Zhou Qin Yang checks the clock on her office wall, it was way pass her working time. “I guess I will finish the rest tomorrow.”
As soon as she opens the door after packing up her stuff to leave, a tall figure stops her tracks. Zhou Qin Yang jolt by the sudden appearance of the man in front of her. Why is that she didn’t notice his presence earlier. He wore a black suit and a tie, even though his face displayed a smile, she is amazed how he could conceal his intimidating aura that only those who has experience in martial arts could see.
He place his arm on his chest and lower his head” Hello, my lady. My name is Sinclair. Master has appointed me to be by your side from now on. You can think of me as your bodyguard or butler.”
Zhou Qin Yang fluster at his sudden gesture, she waves her hands and look away “Erm…Jun Ting didn’t inform me about this beforehand ”
Sinclair look up at Zhou Qin Yang without moving his head, she didn’t look at him in the eyes instead she avert them. Sinclair didn’t mind as he is use to it, he spoke up again “If I made you uncomfortable, my lady can request master to change-”
Zhou Qin Yang eyes widen and immediately cuts him off ” No ! No! I don’t feel uncomfortable around you…yet. You see I am a bit shy around strangers, I can’t directly look at them in the eyes so i need time to adjust your presence around me.”
Sinclair was surprise at Zhou Qin Yang’s explanation, this is the second time someone doesn’t mind his presence. Zhou Qin Yang move her hand and cupped his face “Your eyes are amber.. beautiful..”
Her words startles him once more, Zhou Qin Yang was also the second person that called his eyes beautiful even his own mother never said that to him. Zhou Qin Yang then realise what she had just done, she quickly pull back her hand ” I am sorry, I did not realise my actions earlier.”
Sinclair raise his head and remembered his main objective” It is alright, my lady. Master told me to make sure you go back to your residence safely. Should we get moving before the traffic gets worse?”
Zhou Qin Yang nods and search through her pocket for her car keys “We can take my car, its in the car park.”
“Master told me to use the new car he bought today.”
” New car? Then what about my car? ” Zhou Qin Yang’s face full of confusion. She clearly remembered buying her Volkswagen Lamando a few days ago for herself to use because before Lee Jun Ting was her only way to work and home, she isn’t someone who likes to spend money so the price was affordable and she liked the design a lot.
Sinclair shakes his head and takes out a key from his pocket ” Master sold it off already, he said it was old so he got you a new one.”
Zhou Qin Yang is speechless looking at the key on Sinclair’s hand, she immediately takes out her phone and calls Lee Jun Ting. Lee Jun Ting just finish with his work for tomorrow when his phone rang, his haggard face brightens up when he saw ‘Wife’ appear on his screen.
“Hello, I didn’t expect you to call me this quick.” Lee Jun Ting turn his chair around and pours a glass of wine for himself. Zhou Qin Yang gave Sinclair a disbelief expression ” What did you do to my precious car?! ”
“I think Sinclair explained it to you already. I sold it off ” Lee Jun Ting felt satisfied with his decision to sell that old model car. Lee Jun Ting actually found out that Zhou Qin Yang bought a car, he was a bit upset that she didn’t use his money.
Zhou Qin Yang felt like crying, she didn’t even get to use it for a month “You did it without my permission ! Did you know how much that cost me ?”
” I already transfer double the amount to your account when I sold it off. ” Lee Jun Ting sips his glass of wine. ” Besides the car I got for you is much better, the model is old. Next time tell me if you want something, I can get it for you”
” Ah Ting, I am not poor. I can buy things for myself with my own money. Also, I haven’t seen the car you got me yet and I like my previous car design the most ! I only bought it a few days ago, it is not old !” Zhou Qin Yang stood on her ground. Lee Jun Ting was trying to spoil her and she is not going letting him do that. He will do this again without her permission if she doesn’t argue.
” My money is also your money when we are married anyways. It makes no difference, I am only speeding up the process. If you like the design so much, I can buy back the model. All the colours available each.” Lee Jun Ting knows exactly what Zhou Qin Yang is trying to do.
“No! Don’t do that! I just want my car back! ” Zhou Qin Yang is going to pull her hair out at how this man is flexing his money like it nothing, she is totally out of words to say to him.
Sinclair who watched and listened to the couple’s conversation, he then realise that only Zhou Qin Yang can talk back to his master in that manner. He never seen someone refusing his master orders since he started working with him. If it was other people especially women is in Zhou Qin Yang’s place, they’d already be dead. His master has change so much after he came back from the mission.
for visiting.
Lee Jun Ting can imagine how frustrated she looks, he laughs internally because she cannot say anything. He move his head towards the wooden clock on his study room wall, he then frowns ” You said you haven’t seen the car. That means you are still at the office.”
Recalling back the promise that she made to him to never go back home late no matter how much work she has left. Zhou Qin Yang gulps and looks at Sinclair “Yeah…”
“Put Sinclair on the phone now.”
She didn’t argue back this time and hand Sinclair the phone ” He wants to talk to you.”
” Bring her home right now. From now on, she is not allow to go back later than seven.” Lee Jun Ting demands as soon as Sinclair puts the phone to his ear. ” Yes, master” he replies and watch as Zhou Qin Yang averts her eyes, feeling guilty for breaking the promise.
