A Billion Dollar Exchange

77 Magnificen

Liling walked few yards away from her home and stopped beside a coffee shop.

She opened her hand bag and brought out the folded contract. She turned to the last page were she had seen his number.

Taking out her phone from the bag she dialed his number.

"Hello?"

Liling cleared her throat and spoke calmly.

"Mr Liu Wei, it\'s Liling, ...I\'m ready to start work"

She didn\'t hear any response from the other side for sometime, but as she was about to ask if he was still there, he finally spoke up.

"Where are you, I\'ll send someone to get you"

....

Liling couldn\'t believe the sight in front of her.

\'So a house as beautiful as this exists in Beijing?\'

She felt as though she was in another earth. Liu Wei\'s home was magnificent.

The man who drove her helped her carry her bag as he led her to the large estate.

Liling tried not to stare too much, it was embarrassing.

If this was just the outside, how would the inside look like?

She thought to herself, as she awed at the beauty of his home.

Mr Liu Wei sure has great taste!

The man led her to another gate inside the compound, and as they approached, it automatically opened by itself.

He led her to the living room and took her bag away. Liling wasn\'t told to sit, so she remained standing.

In reality, she was even afraid to sit on the majestic cushions, she felt she would stain them with her body.

The living room looked as though no-one used them. Like it was just for a show. Everything was breathing money. Even the floor she stood on were made with glass tiles, she felt that if she moved too much, she was going to break them.

\'God!, poverty is a disease!!\'

She stood for about twenty minutes before a lady in her thirties pushed open a large door and walked out wearing a beautiful smile on her face.

"Dear, I\'m so sorry for keeping you waiting, what\'s your name? " The woman walked up to Liling and held her by the hands as she led her to the doors she just came out of.

"Liling, Lee Liling "

"Awwn, a beautiful name for a beautiful lady"

"I\'m Qianru, and I\'m in charge of employees here. You are welcome Liling."

She gestured Liling to seat on a cushion inside the room she just led her to, she took her seat afterwards.

"You\'ve been assigned to work as a personal maid to the young master, but I must warn you this is a very stressful job because of the complicated nature of Young Master Liu Wei.

\'Haha, I wish this was a job I could lose, I would gladly lose it!\'

Liling thought in her heart, it was obvious that the lady didn\'t know the nature of her job. Though she knew she couldn\'t lose her job, she knew better than to do anything to annoy Mr Liu Wei.

Qianru told her many rules and regulations, which Liling paid rapt attention to.

"I don\'t know why Young Master Liu Wei assigned the room next to his, to you, do you have a special relationship with him? "

Qianru asked, slightly raising her brows.

"No!, not at all"

Liling replied abruptly. She shook her head to negate what Qianru just said.

"Mm, okay, is just that, no-one stays upstairs, just the young master. Maybe, he wants you to be able to perform your duties properly"

Qianru said and Liling nodded in agreement.
