Chapter 2 Works

One week slipped and Faith was in her office. Her office at 21th floor in Xu city. In there the view of China is exquisite. Even though the surroundings are busy she can still enjoy what the sunset has to offer. However, as pleasing as the sunset goes Faith can’t ignore her paper works.

“Ma’am, I’m here to inform you that your parents arrived at the airport at this moment.” Her secretary announced. Faith sighed, removed her glasses and stretched her arms up.

“So, did they told you that I have to go to the airport to lovingly welcome them?” she said with a hint of sarcasm. She knows that her assistant is simply informing but hey, she’s tired she’s working 36 hours straight. She can’t go to the airport to welcome them if that’s what her parent’s want right? She can welcome them at home.

“No, ma’am but your grandparents are with them.” Her assistant said casually. “And you have to go home early as they instructed.” She continued.

Great! Just great her grandparents! “Hey Kacey, what year is it?” Faith asked her assistant.

“Year 2018 Ma’am?” Kacey answered. Her face has question mark on it. Like why would her boss suddenly ask what year is it.

“And we are at the same age right?” Faith ask another weird question.

“Errr, Yes?” Kacey answered. Okay, her boss is sometimes weird.

“Lastly, what age are we now?” Faith asked again.

“We are 23, if I’m right you are turning 24 in 1-month ma’am. Ma’am are you… okay?” Her assistant hesitantly asked.

“Ha-ha! Well I’m just testing you. You, suddenly informing me that my grandparents are here is not normal. I thought maybe you are dreaming and decided to sleep talk on me. Well… you know just like what happens on movies.?” Faith answered like she wasn’t sure if that really happened on movies.

Kacey is holding her laughter, her boss is really cute when embarrassed her ears and cheeks are really red. It is very evident because her skin is smoothly white. She wanted to tease her but that can cause her, her precious salary.

*Cough* “Okay then ma’am. I will assume to my post.” Kacey said dismissing herself.

Faith was really embarrassed! Thank God her assistant did not decided to tease her. Who would buy that lame reason? And sleep talking? That is really plain lame. But scratch that embarrassment there is a bigger problem she was about to face--her dear grandparents! Her grandparents lived in Japan because according to them since young, they always dreamt of living there. They are very old fashioned from their way of clotting, manners, traditions and most especially on beliefs. But they are genius when it comes to business and if not because of them she can’t be handling branches of supper malls right now.

Yes! She is Faith Wu from the famous Wu family. The Wu family is one of the business genius among 5 families. When it comes to business they almost owned the most of the malls and factories in China so they make and sell. She is the sole heir of Wu Business empire because of one child policy. You may have guessed it but she’s well protected, loved, and spoiled so she’s a natural bitch that’s why she doesn’t have friends because people can’t handle her attitude.

“Hah!” Faith released a big sigh. Her grandparents are really a big pain in the ***. When the heads of the family suddenly came, it’s not always a good news, for Faith especially. As what Kacey said she’s 23 years old so her grandparents will stress her about marriage. She isn’t sure if it’s about marriage but still it could be her marriage. Dealing with her grandparents will be tough, maybe tougher than working 36 hours straight.

*Ring Ring Riiinnnnggggg!! * Her phone rang, she saw her mother listed on the caller’s id. She’s angry at her Mom why didn’t she warn her about her dear grandparents? If only she did maybe she could have done something… Something like running away from them!

“Hello…” She answered her phone. She tried her best to hide her irritation but still her voice sounded angry.

“Hey Faith! Are you at work?” Her mom answered. She could hear her granddad and father talking about business.

“Yes, I’m at my office and was about to head home.” She answered. Shit! I’m not dreaming! My grandparents are really home!

Author’s Note:

Hello! Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much for reading. Please like and comment below. I can accept criticisms as long as it can help in improving my story. As you’ve observed the names of my characters are from western. I’m sorry but I don’t know any Chinese name. I think it’s much better to remember them when are from western. This story is not based on historical events that happened in China long way back, so don’t expect anything. The names, characters, places and scenarios are pure imaginations. They did not happen in real life.! As the story goes by it will explain every detail so it will have a lot of chapters. Lastly, bear with my wrong grammars I do recheck them every time but I still miss some.

Again thank you so much for reading!
