Chapter 100: He drew circles to cast a spell on her
Mo Jia was sure that this voice....As she raised her head, she was stunned. Her mouth opened and closed in disbelief. She finally found her voice and interrupted Tang Li "K..Kara?"
The pen in Tang Li's hand paused as she raised her head. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw Mo Jia's stupefied expression.
She glared at Mo Zihan for giving such a big shock to his sister. Being the pufferfish that he was, he simply pouted and shrugged off. Inwardly, he was quite happy for extracting such great expressions from both these indifferent women. He smiled to himself and thought 'Holy cow! This was worth it!'
"Hey, let me reintroduce you both," Mo Zihan paused and added "Jia, this is the CEO of Ash Corps, my goddess. And goddess, this is my beloved sister."
Tang Li gave him a look saying 'As if I don't know.'
Mo Jia didn't move as if she has just seen an alien species.
Tang Li walked towards her and held her hand as she said "I never got a proper chance to tell you. I am Tang Li."
Mo Jia had already switched back to her normal self as she said "I'm proud of you."
Mo Zihan and Tang Li: "_"
She was like a mother whose daughter has finally became an adult and found herself a reliable husband.
As Mo Jia thought about it, there was nothing to be shocked about. The woman infront of her owned 'Ultraviolets' which depicts her knowledge about business. And solving a pentamix puzzle within minutes, she is undoubtedly a genius. Not to mention that, she gifted her the Royal Collection set, which means that she is filthy rich.
She always had a hunch that Kara is a big shot. It really turned out to be true. Now that she thought about it, everything was infront of her own eyes. The name of her biological brother is 'Tang Yichen'. And Tang is not a common surname either. If only she could link the dots, but let it be..the truth is already out anyway.
As if a bolt of lighting has struck her, Mo Jia grabbed Tang Li's shoulder suddenly and said "A..Are you alright? Where are you injured? Is it hurting...."
Mo Zihan also recalled why are they here today. He quickly walked towards her and said "Kara, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you there. Tell me, why are you here in office? Go home and take rest. I'll handle everything here..."
Tang Li could feel a gush of warmth creeping inside her as she shook her head and said "I'm fine."
Mo Zihan dragged Tang Li towards the couch and gestured her to sit down "You should not stand up. The drug must be making you feel weak. Why didn't call Jia? She is a doctor and she must have the antidote right? Are you really alright?
"Cough. Yes, we have the antidote in the hospital. But looking at the hickeys, I'm sure that brother's antidote is more effective on her," Mo Jia teased.
Mo Zihan carefully examined the hickeys as if he was an archaeologist scanning the antiques. He grinned and said "Rough night, huh? Being single is a torture!"
Tang Li's face remained calm as usual but a blush crept up her cheeks as she said "You both....Sigh..Tell me, is grandmother fine?"
At the mention of their grandmother, both of their faces darkened as a sadness appeared in their eyes. But Mo Jia quickly concealed her expression and said "Yes, she is fine."
Although both of them thought that managed to convince her but Tang Li was not a fool. She could feel that something was amiss. But if they purposely dodged the topic, that means they will not disclose it no matter what. So, she didn't drag it.
'Knock Knock'
A series of knock was heard and both the Mo sibling were inwardly thanking their lucky stars for sending their saviour. They were sure that Tang Li would notice something abnormal if they talk anymore.
Little did they know that their acting was not upto the standards. They should probably adopt some acting skills and tricks from the great actors Grandpa Tang and Grandpa Mo. Those two old men were capable of fooling Tang Li and Mo Yuhan with their acting, even if it lasted for a few seconds only, it is alreadh an achievement in itself.
"Come in."
A middle aged man entered inside with 'fear' written all over his face. Of course, he was frightened. Who will not be horrified when entering the demoness' magic castle?
When he entered inside, he was stunned to see a beautiful woman with their CEO and Vice President. The three of them together looked as if they just came out of a painting. He quickly composed himself because the last thing he wanted was to provoke the demoness.
The manager of HR department did a deep bow and said ''Good Afternoon. President, the interview for your secretary is finished. And three candidates have made it to the final round. COO Lin wanted you to make the selection personally," With a pause, he turned to look at Mo Zihan and added "Vice President Mo, the BS collaborations needs to be overlooked by you."
Initially Tang Li wanted to reject it but Mo Jia had other works to do at home so she left soon.
The manager also left leaving Tang Li alone with the shivering pufferfish who was behaving as if he has sneakily ate someone else's food.
"Did you have to give her such a scare?" Tang Li asked coldly. Mo Jia was really stunned when she found out about her identity.
She wanted to reprimand him but when she looked at the man, her heart wavered by his cuteness. A chibi pufferfish was pouting his lips and drawing circles with his fingertips as if he wanted to cast a spell on her by his cuteness.
And truely, it worked. She didn't utter a single word but the look in her eyes wasn't cold anymore.
Since his spell has worked, he decided to butter her up "L..Life is bland. I just wanted some spices".
"Must you make it so spicy? You have got much time to indulge yourself in spices. Why don't I spice up your work schedule?" Tang Li uttered and left.
Mo Zihan: (⊙.⊙) Holy Moly, the cuteness spell didn't last for long !
He could only sigh and report back to his work. As he entered the office, he was welcomed with piles and piles of documents.
"_"
Seems like the CEO is truly efficient. Did she have to torture his poor soul like this?
Nevertheless, he was still content with it. His day would be complete only when he is tortured by his precious President Tang. His heart was trembling with fear whenever he thought what could've happened to her. But now that he saw that she is all well and kicking, he was at ease.
...
As for Mo Jia, she hailed a cab to her private villa. Although Mo Zihan wanted to lend his car to her, but she rejected his 'extra kind' intentions. That brother of hers would die with anxiety without his baby ferrari. The cars are like his own flesh and blood to him.
As she reached the main entrance, she entered the password but...
'Beep'
Invalid?
She was caught off guard. What? How?
