A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 52

"Well? "Don't you have company business to attend to? If not so, it'd be OK to have Paul pick me up."

"Everything was done, just wait for me." He said and hung up before Linda could speak out.

While listening to the busy signal, Linda pouted her little mouth as if she was bullied by Charles Mu.

How could he always act so peremptorily?

After hanging up the phone, Charles Mu put on his jacket and were ready to leave, which confused Mary Zhang, the secretary who was responsible for minutes.

"Mr.Mu, are you going out?"

Yes.

"But, if I may remind you, there will be a key meeting in 10 minutes."

Charles Mu glanced at his watch and left the office with his car key, "Put it off until tomorrow."

"OK."

After Charles Mu stepped out the office, Mary Zhang cast a glance at receding figure of Charles.

Who had that kind of power to distract the CEO from attending an important meeting this afternoon by a single call?

Mary Zhang was all for gossip and she hurried to talk about this breaking news with her colleagues as soon as Charles Mu was out of sight.

"Hey, guess what. Mr. Mu put off a vital meeting and left with his car key after receiving a phone call." Mary Zhang whispered with her female colleagues who sat next to her.

"Pfff, how could this possibly matter? It must have been be a business partner, more important than the meeting this afternoon."

"How is this possible? I have never heard him in such a tender voice." "It must have been a woman!" Mary Zhang retorted.

"Really?" "Could it be a girfriend?"

Without the presence of their boss, Mary Zhang and the rest indulged in exchanging whispers of of gossip.

"You know what? There has been a rumour going around that Mr. Mu was engaged with the eldest lady of the Xia clan. You see, the Xia Clan has been going downward economically these years. They are clutching at straws, trying to save themselves by this marriage with the Mu clan."

"Humph, I don't buy it. It is said that the so-called Lady Xia was not even raised by her parents and merely returned home recently. Well, who knows whether she is a real lady or not."

"That's true, How could she be worthy of our Mr. Mu? He is so young and handsome. I have been working here for two years and he has not flirted with anyone in the past two years as far as I know."

"Wow, you sure know a lot about who is right for Mr. Mu. Perhaps you would hit his fancy and become the future lady of the Mu clan."

While their gossiping were in full swing, there came a voice.

"Well? "Don't you got work to do? or do you want to quit?" It turned out the words came from Paul, who was standing behind them with a stern look.

These gossipers went into a panic. It was Paul Mu! He was so influential in this company that everyone here knew him. They all murmured, "I'm screwed." It's too bad that Paul heard they gossip about Mr. Mu.

He was a capable assistant and trusted follower of Charles Mu and was thus given considerable power. In the absence of Charles or his family, Paul was the one who called the shot.

"I am terribly sorry. It's all our fault. That will never happen again." The gossipers resumed their works as quickly as they could and dare not to look back.

"If I catch you gossiping about Mr. Mu next time, you can all go to the 11th floor."

On the 11th floor was the personnel department of the Mu's company, going to which meant you were sacked.

Glancing at these gossipers, Paul sniffed and let them off the hook.

Terrified as they were, those three women were breaking cold sweats.

Paul spent the morning running an errand for Charles Mu and now came back to report something to him. He was a little bit suprised at the absence of Charles Mu since an important meeting remained to be held this afternoon as far as he knew. Why did Charles leave ahead of schedule?

He was about to call Charles when Charles called.

"Young Master."

"Well, Have you done the thing I asked of you?"

"Yes, it has been done."

"I am going to pick up Linda. I want you to print a personnel file containing Bun's former life in the armed police force and deliver it to the lord of the Shen clan."

"What happened to Bun?" Paul wondered.

"Lily was detained by Sarah Shen, a lady of the Shen clan who graduated from Police College after an extended period of 5 years."

Paul was amused. He couldn't believe someone was audacious enough to detain Bun.

"Will do, Young Master."

After hanging up, Paul did exactly what he had been told and informed the lord of the Shen clan of what his darling grandaughter had done to Bun Then he told the lord to sort it out.

Afterwards, Paul hurried to the SH Municipal Public Security Bureau and stayed at its gate. If after three hours the Shen clan still wouldn't come to its senses and give in, Paul planned to break in the bureau to save Bun himself.

Bun had gave Paul a vivid description of how she had kicked Sarah Shen's butt, as a result of which Sarah Shen certainly held a grudge against Bun. Paul was worried that Sarah Shen may torture her.

Bun had gone through seven years of harsh training in the army. Paul was somewhat sad when thinking of that stubborn little girl back in those days.

Charles Mu was punctual. It took him less than 20 minutes to arrive at Huilian Mall. And then he walked directly to Linda.

Busying herself with the phone, Linda was startled at a sudden clap on her shoulder. She patted herself on the chest and said brusquely, "Are you a ghost? Why did you sneak upon me?"

"Whoa, that's how you show your gratitude? I shouldn't have come to pick you up"

Linda pouted prettily, "Well, I didn't force you to."

"Fine, I am off and you will go home on foot." Charles Mu then turned around and started leaving.

What a temper he had! Linda was angry as hell.

She yelled out with her hands on hips, "Charles Mu. Get your ass back here!"

Linda's yell attracted surrounding pedestrians' attentions and they turned around to look at her. Linda was certainly a nobody to them, whereas Charles Mu was a big shot in this city. If nothing happened, those busy shoppers might have overlooked the arrival of Charles.

However, what Linda had done drew their attentions and as a result, they looked towards where Linda and Charles were standing.

Yielding to Linda's demand, Charles Mu turned back reluctantly. Being the CEO of the company, he simply could not afford such public embarrassment.

What if someone shot a video of what they had done and started gossiping about him being hen-pecked? How would he ever redeem his image?

Charles Mu was upset by what had just happened, and so he pulled his arms around Linda's narrow waist and asked, "Linda, I'd like to talk to you."

"Huh?"

"Next time, don't ask me to 'get my ass back here' when there were so many people around. Not this phrase. It's embarrassing to me."

Linda chuckled at his worried expression and said, "Um, that depends on your attitude toward me."

In the interrogation room of the police bureau.

Bun's hands were handcuffed behind her back to the chair she was sitting on, and her legs were tied.

The chair was not a common one but a tailor-made electric chair for capital offenders including drug dealers and murderers.

'"Well, I am going to offer you an opportunity to lick our high heels clean, then I might consider going easy on you. How about that?"
