The secretary looked at Jingyan with a mockery look.
*Dare to call the president? Do you think I am a fool to believe you'd actually call the president?* The secretary thought
"Jingyan" the voice of Xuanmo ran through the hallway as the secretary turn around and indeed she saw her boss walking with his full might as his secretary Li Zeyan strolled behind him with two bodyguards behind him.
"You are here" Lu Jingyan said intentionally to make the secretary afraid
"Have you been here too late?" He asked upon getting there.
"Miss Jingyan" Li Zeyan greeted bowing
"Hello" she replied
"Do you bring the files?" He asked
"Here" she said as she handed it to Li Zeyan.
*Why do I need to be afraid? It's just her being a delivery girl* she thought again
"Who dare to stop you?" He finally asked. Lu Jingyan looked at the secretary as she smiled sweetly
"Don't worry. I already handled it" Lu Jingyan said
"Why don't you come upstairs Mrs Leng?" Leng Xuanmo said loud enough for those who are in the lobby to hear his voice
"Mrs. Leng?"
"Did I just hear Mrs Leng?"
"And it's not from anyone else but from the Magnus himself"
Lu Jingyan heard what they all said. And she secretly smiled. Although she haven't registered the marriage yet she was happy that she is now bearing the name Mrs Leng and it would be a slap on the face to those who looked down on her and she is happy. She looked at Leng Xuanmo and she felt an undeniable affection towards him as she studied his facial expression well as she smiled
"President Leng. I am so sorry for the indulgent. I fail to recognize Mrs Leng. I truly apologize" the secretary said. Leng Xuanmo pretended not to hear her words as he led Lu Jingyan towards the elevator to his office. He glanced at Li Zeyan to take care of her and he bowed slightly
At the other end of country c. In the deep forest stood a tall building no one knows existed. The building was silent and eery. One would be afraid at the sight of the building and the way It was erected with the Interior design of the building. No doubt that is the dark abyss of the blood shadow hall
Dim lights flickered across the concrete walls of the underground chamber. The air was damp, the silence thick except for the slow, deliberate footsteps echoing through the corridor. A single bulb swung above, casting shadows over the blood-streaked floor and the steel chair where the secretary once proud and composed now sat trembling, hands bound, eyes wide with fear.
Li Zeyan stood with his arms crossed, his black shirt dusted with the remnants of ash and grit from the long interrogation. His face betrayed no emotion, but the tension in his jaw told another story.
"You know what you did," Li Zeyan said coldly, leaning forward. "And you will pay for laying a finger on Madam Lu."
The heavy steel door creaked open.
Leng Xuanmo walked in.
Tall, silent, lethal.
His presence alone made the air thinner. He didn't spare the woman a glance as he came to stand beside Li Zeyan. His hands were behind his back, his expression blank-but his eyes... they burned.
"Is this the one who blocked her at the entrance?" His voice was deep, calm, but it cut like ice.
"Yes," Li Zeyan replied. "Refused her entry. Called her a pauper."
A deadly silence.
Then, Leng Xuanmo looked at the secretary for the first time.
She shivered.
