You Are My Colour Palette

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.

Zhou Qin Yang blinked as the man held her hand " It's you ! Do you remember me ? " Lee Jun Ting raise his eyebrow at the man's touch on his woman, he was not having it. Meanwhile Zhou Qin Yang was to confused to identify the man " Erm... maybe ? I'm not sure. "

Immediately Jun Ting cuts in and slaps the man's hand away " Mr Hammington , I would prefer you keep your hands to yourself from my employee. "

Samuel removes his sunglasses and laugh " I'm sorry if I offended you, I was excited to see an old friend. " After he remove his sunglasses then Qin Yang recognise the man " Ah ! Samuel, it's you !"

" My friend, you finally recognise me. " he smiled. Gabriel heave a sigh of relief as he thought Samuel angered Lee Jun Ting " Miss Zhou, you know my designer ? "

"We don't know each other long. We met at an art exhibition in Paris. One of my works were displayed there." Qin Yang shyly brush her hair behind her ears. Jun Ting was still not satisfied with Samuel's gesture " Mr Page, my time is precious "

" Yes. Yes. Let's get inside and have lunch. " Gabriel quickly lead them in the restaurant. No one noticed when they walk in, Samuel was mesmerise by a beauty and kept staring at Zhou Qin Yang as they enter the VIP room.

Chaerin lie down on her soft leather sofa as her maids wash her leg and massage her.

A maid walks in and held Chaerin's phone in her hand " Miss Song, there is a call for you "

Showing an annoyed expression because she disturb her relaxing time, she snatched her phone from the maid's hand " How dare you disturb me? "

" You dare to talk to me like this after I helped you" Mina scolds her. Chaerin immediately change her tone " I'm sorry, Mina jie. I didn't know it was you"

"You better fix that attitude of yours if you want work here. You better not misbehave, the Director of Designs know about me helping you. "

Chaerin rolls her eyes " So what? I have the Song family blood in me, I'm not afraid"

Song Mina cannot stand her attitude but she has to put up with it even though she is older than Chaerin, her mother is the youngest in the family and Chaerin's father is the oldest. She had to treat her better . " Chaerin, you don't want to get fired do you? If you work hard, then maybe they would even switch the director position to you " Mina coax her.

The naive Chaerin then smile " Of course! When it comes to art, it's the Song family first! They will definitely see how valueble I am! "

Mina smirks how stupid her cousin is, always think she is the best because she is the daughter of the first family. For now, Song Mina needs to use her cousin status for a moment, she need to prove to Lee Jun Ting she can bring value to the company so Song Chaerin cannot mess up!

Mina play with her pen in her hands " Cousin, in order for you to do that. You need to get rid of the director first."

Chaerin had million 'evil' plans in her head already " Of course, leave it to me ! I will make sure President Lee will look at me "

Qin Yang suddenly sneeze. Jun Ting look at her worryingly " Are you cold ? "

Even Samuel was worried, he was about to remove his suit jacket for her but he stop as he watch Jun Ting put his on her already. Qin Yang shake her head " I'm not cold. Maybe someone is talking about me. "

Gabriel chuckles " Miss Zhou, you believe in this kind of things. You are really interesting. " Qin Yang didn't reply and just smile. Samuel looks at Lee Jun Ting then back at Zhou Qin Yang, he wondered what is their relationship. It couldn't be mere boss and employee right ? He looks so attentive to her.

" Qin Yang, I never expect you work for Mr Lee here. I always thought you are like bird who likes to fly free. " he lean his chin on his hand as he stares at her. Qin Yang thought so too but she need to experience the world if she wants to be free " Thank you for thinking that, Sam. I also never thought I would work for Mr Lee. I wanted to experience working in an office, it's a once in a lifetime thing."

Jun Ting furrow his eyebrows, she calls Samuel by his nickname. Jun Ting's inside was bubbling with jealousy. She never calls him nickname after being friends for so long but here she met a stranger just a moment few years ago, she has a nickname for him.

