On the other side, after disconnecting the call Zheng Wenting's eyes went to trail toward the bed where Wen Sying was sleeping. His eyes held an unsure question for which he knew the answer but still was not accepting it.
"CEO Zheng, our PR team is here. They are waiting for you in the living room", Da Xia, the manager of Wen Sying interrupted the trance of thoughts, gently giving a soft knock at the door.
Though she had already informed Wen Sying about his arrival last night when she saw him early in the morning, she was still surprised. She has not expected him to come over Sying's apartment directly from the airport. Although she has never told, she wasn't blind to no see that the man has long lost the love he once claimed for the woman.
When heard the call from behind, Zheng Wenting looked back over his shoulders. "Hmm. Let them sit, I will come". He said before again darting his eyes back to the sleeping figure on the bed. "Also prepare some warm honey water for her. When she wakes up later, she will need it".
"Will do, CEO Zheng", Da-Xia said as she saw the man slowly turning on his heels to walk out of the room. Just when he was about to step out of the room, she interrupted again. "CEO Zheng, sorry of intrusion but there is something I want to tell you being Sying's manager"
The man's steps halted. Though he didn't turn to look at her or gave any verbal permission to her speak, he stood there to listen to her.
Seeing him stop, the manager continued. "Sying's career is already on a critical stage, CEO Zheng. If at this moment we didn't take care of her in the right way, she would not be able to stand back in the industry. Though I know CEO Zheng knows the things best, still being her manager I will say – if in the public we let out any words in the context of the ongoing things right now, it might adversely affect her image and …"
Before she could complete, the man walked away, like he never stood there to hear her in the first place. Behind she could only stomp her foot. In the past days, she has made sure that this topic didn't die down online. Only this way was left to ruin the comeback of Li Xue, yet now, here the man was ready to forsake all just to make that one thing perfect.
After a quite long time, Wen Sying woke up for the day with a bad headache. Holding her forehead to lessen the pain, she sat upon the bed. "Argh, why is it again this bad in the morning?" She questioned, her hand unknowingly went to grab the pills from the tray on the bedside table, before downing it down with water. "
"Sying, you are already up? How are you feeling? Are you fine now?" When heard the movement from the bedroom, Da-Xia came to check on the woman, only to find her sitting and drinking water on the bed.
"I am fine. Tell me how are things now? Was there more backlash on Li Xue's image?" Wen Sying asked the first thing, after looking at her manager. At this time, more than her image what mattered to her was the ruin of Li Xue's face and comeback in the industry.
Da-Xia's eyes went a little downcasted as she shrugged the woman's question for the time being and said, "Sying, recently I heard, Treasure Trove will be looking for their spokesperson. Why not give it a try? I remember last time they really urged you to give an appearance. Though at that time they were not influential in the market, this time is different. They have got a good grip on jewelry styles and people's hearts in recent years".
"Da-Xia, I have not asked you this? Are you avoiding my question? Did the things on the internet already die down?" Wen Sying's expression went ugly when she realized the chances of happening so. This wouldn't be the first time for her to see Li Xue getting lucky again in her adversity. Her fists clenched on the bed as she wrinkled the blanket within her grip. "Da-Xia did that bi* …"
Before Wen Sying could even complete her word, the manager hurriedly shut her up. "Sying, CEO Zheng has come this morning and has called our PR team here for the meeting. Currently, he is on the call outside, and …" she informed, her eyes trailed to look at the door as if she was wanting to say something but not saying it out because of restrictions.
Wen Sying's expression didn't change, instead, it became more dark when heard her manager. It was like she understood the whole story even without hearing it. "Did he made some announcement in the public?"
Da-Xia's eyes snapped to look at the woman. She was about to shake her head in denial but it was already late. Wen Sying was ready to explode, on the top of it, her early hangover was not helping her in any bit of it.
Storming out of the room at once, she yelled, looking at the man in the distance, "Zheng Wenting, do you really love her over me? Is it so hard to forget her again seeing her still so beautiful after 5 years?"
Hearing her yell, Zheng Wenting instantly turned to look at her. His brows pulling into a frown. "Sying …" Her words making his life harder and tougher, still he kept his calm in check. "Sying, you must be having a headache. Did you take your medicines? We will talk once you take them". He said, letting out a sigh at the end.
"Huh? Wenting, you want me to take the medicine? Why not just tell me that you want me to take some pills so that I can sleep and you can clear Li Xue's way, ruining my future in the industry?" She disdainfully chuckled out while looking sharply at the man at her front. Her expression did not match even a bit with the sweet and pure ones she was used to present in front of Zheng Wenting. "You are so down to her service. Did she already serve you on the bed? I remember in the past, she would never let you touch her. But after having that scandal that night, I see she might have changed."
She added more awfully and Zheng Wenting felt all stunned at her words, not believing the woman who stood in front of him. Was he seeing some wrong person?
