Li Na glanced at downhearted Lu Jun-hui just as he peeked at her.
"Don't just stand there with a poker face, you're already late. Sit and have your breakfast before we leave." She explicated the fact and resumed eating her meal.
As soon as Lu Jianjun stepped out of the door fully dressed in his tailored three-piece suit, the car pulled into the driveway the nearby standing chauffeur came forward and pulled open the car's door.
Lu Jianjun entered when Ethan was fiddling with paper and files on the front seat seems like he misplaced some documents.
The driver drove the car when he infrequently peeked at anxious Ethan who was deadpanned thinking what if the file went into the wrong hands. As such an irresponsible mistake never happened before which only makes Ethan more troubled and tensed as if the boss sitting behind him could any moment ask for the file.
Cautiously, Ethan glimpsed through the rear mirror and saw Lu Jianjun simply resting with his eyes closed seems like his boss isn't in the mood to go through files now. The jerked up assistant heaved a momentary sigh of relief.
Just then Ethan's phone buzzed. Reading the mail, Ethan promptly asked Lu Jianjun. "Sir, Zhang Corporation has shown interest in fixing the meeting with CEO Zhang. Asking for the confirmation from our side?"
Lu Jianjun raised his brows when he heard Ethan's words. Is CEO Zhang's honeymoon period already over? The newlywed husband is back to work. Lu Jianjun's lips curled upwards as he subtly shook his head.
Tapping his foot, Lu Jianjun stayed silent thinking and weighing the gains and profits of this one to one meeting as it looks worthless but he does want to meet CEO Zhang personally once. He had only heard and overheard about that man they never got a chance to come face to face.
For a few seconds, Lu Jianjun didn't realize that he's keenly scrutinizing this meeting been absolute biased or to say under someone's influence.
Suddenly, he stopped tapping after realizing who is influencing him, his gaze lowered and settled on his feet where she kicked him earlier. There was no print on his classy polished shoes but a soft impression lingered there and distracting him.
Lu Jianjun closed his eyes while rubbing his forehead and said, "No need for a private meeting. It'll be a waste of time." He paused a little before replying, " Arrange a short of ten minutes briefing at CEO Business Summit."
Ethan noted before typing mail to his staff member briefing on points for an official reply to Zhang Enterprise.
This time Lu Jianjun had his eyes shut but his thought straying back to her.
Two hours later at Glam Queen.
A silver Maybach entered into the private parking from the back entrance of the wide doom like building. Access only available to the lister Celebrities and official higher up of board members.
Li Na gazed and studied her foreign surroundings, sure enough, she has never visited this site before nor she saw any logo. Just by a single glance at the number plate of the Maybach, the high-security surveillance through the cabin opened the gates wide in few seconds.
Entering the narrow passage covered with the dense trees Li Na curiously scanned the surrounding, after a few minutes Li Na saw the marvelous main building when her gaze landed on the bold title ' Glam Queen' her mouth gape.
But she didn't utter a word. Her lips stretched into a thin line as she sucked a rough breath.
'Okay, it's Glam Queen.
" Obviously, no big deal.' She mused.
She was getting better handling her life pandora's box which is full of surprises and hysterias of shocks.
As the car entered the underground parking, her eyes narrowed when she turned to glare at Lu Jun-hui.
"Bloody Hell! Lu Jun-hui, you're Glam Queen's CEO." How come? she wished to know but then skipped for her own good, God knows if Lu Jianjun had kept hidden eyes on her.
The sullen Lu Jun-hui felt even more grieved. He took it as if she was questioning his expertise to run and manage Glam Queen. It was as if been the CEO isn't an honoring thing for him but a punch of insult.
Straight faced, Lu Jun-hui got out of the car without a word. Li Na followed right after him but after entering into the spotlight. She regretted when the pair of eyes turn to look at her as if they had seen a hot topic to gossip.
See! even the lister celebrities love to magpies. She got a mischievous look whereas Lu Jun-hui was greeted politely. This is the level of discriminatory treatment.
"Okay, I'm done. Let's go back home." I'll prefer to go to school then been stuck in this web of low schemes, greed, lust, seduction, bitching, gossiping, affairs, rumors, stepping over each other to make it to top and whatnot.
Li Na has to have some strong backing or by been absolute shameless to survive in this industry. Having raw talent is the minimum required thing in today's era of the entertainment industry. She had seen Mei Lein's condition and depression despite her family's support. Things really get out of control here in such a nasty way that you've let yourself to degrade to others' level of nastiness. It's the same way as Underworld gets evil, rapey, exploitative, and murderous.
It's the cultivation of people into that same type of mentality which molds them eventually.
"No, I can't disappoint Brother further." Lu Jun-hui declined. Instead of taking her to private lift direct to his office, he took Li Na for a little detour.
Walking beside him, Li Na rubbed her temples as she breathed out."Oh, lord! Jun-hui...what should I do with you and Little Tiger?" now, what this has to do with your brother's disappointment? It's her who wish to go back.
Ding! The lift opened. They stepped out together.
"Seriously, I think we'll be more entertaining doing circus than actually making a fool of ourselves in the entertainment industry." Li Na said. After knowing him within these few weeks she knew how naive Lu Jun-hui is.
Lu Jun-hui replied: "Yes, I'm ready to be a fool. So what?"
Li Na snorted and gave him a dead stare. "Lu Jun-hui, that's good for you. I don't know if you can't handle the business or not but I know I can't act. Then why do I have to lose my face?"
I'm a too prideful person to be here.
Lu Jun-hui thought. Act? Apart from her pretty face and fashionista clothes, she doesn't need anything else to attract attention.
"AHHH...." Just then an ear-piercing high tone scream pained Li Na's left ear. A heavyweight body lumping on her back the moment the girl saw Li Na and almost tripping Li Na by the sudden attack.
Why the fuck! this girl has to sing in her ear. Is she a singer?
Li Na covered her throbbing ears as the girl hugged Li Na from behind. "Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Looks whos here." The girl couldn't contain her excitement.
Before Li Na could stumble out of this unknown girl's tight arms and strong perfume, the girl has attracted many eyes on Li Na and several heads turns.
"Our Queen Of Hearts! TDa" The enthusiastic girl introduced Li Na like a high-end celebrity as if she had paid her to do so.
"Li Na!?" Li Na heard several grasps and repetitively her name was called from different people who were hastening towards her as bees gather after seeing there Queen.
Soon, Li Na was completely circled by a clan of the entertainment industry.
'Wait! What?'
Queen of Hearts?
Li Na turns to look at Lu Jun-hui who stood there as if the CEO was completely tossed aside.
