Inside the office room, Leslie sat in his chair, leg crossed, left arm put on arm of chair, right elbow stood on another arm of chair with fingers spinning pen.
Eyes of the young chap were pointing at the white paper with dark ink on the table, but his feeling did not stay on the note. He was thinking about how to attack Bai Ji Dan in order to get painting and to get revenge.
While he was in deep thought, Tat opened the door and informed, "Young master, Mr. Liu is coming to see you."
Tat stood aside; an old man walked in with a smile on his face, "Leslie."
Leslie got up from chair and walked to greet the elder guy, "Uncle, how are you doing?"
Liu Kai Chi was a business partner of Wong. He cooperated with Leslie's grandfather for more than ten years. Leslie was not close with this matured man, but he had met him since he was young, when he followed his grandfather.
"I heard you are sick. Are you better now?" Liu Kai Chi said.
"I'm good," Leslie smiled. "Please, have a seat."
"Um," Liu Kai Chi applied his body on the sofa - and his male assistant sat on the couch near him.
"I think you are thinner and look pale. Don't overwork. Take enough rest," Liu Kai Chi said.
"I'm fine. Don't worry, uncle," Leslie said.
"How can I not worry? I promised with your grandfather that I will look after you, so I have to keep my word," Liu Kai Chi stated.
Leslie smiled when hearing words from the old man.
Even though he just jumped into business, he had followed his grandfather and his grandfather had taught him basic and important points in doing business. He also gave a message to him to beware of this guy. This elderly man was a two faced person. He said he was a friend, but in his mind, he had an ambition to grab the property of Wong. He liked to say he promised with master Wong to take care of Leslie; when people heard, some might think Wong Wen asked him to look after grandson, but in fact, Liu made creative words; he had not met with Wong Wen when he died, and Wong Wen did not talk with anyone besides Leslie and Tat. Leslie could see Liu's evil plan, but he had to pretend to be good with him, and Liu Kai Chi was pretending as well; the two knew in their own minds that they were not friends.
"Thank you, uncle. I make you worry," Leslie said.
"Don't say that," Liu Kai Chi patted Leslie's shoulder. "I always consider you as my son. If you have a problem, you can come to me anytime. I'm happy to help you."
"Really thanks, uncle," Leslie smiled.
Tat brought drinking in, "Mr. Liu, your tea."
"Oh, thank you," Liu Kai Chi smiled at Tat.
After putting the tea on the table, Tat went to stand behind his master.
Liu Kai Chi raised a tea cup to his brown lips. Elder man performed like the tea that saved his life. "Um, my tongue is coming back," he stated then took another sip.
"Mr. Liu, be careful. It's hot," Tat said.
"Hot is best," Liu Kai Chi stated.
Leslie giggled when he heard.
"Uncle," Leslie said, "you look strange today."
"It's my tongue," Liu Kai Chi said, then drank tea.
"What's wrong with your tongue?"
Liu Kai Chi did not answer; he was busy taking hot water from the round white cup. Seeing that, the male assistant jumped in in order to not make the director of the famous inn wait longer.
"Mr. Liu went to have lunch outside, then he tried dessert in a store."
"Dessert?" Leslie looked at Liu Kai Chi. The elder man nodded.
"I remember that you cannot eat dessert," Leslie narrowed eyebrows.
"Well," Liu Kai Chi put the cup on the table then claimed, "I just want to test how delicious that store is."
"Huh?" Leslie cocked his head. He did not understand what the elder guy had said.
"The story is like this, young master Wong..."
Leslie turned eyes to the male assistant of Liu Kai Chi.
"Liu Group is going to build an art park in mainland. Mr. Liu wants to meet with Bai Ji Dan, creative interior designer, to help design the park, but he does not agree to meet. His secretary told us to make an appointment first, and the date that he is available to meet us is next four months. It is so long. We cannot wait. Then we heard that he likes to eat dessert in a store, so we went there hope to meet him, but he did not show up."
"Oh I see," Leslie nodded. He spun to Liu Kai Chi, "Uncle, you cannot touch sweets, but for your project, you dare to risk your health. I appreciate you so much."
