Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 904 - President's Personal Elevator.

Outside the palace, in the car, Su Ce sat fisting the foam pillow hard in his hands. Just looking at the way he has gripped it in between his fingers, anyone could feel the wrath he was feeling inside. His eyes were bloodshot red and looking at him like that, even his assistant was scared.

"Sir, should we start the ride back to the mansion?" After bringing his best courage, Pei Biming asked with hesitance laced in his voice. And seeing no reply coming in return, he even felt regret. Now that he has already asked one, he couldn't dare to ask again. Or maybe the fire of anger might get all directed on him. He stared at him and couldn't dare to voice out again.

"Drive back!" After a quite long while, finally, the command came and the assistant wanted to kneel in front of heaven doors to show his gratefulness.

But the next second, before he could order the driver to drive back to the mansion in the west, Su Ce added more of his words. "Drive to the Emerald De-Luxe and also book me a suite there. I won't be returning to the mansion tonight.." He said and the assistant had no other idea how he should stop him from doing whatever he had in his plans.

But at the moment, he also knew that he had no way to stop the prince. So sighing, he ordered the driver to drive straight to Emerald De-Luxe before getting on his phone to make the arrangements required. Even while making the calls for the man, he hoped that today's night wouldn't stir the trouble for the man later.

While on the other side of the city, soon Du Fan drove Li Xue in the direction of Feng Internationals. And in no time, the car entered inside the main parking area of the company.

"Madam, we are here. Should I call Secretary Gao to receive you?" Pulling up the car just next to where Shufen's car was parked, Du Fan asked. And in reply to his suggestion, Li Xue shook her head.

"It's okay, Mr. Driver. That would be trouble for him. He must be busy with his work and your Young Master might not like his people slacking off in their work."? She said before pulling out a mask to cover her face. She couldn't dare to walk straight like that and scare the employees. "Furthermore, this is not my first time visiting the company. Though I am not too familiar with the infrastructure, I would still be able to find the way to reach the top floor of the building where the President of the company resides."

Li Xue said, giving a smile. But given her masked face, the smile wasn't visible for the driver to look on. He could only guess her smiling, hearing her easy, gentle tone and eyes that have grown small while saying the last part of her sentence.

Nodding, he agreed, "Okay, Madam! Then I will wait for you here." Then smiling in reciprocation, politely helped the lady with the door of the car.

"Thank you, Mr. Driver", Li Xue thanked gratefully, before getting ready to walk ahead.

Du Fan deepened his smile before he closed the door to reply as well. "That was my pleasure, Madam."

Li Xue walked ahead and soon headed, straight to the reception desk of the company. Though there was an attending receptionist at the desk, there seemed something different about the company's environment. Unlike every day, the reception floor looked really empty.

Was it a holiday today? Or has everyone from the company left for the lunch break?

Li Xue thought internally as her eyes wandered around to look, but except for the guest on the reception desk, there seemed no one else.

"Ma'am, how may I help you? Are you looking for someone?" Seeing Li Xue arrive with a mask on her face, the receptionist asked. Her eyes suspiciously looked at her, trying her best to see the face of Li Xue that was hidden behind the mask.

On her voice, Li Xue was snapped out of her trance. Turning to look at the receptionist, she asked in a bit of a puzzled tone. "Umm … today seems a little different here. No one looks around. Is there a holiday?" novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

The receptionist shook her head. "Nope, Ma'am, the employees have all gathered upstairs to attend a meeting. That's why it's a bit empty here. Otherwise, there is no holiday today"

And that explained the thing. Li Xue nodded giving an 'oh' to the receptionist before getting her bag up to fidget something into. Seeing her like that, the receptionist asked again. Her tone was all polite and respectful.

"Ma'am, are you looking for someone? May I help you call him or her out". Understanding with her words that this wasn't the first time of her visit, the receptionist asked accordingly. Still looking at her with curious eyes.

But Li Xue shook her head. "Nope, it's okay. Just give me a moment to show you something." She said before finally bringing up a metal card to show. "Here it is. Just help me lead the way to the President's personal elevator. The rest I would manage myself".

The eyes of the receptionist became wide with dumbfoundedness. Getting her eyes struck at the card first, she looked back at the woman.

Who was this lady? The question popped up in the receptionist's thoughts first. But no answer came, given that even till the faraway land, she couldn't think to guess it so straightforwardly. Having access to the President's elevator pass was not easy for everyone, after all.

But whoever she was, still the receptionist was wise enough to know her position. She didn't delay and quickly bowed her head to say, "Ma'am, we are sorry. But the President's personal elevator is under servicing and it would take some time. You can either wait or take the general lift to the secretariat floor and stairs to the President's office floor."

Li Xue's eyes for a moment showed some confusion but then nodding, she understood. "It's fine, then I would take the general elevator itself and then the stairs to President's office. Could you guide me which way I should go?"

The receptionist nodded and quickly replied, "Yes, Ma'am. From here straight and then the elevator towards your left."
