Chapter 262 New journey
"B-b-boss! I-is this you?" Gu Wei was stammering as he showed her a screenshot of the girl in Xiao Mimi’s teaser. He didn’t even notice Yu Chen’s glare at him because of him blocking their way.
Xiaolei simply raised a brow when she saw it. Her face didn’t give anything away as she asked, "You think it’s me?"
Her question and her expression made Gu Wei gulped.
"Well..." was all he could say. It looked like the usually talkative and nosy guy was suddenly tongue tied.
Xiaolei moved and looked at Gu Wei’s phone’s screen again, as if she was trying to confirm if the girl was really herself. "Hmm... she really does look like me. Gu Wei, do you think she’s my long lost twin? Or my doppelganger?"
Gu Wei blinked. He glanced at his phone again and was about to speak but the couple actually took advantage of that short moment and they already walked passed him, leaving him standing there, extremely confused.
He was wearing an indescribable expression as he watched his two bosses kissed each other before they entered inside their respective cars. Was this girl on the teaser really just his lady boss’ doppelganger? But they looked too much alike!
Gu Wei was incredibly torn. The thought that Xiao Mimi was his boss’ doppelganger was a little hard to believe. But then, it was actually harder for him to believe that this ever so busy CEO of an empire, this oh-so-business-like lady, this assertive wife of his boss and the mother of two little buns was actually Xiao Mimi! Gu Wei couldn’t believe it; he didn’t want to believe it.
Shaking his head, Gu Wei mumbled to himself. "No way, my Xiao Mimi is still single. Yeah, the lady boss is right, she’s just a doppelganger. And Xiao Mimi is way prettier compared to the stern lady boss, no? Ah, and they didn’t even confirm that that girl in the video is Xiao Mimi, right?! Tsk, tsk, Gu Wei... calm down! That girl might be just a new actress. Wait, could it be that lady boss actually became an actress? Hahaha, no way!"
...
Later that day, almost every employee in Yu empire, most especially the ladies, kept glancing at Xiaolei. They have the same curiosity flashing in their eyes like how Gu Wei stared at her so Xiaolei could already tell what everyone was thinking. Of course, she ignored them all. Xiaolei always wore business suits and a strict face at work so the employees were obviously more doubtful than Gu Wei. She also never wore her hair down at work so everyone was having a hard time in figuring out whether she was really that stunning and fresh like spring flower girl in the viral video clip.
Of course, no one dared to ask and in the end, they seemed to have settled with the same conclusion as Gu Wei’s, causing Xiaolei to smile inwardly. She was kind of enjoying the little secret she had. She wondered if she would miss this feeling when she would finally reveal herself to the world.
It was another hectic day. Xiaolei was busy wrapping up all the things she needed to finish before stepping down and Yu Chen was also doing the same.
And thus, time quickly went by and it was finally the most awaited third day. It was late afternoon when Xiaolei called for a sudden meeting. The employees were puzzled because Xiaolei didn’t ask for any report or presentation. When Xiaolei suddenly started thanking everyone, the employees began to feel somewhat sad. When they saw the former CEO weeks ago, everyone already knew that one of this days, their lady boss would surely step down and the tyrant Yu Chen will take over again. They already saw this coming but they didn’t expect it to be so soon.
"This will be my last day as Yu Empire’s CEO." She finally declared and everyone became depressed. They liked Luo Xiaolei not because she was more lenient than Yu Chen. They liked her because she was not like Yu Chen, who seemed to be seeing nothing but datas and results. She also knew how to give necessary and well deserved praises and encouragement, unlike the cold Yu Chen. They thought that they will surely miss her leadership. At the same time, they were worried on how would they adjust for the upcoming blizzard that would surely arrive tomorrow.
After bidding her final goodbye, everyone stood and bowed towards her. They all expressed their gratitude and after one more hour, Xioalei finally left the CEO’s office.
She was dressed with a simple yet sophisticated pair of shirt and jeans when she stepped out. She was wearing a black eyeglasses and she let her silky black hair down. Of course, the few employees who saw her as she walked towards the private elevator alongside her doll-like bodyguard gasped in utter surprise.
"Oh god? T-that lady!! I-isnt she our boss?"
"You’re right! It is her!! I told you, she’s that girl in the video!!"
"My goodness, what the hell does this mean?"
As they started to gossip to each other, Xiaolei was already gone.
She left the Yu Empire’s headquarters with a confident smile. She had grown an attachment to this huge company, she was not going to deny that. Well, this company was her hubby’s castle after all, how could she not love it? But she knew that this was not the place she belongs to. This place was where her husband’s throne’s reside. Actually, she wouldn’t mind sitting right next to his throne if needed but Xiaolei knew that she was given this second chance in life not to chase power again, she was here to chase her dream and live the most of her life with her beloved and her new family.
Thinking about it, Xiaolei stared at the sky and let the breeze caressed her face. Its finally time. It’s finally time for her to fly. A new journey will finally start.
