Trial Of Love - Chapter 484
Elizabeth was out and about with Liu Yifie. The two ladies were cautious as they roamed around the mall. Not because they are worried people will notice the girl, but because of the people following them around.
You won’t physically see them, but they are there. Dress like a normal citizen who seems to be just going about their way. Only Elizabeth seems to have caught theirs moves since she’s grown up with this kind of protection.
“Lizzy, are you alright?” Liu Yifie wonders as the girl seems to be out of focus.
Elizabeth nodded and smiled, as she explained everything to her. “See those two sitting near the coffee shop, they were my dad’s men. Also the one near the shop opposite us, they’re also watching us. Including…”
Liu Yifie was surprised to know how many people were following them. She felt shivers down her spine as she felt so worried for her own life. Yes, she’s been with the Zhao family for a while now and Zhao Xinya has instead said that she’ll have someone go with her when she leaves, but she never agrees to it. She won’t even allow her own driver to follow her and gives him a tip to go do his own things. And to think, the girl next to her lived her whole life liked this.
“Lizzy, are you sure things will be fine later.” She worriedly asked as she peeked at the people the girl mentioned.
“Don’t worry, they’re not stupid to do anything reckless. Plus, I will be visiting the company. They’ll probably only hack at the company’s surveillance and watch from afar.”
“WHAT?” As if she was seeing a ghost in front of her the girl soon turned pale from the shocking news. She didn’t expect things would go that far. She was so worried, what if they’ll get caught. The girl’s father was not someone to be trifled with. Even the old man does not challenge the man’s authority. So, who was she to defy him. “Lizzy, please assure me that nothing will happen to my son.”
“I promise you with my life, that nothing will happen to your son.”
“I would rather you don’t make any promise then.” She turned away from the girl with a depressed expression. Who would be pleased with such a promise. Her life would be more important than her sons’ when it comes to the man. Which means if she is gone, her son will probably pay the price.
“Don’t worry Sis Yifie, I won’t let anything happen to my own nephew. He’s like my own child as well. I’ve been taking care of him too.”
“I know,” She smiled despite deep inside she still felt uneasy with everything. She just prays that nothing bad will happen and everything goes according to the girl’s plan.
Soon, Wang Ji arrived and accompanied the girls. They continued with their shopping as Wang Ji happily followed them like a dog. For Elizabeth, Wang Ji was the true definition of loyalty. Despite she no longer works for the man, the man continues to treat her as if she was his own star.
The three of them ended up having a break at a cafe. Liu Yifie was calling the guards and driver to pick her up since the girl needed to visit the company and Liu Yifie felt like she’d been away from her son for too long.
“Then, Lizzy, I’ll see you later. Mr. Wang, please take care of Lizzy. I see you another time.”
“Lady Liu, take care.” Wang Ji got up from his seat and bowed respectfully as the girl left along with her guards.
Elizabeth continued to sit in her seat as she enjoyed her mocha frappe. As Wang Ji took his seat, the girl finally spoke. “Manager Wang, you can call President Chen and inform him we’ll be there in a minute.”
“Alright, I’ll call him now. Excuse me for a moment.”
As Wang Ji felt to call, Elizabeth continued to survey the area. She was disappointed because she didn’t expect her father to increase the number of people following her. Of course, she caught them easily since she was not a person who would easily be fooled. Her memory might be unstable and she can’t recall everyone, but she can never forget the people she has met in the past. However, she did notice some strange people though whom she was unfamiliar with. She was unsure if they were her father’s men at all. Seeing those men worried her. Strangely, the feeling she had for those men felt so familiar. Somehow, the way the men looked at her was somehow familiar. As if she was in such a situation before, yet, she can’t remember when it was.
“Lizzy, sorry to keep you waiting. I had to make another call…” Wang Ji explained everything as they soon prepared to leave.
“It’s fine, Manager Wang, if you’re ready we can go.”
“Hmm, let’s go then.”
Global Star Entertainment.
President Chen was anxiously waiting in the lobby. The staff and celebrity who passed by all wonder why the man was walking anxiously around. They wonder who the person he could be waiting for that he couldn’t stay still at all. Some were just too curious that they stayed behind and waited with the man.
“Ah, where are they?”
All of the sudden, President Chen received an unwanted call. “What?”
“She’ll be here, so can you come up and bring me some coffee instead. I don’t really want any of your staff to see me.”
“Why you- do you even know who I am? I am the president, the president, get it!”
“Yes Mr. President, so can you get me my coffee.”
“Cris… Please, can you just ask my secretary. The Young Princess will be here soon and…”
“Even if you kneel down in front of her, lick her shoes and even surrender your life to her, she will never be yours and she’ll never come back.”
“Don’t say that, you don’t know. She might change her mind. You’re just jealous, so I won’t get you your coffee.”
“Maybe in a million years, and if you’re someone as handsome as me, she might accept your offer. So go get me my coffee.”
President Chen couldn’t argue further since the person on the other end has already hung up. He grumpily cursed within as he couldn’t act out of character since he was in front of quite a lot of people. He sighs disheartedly as he started dragging himself to his office. He really wished to be the first person to welcome the Young Princess. Since he had already made quite a bad impression last time, and wished to make a better impression.
“President Chen is leaving.”
“I guess the person he’s waiting for isn’t coming.”
“Man, I was so excited as well to see who it could be.”
“Nah, maybe the president has been just here to get away from that person.”
“Ah, you mean the guy who’s been coming to visit last time.”
“Hmm, it seems the president and he don’t really get along. Well, I mean, the president seems to be so under him.”
“What makes you say that?”
“Last time, I overheard the president arguing with him about money or something. But, all the president said in the end was nothing. For he couldn’t complain.”
“Well, then, seems like the show is over.”
As everyone started going their own way, they all felt as if someone was whispering in their ears to wait and were all glued to the ground. They were all making small and hesitant strides, as they kept checking back at the front door, thinking that somehow something amazing would happen.
President Chen was waiting for the elevator door when one of the staff called out the person’s name which prevented him from making any step further.
“Manager Wang, you’re back.”
Wang Ji walked in calmly and proud. He was one of the elite managers in the company and was the person who handled Li Zi who brought such great impact to the company. So, everyone is very respectful towards him as they greeted him with a very welcoming bow.
“Everyone, good to see you. Is there something wrong? Why are you all here.” Wang Ji asked because he was surprised to see quite a lot of people waiting by the lobby for the first time as if they are all waiting for someone important.
“Ah, that because President Chen was here earlier. It seems he was waiting for someone.”
“Ah, so that’s why.”
“But, it seems the person didn’t come.”
Another person voiced his opinion as well to Wang Ji. “I was so curious about who the person could be. I was like thinking maybe Li Zi has returned all of the sudden, I mean, she was the only person who could bring everyone together. Wouldn’t it be quite a miracle if she suddenly just walked right in front of us all?”
Everyone agrees with what the person said. For it was indeed such a miracle if the girl would appear. Some of them are new but they know about how much the girl means to the company and what she has done for everyone. That’s why those who were around during Li Zi times have been hoping for her return.
Wang Ji did not say anything for what they all hoped was about to happen. But, sadly he won’t be able to tell them that standing right in front of them would be the girl.
Before another person could say anything further, the door opened again and a girl walked in, which caught everyone’s attention as they all looked in surprised and shocked by her appearance.
“Manager Wang.”
