Because I simply love you

Chapter 49: Liu Corps with Natsukashi

"What are you trying to say?", Father Liu glared.

"You just want to eat Nana's food anyhow. Because you know you cannot ditch work and visit Natsukashi frequently. So you are bringing Natsukashi with you. Isn't it?"

He feigned innocence.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I just had the pure thought of recognizing her talent for the benefit of our company. I'm not the only one who will get to eat her food, right?"

"That does not matter to you. Whether you eat her food all alone or the whole company gets to enjoy it, as long as you yourself are included, you don't care about the rest of the people.", Liu Jinhai thoroughly exposed him.

His eyes twitched.

He said. "And besides, Nana has Natsukashi to run. How can she have the spare time to come here?"

Liu Hai said, "But I heard from Jianyu that Nana has brought lunch boxes for them many times. I'm just changing the method a little. I want a part of her Natsukashi to be incorporated with us, the Liu Corps."

He raised his eyebrow. It wasnot a bad suggestion.

"Obviously there will be a full-fledged contract on the patent issues to protect her recipes." He turned to look at Nana.

"Nana, what do you think?", he asked excitedly.

Nana was in a dilemma. From a work perspective, this offer was really good. But she was scared of her feelings. The emotions that were beginning to grow on her. For Liu Jinhai. She didn't want to complicate relationships because of what she felt.

This job would require her to come to Liu Corps frequently and perhaps have interactions with Jinhai. She had no idea how she would handle that while fighting with her feelings.

But Father Liu was very excited about this whole idea. And even if just a little bit, he treated her as his daughter. He called herself as his daughter. For her, this was way much more important than her own struggle.

She nodded. "Okay."

His eyes brightened. He smirked at Jinhai.

Jinhai shook his head.

"Alright. If that's what you have decided. Miss Nana, we will draft a contract for this job and you can start if you don't find any problems with it."

"Yes, Mr. Liu."

Jinhai stood up from his chair and came in front of her.

He smiled and held out his hand for a handshake.

"It's a pleasure working with you again Miss Nana. I hope this will be just as successful as the anniversary celebration."

She smiled. "I hope so too Mr. Liu."

She jolted just a tiny little bit with the contact. His hand firmly held hers.

Father Liu gave a sly smile.

"That's great! I will immediately let my assistant draft a contract for you." And he dashed out to talk.

"Miss Nana. I'm sorry for how my dad dragged you here. He becomes too excited once he is struck with an idea."

"Its no big deal. I didn't mind. And he is such a cheerful person. I cannot possibly be mad at him."

He nodded. Well, that was true too.

"So, how are things with Jianyu?"

"Huh?", then it struck her. "Yeah, it's going well. We have become quite good friends now."

"So he still hasn't asked you out?", he furrowed his brows.

"No no! Nothing like that. For now, we are both comfortable in this space. And we haven't quite met for a while."

"I see. Well if he troubles you then you can go to Aunt anytime. Just be sure you don't go to dad. Believe me, he will not leave that chance to pair you up with my little brother."

She laughed softly.

"Hey. What was that about Nana not coming to me? For what?", he eyed them suspiciously.

"Nothing. I just advised her not to be too much in your company.", he said plainly.

He was horrified. "Child, don't listen to him! I'm the best company you can have."

He glared at him and they bickered.

Nana, for a moment, envied them. Really he is so blessed to have such a nice family.

After her shopping with Mother Liu, Huian ran straightaway to Grandma Liu's place.

"Huian! What happened? You called and said you had to talk something urgently. You sounded so panicked. Is everything alright?"

Huian was as pale as a ghost. She was breathing heavily like she has run a marathon, but that everything had to do with fear.

"Grandma. We are in big trouble!"

"What trouble? You are scaring me now."

She took out the letter she got at the mall and gave it to her.

"What is this letter?", She frowned in confusion.

"You will know once you read it."

She opened it.

And she got the biggest shock of her life. Her hands trembled the same way Huian's had.

She looked at her. "Is this true? Does somebody else knows too?"

"Yes! And this is the second letter. I got the first one the morning after my anniversary celebration. But nothing happened after that. So I thought it was a prank by somebody. But thisthis is a reminder. Somebody really knows!", Huian cried.

Grandma Liu felt like she needed someone to support her even though she was sitting.

"But it's not possible. Only we know the secret. There is no chance of a third person knowing at all."
