Breakfast, the next morning was rather quiet. Except Joreen who kept reminding them over again about her encounter with different stars when she went to the location site with Muchen. They were already tired of listening but had had to act like they were paying attention when they weren't actually doing so.

Jianjun kept thinking about his encounter with Mr Park. Mr park had claimed that Jianjun's Father had given him one of his recipe book shortly before his death. He sighed deeply as he picked on his breakfast.

"A news was going round yesterday about Weiyoung and Jinyong. Did you see it?" Joreen asked them. She had not been able to tell them about it yesterday because she had gone to bed early. Her body still ached from the strenuous activity she did in school.

Bilike had no idea who or what they were talking about so he just kept eating.

"What news?" Sara was the only one who showed a little interest in the topic. Since it involved the two people she hated.

"It was about her being pregnant for Jinyong. That's gross" She shook her tiny body to show her irritation. She wasn't getting the required reaction from any of them. Jianjun didn't seem interested in the topic while Sara didn't look bothered.

"You knew?" Joreen asked Sara.

This time, Jianjun looked at Sara, who was busy with her food. "Is that true?"

She raised her head and looked at him. "Yes. She made mention about them getting married. She and had deliberately made it known to the public that she is pregnant."

"What? Where did that happen?" Joreen asked inquisitively.

"The party yesterday." She had intended to keep it a secret about whose party it was and why she went there. She didn't want anyone to know she was digging into her Father's past. "She also attended the party. I have to leave now" She stood up and hurriedly took her plates to the kitchen.

"Say me well to Mr Chu. Tell him I'll pay him a visit soon" She said to Bilike when she came out from the kitchen.

"I will. He keeps saying he wants to come back home else he feared he might get used to the comfortable bed there"

Sara was glad that Heya was improving and her weight loss dream was coming to reality. She tried to put in all her attention while working out with her.. 'You were employed to help Heya' She reminded herself the whole time.

"You look pale. Are you sure you're not sick?" Heya asked in worry.

"I am fine. Just a little bit stressed out" She knee what was wrong with her. But she just couldn't admit it.

"You should rest then. Bro might kill you if he finds out that I'm stressing you" Heya looked at Sara to see she was looking at her with an unreadable expression. "Just take care of your health Sara. I don't know what's been up with you lately but I believe you can sort things out." Heya encouraged. "You're a big girl" She grinned.

Sara gave her a smile in return. It was nice to see that someone, aside from her family, cared about her. "Thank you Heya" She said softly.

She was already tired. But had promised to meet with Li Hoy today. So that was it. She noticed his office was in the G-Global building. 'I wish Joreen was here' was her first thought when she entered. The place was simply magnificent. Everyone was busy with something. No one was dillydallying.

She carefully followed one of Hoy's secretary that she had met that day to his office.

Once she entered, she didn't bother to sit and took out a nylon bag from her bag pack— Which contained everything she was supposed to return. She was glad her bag was able to contain them.

Hoy eyed the nylon bag she placed on his desk.

"What's that?" He asked aloofly

Sara gave him a smile as she answered. "It contains the gown, jewelries and the shoe you gave to me. Thank you. You said I could pay 200 dollars for them right?"

He stood up and took out the gown from the bag. He observed it closely "You stained it." He noted.

"I actually wanted to wash it. But I didn't know whether I would damage it in the process. I also remembered you told me the dry cleaning process would be handled by your people" Her smile broadened. She didn't want her anxiety to be known.

Hoy still didn't say anything and just watched her ramble on.

She wondered why he wasn't saying anything and looked at him closely. She noted that he was taller than her. And was good looking. But his looks could still not be compared to Mr Li. His appearance looked cold. As if he had never smiled before in his entire life. He was the opposite of Minde but somehow synonymous with Muchen. As usual, he was formally dressed just like the first time she had met him.

"The gown is ruined" He said.

"What? Really?" She asked sadly.

"If you had washed it the moment the wine spilled on it then maybe, we would have been able to save her"

Was he trying to blame her right now? He told her not to wash it! And how was she supposed to know that just that little wine would ruin it?

But then, it was still her fault so she only had to apologise. Even the manager had told her countlessly to make sure the gown doesn't get ruined.

"I'm really sorry. I'll pay for the gown. The jewelries are still okay and I didn't wear the shoe at all"

Hoy smirked. "Do you know how much this gown costs?" He raised the gown higher as if she could be able to tell the price now.

"How... how much?" She asked in a very low voice.

"Two hundred thousand dollars"

Sara gasped and used both hands to cover her mouth. "Two...two..hundred thousand?" She asked in bewilderment as she looked at the gown in his hands. "How... how..could you make me borrow.. such a gown?"

She remembered how people had looked at her that night. Most of them might have known the worth of that gown. While she had been totally ignorant about it.

"I don't... I don't have that money" She muttered.

"There is always a way to pay" He folded his arms and sat on his desk.
