Chapter 17 - Feng Internationals

Chapter 17 - Feng Internationals

Soon the car drove inside a housing society. Li Xue's eyes widened in shock when she read the name of the society at the entrance. Little Carnations.

What was this? Was the driver driving them to the wrong place? Since she was brought up in this city and has lived more than half of her life here, she knew very well what was the meaning of having your house in this housing society.

Little Carnations was the best housing society of this city among various high class societies where high class rich people lived. And the houses here are really expensive for even people who have a monthly earnings in seven digit figures. There was no way in which she could think of living in this area. It wasn't affordable according to her wallet.

Li Wei was also looking outside the window taking in all the ways the car was taking them through. Her lips were smiling along with her eyes leaving a hue of happiness in the air. "Mama! Are we going to live here? This place is so beautiful and green. So many beautiful flowers are there, even more than we have in our home before"

Li Xue did not know how to respond to her daughter. She was herself confused about the things going on. Though she was informed that she will be getting a flat to live in on an expense of the employer. But this place was really too high one to be given to any employee. She was just a newly joined dessert chef. There was no way in which they could think her to be this high.

The little girl was so engrossed in enjoying the scenes outside that she didn't even realize that her mother had not replied to her words.

Soon the car got parked in the front of a small house. Though the house looked small, it was just an illusion for people's eyes.

A lady in her middle age was already waiting for them to arrive. As Li Xue stepped out of the car, she came forward cheerfully in order to introduce herself. But her eyes halted when she got the little picture still inside the car, who held the woman's hand to come out.

That soft little face was too adorable to look at, and was capable of making anyone bend towards her. But there was something odd with the feature. It was oddly familiar, something she still wasn't sure of. Especially those grey shiny clear eyes.

The lady was still trying to connect the coordinates of the little girl's familiarity with someone but that someone wasn't coming clear in her mind. At this moment she heard a sweet voice greeting her. There was a respect and politeness in her tone which was really rare to hear in these days.

"Good morning! Are you sister Margaret?" Li Xue asked, looking at the lady.

The lady nodded in acceptance and replied with equal sweetness. "Yes, I am Sister Margaret. I was just waiting for your arrival. In the morning, I got the information from Mr.Ye, telling me that someone is going to live in this house. So I have to come and show the people around"

Li Xue looked at the house about which the lady was talking about. Her eyes held some doubts through which Sister Margaret saw everything clearly. "Is there some issues with this place, Mam?" She asked, putting a gentle smile on her lips.

Hearing the phrase 'issues regarding the place', the little girl's ears perked up on alert. She looked at her mother with a serious expression asking her to tell if there was something in which she could help.

Sister Margaret gazed at this small girl who has got all serious for her mother. Her eyes turned gently as she praised her heart. Such a protective daughter! Surely adorable and sensible for everyone to like!

Li Xue also felt the gaze of her daughter. To assure her she blinked her eyes shook her head in nothing and then again looked up at the lady. "There are definitely no issues. I was just thinking that this place is really expensive. Though I know that the expenses will be borne by the company but still why would they offer such a great place to a new employee" without any hesitation, she explained her doubt straightforwardly.

Sister Margaret's smile deepened at her words. As she has perceived before, this girl is really different from others. Not only is she beautiful but also quite clear and straightforward, knowing all her limits.

"You are right to guess that Mam. The initial apartment which was allotted to you is under maintenance. So it is just a temporary arrangement. I agree this place is quite expensive but not for the Feng Internationals, who are the fourth largest hotel and restaurant chains in the world with 4,526 hotels in 102 countries and territories. With 10 brands across different market sectors, Forbes ranked it under 30 most successful companies in the world. It won't be an issue if they offer such a place to their employees to live in"

Li Xue knew she was working under a great successful banner but still she was just a dessert chef, who was recently promoted to work in the big kitchen of Zhang Internationals. How can she get to live in a place like this? And her thoughts were really right.

She nodded her head and then looked at her daughter with a smile, "Baby, we are going to live here for the time being. Let's go and take a good look. Then you can tell me if you like it or not? Okay?"

At her mother's words, Li Wei nodded her head profusely. Earlier she was alerted but now seeing everything falling at its meaningful place, she was all cute and fine.

Meanwhile, Wen Sying was pacing back and forth in her room. She was looking at her phone desperately as if waiting for someone's call. And soon giving her desperate expression a pause, her phone rang.

On the first ring itself, she received the call. "Hello! She is back. Back with a child. How is that possible? You clearly said that nothing happened that night then why was she with a child now"

There was some kind of something in her eyes which was suffocating her from inside. But was that really guilt or a feeling of terror that was haunting her.
