Mark Of The Destiny

"Selfish! Still thinking about yourself! What about Honey? Have you ever thought about how he will handle this s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e topic? You even hurt him physically." Wang Shi didn't hide his anger or showed mercy.

Wang Nan shook his head in panic, "I-I never asked them to hurt him physically. Why would I? I know the consequences. Trust me, it was only verbal…. I even warned them not to go physical." It was only now he came to know Honey was targeted physically.

"In any case, it was you who started it. Since my last time's warning didn't work, I've to take action this time."

"Uncle… Uncle, please… Uncle, just one more chance… please…. Beat me, but don't get me expelled…."

Wang Shi yanked Nan's hand, turned to leave. If he turned soft, there would always be a third time, then fourth, and so on and Honey would keep suffering. A lesson is always taught hard-way!

"Let him go, dad" Honey came there, holding hands with Sima Yong and rushed into his arm.

"I don't want to. Just let him learn a lesson, once."

"It's not something I can't handle. Consider this as his last chance. C'mon, dad… just once." Wang Shi sighed as Honey removed his hand c.a.r.e.s.sing his ears, "I'm fine! This is a small injury."

He turned to face Wang Nan.

"I'm letting you and your friends go this time. LAST TIME!"

As he turned to leave Sima Yong expressed her sincere gratitude by c.a.r.e.s.sing Honey's face before she moved for her grandson, Nan.

"Nan, no need to worry about your career!" She said, "The way you are progressing, it's just a matter of time when there won't be a career for you. At that moment, you can only blame yourself. Keep following your father's advice…. His advice will take you higher."

Sima Yong knows her husband's wrongdoings. If it was not for the Elder Wang and Wang Huang's support, they would have been rotting somewhere in poverty. Sadly, instead of paying gratitude, all his son could think of was to snatch the Wang Industries.

And now his grandson…..

Sigh…

While driving back, Wang Shi noticed Honey was in a good mood. He had switched off the air-cooling and had rolled down the window, enjoying the beautiful night view and cool breeze.

"Forgive and forget, huh?"

Honey supported his small head at his palm and looked sideways, receiving a chuckle in response at his cute gesture. "Forgive? I'm not Buddha. Forget? I don't have a memory issue."

"Then?"

"C'mon dad…..I saved myself from prospective trouble. If you had punished Nan, he would have surely come at me in the future. But not now! Hasn't he said it would be his last time?"

Wang Shi was surprised and pulled Honey's soft cheek, "Smarty boy…. when will you stop surprising me, huh? And how did you learn the tricks of Go?"

"That…." He dragged, joining the tips of fingers in guilt. "I saw it in Aunty Suyin's phone. She had some amazing tricks about the game with examples and detailed information, so I just….."

"You just…."

"I-I copied everything to your phone and later mugged it up to use it against the Butler Chu." He was tired of getting defeated by Butler Chu, it elated him when he saw the notes and can't stop himself from taking them.

"You copied without her permission?"

"I-I returned the favor by letting her kiss me. Is this good enough?"

"….."

"No! In the next meeting tell her everything and apologize. This is wrong."

"Okay…. But then I'll ask her to stop taking kisses as well."

"…."

'As if she'll let that happen'

The next day,

"Wow… just wow…."

"Omg…."

"My precious heart… and my ovaries… ouchhh!"

"This male God is too much….."

The next day Wang Shi went to Suyin's office with a team of three to sign the contract. Letting go off his uniform, he was dressed in a blue suit and perfectly matched tie in maroon, receiving all kind of stares from men and women on his way from the moment he got off the car.

He had the charm that stops you in your tracks and forces you to take a second look. He was surely used to this attention to the extent it seems normal now. He was so modest with it; it made girls fall for him all the more.

With a gentle yet accessing gaze, he followed Suyin's assistant who came down to welcome him.

Suyin was scrambling restlessly in her office. She was not afraid of the meeting but the man who was about to come.

Wang Shi saw the direction board hanging above. "Mr. Long, let my team wait in the conference room, I've something important to discuss with Miss. Zhao."

"Right sir," Suyin had already informed of him of the private meeting with Wang Shi. He knocked at Suyin's office door. "Mam, Dr. Wang is here."

Suyin, "Send him in. Make sure no one disturbs us."

Leaving Wang Shi to Suyin, he escorted the rest of the team to the conference room.

*****

As he entered, Suyin made sure not to gulp and smile brightly… but her smile froze and she gulped at the sight of Wang Shi wearing formals.

Call the fire-brigade, please!

"Hi," He flashed his charming smile, that simultaneously communicated, 'look I'm here, signing this deal with you'. "Don't your office employees watch zoom TV?"

His abrupt question brought her to senses, "Sorry?"

"Yeaaa…. They were gawking at me while I came here."

She gestured him to the couch, "Mirror is in the washroom, take a look. Answer to your question will stare back."

"Really?"

"Stop acting innocent when you are not the one. Forget about my employees, I bet even Honey's classmates and teachers will follow the trend." She passed the file containing her contract. "Check this. I will not negotiate on any point. Take it or leave it."

"Looks like you are immune to all of this." He mumbled, looking at the T&C she mentioned. But Suyin rubbed her nose. He had no idea how she looks, thinks, and sees of him.

Delicious meat dangling in front of the eyes!
