Mark of the destiny

"Do you know anyone from the kitchen staff or chefs of Unicharm company?" Suyin asked James over the phone. Since he was in the food industry and was well acquainted with almost all the contractors and chefs, she tried her luck.     

She heard some shuffling noise over the phone as he didn't reply for a good twenty seconds. "What did you say? Unicharm? That personal care company?"     

"Yes,"     

Once more he took a few seconds.     

"Mmmm…. Good boy! Now, take it whole…. That's it! Now suck it. More…more…. Like it?"     

Suyin "…."     

"JAMIE, YOU BASTA--" Suyin stopped as her interns threw a curious look, "—bastard! Haven't you said you are only taking a break from Evan? It's temporary. I can't believe you are doing THIS behind his back. Tell me who that rascal is, I kill him first before killing you. Horny man!"     

James "….."     

"Shut up, Susu. Go wash that corrupt brain of yours. Don't forget to use holy water," His bitter voice echoed in her ear. "I'm teaching my cocker Spaniel puppy how to lap milk with a bottle. Rubbish."     

Suyin "…"     

"Cocker Spaniel? Since when? Why?"     

"What why? I'm alone now, my house is not a house without you and Evan. So, I got a puppy as a companion. But I'm already regretting my decision. He shits!"     

"…."     

"So, as you, dumbo!"     

Again, there was a brief pause, probably he was out of words in front of Suyin's valid point.     

"Argh….. Whatever! I'll just return him back and buy a fish aquarium instead. At least I would be spared of washing someone's butt."     

Suyin looked as Chen Wenwei entered the conference room. With a raise of a finger, Suyin mouthed one minute. "There's a reason I've bought a three-bedroom apartment. Okay? Now, can you please do the work I've asked? It's urgent."     

"You are the best. I love you! Give me two hours. I'll get back to you."     

She put the phone down, "I thought you were busy with this Tampon case with your legal team!"     

"I am. But there is something..." Wenwei looked at the interns, and Suyin excused herself and left to talk to Wenwei in her office.     

"It's about the post you asked me to write on Qi Wren. I forgot to tell you it was up this morning and have already become of one the most searched topic. As expected, people are making things up."     

"That's what they are best at. Let them add two and two and make it five. As of now, my only concern is the case against Unicharm. Xiu Mei is keeping track if they are shipping any more orders. Guess what? They are continuously sending samples to different women. Thankfully, we've informed them already."     

Wenwei took the seat, "What if someone informs the company?"     

"They won't. I've already told them everything. These women are social influencers, if they side with the company it will destroy their career as well. And it's a sensitive issue, they understand it." Suyin swiveled away in her chair.     

She's not naïve to let her guards down completely. She had told them the ministry had been taking the issue seriously, and they would treat any party involved as an ally of the company, deemed to receive the same punishment.     

"Um… one thing more—" Wenwei hesitated for a moment, but anyway speak her mind. "Are you sure we should not take stay order from the court? Won't it be too risky? Soon the company would start sending the product to the sellers to make it readily available to go on the shelf after launch i.e. 7 days later."     

"Don't worry. I'll do something about it." Suyin pondered for a few seconds, then replied. "You just keep things ready from your side. I'll personally fetch the most important piece of evidence."     

******     

Chen Wenwei had just left and Suyin dialed Wang Shi's number.     

She had just opened her mouth…..     

"I was thinking about you." Wang Shi said briskly.     

A smile came on hearing the sweet words in his raspy voice. He surely has a double Ph.D. in this field. Just how smooth he was!     

"Wang Shi!"     

"C'mon! Give me a proper answer. In tough times, these small things make a vast difference and pump the energy to continue fighting."     

She bit her lower lip, her heart rippled. He was so true. Just by hearing his voice, her battery was fully charged.     

"Me too. You are always on my mind. Unless I'm engrossed in work."     

Her cheeks turned red as she said that.     

He chuckled, "Thank God, I'm not the only one in this."     

Suyin closed her eyes; his words tickled her heart. To know they were feeling the same and how beautiful this feeling had been— turned her hot.     

"I need your help."     

"Yeah, tell me."     

"Can I borrow your assistant for some time?"     

He let out a sigh, "I should start learning IT. Even my woman is interested in my assistant. Poor boss!"     

"No! I'm only interested in the handsome doctor who has the world's cutest son. Your assistant is just to help me in the field I'm the dumbest at."     

"In that case, I should thank Honey that you said yes to us. I'll treat him for this." The smile refused to leave her lips. The more she heard his voice, the more relaxed she felt. "I'll message you Daiyu's number. He's on your duty for as long as you want."     

Hanging up, she looked at the phone, feeling empty in the heart. Not a second later she received a message from him. Daiyu's number.     

Wang Shi hung up and looked at the person standing in the balcony. It's been hours, but Junjie had been standing there, refusing to talk to Wang Shi.     

He was upset about being stopped by Wang Shi and Xiu Mei to take any action against the culprits. Otherwise, he had already ordered his team to kidnap and bring them to the container yard where he would handle them personally.     

The door to his room opened and Xiu Mei came in....     

"Sister Mei Mei—" he paused, seeing Fei Hong behind Xiu Mei.