"Don't laugh at me," Liu Kai Chi said with a smile. "You know already that doing business is a competition. We have to step fast or we will lose opportunity."
"That's jer..." Leslie stated then paused.
"Who?" Liu Kai Chi cocked his face.
"I mean that interior designer. Bai Ji Dan," Leslie edited his words.
"Uh," Liu Kai Chi wagged.
Leslie blew a slight wind; he felt relieved that he was able to change on time or he would be caught by old Liu about his secret with the guy.
At behind, Tat was listening with questions in his head. He spied an expression of the elder fox. He felt his coming today plus he talked about the dessert store that he had gone to on purpose to meet with Bai Ji Dan was not simple like he saw.
"There are many good interior designers. That guy is so rude. You should not waste your time with him. If you want, I can recommend it to you," Leslie stated.
"I want too, but I am not alone. There are many investors in the project and they want him," Liu Kai Chi explained.
"I see," Leslie nodded. "If so, you can go directly to his office or go to a restaurant that he goes to eat. Why do you go to the dessert store?"
"There is a special point or I won't bet my life on eating the sweet."
"What is it?"
"If I go to his office, I have to make an appointment. I thought of going to see him at a restaurant, but he does not go anywhere besides his club; like his office, I have to arrange an appointment first. But that dessert store..." Liu Kai Chi paused for two seconds then he claimed with a low voice, "I heard Bai Ji Dan likes a female seller in that store."
"Bai Ji Dan loves the seller in the dessert store?" Leslie opened eyes big.
Not only Leslie but also Tat. He was surprised to hear about that; however, he was very startled how the owner of Liu Group knew about this. The male confidant did not have a good feel about the old fox. He came to bring this information to his master, it seemed he was not having good intentions.
In contrast to Tat, Leslie was very interested in the news. He was trying to search for a weak point to attack the male that had ruined his body, now he felt he was meeting jackpot.
"How do you know? And where is that store?" Leslie asked.
"It's in Tsim Sha Tsui, about three blocks away from his club. The store is 'Cai Hong's sweet'," assistant of Liu Kai Chi described.
"Cai Hong's sweet," Leslie murmured.
"I sent my man to search for many months," Liu Kai Chi said.
"It is her," assistant of Liu Kai Chi handed a bunch of photos.
Leslie took and checked. In the photos, it was a lady about his age. She had straight long hair; she did not put much makeup and wore a simple dress but she looked very pretty.
There were images of her with a man and a child.
While Leslie was scanning the images, Liu's assistant added more description, "She names Cai Hong. This store belongs to her parents. Now her parents are retired. She inherited the store. She is married."
"She is married?" Leslie opened eyes.
"Yes, she is married three years already and she has a daughter about two years old. She and her husband run the store together."
It was a very big surprise; Leslie did not expect to hear such kind of information.
'That jerk loves a married woman. He is really a jerk.' Leslie rose his edge of lip.
"I heard that Bai Ji Dan usually goes to eat dessert in Cai Hong's store after lunch and mango pomelo sago is his favorite, so I go there and call that dessert. Ooh, sweet and cool.. my tongue and teeth are having a hard time," Liu Kai Chi stated. Then he poured tea into the cup and lifted it.
After the teapot was emptied, Li Kai Chi stood up, "I have to go now. I have a meeting."
"Yes, thanks. I will invite you to lunch later," Leslie rose.
"I see you off, Mr. Liu," Tat said and greeted his master's guest off the office.
Later, he came back to stand before his young master.
"That bastard has no shame. He loves a married woman," Leslie bit his teeth.
"Young master..." Tat wanted to say something, but Leslie cut him with tense voice, "You said that he is gay. How can he love a woman?"
"I don't know about this," Tat said. "But young master, you already know what kind of person Mr. Liu is. So, I think you should not believe his information."
"If you want to know if it is true or not, go to check," Leslie stated.
Hearing that, Tat was silent.
Young Wong bit his teeth. His eyes showed sparks. In his mind was speaking, 'Bai Ji Dan, let's see how long you can hide the painting.'30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3cAbp8WiL
