GEGE PAY ATTENTION TO ME

3

I couldn't sleep for a week thinking about that guy. My system couldn't dare to accept the fact that he felt nothing for me, not even admiring my face nor telling me how rich I am.

He was different.

I got used to people coming at me, giving me lots of attentions. Attentions that I didn't get from my own parents.

My father's secretary, and now is also known as my secretary. I asked him to look up a background check on Mr. Jiang’s family.

I am not doing this for any greedy revenge just because he ignored me. I just wanted to know them, him.

I found out that Xiao Zhan is an adopted child of the Jiang’s. He was found on the side of the road when he was a kid and unfortunately his parents died from an accident.

Xiao Zhan is popular in school, even on his work place. He is friendly and outgoing, unlike me.

He stayed abroad for almost three years to pursue his study in Creative and Visual Arts. Other than these basic info there are nothing more.

”What about his previous and present relationships? Why are they not written here?” I furrowed my eyebrows as I flip the pages.

Secretary Cao, ”Unfortunately, sir. There are no traces about his previous relationships.”

I started to feel suspicious. Something is off about this man otherwise he didn't have to conceal it.

Secretary Cao curved his lips upward, finding the situation amusing, ”Do you want me to further investigate, sir?”

I sighed and throw the files on the table, I press my forehead and stated, ”No need. You are dismissed.”

The latter bowed down and exited while the grin on his face remained unchanged.

Xiao Zhan. You are acting innocent and well behaved man in front of your family but you can never fool me.

Who knows what you’ve been doing on abroad? Have you been fooling around? I think so. Someone who has a face and heart of an angel can be quite a devil too.

Later that day I went out to drink coffee at the nearby coffee shop. It was three blocks away from my company, really good spot for customers!

”One grande of Iced Americano please.” I ordered at the counter.

The cashier repeated my order, ”One grande of Iced Americano coming up.”

I didn't wait too long, the staffs here have known me as the CEO of WUJI company. I’ve been visiting at the same coffee shop since then. They can even memorized my order even without me saying it.

When I got my coffee, I examined the place to find a seat. I saw someone who I didn't expect to see.

Xiao Zhan was sitting on the corner of the shop, he wasn't alone though. Right in front of him was a man, around my age.

He was giggling and laughing like a complete idiot. It's not my intention to spy on him but I may have seated on the table behind them.

”How come you can’t make it?” sadness was written on his voice.

I simply sipped on my coffee, still listening to their conversation. To be honest I'm not someone who would eavesdrop yet look at me, the things I do for who knows what.

The man replied, ”I have a dinner to attend, babe. But I can make up for it tomorrow.”

I choked on my coffee when I heard him called ”Babe.” They’re on a relationship? He’s dating?

As suspected, he really is dating. As someone like him who would come around and fool should really hide the traces of his relationships.

I groaned in annoyance, what am I thinking? It’s not that he’s cheating on me or something.

Xiao Zhan cheerfully replied, ”Okay! You promised, alright? You can’t take it back.”

The latter chuckled and reached out to hold his hands. ”A promise is a promise.” He planted a peck on his hand.

I quickly got up without turning back, I am not staying here long just to hear more of their disgusting conversation. I feel cringed.

”Have a great day, sir.” The staff said right after I stepped my feet on the ground.

”Mn.”

Without further a do I went back to my company looking like a grumpy man. My brows were knitted together and I was stumping my feet so hard.

I don’t know why this is affecting me so bad. If he’s in a relationship I shouldn't feel annoyed, but I do. I shouldn't feel cheated, but I do.

Perhaps, despite of my questionable thoughts about him, I did liked him a bit?

I groaned in irritation once again. How come I have shown interests to someone like him? This is utterly ridiculous!

For someone like me who had never been inlove for the rest of my 22 years, why must my heart choose someone who’s happily taken?

The sad truth is so many people are inlove and not together and so many people are together but not inlove.

Why must the world be cruel and unfair?
