Li Xue was deep in her contemplation when Du Fan pulled back the car at the parking lot of Glamour World. He looked at the lady through the rear mirror and didn't announce any word directly. The breach of politeness wasn't his intention, but he did look upset for some reason.
When Li Xue felt sudden stillness in motion, she looked out of the window only to find the car at a pause. "Oh, we have already reached. Sorry, Mr. Driver, I almost didn't hear you." Thinking of her fault, she immediately apologized as her hands worked to reach her belongings in the car.
But from the front, Du Fan shook his head. "Nope, Madam, please don't apologize. It has been me who didn't inform you of the arrival."
He said and Li Xue paused to tug her brows at him. But then sensing something, she asked, "Mr. Driver, are you upset with me for what I did at the mall?" She asked and already knowing that was the case, she smiled to shake her head in nonchalance to say, "But look I was fine. Nothing happened to me. What is there to be stress about? Furthermore, weren't there the royal guards around me? I was safe."
Du Fan denied. "Madam, it doesn't work like that. I have been appointed to be around you to protect you in a way. No matter whether there are bodyguards or enemies around or not, I have to do my duty. I couldn't slack off especially when Young Master is not around." He said and, in his words, his struggle was evident.
Actually, Li Xue also didn't want it like that. Knowing from the last time at the restaurant, she has decided not to give a tough time to the driver. But today's incident was simply not in her control. The appearance of the victim girl at the mall was an opportunity she didn't want to miss, so she went with the flow and stayed at the mall, sending others back to the palace.
"Mr. Driver, I understand. But I hope you will know that whatever I decided wasn't intentional. I knew your concern for me, but I had something important to look into and I didn't have time to go back to the palace and return back to the mall." Li Xue said, pressing her lips and looking a little bothered.
Du Fan caught that look at her face but before he could ask, Li Xue checked the time on her watch and interrupted him, "Ah, Mr. Driver, we will talk about this later. For now, I will leave first. I have already gotten late. The people must be waiting inside." She said before pushing the door open of the car and leaving in hurry.
While inside the Glamour World conference room, people were already sitting and waiting for Li Xue to arrive. On one side it was Su Fai and Lin Xinyi sitting, while on the other it looked like the people from LS cosmetics.
Although there were no talks in the air of the room, things looked quite stressful. Mostly in the part of LS cosmetics.
"Gentlemen, would you like to have something?" Thinking it was taking some time, Lin Xinyi asked out of courtesy while briefly checking the time on her watch. Although Li Xue has never been a late personality, seeing her arrival getting so delayed today, she would definitely want to hear what took her so long.
The people exchanged gazes with each other before shaking their heads in denial. "Nope, we are fine, Ms. Lin. But could you please let us know when Ms. Li Xue would be here?"
"Ah, last that we have talked, she was on her way here. She would be arriving soon. Sometimes we can't do anything of the traffic but could only apologize to people for keeping them waiting." She said and the executives on the other side shook their heads.
"It's okay, Ms. Lin. We can understand. We will wait." One of them said and right at that moment, the door of the room was pushed open as Li Xue came in with an apologetic face.
"I am really sorry for keeping you all waiting here. I didn't know how the traffic took me so long." She said before coming to take a seat beside Lin Xinyi. "Sister Xinyi, did I get too late?" She asked, and not saying anything for some time, Lin Xinyi shook her head.
"Everyone was waiting for you to come. We would start it now." She said and Li Xue didn't understand it for some time. Wrinkling her brows, she turned to look at the people from LS cosmetics.
"Ms. Li Xue, you have come, we have thought that maybe you wouldn't be coming to meet us?" One of them said and Li Xue simply shook her head.
"Why so? Didn't we already decide to meet today? Furthermore, it was just the traffic that took me a long time, otherwise, I had no intention of keeping you all waiting. Although I have been infamous for being arrogant in the industry, I am definitely not villainous."
She said the people again exchanged gazes among themselves before one of them turned to say, "We didn't think that you would be still so favorable of us. Especially after your name is getting smeared because of our brand."
At these words, Lin Xinyi leaned forward to say, "For that case, Mr. Jin we still have to talk. We can't …" She wanted to say more but as if very desperate on their sides, the LS cosmetic couldn't hold in and interrupted first to say.
"Ms. Lin, we understand what you want to talk about but please hear us first. At this point of time, we can't let Ms. Li Xue withdraw from our brand. That would just ruin us as a whole and we won't be able to take the blow. Please understand us." They said, and both in their tone and posture, it can be seen how immediate their requirement was.
