Chapter 04
Meimei glanced at the document in front of her and nodded in satisfaction.
Her company's branch here in China was doing good.
Just as she was going through other things the door opened and someone bagged in.
"How many times have I told to knock before entering" Meimei scolded the happy-looking Mira
"I lost count at 23" She rolled her eyes
"Why are you here," meimei asked
"About Gu real estate corporation," she said
"They rejected us again?" Meimei asked looking dejected.
"They accepted, you are invited to meet the president of the company next Monday," she said
"Why do I have to go? Don't forget we co-founded the company together" Meimei said
"What? There is no way I am going to meet that ice demon, It was stated specifically that you should come" she said dramatically
"He's known as Ice King, not demon" Meimei corrected.
"He's a demon that's what" she snorted
"Wait! What did you mean specifically stating" Meimei asked having a bad feeling about it
" Why would I know, also remember The Johnson's family banquet is on Saturday night be there,
It's about time you let your enemies know of your return," Mira said walking out.
"Why would they specify I come for the signing at GU corporation?" Meimei pondered.
. "Listen up you two, I am going to the company and later in the day somewhere with your sister Mira so she'd be watching over you okay? Be obedient" Meimei said pointing at Mary the new nanny she employed.
The two kids sat neatly on the cushion looking at her with an innocent and obedient face.
Their obedient looks made Meimei's mouth twitch, she knows very well how demanding and frustrating these two are when left alone,
In front of her,
Lilly is talkative and curious, and Henry is serious and silent, behind her they are opposites, they are two naughty children.
Thinking of the number of times she changed nannies abroad she shook her head helplessly.
Apart from her, Mira is the only person capable of looking after them.
"Follow Mary's orders and don't bully her" 'I can't change nannies her again' she murmured silently and the two children nodded.
"Am ready let's go" Mira said walking out of the room in a flashy short outfit
"We are going to work not a date" Meimei pointed out
"You never know when you'll meet your mister right so look good okay Besides we are going to get the dress for Saturday's banquet" she shrugged.
"Won't you give me a goodbye kiss" Mira beamed at Lily.
Forget it! I don't even know the difference between her and the kids
....
At Meimie's Vanguard China branch office
Meimei parked her car and alighted
"You and Matt did a good job here," Meimei said glancing at the erected building as she spoke to Mira
"I have good tastes unlike someone" She rolled her eyes
"Whatever? Let's go" I said
"Go over I'll meet you I need to get something" she smiled
And I know she's up to no good again
Even though she and Matt get along well it doesn't stop her from pulling pranks on him once in a while
Thinking of Matt she signed
"Good day ma'am how can we help you," the receptionist asked as soon as Meimei entered the lobby
"Am here to see Matt Johnson" As soon as she mentioned Matt the receptionist's face changed from her enthusiastic smile to disdain
"He's not around, our company doesn't need workers," the receptionist said in disgust emphasizing the last word
Meimei glanced at the receptionist who was checking her out in disdain and smiled
It wasn't her fault, she had never shown up here before and only a handful of the higher-ups of the company recognized her
She turned to give Matt a call, She didn't blame the receptionist perhaps a few girls had come over to harass Matt before but attitude has an issue
She shouldn't have behaved that way before finding out the client's intention
"Who's that you have ?" I heard someone ask
"Another one waiting to climb up the social ladder" the receptionist's voice of disdain sounded in the lobby
"Did you find out what she's here from?" The other person asked
"What else? Asking to see the president
"You didn't even..."
"The president is here," the receptionist said and they hushed
"Good morning sir" greetings echoed whereas I watched as Matt walked towards me
"Good morning boss" he smiled
"Morning"
"Why didn't you come up directly" he asked and I watched as the receptionist's face turned pale
"Apparently, according to your employees I am here to seduce you" Meimei chuckled
"What? Did you say that?" He faced the ashen face girl emitting coldness
"No sir I just....I...thought" the receptionist girl stutters in fear trembling
"Even if you didn't say am sure your attitude must have expressed your thoughts, Go report to HR and leave" Matt ordered coldly.
"Worthy of a c.e.o" Meimei smiled
"Learned from the best" he shrugged.
"Where is she" he asked looking around for Mira
"I don't know" Meimei shook her head
"Let's head up," he said and I nodded.
In the office upstairs
"Just give me that recent report nothing much," Meimei said glancing through the files in front of her.
"You are being lazy again," Matt said sitting on the desk having dropped his cautious and respectful attitude before.
At least he knew to separate friendship from work, unlike someone.
"Am here" Mira walked in with three bags
"Speak of the Devil"
"Where were you," Meimie asked
"Getting us food" she replied taking a sit before passing each bag to us,
"I didn't know our young master has been popular among girls" I turned to Matt eating the snack Mira bought
"It's all my mom's fault" he muttered with a wronged expression
"Seems there was gossip while I was gone," Mira said grinning with a raised chin.
"Your dear friend here was accused of climbing the social ladder," Meimie said and Mira started laughing
From there she explained all that had happened
"That was funny" Mira laughed
"Ugh" Matt groaned and they were faced with Matt's face filled with pimples
"Pfft" I held my breath trying not to laugh
"What is this made of" Matt asked the uncontrolled Mira laughing
"Some veggies and eggs," she said
"Eggs? Oh no" Meimie signed
"I should have seen this coming" Matt signed walking to his office lounge
Who doesn't know that Matt has a great allergy to eggs
But Mira decided to prank him with it so pitiful now he's going to live with an ugly face for two days.
How cruel
"I'll get back at you," Matt said walking back out in a fury.
"If you have the ability" Mira bursts into laughter once more
"Meimei don't forget my mom's birthday banquet on Saturday, I need to go treat this," he said throwing a glare at Mira who was sticking her tongue at him.
Meimei laughed at their interaction, nothing's changed they had been like this since I'd known them
Matt is the son of the Johnsons family whose banquet we're going to
He chose to work in our company instead of his family's company
The relationship between Meimei and the Johnsons family is good too.
Thinking of the banquet,
"I still have to prepare my gift for Aunty," Meimei said looking at Mira who was eating in relish
"True but first let's go get your dress," she said burping
"Eww Mira!!!!"
"Sorry," she said with a sheepish smile.
