"Send me via email, thank you again," Shi Lian says, smiling at her laptop screen that shows Ruxi's face. They are video calling since the morning because Shi Lian isn't allowed to go to the company so she thought of doing it from home. Her mother argued that it will reflect on her health but Shi Lian wasn't going to sit idle in her room when her company is falling behind.

"I'll send it in few minutes," Ruxi says from the other line. When she knew Shi Lian got hurt- her face is clear that she got hurt- she asked her hundred of questions. SSHi Lian rolled her eyes at her and explained in brief that she had a slight accident with her car last night. Ruxi was suspicious but she didn't ask further questions, knowing Shi Lian won't be saying anything, anyway.

"Have you told the PR team what I told you to?" Shi Lian asks, her fingers flipping through some files had in here. Her eyes glance at the screen through her glasses that sit on her nose bridge now and then. Ruxi nods, informing her that they are already in progress with the work. The launch of their collection will be held next week and if Shi Lian is not present there, it will be bad for the company. she can only give orders through the screen. "Alright, I'll call after a while" saying this, she closes her laptop and sets it down from her lap. She glances down at the half-eaten soup that Nanny Zhang brought earlier. The pain in her ankle is still there but it has been a lot better than yesterday. She couldn't get off the bed this morning because of the intense pain. The doctor asked her to take some rest and provided her with some medicines which she thanked him for.

She removes the glasses and keeps them down on top of the laptop and sets her eyes at ease. She rubs her eyes with her two fingers to relax her eyes. she sighs opening her eyes because she cannot stop thinking about last night. Now to think of it, who ordered them to capture her? she has no answer and guessing will not help her find the person. She cannot accuse someone without having any proof. The man not only wanted to kidnap her but also ordered the kidnappers to kill her. she didn't do any wrong to anyone since she been here so why will anyone try to abduct her for no reason? She groans as her head starts to swamped up with millions of thoughts.

"Nanny Zhang!" she calls, loud enough for the woman to hear from downstairs. She calls again and in the next call, Nanny Zhang appears.

"Yes, Youn Miss? Anything you need?" she asks with concern, taking in deep breaths because of the running.

"Can you make me something sweet?"

"Sure" Nanny Zhang smiles. Taking the tray in which the soup and some breadsticks were kept in her hand she exits the room and down, to the kitchen to make her something. Shi Lian kind of feel bad for making her do a lot of work but she knows how she likes to work and without any orders, she will still do anyway. Closing her eyes for a bit, she relaxes her mind and rests her head on the soft pillow.

A moment later, she goes through the documents which Ruxi has sent. She fires up her laptop and calls Ruxi again. Within seconds Ruxi's face pops up, as always she looks beautiful. Her shoulder-length hair is set free parted in the middle, the blazer jumpsuit brings out the fire element in her given the red color. "You got the emails right?" Ruxi asks, fixing the screen so her face can cover.

"I was looking through them" Shi Lian nods as she opens the emails one by one. "The materials are ready?"

"Yes"

"And the models?" Shi Lian implores, glancing at Ruxi's face. she cannot let anything ruin the day so she makes sure the arrangements are perfect.

"I asked over fifty top models of China. I told them to give their response after thinking it carefully in two days."

The thought of her uncle pops into her mind and she cannot help but ask Ruxi about it. "Well, is my uncle at the office?" she has her suspicions on him but she still doubts her uncle will go to such extents.

Taking a moment to think, Ruxi asserts, "Yes. Oh, and he came by this morning to ask about your absence."

Her uncle never cared about her presence or absence so why would he come to ask and interestingly the day after her mishap? Her suspicions of him grow more as well as the anger and resentment of him. If he somehow found to be the one who ordered to kidnap her, she will never let him off, hell her father will kill him for sure without caring they are brothers.

Ending the meeting, she gets from the bed, slowly landing her bare feet on the cold smooth floor. The pain is still there but she can walk for a while. she goes to open the windows of her room and let the wind enter inside. Being in the room all morning has her feel like a prisoner. Inhaling in the fresh smell of the cool breeze, she smiles a little but a tingling pain shoots in her lower lip. Her body is weak and taking more stress will bring her more problems.

her phone rings and she walks over to her bed, sitting comfortably, she grabs the phone which is resting inside the sheets. Zichen's name floats on the screen and she is quick to press the answer icon of her smartphone. "Hey"

"How are you feeling?" he asks with concern. Hearing his voice always gets her giddy and she cannot stop her heart from beatings fast.

"Yes, I am fine" she assures him.

"Are you in the company?" he questions and she can imagine his eyebrows knitted together as he gazes at something with his warm and piercing brown eyes. she bit the corner of her mouth from letting out a snort.

"No, at home. Happy?" she teases.

She hears him laughing under his breath, "Yes. Very." She wishes she can see him and even though she hates to admit it she misses him. "Rong told me you injured in your ankle?" he asks, changing the topic.

She sighs and falls on the bed, her head resting on the pillow and her hair is scattered by its side. "I sprained my ankle. It's not a big deal actually but the doctor told me to rest for few days. Few days! Are you kidding me?" she rolls her eyes, getting frustrated over what the doctor has said.

He laughs, "He is right, after all, baby."

The word 'baby' makes tingles in her heart and she likes it when he calls her that. A knock on her door sounds making her startle. Nanny Zhang calls and twists open the doorknob and step inside.

She quickly hangs the phone saying, "Gotta go. Bye" looking up she gives a big smile to nanny zhang and inhales in the sweet aroma of whatever she has made. "It smells delicious!"

Nanny Zhang grins and places the tray on the table, kept beside the bed. Holding the plate in her hand she moves to Shi Lian's side and places it to her side. Glancing down the plate Shi Lian grins. There are three kinds of desserts and she is more delighted by Nanny Zhang's thoughtfulness. "You know me too well, Zhang."

"Of course I do. Please eat at ease" saying this she travels to the door and out of her sight.
