Lover [Book 1]

15

"Aye Shaking! You don't know how much of a brat Yuxin is!" I grunted, as I maneuver the wheel. "And you know what, she's actually afraid of ghosts!" I am currently driving my Lambo on my way to work. This secretary/personal assistant/all-around helper is getting on my nerves.

"You already said that."

"Have I told you that we slept on the floor?"

"Yes!" Shaking exclaimed. "Why are you blabbering so much about Yuxin?"

"I am?"

"Yes! Yes, you are! Are you falling for her?"

"Falling?! Me?! For Liu Yuxin?" Maybe? "No Xie Keyin! Over my dead sexy body!" Why would I fall for someone like Liu Yuxin? Someone so extravagantly beautiful, and abundantly hotter than flaming cheetos — which is my favorite chips. —

"Are you sure?"

Why do I feel this way? Why am I hella hesitant about this? "Sure-r than sure-st!"

"Jiaqi, Jiaqi, Jiaqi." Keyin mumbled over the phone. "Take care, I'm gonna go to work as well."

"Bye!"

"Goodbye Mrs. Liu!"

Before I could even complain, she had already ended the line. It's totally ridiculous; how Keyin presumes that way when I'm clearly not falling for Xin. I kinda have feelings for Xueer, still. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm trying to gain vengeance.

It's a win-win situation for us. Xin for Yu Yan, and Xueer for myself. But you know what, as time goes by; My feelings for Xueer fades itself. It dramatically turns into a revenge-type-deal. Sometimes I wonder why I don't feel any sort of hatred towards Xin. Kong Xueer left me for her, yet I don't feel any pang of anger. Maybe because she gave my Lambo back, and she provided so much things for me. We'll never know, unless we dig deep inside my little heart.

My phone suddenly rang, and it travelled through my earphones. Damn, I never find my ringtone so irritating, till now. That cliché marimba beat from Apple.

"Heck you, what?!" I answered, without knowing who it was. I'm pretty sure it's Xie Keyin again. She calls a lot these days.

"Heck me huh?"

I widened my eyes, as I realize this isn't Keyin at all. Her voice was enough to send chills down my spine. "Liu Yuxin!"

"Where are you? You're 2 minutes late."

120 seconds and she won't let it slip? "I'm on my way ma'am."

"Be presentable, we're having lunch at Purify."

Holy cow, I'm on my jeans! My shirt was plain-white and it had stains of coffee from my breakfast this morning. I didn't even apply any sort of cosmetics today, and my hair is a frizzy-mess as well! "I'm not sure about that!" I faked a cough, jeez. "Actually, I'm pretty simple today Xin. Shirt and jeans, combo!"

"Simple my ass."

"Yeah, your ass is kinda simp-"

"Shut up, meet me at my office. We'll go to the mall."

Shopping? "Your treat?"

"Let me think," aye Liu Yuxin: The greatest cheapskate.