Qin Yang sense the atmosphere turn cold, she knows this because she has feel it before few years ago. She look at Lee Jun Ting ' What is he angry for ? His mood change so suddenly. Did I do something wrong ? '

Jun Ting pick up his cup of tea and sips it, he glares at her when he place the cup down. Zhou Qin Yang experience his mood wave so many times already back in high school so she is used to it, not even Wu Feng Yuan who has been friends with him for so long can take it either. Qin Yang didn't know what she did wrong but she look away and clears her throat " Mr Page, about the project. My team has already come up with drafts, the only thing missing is the elements from your side. We need to put in something that resembles your side for the design "

Gabriel smile at her professional side " Indeed Miss Zhou. You are definitely right, that is why I brought Samuel today. You can discuss with him about it, you can come by my office branch in G City to look for him if you want to discuss further or drop an email to Samuel. He can handle it. "

Qin Yang nods and let Samuel write his email down on her notebook. " Is there anything you wanna add before we start the process tomorrow , Mr Page ? "

Gabriel Page looks at Zhou Qin Yang with a sentimental gaze " The theme is youth as you know it but what I want is the youth from the 60s. I want to bring back that era and show how peaceful it was back then. Let me tell you a story. "

The Page family's history is actually consider very long, all of the past ancestors had good health and pass away with natural death, not one member had a disease at all. Gabriel Page who turn 70 this year, still look energetic like any other young a.d.u.l.t.

" When I was in my early years, I was like any other teenager. I was stubborn and rebellious, felt like my parents are annoying when they nag or scold me over little things. Parents always think what is best for us but sometimes they forget the feeling they went through when they were young. Around my time if you had a push button Trimphone, you are consider rich already. My family was poor that time, the watch business was only small "

" My friends would tease me and mock me for being poor and think watches are for nerds only. I never like watches or even clock because of it , my house fill with only sounds of ticking time. As time passes by, I begin to understand no matter how rich you are or how many Trimphones you have, you can never beat the value of time."

" When my father gave me my first watch, for the first time I never hated like I thought I would. All my peers around me would waste their money to buy the gadgets end up gaining nothing when they waste their time on it. My father used to say Time is gold. I hope the youth today that purchase this watch will feel the same. That overwhelming feeling. "

Zhou Qin Yang and Lee Jun Ting who was listening to the story from start to end nod their heads. When it comes to time, both of them knows best. After all 7 years isn't a short time. Qin Yang smile " I will make a design that has that feeling, Mr Page ! "

After the lunch, Gabriel and Samuel send them off at the entrance. Samuel winks at Qin Yang " Remember to contact me if you need anything beautiful "

Jun Ting was still in a bad mood so he went in the car first, Qin Yang laugh " Yes, of course I will. Only for work purposes. "

When she close the door, she look at Jun Ting with a questionably look " What are mad about ? "

" No I am not. I'm fine "

" Don't think I don't know you, I have seen you like that before. So tell me what's the problem ? " she folds her arms on her c.h.e.s.t. Jun Ting turn around and look at her, he moves in closer to her face. Qin Yang back off as he got closer " Lee Jun Ting. What are you doing ? Don't try to avoid my question by doing this. "

Jun Ting gave a neutral smile " I don't know, why don't you ask Sam about it ? " He highlighted the word 'Sam' in a louder tone. Zhou Qin Yang stun for second and laugh " Are you jealous that I called him that ? Why would you ? He is a friend."

" I am also your friend. You never gave me a nickname. " he pouts. Driver Chen who was driving in front wanted to puke when he heard this, his president actually acts like kid ! He couldn't believe in his own eyes, who is this man he just saw? More importantly, who is this woman that is able to make his cold and distant president like this ?

" Jeez, stop acting like a kid. Is this what is all about ? " she was taken aback by his attitude all of the sudden. She sighs and pats his head." Fine. Don't be angry anymore, Ah Ting. "

At that moment, he felt like he won a lottery. Jun Ting pretends to be cold and remove her hand from his head " We will see. "

Zhou Qin Yang smile, she knows he is not angry anymore. After all, the temperature in the car turn warmer already.
