114 Die a virgin

Yan Mei woke up to the bright sunlight shining through her windows. She rose to a sitting position and rubbed her eyes briskly. Suddenly she glanced around the room half expecting to find Lei Zhao there but he was gone.

Yan Mei shoulders slumped in disappointment. She wanted to say goodbye to him before he leaves. But she guessed this is good; if she had seen him maybe she would have begged him not to go and stay with her.

Her eyes found the letter on the bedstand. Yan Mei picked it up and a smile creep on her face as she saw the content in the paper.

"Wifey, if you see this it means I'm must probably in the plane now. I didn't wake you up because I was afraid, I wouldn't be able to leave you if I saw your face. Remember to drink your medicine. Don't overwork and take care. I will be counting the seconds until I have you in my arms again. Also, try to not miss me too much. I love you."

Yan Mei held the letter to her chest and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and sighed. It seems she has to get used living alone for these next few days.

Heaving a sigh, she walked to the bathroom to get ready for work.

The elevator opened and Yan Mei walked to her office. Because Lei Zhao wasn't around and the house was empty, Yan Mei came to work early. Su Bei was on the phone so Yan Mei nodded at her as she by passed her to her office.

Su Bei hurriedly hung up the phone and followed Yan Mei. The moment Yan Mei entered the office she heard Su Bei's footsteps coming her way.

"So how is Mr. Lei." Su Bei asked teasingly

"Good." Yan Mei replied melancholy.

"How are you?" Yan Mei asked trying to shift the subject from Lei Zhao. She was not in the mood to talk about him. Talking about him will arose the empty feeling she has been feeling since she found he would be going on a trip.

"I'm good." Su Bei replied softly but Yan Mie saw the trace of sadness on her face.

"What is wrong?" Yan Mei inquired.

A confusion frown adorned on Su Bei's face.

"Don't pretend you're okay, Beibei." Yan Mei said as she shook her head.

"I'm I that transparent with my emotions? Is it written all over my face?!" Su Bei squealed.

At this moment she wished she could hide her emotions and have poker face like her friend.

Yan Mei rolled her eyes and ignored her question. "Okay spill it. What's going on?"

Su Bei sat sloppily on the chair in front of Yan Mei and sighed, "It's just…."

Su Bei trailed off and licked her lips. "You're already married and I see how happy you're now. I'm here I will be twenty-seven in a few weeks and I have never had a boyfriend. I don't want to die a v.i.r.g.i.n!"

Yan Mei bust out into laughter when she heard her friend. Su Bei crossed her arms across her chest and glared at Yan Mei.

She snorted, "You don't know how it feels to see all your mates married, some even have kids."

Su Bei complained and sounded like she was about to cry. Yan Mei cleared her throat.

"Sorry, it just the v.i.r.g.i.n part got me." Yan Mei explained.

"You're beautiful, and smart. You will find a man if you want." Yan Mei mumbled placidly.

Su Bei stared at Yan Mei, "I-I."

"I can set you up with Leng Shao if you want." Yan Mei said with a mischievous smirk.

Suddenly the man with the dimple and gentle aura flashed through Su Bei's mind. Even though they had hardly talk Su Bei can still remember his s.e.xy voice.

Su Bei blushed and shook her head, "No-no. Actually, I still have my mother to take care of that's why I haven't been in a relationship. After my father's death, she just lost it." Su Bei explained.

"I don't know what to say but you can't stay with your mother forever. Also, I'm here if you need any help."

Su Bei nodded.

"I can set up a blind date with a bigshot if you want." Yan Mei continued.

"You will?" Su Bei murmured staring at Yan Mei.

"Yes, if you want. I know many nice CEOs. I can hook you up." Yan Mei threw her a subtle wink.

SU Bei flushed and decided to ignore Yan Mei. She felt her friend was pulling her leg.

"Did you prepare the list of people for the vice president position.?" Yan Mei asked returning to business mode.

"Yes, I have I would send you the list."

Yan Mei nodded as she turned on her computer.

"Is there anything you need?"

"Yes, a cup of coffee and the list as soon as possible."

Su Bei nodded and left Yan Mei to herself. Appointing a vice president would make life easier for her and get time to spend with Lei Zhao.

Yan Mei started her work for the day which was the preparation of the lunching of her new collections.

After immersing herself in her work for five hours straight, Yan Mei decided to stand up and stretched her body. Sitting down continuously for too long was not good.

Yan Mei stood up and walked to the panoramic window of her office that overlooked the streets. Yan Mei rested her hands on the thick glass and looked at the busy streets. She looked down at the phone in her right hand and looked at the time.

Lei Zhao should have arrived. Her face scrunched into a frown. Yan Mei wondered why Lei Zhao hadn't call yet.

Opening her Messaging app, she typed a quick meeting.

Yan Mei: Hubby, have you arrived safely?

Yan Mei tapped her foot rapidly on the floor as she waited for him to reply. Unfortunately, Lei Zhao didn't reply, leaving Yan Mei disheartened.
