"I should go. I won't take any more time yours" Mo Sha Sha gets up from the bed, "Good night, Shi."

"Good Night mother. Sweet dreams" she hugs her mother.

After her mother leaves, she closes the door and sits lie down on her bed. She puts one hand above her eyes and sighs, "I am still a mess." At that moment her phone rings.

It is Evelyn, she presses the green icon and Evelyn's voice comes through the other line.

"Shi! How are you?"

"You do know about the time zones right?"

"Yes, yes. You are 8 hours ahead and it's probably your sleep time but I miss you so much!" Evelyn pouts cutely from the other line.

"It's night here and yes it's my sleep time. Did you went to classes today?"

"Would you stop with your nagging and all?"

"Fine" Shi Lian rolls her eyes.

"We barely get to talk to each other and all you do is scold me! That's not fair Shi!" Evelyn fusses over.

"My fault. I miss you too. I am in a tight position now and maybe busy for the next few months-"

"Months? Are you planning to stay there?" Evelyn exclaims.

"I can't say anything about that. The possibility of me going back there is low. Today my father announced that I will be the future Chairman…"

"Oh my god! That's insane. You gonna run your family business now?"

"I might. I can't say anything related to this. it will depend on my performance after three months. I have three months to get trained and show my true potentials. " There's no sound from the other line.

"Eve? Evelyn?" Shi Lian asks. "Eve you there?" she asks again.

"Oh, yea…I am" Evelyn answers after a long pause.

"What's the matter?"

"It's just that the thought…..of *weep* of you not coming here….*weep*…ever again….."

"Hey Eve, are you crying?"

"I…am not….am not"

"Eve….I never said that I won't come to meet you there. After I handle the situation here I will surely come to meet you or maybe you can come here…" Shi Lian calms her.

"I know it may sound cheesy but I miss you a lot. We were like best of friends and I don't want us to lose contact with each other."

"It does sound cheesy but yes we are best friends and losing contact with you will be the last thing I want. You have been there for me when nobody was, you were like my protector when I was helpless and I owe you big…." Shi Lian is feeling emotional right now.

She remembers those days when she was feeling so helpless in a foreign country, she couldn't forget Atian and all that happened to her but Evelyn was there. She is the best friend she could ever ask for. Evelyn helped her get through the disaster and be more strong and braver in the future.

"Well, well, look how sentimental we got!" Evelyn laughs.

"Yeah….I miss you" Shi Lian whispers, wiping her tears.

"Me too. It's your sleep time right? Let's hang up now...I'll call you later" Evelyn's voice is more stable than before,

"Good night."

"Yeah, you are right. Good afternoon to you" Shi Lian says humorously.

They both hang up and Shi Lian studies the documents for a while. Some moments later, she got up after articulating everything and goes to sleep setting her alarm for tomorrow.

A new morning, a new start for Shi Lian. She got up according to her alarm and did her routine. After she and Mo Zheng Yuan had their breakfast, they set off for the company.

They reach the company according to the time or before it. Mo Zheng Yuan and Zhang Hao went to their work and Shi Lian went to find Ruxi in her cabin. Shi Lian sees Ruxi standing near the coffee machine waiting for her coffee.

"Good Morning Miss Vice President!" Shi Lian greets her politely.

"Good Morning," Ruxi says firmly.

"Have you looked at yesterday's data chart?" Ruxi asks.

"Yes I did and I took notes regarding that of what I think are maybe the reasons for the loss," Shi Lian tells her. Ruxi nods and taking the cup of coffee in her hand she walks to her cabin, Shi Lian behind her.

On their way, Shi Lian sees a familiar figure approaching her direction from afar. As the person walks closer the figure becomes more distinct. She Lian recognizes that person in an instant but she wished she never would. It was a man, around her father's age with the same poised face as her father, with an average height and an intimidating face, the man looks at one of her relatives; it is her second Uncle, Mo Zheng Yi.

Shi Lian knows about her uncle's greedy personality and she figured that he just came here to meet her father about the company. Her uncle takes a glance at her but he is not able to recognize her as walks past her. Shi Lian didn't say anything either and walk past him with a grimace in her eyes for him.

"Shi Lian, show me the documents I gave you yesterday," Ruxi asks like a mentor to her, strict and poised. Shi Lian is zoning out, she is still thinking about what her uncle and her father would be talking about. It's already been 10 minutes and she is anxious about what is happening there.

Ruxi calls her name again but Shi Lian can't seem to listen to her. "Shi Lian!" Ruxi yells her name loudly, loud enough to be heard outside by the staff.

"Yes, yes! Apologies!" Shi Lian instantly apologizes for her rude behavior.

"What are you dreaming about? It's work time now, you can't be zoning out like this!" Ruxi scolds her,

"You are going to be the Chairman so be serious!"

"Yes, I know. Apologies for my rude behavior" Shi Lian apologizes again.

"You can't mistakes like this. Stay alert" Ruxi explains it to her, now in a more mild tone. "Show the documents I gave you yesterday," she asks, sipping her black coffee.

Shi Lian hands the documents to Ruxi; she tries her best not to think about there but she can't control herself not to think about it.

Without any thinking, Shi Lian got up from her seat, "Miss Vice President, I'll be back shortly" she says and run to her father's cabin.

"Wait! Where are you-"

The door bangs louder with Shi Lian's exit and Ruxi is left all by herself in a confusing state.
