Married to his secret crush

Chapter 178 - Meeting The Man Behind Eminence

Four Seasons Hotel.

"Lass, you are here-" Director Xiang froze the moment he raised his head and his gaze landed on the woman who entered the private room, "President Leanne.." The name unconsciously escaped his mouth as he stood up from the chair.

Yu Mei nodded at him, "You got it right. Because of my health issues, I lied to you back then about being Leanne's disciple."

"You are really President Leanne?" He couldn't deny what his eyes were seeing.

"Yes."

Nobody knew her real name or family background. All they knew was her English name 'Leanne'.

And those who haven't known Yu Mei Zhen closely will assume that she is Han Mei based on her current looks.

People like Jun Zixuan or Mu Shen who have seen both Han Mei and Yu Mei will see them as two distinct people with similar looks.

But it couldn't be said about everyone.

Especially Director Xiang who had seen when she was ridiculously fat. Now that she had seventy percent of Han Mei's features, she used it to her advantage.

It was time for her to take over her identity.

Director Xiang was still stumped for words but he somehow did not doubt her for a second. Who else other than Leanne could create those ingenious designs?

Back then, he easily believed that she was Leanne's disciple because of the designs she showed him.

Not to mention that her aura has always reminded him of Leanne.

And now, looking at the woman in front of him, he did not doubt her a bit.

"Take a seat," She settled on the chair and looked at the old man who was standing on the opposite side of the round table, still in shock, "Where is she?"

"She is on her way-"

Right at this moment the door to the private room was pushed open as a woman in her late twenties stepped inside, "Director Xiang," She greeted the old man before looking at the woman who was on the other side of the round table. The woman visibly froze, her brows tugged together, "P-President Leanne?" This was her first time meeting this woman in person and she had to admit that she had never seen a woman so beautiful.

"Take a seat," Yu Mei said without raising her head, her fingers tapped the table.

Lyra gulped before taking a seat beside Director Xiang. For some reason, her palms sweated and her nervousness showed up on her face.

Director Xiang shook his head inwardly. It looks like this woman was the real reason behind all this ruckus. Who knows whether she will survive past this day?

"Was it you who made the modifications in the mechanism of the latest design?" Yu Mei tilted her head upwards as she came to the point without beating around the bush.

"T-The pendant?"

Yu Mei did not respond to the stupid question.

Director Xiang frowned, "What else was our latest design? Did you do it or not?" Although he asked that but the woman's actions were speaking louder than her words.

"I did..." Lyra lowered her head, "I thought their was an issue with the..."

"You are fired," Yu Mei stood up from the chair getting the answer she needed, "I'll leave since I have an appointment," She said, looking at Director Xiang.

The old man nodded and she left without looking back at them. He knew she had to meet the CEO of Eminence before this matter gets dragged to the court.

"Director Xiang..."

He looked at the woman sitting beside him, "I had warned you many times to keep your actions in check. Not only you kept getting involved in scandals, but you also made changes to the design. Do you know how much of a big risk this is for the company?" He stood up, "Although you have studied designing, you should not have tried to take her place for real. You being the CEO was all a pretense we had set up and you were being paid well. Now you are just facing the consequences of your rash actions."

While he left the room, Lyra was left sitting alone. Leanne was not only beautiful but also successful and it was confusing that why she was asked to replaced her but that did not matter.

Since she was given a chance to sit in that position, she did not want to lose it like this. Her eyes flashed slightly as she grabbed her phone before dialling a number, "Arrange a press conference," With that, she hung up the call and grabbed her bag before walking out of the room.

...

As Yu Mei stood in front of the headquarters of Eminence, a frown graced her beautiful face. Standing tall and high, the mighty building seemed to be mocking her.

It was only yesterday that she was wishing for everything to go fine without further complications and here she was, on her way to meet this giant who had his control all over the world, not only in business but also politics and military.

If it was her previous life, she would not have cared but right now, she did not want another trouble in her barely smooth life.

The person behind Eminence was not someone to be messed with. There was no such place where he did not have influence.

As much as she knew, the power in Amaranthine was divided in three categories five years ago.

Her brother had 70% control while the Amaranthine Royalty held 30% power in their grasp.

But the ratios changed when the Chief of Eminence came into the picture and it took him a few months to flip everything.

The Amaranthine Royalty lost more than half their power and came down to holding 10% because of their blue blood while her brother and this mysterious man held 45% power each, not one percent less or not more if they consider it from all aspects.

And it irked her to the core that the foolish woman Lyra had to mess with this man. As if her life wasn't muddy already.

Whatever. I'll just take it as it comes.

Putting on her shades, she flipped her hair and stepped inside the company before walking towards the reception desk.
