(Lobby — Hotel Seoul)

Tai Jun and Zhen Yin walked into the hotel lobby, one after the other. They saw Dong Xian at the front desk.

"Why did you come to the front desk", asked Zhen Yin.

"Can I use the Business Centre now? There are some urgent matters", enquired Dong Xian.

"But …" Zhen Yin took a look at Tai Jun "It’s late now. The Business Centre has closed for the day."Opening the Business Centre now will be defying the operation procedure. She needed Tai Jun’s approval to open the Business Centre.

"It’s all right … inform the Security Department to open the Business Centre now …" Tai Jun turned to Zhen Yin "… Please bring him to the Business Centre" Tai Jun faced Dong Xian "Please excuse me, mister."

(Business Centre — Hotel Seoul)

Zhen Yin brought Dong Xian to the Business Centre. She would inform the Security Department to close the Business Centre later.

"Do you need to use the computer?" Zhen Yin turned on the lights.

"No. I need to make 5 sets of this (referring to the set of documents he is holding) and make an international phone call", answered Dong Xian.

He declined Zhen Yin’s offer to photocopy the set of documents on his behalf.

"I’ll do it myself. May I know which is the phone I could use to make international calls?", he asked.

Zhen Yin brought him to a phone, "Please use this phone".

Dong Xian held the hand-set "Have you always been this busy?" he asked Zhen Yin. It’s already quite late and she is still working.

"It’s not like that usually. Some unexpected events have happened today", she answered with a smile.

He started to dial, "It’s not very nice if this continues after your marriage …"

She stunned for a while, "Emmm … yes …"

He spoke into the phone, "How are you, Brian? I am Frank. … I am fine. Have you received my email?" Frank waited for Brian’s reply "… Yes, it has been six hours …"

Zhen Yin is observing the Dong Xian whom is at work. He looked less like the usual gentle, considerate man,but more like the aloof man she met in the limousine in the desert.

"What?" Dong Xian exclaimed "He is on his way to Korea? Why didn’t you inform me?" "I’ll be confirming it …" Is Brian joking? Why aren’t I being informed? Dong Xian is getting angry "Yes, Leo is with me. Thank you, Brian"

Dong Xian put down the phone and asked Zhen Yin, "How do I make a inter-room call?"

Zhen Yin was shocked by his cool tone "Emmm … please dial ‘8’, followed by the room number" she explained. There is ice in his eyes.

Dong Xian called Sapphire "What are you doing, Leo? Why didn’t you tell me that Alex is coming? Are you able to shoulder all the responsibilities if anything goes wrong?" Dong Xian shouted into the phone. He has decided to delay the acquisition plans. Haven’t he told Leo earlier?

"I didn’t mean to lie to you. Will you be in the correct mood to listen to me now? In addition, I shouldn’t be stopping a filthy rich Santa from coming. I know you have been busy lately. Thus ... he would like to meet you tomorrow morning" Leo explained.

Dong Xian roared "How could make such a decision? How do you operate?"

Zhen Yin was taken aback.

Dong Xian continued yelling "Didn’t I tell you to hold for one more week? Why are you worried for him? Is Alex your boss? Do you intend to earn commission from him?"

She turned away to cover her shock. She didn’t expect Dong Xian to be so angry.

"Never mind. GET OFF your cosy bed to prepare the meeting materials NOW! I don’t care if it’s a hundred or a thousand pages. I want to see the materials placed on my desk before 7 tomorrow morning!" Dong Xian slammed down the phone furiously. This matter couldn’t be delayed further. He has to confront this issue tomorrow morning. He never imagined Leo to inform Alex.

He saw Zhen Yin on raising his head. He was so angry that he has forgotten her presence, "Sorry, I was too loud."

She was still in the state of shock "Do you carry yourself this way … when you are working?"

He regretted his anger "Because I am a ‘hunter’."

‘Hunter’? She has pity on his preys.

Dong Xian walked towards the door, "Can you prepare a meeting room for me before 8 tomorrow morning? Can you prepare some simple breakfast for us too?"

"Of course, I’ll see if I can …" she stopped and corrected her statement "I’ll definitely prepare, if not …" she continued after a short pause "… I am afraid you’ll scold me" she smiled nervously.

How could he bear to scold her? He laughed at her nervous reaction.
