Chapter 7: Mei Past
"Grandpa you don't need to worry about that anymore. I have someone I'm interested in". I reassured him
"Really?". He said acting like a baby whose been promised a box of candy.
"Yes, really"
"I just need her to love me back". I told grandpa, because I heard he was good with women back in his days.
"You got good genes, the money, face, background an.. Ohh I think I know the problem now". He said as if he suddenly realized something.
"Son you're too cold, don't joke around and have a stiff face"
"A stuff face?". I look a lot like him, so why the sudden change of praises.
"Think of it, if you were to be locked up in the den of lions, what would you think?". Loin den, is this some kind of words with wisdom?
"You'll think you're being punish for past deeds". I still don't get it.
"I thought you were good with women but I guess wrong". I need an advisor.
"I am, and there's one action a woman like the most ". He paused waiting for me to complete his words.
"Which is?". I asked. I can tell he'll bring up something unreasonable again.
"Money, but if she as money the affection will do". He said smiling proudly at himself.
"Gosh, how did you and grandma work things out. I know this stuffs already". I can't believe he was a love guru or it may have been his looks after all.
"I'm off to bed pops". I said knowing he hate it when I call him pops.
"You little...". I left be for he got a chance to curse at me.
The following day I went to work early. I searched it up last night in how to make a girl fall for you.
Most searched said if you pay less attention to the one you love they will realize that they are on the verge of losing someone important and be more truthful about their feelings.
I told my grandpa but he suggested that it was a bad idea.
The following morning I came to the company early.
"Morning sir you came early today, here are the files". Miss.Mei said but I didn't respond as early like I normally do.
"Drop the there and get me a cup of coffee". I told her but she didn't ask to know if I'll go for something else before she left.
"Knock knock". I heard knocks from my office door. It's definitely not Mei.
"Enter". I said coldly.
"Boss I'm sorry for the delay, it took us a very long time to get her complete information". My informant said as he drop the documents holding the information of Miss.Mei.
"You may live". I said glancing at the documents.
The file clearly record her marriage and what lead to the divorce, her family name, her history on her associate and the fact she was a suspect in a murder case.
"There's no way my grandpa would allow her in our family. I can't simply ruin my relationship with my grandpa for a woman". I tried convincing myself but I don't think I can.
