Because I simply love you

Chapter 29: An earnest apology

"Thank you, Mrs. Liu."

Huian's impression of her changed a little bit. Last time she felt something threatening about her. The kind of girl whom wives wouldn't want their husbands to be with even for a minute.

But not only today, yesterday too, when they met for the first time, she only talked professionally. About her job. There was no unnecessary eye contact, no useless questions and no dragging of conversation.

That showed how serious she was about this event. She really doesn't have any other thoughts for Liu Jinhai. After all, he is impeccable in every aspect. She doesn't want any kind of problem. Not like he will ever get seduced, but women can do anything to clutch a big thigh.

She eased up a little realizing this fact.

They discussed a little more about the menu and then Nana asked, "Alright Mrs. Liu. The menu is fixed. Now, can I see the location where the food setup will be done? I will also check how tables will be placed."

"Sure. We will come with you."

They all got up to go to the dining area.

Huian said, "This is the place. You can check whatever you want."

"Mam.", the venue manager called.

"Yes?"

"The flower and lighting decorations are here. Will you please come to check?"

"Oh yes! They were going to bring the decorations today. I will come with you", she turned towards Jinhai and said, "Hubby, I will check and come in five minutes. Will you please wait?"

Nana was scared. No please don't go, Mrs. Liu! I don't want to be alone with him.

"Yeah. You go."

Oh No!

"I will be right back."

She left and the two of them were alone now.

Nana didn't want any other misunderstanding to happen, so she went ahead to check the dining area.

"Miss Nana", Liu Jinhai called.

She froze. She tightly clutched her dress.

What? What now? Did he still misunderstand something?

But I cannot ignore him. Technically he is my boss till the event is over.

She turned and said, "Yes Mr. Liu?" She tried to sound as much professional as possible.

Without wasting any time he bowed and said, "I'm truly sorry Miss Nana. Please forgive me for being so unfair to you yesterday. I shouldn't have accused you like that."

Nana was blank. Completely blank. It's like when you truly cannot fathom what is going on in someone's mind. She had expected him to reprimand her again, or point fingers at her. But this. This was something she never imagined.

Liu Jinhai, the CEO of Liu Corps, a billionaire, and who belongs to the most prestigious family, bowed down. He apologized. Sincerely. Not thinking of how shameful it may look. Or not thinking of his status.

Nana just kept looking at him. This was the first time someone accused her but who actually regretted his actions. She was used to the insults, never an apology. Sometimes she had wondered how it would be if she had an ordinary looking face. Life would have been much simpler.

"Miss Nana. It was unforgivable to demean a woman's dignity like that. I realized you didn't have any clue what you had done to warrant my hurtful words. I misunderstood you. Please forgive me."

That really touched her heart. Even a normal person thinks so much before saying a simple sorry. Their egos become more important than relationships. A person like him who has everything at his fingertips doesn't possibly need to bow down to an ordinary girl.

She didn't expect him to say those painful words. But he did.

She didn't expect him to say sorry either. But he did.

She smiled, her eyes shining with tears.

Firstly, she was not angry. She felt disappointed, but not angry. Secondly, she could see he earnestly meant every word he said.

"Its alright Mr. Liu. Let the bygones be bygones. I forgive you."

Liu Jinhai raised his head. Her eyes...her disbelief. He was correct. His apology meant so much to her. It was like the first time she was hearing it.

"Really?", He asked.

"Yes. Really."

He smiled in relief.

"Thank you so much, Miss Nana. A huge burden is lifted off my shoulders. I was feeling guilty since yesterday. But today you dissolved all my worries and anxiety."

She smiled.

"But this doesn't mean I have forgotten about the compensation you were supposed to give me for my damaged shirt."

""

He still remembers that!? Please forget about it already. Sob.

"Dear!", Huian said from behind, "Sorry it took time. Gosh these people, can you believe them? There were so many problems with the colors and sizes. Finally, I sorted it out."

She then looked at Nana, "Nana, did you check everything?"

Nana was shocked. Oh yes. With all this talk I forgot to check the food setup area and those tables!

"She has taken a look at it. But she said she wants to double-check. There should not be any mistakes after all.", he interjected.

Nana gave him a grateful look.

"Yes Mrs. Liu, if you won't mind."

"Yeah sure. You are right. There is no room for any mistake."

Her work was done after a while. "I am all done here, Mrs. Liu. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime."

"Thank you, Nana."

They got out of the venue where the two bodyguards were still there.

Our Goddess!

"I will take my leave Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu."

She then reached Natsukashi with a huge smile on her face all along the way.
