He was jealous because she never talks to him this cordially.

Before they could talk anything Butler Tom brought their lunch inside the patio.

"Thank you, Uncle… I'll serve myself… you can also have your lunch with Aunt Mary", Xiu Mei knew they both like to eat their meals together, so she asked him to leave.

Lifting the lids she saw two fruit bowls with honey and nuts. Astonished at this, she looked at Feng Jianyu, "CEO Feng you also asked for fruit bowl?"

He nodded his head, "Want to eat something light, and eating fruits was the best option".

She smiled and pa.s.sed a bowl to him.

Both were eating their lunch quietly, but Xiu Mei was feeling restless. She thanked him twice but he is not responding at all. Desperate for a response she finally asked him, "Ummm… CEO Feng… don't you want to say something?"

He asked innocently, "Say something? About what?"

Hearing this, her temper came back and she voiced out her thoughts, "In the morning you were fighting with me that I'm a thankless person… and now I thanked you twice but you are so stingy to give me any response…. Can't you say some words?" She put so much effort to say thank you but he is behaving as if it doesn't matter to him.

He doesn't know whether to laugh or cry over this, she was herself helping him to set up a trap for her. Acting insouciant he replied, "What can I say? Your thank you was so dry, that it was unable to catch my attention". Shrugging his shoulder he said, "Is this how you say thank you to someone?"

Xiu Mei "….."

'I knew it… I knew it this will happen… This man is so despicable that he won't leave any chance to take advantage of me. You are stupid Xiu Mei that you thanked this ungrateful man, now see how he is trying to suck your blood.'

'd.a.m.ned you monster headache, I was insane to make such an imprudent decision to let you enter my house. If I was aware that you would be such a pain in my a.s.s, I would have rejected Mr. Feng. I think I should start working on a machine to predict the future so that this world could be saved by a devil monster like you. '

'No, this time I won't give in to your unreasonable demands…'

She harrumphed, "Fine! As a thank you gesture, I'll develop two software for your company free of cost. Phoenix enterprises will have no right over them and you can use them at your own will".

Feng Jianyu frowned at her offer, 'How can she develop software for the rival company? Isn't she aware that it will be considered as a breach of contract, and she can be imprisoned for it? Won't Mr. X oppose her for developing software for my company? But looking at her confidence it seems that Phoenix Enterprises will definitely support her in this decision. But why?'

Although her offer was enticing, it can generate billions of revenue for his company, but Feng Jianyu was never interested in her software. Without blinking an eye he rejected her offer effortlessly.

"No… I don't want it…."

"Why?"

"I don't work unethically in business… you are under contract with Phoenix Enterprises, if you really want to develop software for my company then resign with them and join my company". He knew it because of her hatred towards him, she would never join his company. To trap her in her own proposal he asked her to resign.

As expected, gritting her teeth she replied furiously, "NO…Never…. I would never join your company…"

"Hahaha... And for your kind information, I'm joining my company from tomorrow…", waving her thumb at him she teased.

"Really? What a coincidence! I'm also joining my company from tomorrow, how about you give me a ride?

"What? No! ", fl.u.s.tered by his offer, she glared at him.

Putting down his fruit bowl he explained, "Look! Feng Corporation headquarters is on the way to your company… You just have to drop and pick me, that's it."

"NO… Hire a chauffeur, I'm sure you can easily afford one"

"Fine, then join my company to develop software for me"

"NOOO"

"I knew it, you had no intention to say thank you… you feigned grat.i.tude towards me", he mocked her.

She groaned holding her head, "You just want a ride, Right? Fine… Be my guest, but don't expect anything else…"

"Good… as of now, this is fine…" He got up to leave for his room, "We will talk later about your second thank you" his voice trailed behind him.

Xiu Mei "….."

"CEO Feng…no… wait… this is not....." she whined from behind, but he left without paying heed to her.

Feng Jianyu smirked thinking about her possible reaction at this.
