All the board of directors came out of the boardroom headed by the company's chairman, Ray.
The meeting was finally completed after lasting for over an hour. Meeting about the return of Alex, the man now occupies the position he had long left for several years.
"Congratulations." Say something to Alex.
Only two middle-aged men remained in the meeting room. They look at each other.
"Thank you." Answer Alex.
"If you think about it, I'm like your stunt double huh? It's so funny." Said the middle-aged man, Yohan.
"What do you mean?" Ask Alex in his tone.
"You're easily gone and left everything behind, and I'm replacing what you left behind. Then when you get back, everything easily gets back into your grasp." Yohan.
Alex scrunched his forehead, he seemed to still not understand the intentions of his former rival.
"I don't understand what you're saying, but if it's because you don't like me. Shouldn't there be no more grudges between us?" Alex replied to Yohan.
"Rudge? I don't think that's what I meant. I just don't like your hypocritical attitude." Yohan.
Alex smiled smirkily,
"Are we exchanging characters? Since when did you become such an envious person?"
"Whatdidyou say? Envy? Who did you say envious huh?!"
"Vice CEO Yohan, I don't know what you're talking about. But I understand the core of what you say. Everything I left behind, you mean it was Nana and this CEO position right? You replaced me as a father figure to Nana, and also as a temporary CEO after Ray's brother was appointed chairman of the company. But when I came back, Nana spent a lot of time with me and looked closer to me. Then, I took your CEO position and you dropped the position to become the deputy CEO. That's why you said you were my stunt double. Is that right, isn't it?"
Yohan was silent, she looked at Alex as before, expressionless, the now middle-aged man was still good at hiding his emotions well.
"I'm not interested in the job. But I really don't like it when you get too close to Nana. Look Alex, oh no, I mean CEO Alex, you have to remember that if I was Nana's father, I raised him. So don't think about taking it from me." Yohan said, after saying that, she turned to look back at Alex.
"I'm his real father." Alex said as Yohan wanted to open the door to the room.
"Nana doesn't need an irresponsible biological father like you. You used to leave him, but now that you're approaching him, I don't know what your motives are. But I won't let you do anything bad to him." Yohan said, then went out of the meeting room.
The door of the room closed again, leaving Alex staring blankly at the closed door.
"Jeez, what's wrong with him?" Alex asked himself, the middle-aged man sighed while shaking his head, astonished by Yohan's strange demeanor.

"Feng!" Rose called out to a man who was walking in front of her.
The man looked towards Rose. In an instant, a smile instantly etched onto Feng's face upon discovering that Rose was calling out to him.
Rose ran over to Feng who was not far from her.
"What's wrong?" Feng asked as Rose had already arrived before the man.
Rose smiled at a glance, then opened her bag and picked up the book from inside there. It was the book that Feng had loaned Rose, yesterday-yesterday Rose wanted to return it, but there was never a chance for them to meet again.
"It." Rose said as she thrust out the thick book.
"Ah book yes. Have you finished reading it?" Feng asked, his hand moving taking the book.
Rose nodded her head,
"Yes. Once again thank you for lending me your book, not only the material left behind that I can learn in it, but also the material that is difficult to find in other books, I can learn it from your book. It's a hard book to get." Rose said with a big smile.
"really? I'm glad to hear that. If you need another course book, I can lend it to you." Said Feng.
"Em, next time I'll definitely borrow your book again."
"I'm looking forward to it." Said Feng.
"You're such a freak, how could you expect someone to borrow something from you. Are you a lending place, huh?" Said Rose with a joke accompanied by her little laugh.
"Yes, but it only applies to one person. Only Rose can borrow anything from me." Said Feng, he said it with his eyes flashing next door, replying to the joke from Rose.
"Gosh Feng, that mouth of yours is really good at saying sweet things."
"You must not misunderstand, my sweet words are for you as well." Feng said, making Rose unable to stop her little laugh.
The two men and women continued to throw their jokes at each other and then laughed together. Without them noticing, the person behind the tree behind Rose was irritated by the closeness of the two people.
Yuan took out the key to Rose's apartment from his pants pocket, he stared at the key with his grin. An idea came to his head.
"Hey stupid!" Calling Yuan who then emerged from behind the tree, the man opened the mask and hat he was wearing.
"Yuan?" Rose muttered, she did not expect that the man had come to the campus.
Yuan walked closer to them, all the disguises he had done to get into the classroom without many people knowing it seemed like he had failed himself.
Now everyone was looking at him, as usual, Yuan the thief's figure of the girls' attention.
"Key your apartment." Yuan said on his final step right in front of Rose. The man thrust the keys to the apartment into Rose's face.
"What are you doing?" Rose's Whisper to Yuan.
Rose glanced around, she felt a piercing chill. The gazes of the girls who were already swarming were like wild animals finding their prey.
"Well, don't misunderstand me, I accidentally dropped my apartment key, and he intends to return it toβ"
"I've been drying the clothes you were washing this morning, I've also washed dishes and taken out the trash. So don't forget to cook good again tonight." Yuan said, interrupting Rose's explanation to the girls.
"What did Yuan say?"
"They can't live together, right?"
"That woman, she's so sneaky."
"Did he sell himself to Yuan?"
"It seems I need to imitate her, her tactics of pursuing Yuan's love are really extreme."
"It's cheap."
"My heart is broken."
The whispers of the girls were clearly heard in Rose's ears, no matter how hard she tried to ignore them, but they were still very sensitive, she was not deaf.
"Why are you saying that? You want everyone to know that we live together?" Rose asked who whispered back to Yuan.
The man seemed to be unconcerned by Rose's words. Yuan stuffed his hand into his pants pocket, staring at the girl in front of him for a moment. Then his gaze turned to the man who was still standing behind Rose.
"What if they know we live together?" Yuan said without shrinking his voice in the least.
Rose widened her eyes, not expecting Yuan to say that, her hand spontaneously moved to shut Yuan's mouth, lest the man speak carelessly anymore.
"Everything, this is just a misunderstanding. You know, this Yuan guy likes to joke around. Ha-ha-ha, that's so funny." Rose tried to explain as much as possible, even though she knew it was a waste.
"Follow me." Rose's whisper then pulled Yuan away from the crowd.
"Rose~" Feng called out to Rose who walked away with a hand pulling on Yuan's arm
Feng could only sigh, he again failed to get close to Rose, there was always an obstacle when he wanted to invite Rose to go both ways.
