A Billion Dollar Exchange Chapter 62 I’ll give something else

Finally, the long awaited knock came. Liu Wei’s body stiffened a little. He acknowledged the person on the other side, and after sometime the door finally pulled open.

Liu Wei lifted his eyes to look at the figure by the door.

Liling didn’t come in, she just stood there staring at him. When he realized that she was not going to move, he signaled her to come in.

Liling recovered from her trance; when the security guard told her to follow him, she was incredibly surprised.

She couldn’t believe that Liu Wei had really agreed to see her until when he really told her to come in.

She took a step forward paused for a while and then continued walking till she arrived in front of his office table.

Liu Wei pointed to a seat in front of him, signaling her to seat. She nodded and sat down quietly.

That was when he got a clearer view of her.

She looked leaner than the last time he saw her, though she was naturally slim but now she looked emaciated.

Her face seemed like she hadn’t even had a good sleep for days and her lips, white like paper.

Those beautiful eyes he knew had lost its sparkle, she looked very different from the last time he saw her.

Liling noticed his stare and immediately withdrew her gaze from him.

It was obvious that he was waiting for her to speak. So she cleared her voice and spoke.

“Thank you for letting me see you… ”

Liling whispered and she bent her head low. She didn’t know how to continue and the silence that was between them wasn’t helping matters at all.

Liu Wei just sat there staring at her, obviously wondering what could make her come to see him.

She fought with herself for a while but finally decided to go on with it. The worst that could happen was that he would reject her offer.

It was better than not making any attempts at all.

“Mr Liu Wei..”

Liling paused as she took In a deep breath.

“I …need one million yuan… ”

Liu Wei creased his brows, his eyes bore a surprised expression.

‘What did she need that much money for?’

Liling who was anxious held the helm of her gown tightly. She swallowed hard and continued courageously.

“I don’t think I can pay back…, but I’ll give you something else…”

Her voice drained of all vigour. It was really hard to give herself away, so easily but she had no choice, what would she do?.

Taking in a deep breath, she lifted her eyes to face him.

“My body…”

” ”

It was as though she had mentally prepared herself before hand, as though she didn’t matter at all anymore.

It was clear that she had thought he wouldn’t help her without him asking her for something, which was obviously what anyone would ask for.

He didn’t blame her, but he was sad, sad that she didn’t even think of him as a gentleman.

He looked at her for sometime. She had not yet lifted her eyes from her dress. Obviously because she was waiting for him to speak.

“Liling…, I would give you the money you asked for, but I do not need to sleep with you to do so.

You should not think that all men need something from you before they offer help.

Though I don’t know what you need such money for, I’ll help… ”

“No.. ”

Liling cut him off before she could stop herself.

Something she knew for certain was that, for everything, there was a pay.

If she didn’t pay for it now, she was going to pay for it later. But she didn’t want to extend the time, she just wanted it done once and for all, and they’ll go there separate lives.

“No, it’s my decision, but I’m just pleading with you. I don’t want to owe you… ”

She lifted her eyes to look at him, his eyes pierced into hers, it was obvious that he was displeased by what she was saying.

“Liling, you do not owe me, I just… ”

“No, please…” She paused for a while, obviously contemplating on a decision.

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry for disturbing you, Mr Liu Wei, I’ll be leaving now, thank you”

With that she stood up from her seat with her head hung low.

She bowed a little and made to walk away.
