Inside a coffee shop on the outskirts of City Z .
When Xi Xiaye arrived, Caitlyn was already waiting for her at a table . She quickly stood up when she saw Xi Xiaye .
“Director Xi!” Caitlyn called out to her and Xi Xiaye nodded as she glanced over at Caitlyn—
Dressed in a sporty gray outfit with a snapback on her head, she also wore a pair of sunglasses . She was sitting in a quiet corner of the coffee shop .
Xi Xiaye sat down as she gestured to her to order from the waiter who had turned up beside them . “Have a seat . I'll have a mocha please, thank you . ”
“Okay, please wait for a little while!” The waiter went away swiftly .
Caitlyn sat down as she put on a warm smile . “Thank you for coming . ”
Xi Xiaye smiled back at her . “Of course I'd come since you invited me . Has it been busy for you working with Jewellery City?”
Caitlyn shook her head . Recently, she had risen to fame, mainly because of her contract with Glory World . She was really grateful for Glory World, especially Xi Xiaye because she clearly knew that compared to other more popular stars, she did not stand much of a chance .
“It's alright . There's a lot of time to rest as well, so I can still manage . ”
Caitlyn took a sip of her coffee . After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Xi Xiaye . “About what you told me…”
The waiter served Xi Xiaye's mocha on the table .
“Mmm? What do you think about it?” Xi Xiaye took a sip from her drink as her eyes met Caitlyn's gaze . “I've thought through this . We need a top artiste of our own if Glory World wants to take a big step in the showbiz industry . Of course, we'll consider you first since we're collaborating now . Chairman Mu and I hope that Glory World can find its distinction within the industry… and it starts with you . ”
Xi Xiaye's attitude was genuine as her eyes were staring straight at her, and Caitlyn had this unknown favorable impression of her .
Unlike many high-ranking personnel in big companies who were always acting all high and mighty, she was really friendly and genuine . Her lack of airs just made her feel comfortable, and she did not have to put her guard up when talking .
Caitlyn was reminded of the incident back then as well as the rumors she heard in Glory World . Shyly, she looked at Xi Xiaye as she asked quietly, “Director Xi, this might come off as a little odd, but I wonder if you and Chairman Mu…”
Caitlyn's expression was starting to look a little awkward, but she still finished her sentence, “There are rumors… that you and Chairman Mu… Ah, I'm sorry . Forget about what I've just said . ”
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment . Noticing Caitlyn's awkward expression, she smiled mysteriously . “What about us? That I'm his secret lover?”
“Director Xi, I'm sorry . I didn't mean that . I'm just a little curious about the both of you although I'm not sure why I'm such a busybody about this either . ”
Caitlyn was relieved when Xi Xiaye did not seem offended .
“I know that's what everyone guessing . Actually, we're married . We were married last year . ” It was the first time ever that Xi Xiaye was admitting her relationship with Mu Yuchen before someone else . She raised her hand slightly and showed Caitlyn the ring on her finger .
Caitlyn's eyes widened as she covered her mouth with both hands . She gaped at Xi Xiaye for some time . “I was right!”
Xi Xiaye grinned without saying anything, then she tasted some of her mocha before getting back to the topic . “Could you tell me your answer right now?”
She looked at Caitlyn with her crystal-clear eyes . There was a strong sense of determination in them .
“If I say yes, then…” Caitlyn looked at Xi Xiaye hesitantly . “Yueying is pretty unhappy with me, and I heard that Xi Xinyi plans to take over Yueying soon . If that's the case…”
“You don't have to worry about that Ms . Caitlyn . Glory World is now the second largest stakeholder of Yueying . After putting in some effort, some other stakeholders are getting on our side . Your presence in Yueying will be taken care of on Glory World's behalf . We have picked up several big titles this year and filming will start very soon . However, we haven't confirmed the leads because we want to cultivate new stars to become the sharp edge in the future of the industry . ”
“So, I believe that you, Ms . Caitlyn, are smart enough to understand the gist of it . I'll won't speak further now . ” Xi Xiaye stopped there and let her ponder it .
Caitlyn still seemed hesitant for some time, but in the end, she nodded . “Alright then . I'll take the gamble!”
“Thank you . I hope this will work out well for us . You can come over to Yueying in the next few days to discuss the contract details . Deputy Director Xu will be in charge there . Do contact me if there's anything else . ”
“Alright, noted . ”
It was 5 p . m . when she arrived back at the office . The workday was ending, but Xi Xiaye was too lazy to go up, so she just sat down on the long bench in the little plaza beside the office building . She waited for Mu Yuchen while flipping through a magazine that she had grabbed from the car .
The golden sunset shrouded the whole of City Z in a radiant mist . It also dragged a long shadow from the slender figure sitting on the long bench .
The evening wind breezed through her hair as a figure closed in slowly and stood in between her and the sun .
As she could feel someone nearby, she raised her head and saw him standing right before her .
He had a hand inside his pocket as well as a rarely seen gentle expression on his handsome face . His eyes were deep and vast like the starry sky, and they were looking at her tenderly at the moment .
She thought that he was getting more and more comfortable to look at . Everyone else only saw the cool side of him, and no one knew how he acted at home .
Suddenly, the young Mrs . Mu's heart softened, and a slight blush appeared across her smiling face .
