                     Elijah's POV
I finally reached Chenshang in no time,  traffic wasn't all that bad today. I'm telling you traffic in London is much worse.

I entered the building after parking my car in the underground lot and saw no receptionist behind the costumer care's desk.

That's really odd the workers here aren't slackers.

I pressed the elevator button for the upper-level floors and waited for 30 seconds and the double metal door split apart opening.

I saw a black-haired woman adding more lipstick in her already bloodied colored lips in the elevator wall mirror.

I entered the elevator her gaze fell on me, she immediately stopped putting on the lipstick "Which floor?" I asked her and she gave a flirty smirk.

"Hi handsome, my name is Peggy Taylor" She shot out her hand for me to shake I looked at the hand then her face.

"That's not what I asked. I asked which floor you're going to" I say in a clearly uninterested tone.

"I was actually gonna get off but here's my card so call me" She reached into her purse taking out a card she put it inside the little patch pocket on the chest area.

She tried to leave but I immediately grabbed her arm.

"Changed your mind, heh," The strange lady said cockily making me shake my head at her.

"I definitely won't be calling so here's your card" I remove her tacky looking card from the patch pocket, handing it back to her.

She stared at me in with widening eyes obviously embarrassed.

Then got off the elevator looking at me once more before the elevator doors closed.

The metal box dinged when it reached the destined floor, I got off the lift making my way down the hall to the last office on the floor.

I didn't even bother knocking because I knew when Lia is really focused on something she gives her undivided attention to the task.

Just her in her own little bubble of concentration.

I opened the door quietly trying hard not to make any sound.

The first thing I saw was my best friend with one knee bent holding up a ring-shaped candy.

"What flavor is that?" Lia pointed at the candy licking those luscious lips of hers that I can't seem to get enough pleasure kissing her.

"Watermelon, wait you're dating Elijah!?" Logan replied calmly before raising her voice slightly clearly stunned by what Lia had said previously that I, unfortunately, didn't hear.

Lia nodded adorably smiling sheepishly. I'm still going to imagine I saw her blushing.

'What's wrong with dating me?' I asked myself.
