Chapter 2: Five Years Later
Five years later, at the airport…
“Amy, have you heard of the CEO of MK’s China Office this time?”
“Yes. Wen Shuyue, an eye candy.”
“Eye candy?”
“Humph, a single woman with a five-year-old child. She managed to be promoted from a clerk to an executive within one year. I heard… it’s she slept all her way to the top…” Sitting in the lounge, Amy said with disdain. She indeed felt dissatisfied because she had picking up the woman she despised at the airport.
“No way.”
“It’s true. I heard the child is an illegitimate son! Perhaps he is the son of some big boss; otherwise Wen Shuyue wouldn’t have such a good opportunity,” Amy said seriously as if what she said was fact. However, they were not aware that their conversation had already been overheard by a mum and a son behind them.
The mum and son looked gorgeous. Even just standing there, they formed the most beautiful scenery at the airport.
“Mummy,” The boy being held by hand had a pair of bright eyes which showed maturity beyond his age, “These two ugly women are speaking ill of you.”
“Oh?”
Wei Shuyue smiled elegantly. She didn’t get angry at their words. Five years later, she was already free of her previous innocence. Her waist-length curly hair made her delicate look even more charming.
Five years ago, she was forced to leave home without any possessions and went abroad.
After five years’ hardship and efforts she finally got into MK and earned the position of CEO. However, she was being slandered right after taking office.
Wen Shuyue was not as naïve as five years ago. Looking at them discussing superciliously, she smiled and asked, “They are bullying your mummy. What should I do?”
“I don’t know. I’m afraid of evil girls.”
Wen Baobao stared at them with a pair of innocent eyes wide open and looked so fearful, but a mischievous smile emerged on his lovely little face.
Then he quickly ran towards Amy with his stubby little legs and flopped onto the ground right in front of Amy.
“Ouch…”
Wen Baobao cried out loud dramatically, and then burst into tears at the top of his voice, “Mummy, help, this evil ladyis going to hit me-whoa whoa whoa whoa!”
Wen Baobao cried hard that he quickly attracted others nearby to come around and see what happened.
“Hey, little brat. Who’s your mum?”
Seeing this, Amy felt her head was burning. It must be a boring prank. So she said angrily, “What are you babbling about? I didn’t do anything. Where is your mum? It seems I have to teach you a lesson today!”
Amy had already been angry enough since she had to pick up the unknown mistress, and now she was being played a prank by a strange child. Her anger suddenly exploded and she pretended to raise her fist at him.
However, before she could get close, a beautiful woman stood in front of the child with a cold face.
“You are his mum? Can you take him away? He is now pranking me at such a young age. Who knows whether he would commit crimes when he grows up?” Amy kept scolding them in a sharp voice like a vixen.
“Mummy, why is she so furious? Is she undergoing menopause?” Wen Baobao asks innocently, winking his big eyes.
“What?!”
Amy felt embarrassed as well as furious. She subconsciously raising her hand and wanted to slap the child.
However, the slap didn’t fall on Wen Baobao’s face. She was stopped by Wen Shuyue immediately. Amy had gone too far this time, so Wen Shuyue looked at Amy with freezing coldness.
“You two are fired.”
Wen Shuyue reached out and pointed at Amy and her friend, making others somehow scared.
Although she just said one sentence, Amy could feel her imposing power, which made her at a loss for a moment. But she quickly regained composure and retorted, “On what grounds can you fire me?”
Hearing this, Wen Shuyue suddenly burst into laughter and said coldly, “Because I am the new CEO of MK China Office.”
What?
All of a sudden, Amy was totally astonished and she subconsciously looked at the watch to check time.
Oh, no, she missed the arrival time of her flight!
How did she know that Wen Shuyue would stand behind them listening to their conversation rather than wait at the exit?
“Miss Wen… it was a misunderstanding. I don’t know it’s you.” Amy even wanted to slap herself. If she hadn’t spoken out those words, she wouldn’t have been fired now.
“It’s not a misunderstanding. You offended your boss. No need to show up in my office tomorrow.” Wen Shuyue is not a person who would say things twice and would never change her decision.
“But Miss Wen, I won’t do that again. I believe you are magnanimous. Forgive me this time …” Amy went to great lengths to get into MK. If she lost the job, all her efforts would be in vain.
However, Wen Shuyue showed no mercy and remained indifferent, “You’re Amy, right? You should learn from today’s lesson: not all mistakes can be forgiven.”
Seeing Wen Shuyue’s attitude, Amy couldn’t help turning mad. She didn’t care about her manners and said sarcastically, “Why are you so afraid of me talking about you? Do you have a guilty conscience?”
Guilty conscience?
Wen Shuyue crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at the woman furiously before turning to Wen Baobao, “Honey, tell this lady why mummy fires her.”
“First, she thought our flight delayed and did not pick up mummy at the agreed time, which means she is careless.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Second, when you came here, this lady turned angry without getting things straight, which means she is impulsive.”
“Third, although you didn’t tell her your identity, you said clearly this lady should be fired. But she still didn’t get it and questioned your identity, which means she is stupid.”
Wen Baobao listed Amy’s “crimes” one by one with her fingers and solemnly analyzed, “Carelessness, impulsiveness, speaking ill of her superiors behind their back, and …”
With hands resting on his hips, Wen Baobao smiled to Amy, “And accusing you of making trouble for her.”
Hearing all her mistakes, Amy was speechless.
Even a five-year old child could tell her off. This was absolutely a blow to Amy.
“What else do you want to say?” Wen Shuyue bent over and approached Amy, whispering, “Well, even if I do make troubles for you, what can you do?”
“You!”
Amy felt she was on the roller-coaster. She could easily be set on fire by Wen Shuyue’s words while Wen Shueyue smiled at her, leaving with Wen Baobao.
“Amy.”
Suddenly Wen Baobao stopped, turned to Amy and said arrogantly, “Don’t worry. Mummy and I never bear grudges because we usually fight back on the spot.”
