Ke Zhong's POV

I said goodbye to the family of four and walked out of the room.

Every time I saw Yang Guo, there would always be a twinge of guilt in my heart that reminded me of how I treated Yang Guo before they got married.

I had asked her to be my girlfriend so as to allow Yu Ping and Hui Fan have a chance at getting back together. But that was a big mistake and no matter how much Yang Guo told me to let bygones be bygones, I just couldn't. I broke her heart intentionally and her trust in me completely shattered.

That was also one of the reasons I could not accept Yang Duo's feelings. I could not afford to make another mistake.

As I walked out of the hospital, I saw Yang Duo giving her name card to Zhi Hao.

I recalled what Yu Ping told me earlier when he saw the both of them chatting away, " Seems like Zhi Hao still has feelings for her...If this continues, I wonder what will happen..."

I felt unconsciously unsettled upon hearing that. Yet, after seeing the mischievous grin Yu Ping gave, I changed the subject to avoid answering. She was my subordinate, a friend.... and someone who confessed her love for me 6 years ago.

When she told me that she was a person who would not mix personal feelings with work, her air of confidence showed that she meant it. Hence, I hired her on the spot and have never regretted since.

Yang Duo rushed back to her car while talking on her Blackberry phone. I had given her that phone as a gift since promoting her to Senior Interior Designer two months ago. She was going to need it with the amount of clients she had to undertake. However, knowing her thrifty personality, the idea of having a second phone for work would never occur to her. I always had the ominous feeling that she would sell the phone thus it made me relieved to see that she was using it.

Probably to meet another client I guess.

I saw Zhi Hao grinning to himself as he went to the carpark with her name card in his hand.

Could he still? But....6 years...It can't be that he still likes her?!

I shook my head. Perhaps I was thinking too much. It wasn't my business after all. I took my car key out of my denim jeans pocket and unlocked the door to my BMW.

Yang Duo's POV

The meeting with the client was supposed to be at 2p.m.. It was already 3.30p.m. But there was still no sign of him in the office.

"This is ridiculous!! We have another appointment at 5p.m. And he hasn't showed up yet?!" Amber cried out in frustration.

She was pacing up and down in my office. Since I started working with Amber, I took up courses and got the appropriate certifications to become an Interior Designer. Within 6 years, I had slowly climbed up to my current position as Senior Interior Designer like Amber.

I was looking through the information on Mr Wong on my iMac. He liked to show-off at places where he knew reporters would be, wearing branded clothes and gold accessories. But one of my sources had told me that it was all a gimmick to cover up the fact that his company was going downhill.

"Don't worry. I've already postponed the appointment at 5p.m. to tomorrow so he can be as late as he wants." I explained. I had the same type of clients before, hence fostering good rapport with clients was on my list of priority. It made my schedule more flexible and work much easier.

"Still! Time is money!" she continued. I was rather amused as every time she became frustrated, she would get all hot and puffy which reminded me of a hot air balloon.

That clock hit 3.45p.m. and like a celebrity, he strolled in head high with his trophy wife in arm. Without apology, he started, "What is with this gloomy office?! The only colors I see are black and white!"

Amber whispered soft enough so only I could hear, "That's really a limited range of colors."

I smiled politely and reached out my hand, " Good afternoon Mr Wong, I'm Yang Duo. I was the one you spoke to over the phone. Welcome to Lawrence Interior Design!"

He pretended not to see my hand and looked away. I withdrew my hand awkwardly.

He spoke to his wife who looked at least 15 years younger, " Honey, tell her whatever you want done to our room. It's my birthday present for you!"

Of course you would give her such an expensive present. If not, I'd seriously doubt her desire to be with you.

I turned to Mrs Wong, "Here, I'll show you to the meeting room and we can discuss the rest inside."

She nodded and followed my lead. I opened the door and let them in.

"Have a seat please. Do you have any picture or specific ideas in mind?" I inquired. Mrs Wong quietly sat down with grace. She had a baby-doll face yet had the body of a model.

No wonder he treats her like a queen.

She squirmed in her seat and said, "I want the room to have a romantic feeling to it. Like the kind of bedrooms I see in the movies – with drapes from the middle of the ceiling to the corners of the bed. I love dim lights as well so it would be wonderful if you could combine these two together!"

I assured her, "I will definitely try my best to give this room the romantic style you have described. However, I need to visit the room to get a few shots of how I can make this work. When will it be alright for me to visit?"

She replied, " Perhaps this Sunday? My husband would be away on a business trip and I would be at home the whole day."

"That's great! I'll be there at 2p.m. On Sunday then! Thank you for coming all the way here today!" I thanked.

The couple left the room soon after and I immediately went back to my desk to find information on the kind of furniture I had in mind.

Hello again! I tried using bold to highlight whose POV I'm using...I hope you all will enjoy it and review!! =) By the way, I have no idea at all on what Interior Designers do so I'm guessing their process and reading books on Interior Designing to help improve. If you are a Interior Designer, hope you don't mind my little mistakes! Any tips would be really helpful! Thanks for reading all of you~~ ^^v
