually confused about her feeling. Sometimes she feels like she is still in love with Luhan, but another times she feels like she wants to hit him with a truck. Pingping, her friend since highschool always said she is in a love-hate relationship with Luhan, but this is a one-sided. After that sentence, Pingping will give her a long lecture about how to move on from a man called Luhan.

Lixian kicks her feet randomly on the floor as she curses lowly to herself. She always feels mad everytime she remembers about Pingping's word. She hates it when Pingping or anybody else states she is not moving on yet. It feels like she loses the invisible battle.

"What are you doing?!" Suddenly she hears a familiar loud shout and immediately sits straight on her chair. Eyes look to the man infront of her and lips form an awkward smile.

"Good morning" Lixian talks as she looks down.

It's Mr. Huang, the corporate manager of Research and Development department. He is still young, the age gap with Lixian is 4 years. He once liked Lixian and confessed, but Lixian rejected him. Start from that day, Mr. Huang really hates her and that was the reason why Lixian never got a promotion, she is stucked in her supervisor position.

"Such a useless worker" Mr. Huang talks coldly at her and leaves to his separated office. When he slams the door and disappears completely, Lixian starts mocking him.

"Useless? That shitty division manager you promoted last month is more useless than me" Lixian talks as she crosses her arm.

Mr. Huang really is a spiteful man who couldn't differentiate the personal life and the professional one. Lixian has a great performance at office but he always promotes another person because his love being rejected by Lixian. Honestly, Lixian really knows that he wants to expel her but he can't. There is a bigger power behind Lixian's back. It's Luhan's father's power, the CEO of Hanlim Food Corp.
