Mark Of The Destiny

"That's it? You accepted the conditions just like that?"

When Wang Shi signed the doc.u.ment without a word of discussion, Suyi couldn't help asking before she accepted the doc.u.ment. However, he placed the doc.u.ment in front of her and picked the teacup she brewed for him.

Her conditions were not difficult, leaving the Zz part where she had strictly cleared her stance of not revealing her identity, not to start a case discussion in front of a third person, and he could only reach out for her aka Zz in emergency cases subject to discussing it in private.

Rest she asked for a personal office, flexible working hours with a maximum of 2 hours a day limit, unrestricted access for her assistant, and additional passes for the interns...were some of her conditions.

"Suyin, do you know how difficult it is to understand you?" the frown that followed made him smile, "Who's words it was- 'I will not negotiate on any point. Take it or leave it'? Now that I've taken your words for literally, you are questioning me!"

"But…." She let out a defeating sigh, "Right! It was a non-negotiable contract,"...but she wanted him to question, argue, or at least try the negotiating with her. He didn't even bother to negotiate on the division of funds.

"If you don't like it, then we can negotiate on Zz. I'll welcome you…. I mean Zz with open arms."

"NO!" she let out a panic reply, feeling shy of the use of the words 'open-arm'.

"Oh, I forgot!" saying he took out an envelope and gave it to her. "Honey's asked me to give you this."

"Ah, Honey!"

Grabbing the envelope like an excited child, carefully opening it to see the content as if making sure not to hurt the poor envelope, her actions amused him.

"Oh, it's a caramel chocolate." A bite piece size of chocolate came into view, along with a letter. "Uh!!!???"

She holds the A4 paper to him. On the entire sheet, he wrote only three things, 'SORRY! THANKYOU. 😜)

"What does this mean? Why sorry? Why thankyou? And why….." at the last word she pulled the underneath of her left eye and sticks her tongue out, copying the emoji.

Wang Shi shrugged, forcing himself not to laugh. Sometimes his son is too much! And on top, her reaction was worth million dollars. "Ask him when you meet next time?"

"Right," she still tried to decipher Honey's code language by staring at the paper and then at the caramel chocolate. "Oh, howz he? Any pain? Discomfort? Swelling? Tingling?"

"Much better. And no, none of these."

"That's good! I'll be shifting to my apartment tonight, can't wait to see my little fairy's expression."

"Let me guess…. Horrified, he would be."

*bizzz…..*

They shared a laughter as she picked her phone from the table when it vibrated.

"Shall we head to the conferenced room and do with the remaining formalities? It's about time."

"After you,"

Minister Wei Yuan was impressed by Wang Shi and Suyin's well constructed projected. Without a doubt it would not only help people in need but contribute significantly to the People's group reputation. Leaving aside the perks that come with working with the President's son.

"Congratulations Dr. Wang," Suyin's beautiful face remained impassive when she shook hands with Wang Shi.

He stood and buttoned his suit, "Welcome to the People's group. Looking forward to working with you, Miss Zhao."

"Same here,"

"And with this, you steal my most precious employee for whom I've waited over three months to get her here." As everyone shook hands to congratulate each other, Minister Wei Yuan spoke up.

"Minister Wei Yuan, are you complaining?" one of the lawyer came with Wang Shi voiced out.

Wei Yuan waved the signed doc.u.ment, "Do I look like?"

"When the employee is so good, it's normal for other companies to scout her." Lin Han the director of the People's Hospital kept his gaze on Suyin and Wang Shi who were standing side-by-side and can't help but be awed at how good they look with each other. "Beware… maybe the owner of People's Group steal her forever."

The corner of Suyin's lips lifted slightly.

It sounds so...

Good!

Chen Wenwei, who was the lawyer from the ministry's side, whispered to Suyin, "That's highly possible. The way you are smiling, it seems you like the idea already. Even Dr. Wang seems happy."

Suyin instantly shrank her lips and gave a sneaky warning to Chen Wenwei.

"Suyin, will you ever do that? Don't forget you are only allowed to work for 2 hours a day at People's Hospital."

"Minister Yuan, relax. I'm not going anywhere. Ministry is my second home."

"You heard that Mr. Li, she's not going anywhere. Stop thinking about the impossible." Sunk into the joy of signing the contract, Minister Wei Yuan didn't hesitate to share a light moment with others.

He led the way to the elevator to escort his guests.

Suyin was panicky of Wang Shi walking with her, his hand brushed with hers twice. The more she tried to control, the more she felt restless. He shared a few words with Minister Yuan, but nothing interests her so she just concentrated on her walk, making sure not to trip.

Since Minister Yuan had another meeting scheduled, he left soon after, letting Suyin handle this.

"Art events are boring." Wang Shi muttered while returning to her side after getting done with the call.

"They are not. I'm looking forward to the upcoming event at the National Gallery."

Her words caught his attention, "You are attending it?"

"Yup, Gu Feng had sent me a personal invite. How can I disappoint him?" she finished their small walk outside the lift lobby, failing to register the change in his expression. As the lift arrived and Wang Shi's team stepped in, she breathed a sigh of relief. Goodbye, Dr. Wang."

"Wait," instead of stepping in, he holds her elbow and dragged her to the corner. "We should make an appearance together to let everyone know of this collaboration"

"…."
