A Billion Dollar Exchange

67 Her smile back then

Liling sat on the same spot as last time, she watched Liu Wei as he conversed with someone through his phone.

The day before, she had returned to the hospital after receiving the money from him. And after checking up on her dad, she went to school, packed up her things and took them home.

After taking a warm bath and resting for a while, she returned to the hospital.

She was contemplating on whether to bury her mom before her dad wakes up, but knowing that he would want to see her for the last time before she was buried, she turned down the idea.

That same day, she booked a day for the surgery and paid the necessary bills. As she walked back to her dad's ward, she felt a heavy load being lifted from her chest.

She felt light.

Now she had received the money from Mr Liu Wei, it was her own turn to complete her part of the deal.

That evening she received an email from X-dynasty, they were to have a meeting with the new intakes at the industry the coming Friday.

That was when her brain remembered her beloved career.

How was she going to combine being a maid with her career?

She thought about it for a while and decided to plead with Liu Wei.

At least, he was among the board members of X-dynasty, he wouldn't be so wicked as to occupy her for twenty four hours of the day.

When Liu Wei was through with the call, he glanced at her then picked up a document and picked it in front of her.

Liling shifted her gaze from him to the document in front of her.

Without taking a second glance at it, she started pleading with him.

"Mr Liu Wei, I'm sorry for trying to ask for something when you've already been too generous..."

She paused, trying to organize her words.

"but I.. like I have a... uhmm..like the...okay, I mean to say that, I was selected by X-dynasty for their new intake training, so I plead that you .. don't keep me working for twenty four hours everyday."

Liling finally concluded her incoherent speech, she closed her eyes obviously waiting for Liu Wei's judgement.

Liu Wei couldn't even point out what made him so angry.

'Was it the fact that she didn't even remember their meeting in America or that she thought him to be a demon king that would keep her working for a twenty four hours?'

He stared at her for a moment, making sure that no emotions were written on his face.

"Take a look at what is before you"

"Oh, okay"

Liling replied and immediately picked up the document and began reading through it.

When she was through, she couldn't even lift her eyes to look at him.

"I'm sorry.., thank you"

She apologized, putting her hands together to show her sincere apologies.

The truth was that after Liling left, Liu Wei had investigated on what she was using that huge amount of money for.

That was when he discovered that her mom had just died and that her dad was in a coma.

He felt pity for her and gave her a grace of one month to sort things out with her family before starting work the next month, and that was clearly stated on the document he had given her, though he didn't include the reason for the one month grace.

She could only work in the mornings till he left for work and evenings when she was through with her own personal affairs, which was also clearly written.

When Liling read this, she was extremely grateful and happy too, such good people didn't exist everywhere.

Though she didn't know the reason why he gave her such long time, she was still happy that he was thoughtful enough to not demand that she begin immediately.

"Thank you, Mr Liu Wei"

She said again, this time she smiled a broadly, exposing the dimples that turned her beautiful face to a stunning one.

Liu Wei's previous sadness automatically vanished.

He remembered her smile back then in the traffic, it was as pure as now. Those eyes which bore sadness were now curved as a crescent moon.
