PRISONER OF LOVE LOVE THE WIDOWER

THE SEASON 3 Part 10. The Grey Zone 1

Brother Cheng hasn't answered anything in these three days, I don't dare to call him. Maybe he disagreed, three days he didn't ask anything, not a single message.

Maybe my rainbow is small, we have only met 4 times and I directly pointed it with the question. It was like a sudden proposal, I had two weeks left until the meeting of 100 shareholders, I had to find a strong alliance as soon as possible.

I was in the show gallery four days later, the new Director of Operations, I had a mandate, and they were putting together a display for the new season.

"Miss, there's Mr. Anthony Cheng looking for you downstairs." Suddenly he comes now. What was?

"Ohh? All right, let him ride." I'm going up to the office. He's here looking for me? Wh why? Various thoughts run through my brain.

"Sihlakan Mister, ..." He's in I see him again now. Someone who might be my husband, I don't know, he might be from the office like before. I still see him in his work clothes.

"You busy?"

"Nothing is too important today. Office hours are almost over."

But the phone on my desk rang back.

"Miss, there's Mr. Nathan Chow here to see you too."

"Nathan Chow?" I looked at Brother Cheng. How can they come together like this.

"What does he want?"

"Let's go, I think he'll ask me if I want to be with him or not. Might be the last question before she goes on with my step-sister like I told you."

"I don't think I want to show up right now, it better be a surprise on the 25th."

"Ohhh, ..." Turns out Brother Cheng agreed to my request? "So I'll just meet him now?" Since he agreed, I think I need to tell him what I'm going to do.

"Yes, you can meet him."

"All right." I directed the reception to direct Nathan to the meeting room. "Let's go first Brother Cheng."

"Yes." Yeah."

I'm heading to the meeting room now. He agreed, that was all I had in mind.

Nathan sat in the meeting room on the same floor as mine.

"Nathan, what are you doing here?"

"It's been ten years since our last meeting, because I'm here, from our meeting I'd like to hear for myself what your decision is." He sat cross his legs arrogantly in front of me.

"My decision remains the same, I refuse cooperation with you. Nothing has changed." I answered him calmly.

"So you want your stepbrother to take this opportunity?"

"Yes sihlakan. I'll choose my own way."

"Fine, you seem very clever. I'll see how you cry later. It'll be too late for you."

And he left now, I returned to my room where Brother Cheng was waiting for me.

"He's gone." I walked in and he sat quietly on the sofa with a cell phone in his hand.

"She said something?"

"There's nothing new other than him saying I'd regret not accepting his offer."

I sat down on the sofa next to him, a little tangent on how to open up further conversation.

"Objection if we go for a walk. Let me drive?"

"Ohh well, of course I can."

Get in the car. I think my heart started acting up again, but it seemed that he was not affected, he was driving quietly, while I waited for what he wanted to talk about.

"Are you hungry?" Now it was Brother Cheng who opened the question first.

"Yes, maybe we can have dinner."

"Your favorite?"

"Japanese Food. Do you like it?" I'm not sure what he's doing, is this like a courtship introduction? He asked for a favorite meal?

"i like. Restaurant's name?" I mentioned a restaurant in Shanghai.

"All right, we're there."

"You're trying to sort of know what my favorite is or something like that? Like a dating guy maybe?" I looked at her and smiled, as in the past, the high school days as possible, where I was not yet a full-fledged forger, was still a happy girl waiting.

"Well, maybe." He returned my smile.

"You agree?"

"I haven't said that."

"Ohh... Then?" Turns out he didn't agree that soon, but why did he say he was coming on the 25th.

"The fact is I may not be able to decide in 7 days, but maybe I can agree to be your partner and maybe help in the next six months, but personal relationships, make bonds, maybe I can agree to be your partner, I obviously can't decide that in seven days. It was like gambling with my life, such a thing would not happen with the exchange of business deals."

"Oh well I understand." He's more logical than me, obviously. He didn't want to get into the scenario I created. So what do I do now. "But you want to help me attend the 25th party,..."

"That's possible, my father and my family agreed about helping you, but as for personal bonding, I can't decide that fast." Turns out he didn't want to trade business deals and family deals. That's a lighter condition for me.

"Yes well, I understand what you mean."

"Say what's your plan B?" He suddenly asked.

"Why should I tell you?" He hasn't even agreed to anything yet.

"Because you've offered me a bond, I won't harm you, but you must learn to trust me."

This Cheng brother has a good mind I think. However she was divorced, maybe she doesn't want to go through failure again. And this is to make us trust each other, he's willing to help me. That's good actually.

"You're on my side now, are you sure?"

"I'm on your side, there's no way I'm leaking your plans to the Chow family or your father."

"alright. But how about eating first, I'm hungry Koko..." I leaned against the middle back of the car, looking at him fixedly.

He's handsome not a shame to be held in. At least I have a handsome gang than Nathan Chow sucks with Papa's lovable snot.

** call change koko aja more match hehehe

"Well, the place isn't far away anyway."

"Thank you,..." I thank him for being so kind to help me.

Maybe Brother Cheng thinks I'm ugly, he's heard my reputation he said. She was so scared of falling into my trap.

I grimace silently now. He was afraid I was manipulating him, totally disbelieving me I thought after this. But yesterday at our dinner he was more open, as he thought again these few days maybe he thought I might have deliberately set a trap for him.

