Hi I'm Married, But I'm Sleeping With My Boss

Three months later...

"Sorry does Miss Meilin Yee Zhao work here?" A woman dressed in brown print dress and had glasses riding on the bridge of her nose asked the lady at the reception hoping she'd answer.

"Yes, The CEO. She's busy right now, if you want to see her you'll have to wait a little" Ai jin nodded and took a seat in the waiting area for visitors like her.

it's just been eight month since she last saw Meilin, she ended up with a smile while her own chapter closed immediately when she stepped into the prison.

Days she spent made her realise her obsession but she just wanted to try her luck with haru one more time. It back fired again and she ended up being sad. She'll continue to be if she doesn't change her reason for living.

"Ma'am!" the receptionist called "Miss Zhao is in her office right now. Feel free to meet her" Ai jin nodded and walked towards the elevator at the far end of the hall. She pushed the button for the fifth floor and got out as soon as she heard a beep then the door opened.

"Come in" Meilin said when she heard the knock on her door. The receptionist already announced she'd have a visitor, but she never said anything about who it was.

"Miss Zhao" Meilin wondered about the lady that called her name delicately. "Are you Ai jin?" It was so difficult to accept, the same ai jin that called her name with outrage was presently treasuring every syllable of her name.

She was way different from the same breathtaking entertainer and enchantress she used to know. She dressed plainly and has no kind of jewelry on her any longer. The crown of ego she had on has been knocked off her head and now she's modest, something that was least expected of her

"Uhm, sorry for disturbing but I" with new instincts, she bowed her head "I'm so sorry Meilin, I came to apologize for everything I've done. You might not forget but I just want you to forgive me. Please" Meilin froze in awe, she was really apologizing although she did have her doubts but she had a feeling that the apology was coming from a woman that had changed from her ways.

Ai jin constantly reminds herself that whilst she cannot undo her misdeeds, she has to dedicate her life to walking in the light. she tells herself that even though she can never forgive herself, to someone that understands her, she probably might wipe the tears of guilt away and move forward.

All she sought was Meilin's forgiveness so no bitterness remains between them. She's finally come to know more about humanity, and she wouldn't mind to remain single and alone as a punishment, no one would accept her anyway after her bad records had already gone to the news and internet. Maybe by grace and the forgiveness she needs, she can feel warmth in the cold and survive the winter she'd experience for the rest of her life.

"I won't criticize you if you don't forgive me. It's not easy to forget everything a monster like me has done" She was about to leave when she heard Meilin's voice, the same voice she hated back then but now she wasn't irritated by it anymore.

"I didn't say I won't forgive you" Ai jin gasped, tears rolling down instantly. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry" Now she was apologizing for crying. It was hard to believe Meilin would forgive her so easily.

This was how everything ended up. Meilin was way different from the elevator woman from over three years ago. She's beautiful, now Ai Jin could see what Haru saw in her and she has a will always have a good heart.

She's a multi millionaire, moving mountains with little or no effort. It was like karma gave Meilin her type of life, and she ended up with leftovers. She deserved it. She had everything in the beginning, the money, fame, jewelries and pride but now she's plain, depressed and hated by the world.

Even if Meilin forgave her, it doesn't change people's perspective of her. She could hear the whispers and insults from the people in the reception, the receptionist also joined in on the gossip. It was obviously right from the start that they recognized her, that's why they spaced away from her and trued to avoid as much eye contact.

"I guess, you must've forgiven Haru too, you both should be a happy couple."

"We're not. Don't get things wrong Miss Ai Jin. I'm not holding much grudge against Haru but I don't think I can love him again. I'm sorry"

"The old me would've been happy but I remain indifferent. He wouldn't love me, he only has eyes for you and I'm sure he's still striving to make way into your heart. I'm happy for you meilin, someone like me got what she deserved" She remembered something in her bag. She opened it up and smiled looking at the wrapped box "It's not much but I got these for your girls."

Meilin smiled "You know, you didn't have to."

"Just take it as a peace treaty" she suddenly frowned "I'm sorry for wasting your time Miss Zhao, I'll go now. I still have community service to do. Thanks for your time" She bowed but before she could leave again "When you're done, there's a vacant job spot here for you"

"No you can't, please don't. Not for me, After everything I've done..."

"What did you do?"

Ai jin's tears burst out and she walked with arms spread out to embrace the suited woman that got up to do the same "Thank you so much. Thank you for everything life and you taught me" She wiped her tears and turned for the door, it was almost time for her to start her public service. Meilin waved as the woman left then turned her attention to the picture frame on her desk "It's something you would've wanted right Guiren?"

She knew the type of man Guiren was. He was a perfect individual to her, a man with a good heart. She was sure he would've done the same thing.

Something about life was moving forward, and she had to move on from Haru. As the new CEO of Empire inc she had a lot of responsibilities, the first and the most important is to make Guiren's dream come through so he could smile from the heavens.

She really cared a lot about him and doesn't regret a moment she's spent with him, even their fights had it's own significance. She doesn't recall telling him she loved him, but what they shared was very similar to the term love. If it was, she felt every ounce of it.
