CHAPTER 401
Jiang Corporation.
In the quiet room, only the sounds of pages turning once in a while and pencils moving graciously on different sketchbooks could be heard. Just then, the room was disturbed by the ringing of a phone
Everyone paused before taking their eyes off their work in search of whose phone was disturbing their energetic, brainstorming minds.
"B-Boss, it\'s... It is your phone," Xia Xinyi said.
Bai Renxiang left the employee she was supervising and walked to her assistant.
"Who is calling?" She asked.
"I don\'t know, boss. It is an unknown number," Xia Xinyi answers as she held out the phone for Bai Renxiang to see.
Bai Renxiang\'s beautifully carved brows furrowed. Who was the person behind this unknown number? What does he or she want?
Not feeling good about it, she told Xia Xinyi to silence the phone before she went back to her supervision. After another while, the phone\'s screen brightened up again.
Since it was in silence, only Xia Xinyi noticed it. She purses her lips at the display of the number. Something at the back of her mind kept urging her to receive the call.
"No. Boss, told me to ignore it. I should probably end the call," she whispered.
But fortunately for the caller and unfortunately for Xia Xinyi, her hands mistakenly seized on the receive button. Before she could end the call, she heard a faint voice from the phone so she placed it beside her ears.
"Mummy?! Hello, mummy, it\'s me, Xiaojin."
GASP
Yet another disturbance. Everyone turned to Xia Xinyi as if telling her to keep it down. But the latter could not care less. This was more important than their sketches if not even better than their jobs.
"Boss, this is important."
Xia Xinyi\'s cheeks made loud noises on the tiles floor as she ran to where Bai Renxiang was standing.
"It\'s little master Xiaojin," Xia Xinyi whispered as she placed the phone against Bai Renxiang\'s ear.
Bai Renxiang was surprised. "H-Hello."
"Mummy! What\'s wrong? Don\'t you remember my voice any more?" Bai Xiaojin asked.
"Xiaojin. What are you– oh my God!" Her voice raided startling the employees.
"Everyone can go. Xinyi, get my purse from my office now," Bai Renxiang hurried out of the meeting room after shouting her orders.
"You heard, boss. You can all call it a day and go home to rest," Xia Xinyi repeated before she hurried out with Bai Renxiang.
"Sweetheart. My love, are you alright? Oh my God! I am so dumb and forgetful."
"Mummy, why are you or daddy not here yet?" Bai Xiaojin questioned.
"Your daddy travelled, remember."
"Oh, I forgot. Then what about you or the driver?"
"I am so sorry, baby. I am coming. You– Wait a minute. I sent the driver to come and pick you up. You mean he is not there now?" She asked in disbelief.
"He is not. Anyway, I am going to my friend\'s mother\'s shop. You can pick me up there, okay?" Bai Xiaojin informed her.
"Friend\'s shop? Is the person who gave you this phone standing with you?" Bai Renxiang quickly asked.
By now she step out of the elevator and Xia Xinyi had managed to catch up with her. She was panting heavily as she had run back and forth from the meeting room to the elevator, from the elevator to Bai Renxiang\'s office and back to the elevator.
After Bai Renxiang finishes galling with Mrs An, she turned to Xia Xinyi and collected her purse.
"Boss, I have ordered a cab to take you to wherever you want," Xia Xinyi said.
"Oh! Thank you. You really are the best assistant in the whole world."
"Hehehe. Then maybe you can reward me later?" Xia Xinyi smiles surely.
"Of course. But first, my baby boy is waiting for me. I need to hurry. I will see you tomorrow," Bai Renxiang left the company in a rush after str boarded the can Xia Xinyi ordered.
"Good day miss. Where do you want me to take you to?" The driver asked as soon as Bai Renxiang was settled in.
"Take me to An\'s Bakery. Please hurry," Bai Renxiang urges the driver.
"Okay. An\'s Bakery here we come. Sit tight, miss," the driver said before he swerved back into the said and sped off.
Meanwhile, Mrs An, An Daiyu and Bai Xiaojin had already reached their shop. Bai Xiaojin sat in a quiet corner as he o served the whole bakery.
It was a small bakery with different shelves and show glasses housing loaves of bread and cakes. Although it was not big or classy, it was not shabby.
An Daiyu brought two plates of sliced strawberry cake and sat with him. From her appease had changed into a casual simple pink dress. She looked pretty even though the clothes linked a little bit faded.
She pushed one of the plates of cake to him along with a fork. "Here. It is on the house. You will like it," she said.
"Uhm... Thank you but I don\'t–"
"You... you don\'t want it?" An Daiyu asked sadly.
"No, it is not that. But I need to show my mother first. So..."
"But I did not wait to show my mama the lunch you gave me," An Daiyu\'s voice was small as if she was going to cry any sooner but was holding it in so as not to look pathetic.
"That was... Uhm, okay. I will eat it. But I am going to pay when my money comes back, okay?"
"Hmm. Thank you," An Daiyu smiled.
Mrs An was secretly watching the cute little children from behind one of the shelves. She smiled seeing how sweet her daughter was trying to be to a boy. But her smile went down when Bai Xiaojin politely turned her down.
Then, her face lit up again when he accepted it. She watched on as they got into little talks now and then.
Ding! Ding!
The bell rang indicating the arrival of a customer. "Welcome to– Oh my God! So beautiful."
