Chapter 249: Ringless Shot
Yera was very impressed that nothing got leaked into the media after her announcement in the meeting about her and Xander’s relationship which further proved that everyone present inside the meeting room for discussing the said merger were trusted personnels by each group. Dr. Yao would not definitely spread any rumors since it would cause a backlash to her name given that she was in scandal with her and Xander.
She already set out a schedule for the board meeting in three days time, having that fifty fifty votes in their favor. Somehow, she was hopeful that Lyndon would cast his vote in the favour of the intended merger and they would definitely win. Lyndon would be the final key for it...
The verdict in the case of her family’s murder would be announced by next week. Yera was somehow at ease that she could finally go out in the open with Xander but then her face soured when she recalled that scene of Dr. Yao who sat comfortably on her husband’s lap. If no one else was present, she might as well have pulled the hair of that woman.
She was in deep thoughts when her mobile phone rang and it was Rui who invited her to have lunch out together with the rest of the group. Yera accepted the invitation. Dion and Rizie were already there and of course her husband who was with Rui in the hospital.
After lunch, they started chatting and suddenly Rui apologized to her. "Why?" she asked. "About Dr. Yao. I heard Xander was being punished because of her." Rui explained.
Yera’s eyebrows lifted up while she looked at her husband with squinted eyes. Her husband even had a comrade. ’Did you think I will still not kick you out of bed even though you have asked Rui to convince me?’ Yera silently delivered her message with her gaze to her husband.
"To be honest it was me who wanted Dr. Yao to stay at Yang Globals group. Xander wanted to kick her out in the very beginning, but I am investigating something about her so I convinced Xander to keep her around. Keeping your enemy closer is better..." Rui explained.
"Enemy? Enemy of bro Xander?" Rizie could not help but interrupt.
"No! No!" Xander quickly defended and elbowed Rui. "Complete your explanation will you or they will misinterpret!" Xander exclaimed.
Rui twisted his mouth as he looked at Xander then quickly smiled as he turned his gaze back at Yera. "I’m investigating her..." Rui started then he elaborated everything to Yera regarding the cases he encountered with Dr. Yao.
"Why does it sound off to me... I mean... It’s more like you’re stalking her and doesn’t it sound like you’re enjoying it?" Dion commented with collided eyebrows, directly looking at Rui.