That's what I thought I thought.

We arrived at the restaurant we were going to. Walking side by side like we were both colleagues from the office. I decided it was better that I didn't try to move forward to influence him, the important thing is that he helped me. I'll be honest about what I'm going to do in the next six months.

"Where are you?" I picked a rather corner table so we could talk more calmly.

"Yes can."

We chose the sushi set we wanted, she opened with a light talk while we ate.

"You want us to go to Shanghai together later?"

"On the 24th I still have a meeting, the meeting's on the 25th night, isn't it?"

"I'm 25 in the morning just leaving here, is that okay for you?"

"All right, it's up to Koko."

"Now I want to know your plan to face ."

"You're a big favor, but the other shareholders can't possibly shift without the help of the Chow family's arch-enemy, even though Uncle's trying I don't think that's Papa's name..."

"I actually think so, too, what do you have a plan for."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'll try to find support for Philip Leung. I have a link to Philip Leung, I want him to come in as an ally, he's the only strong man who can face the influence of the Chow family and my Papaku who have been entrenched in the company for a long time."

"You've been at odds with Philip Leung how you got access to Philip Leung." Brother Cheng was immediately astonished.

"I have a brother-in-law, Philip Leung's right hand."

"Where's my brother-in-law? You're the oldest son." He was immediately astonished.

"I'm not the oldest son." He added a bit. "Alright, I actually have two Papa guys."

"Ohh yeah? Who is your father, why do you call him Papa. Wong Lee Man isn't your real Papa?! How did you get away with being a real child?" He immediately made a conspiracy story in his head.

"Maybe Koko doesn't know... Long ago,..." I told you all about my family's very fucked-up history. He listened to it without blinking. He doesn't know about Papa Lam and how our family started, of course.

"Arnold Lam's. So he called you his daughter."

"Yes all his children were good to me, his current wife, and my sister who was the son of Papa Lam. They all consider me family. But actually my mom didn't know I was making up with Papa. I hated Papa Lam... The story is very long. Actually messed up, you could say I just calmed down after the last years. Koko don't tell Mama what I'm telling you...."

"It looks like you're a notorious gangster in Hong Kong for your fucked-up life." I smile.

"Yes maybe ..."

"You've got a good strategy preparation, in six months you should be able to attract the support of the shareholders. Dad said he might be able to influence some people, but he wasn't sure he could beat the Chow family and your father."

"I know, taking Dad off from the CEO is hard, but not impossible..."

"Your mother agrees?"

"I haven't actually told you I can work on Philip Leung's support. But I guess they're also out of options."

"Yes well, it seems that Wong Lee Man will be defeated by his own daughter. You're a very fucked up family." He was laughing and blatant now.

I was silent, she was right, our family was fucked up, I was a girl with a bad reputation, I was used to being stamped bad, I didn't care, but when Brother Cheng said it, I did, there was a pain coming.

By looking at this he probably won't agree to have a personal relationship with me. Yes, I'm not that good. After all he agreed to stand beside me was already a big help.

"I want to go home Ko." Now I'm moving straight away. My mood's down to the bottom, but I can't ruin this relationship.

"Oh, you want to go home?"

"Tomorrow I have a morning meeting. Let me pay the bill first."

"Why did you pay?" I'll pay."

"Nothing."

"No." He finally handed over the card. I waited for him beside her quietly. Whatever happens, I can't break the Cheng family's support. The others I'll handle with my Uncle and Mama.

"Thank you Ko." I'm not gonna make him feel uncomfortable with anything, business partner. That's all I expected.

We got into the car then. I kept quiet all the way to the apartment.

"Is something wrong?"

"No. What does that mean?"

"You look very quiet,..."

"Sorry, there's a lot of stuff going on in my head. Is there anything I want to ask you again?"

"I may not be able to leave Shanghai very often, but Dad in Hong Kong will help you if you need help. When I get back to Shanghai, I'll introduce you to Dad." He will rarely be in Hong Kong, how can we be together, that's clear. It was in vain that I said I liked it, shameful...

"Yes, I'm very grateful for Koko's help, of course I won't interfere with Koko's work in Shanghai." My lips extended a smile, covering up the growing disappointment.

"When are you going to Hong Kong?"

"The 22nd I guess. But I was still back and forth to Shanghai in the following month, I just took up a functional position one month ahead. I have to make sure Philip Leung joins and guarantees 51% of the votes to replace the CEO."

I said all my plans were clear to him to make him confident that our alliance would be profitable, and I secured my support for the next six months.

"If you need help don't hesitate to call Dad or me."

"I'll try not to bother Koko. I've spent 8 years of my career in my own father's office, ... Maybe Nathan will try to get into a functional position, he's ambitious to be CEO, I'll make him suffer there, there's a lot I can do... I'll be busy when I get back. That ban*gsat's gonna know who he's dealing with."

It seems that the fight ahead will be thrilling. Nathan Chow dares to set foot on my territory, I'll make sure he's all moons.

"You sound excited."

"I've always liked the commotion..." Brother Cheng looked at me who was smiling coldly. I'm not going to put on a mask anymore, soft girl, she's not interested in me anyway. I'll show you, if you're my enemy, I'll gladly make trouble in front of you.

"I'll tell Dad 80% we'll win." Now he's laughing.

I'm quiet, there's a lot to do up front. But apparently dating is not included. I had too good dreams these few days.
