Chapter 61: Last Option

61 Last Option

Later that day, the nurses checked up on her and after confirming she was okay, they removed the drip.

Liling hadn't even eaten for a long while and her stomach grumbled badly, so she made her way to the cafeteria to eat something. After her meal, she walked back to the ward and accompanied her dad.

She slept by his side, that night she had a dream, she saw her mom in the skies, smiling down at her, She cried bitterly, and pleaded with her mom, asking her mom why she had left her, but her mom just smiled and disappeared in the clouds. Liling woke up in tears, whispering her mom's name silently.

After cleaning up her dad, she called for a nurse and explained that she wouldn't be around for the day.

Walking out of the hospital, she waved down a taxi and explained the address Xin Yong told her, luckily the driver knew BAI Enterprises.

When they arrived, Liling looked up to the magnificent skyscraper that looked as if it reached the heavens and sighed deeply.

She was about to sell herself to someone who she didn't know and for a father who didn't want her.

Liling at this point accessed her pathetic life and wished that she was never born in the first place.

She carefully walked into the gates of the company, no one said anything to her and she figured maybe there was no strict bureaucracy after all.

But when she walked into the lobby, a Security officer stopped her and demanded for her ID. When she couldn't produce any, he asked if she had any appointments.

Liling knew if she said NO, she would be thrown out of the company right away, so she said yes. The officer accessed her thoroughly a frown on his forehead.

It was obvious that he didn't believe her one bit.

He further asked of the person she had the appointment with.

Liling didn't know what to say. If she said the CEO, and his office was called and he denies her, she maybe locked up and investigated for theft, but if she didn't mention his name, she would be thrown out also, so she had only one choice.

"CEO Liu Wei.. "

Liling blurted out even before she could stop herself.

The officer almost laughed, he knew that the boss didn't entertain women not to talk of one as ordinary as the girl in front of him.

But because it would be rude to ask her out when he hadn't confirmed if it was true, he directed her to a seat, and after asking of her name he walked away.

Liling's heart beat faster than normal, if he denies her, she would flee from the company even before the security officers realises what was happening.

....

Wang Feng knocked lightly on Liu Wei's office, and when he heard an approval from the inside, he walked in.

Liu Wei was working through some files and didn't look up to acknowledge his presence.

Wang Feng stood there for a while contemplating how to say what he came for.

Liu Wei glanced up at him, obviously signaling him to speak. Wang Feng took in a deep breath and finally spilled the beans.

"Boss, Liling is here, she says she has an appointment, ....with you. "

" "

The very much busy CEO finally closed his files.

'An appointment with me?, we haven't even met after that night in America, how come we have an appointment?.'

He thought for a while and figured that there must be something very important for her to take the initiative to meet him.

"Let her come up"

He said nonchalantly and reopened the forgotten files in front of him. Wang Feng nodded and left. When he closed the door, Liu Wei fell back on his seat.

Why did she want to see him all of a sudden?

He knew Liling wouldn't just come to him, maybe she needed his help.

He was very much interested in what she had to say to him, though he went back to what he was doing previously, his mind was on the door, patiently waiting for her knock.
