At the hotel,
"So, what's your plan now?" Henry asked Natalie.
"Are going back home?"
Natalie took a deep breath before she speak, "Henry, thank you for being with me whenever I need your help. But, I...I'm not going back home."
Henry knitted his brows." Why?"
"Because I'm not yet ready Henry." Natalie replied.
"When are you going back, then?"
"I...I don't know... Maybe until Dad retracted the engagement? Or maybe not anymore. "
"But Natalie you can't be like this forever! Running away isn't the best solution." Henry said.
"I know, I know... But this is the only thing that I could do to delay the engagement. " Natalie replied.
Henry sigh.
"Alright, I won't force you anymore. But please, take sometime to think about it. What would happen to the company that your father founded if he had no heiress?"
Natalie just lowered her head.
"Anyway, I'm going back to Shanghai this morning. " Henry said.
Natalie automatically lifted her gaze. " Why so soon ?" She asked with loneliness in her eyes.
"Mom, had come back home from Europe and I will be working at Su Corporation starting next week. "
"Oh! That's a good news then!" Natalie smiled. "Good luck to you soon to be Mr. CEO." She said.
"Thanks!" Henry curved his lips.
"It's already 3 a.m, go and have some sleep."
"You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep her in the couch. " he said.
"Enn..." Natalie nodded and then she get up from her seat and headed to the bed.
--------
As soon as Jian get back home, he search for his phone first and call Natalie's phone number.
(Riinngg)
Jian felt relief to hear the other line's ring, but he froze when he heard a noise from Natalie's bedroom.
He took a steps towards to her bedroom and he opened the door.
His shoulders instantly dropped when he realized that it was Natalie's phone ringing .
Jian walked closer to the bedside table to pick up the phone but his hand stopped mid-air when he saw the piece of paper beside the phone!
It was a sketch of him!
And it was from Nana!
Jian pick up the sketch with his trembling hand and he slowly sitted on the bed while staring at the sketch.
Jian don't know whether to smile or to cry,
' Is this sketch will be the last memory of her that will be left to me?' Jian said.
He don't know where did she go.
He don't know where to find her!
He wanted to apologize to her, but how?
She didn't left any trace of her!
He didn't know much about her either!
All he know is her name, Nana a girl from Shanghai and She's here to find someone.
He doesn't even know if who's that someone that She's looking for.
What if She had gone back to Shanghai?
It would be more difficult for him to find her!
--------
10 a.m back to the hotel,
Natalie slowly opened her eyes.
She raised her body and sitted on the bed.
"Henry?" She called Henry but she was met with silence.
Natalie get down from her bed and headed to the living room.
But Henry isn't there, all she saw is an envelop and a note.
Natalie pick up the note and read it.
"I'm sorry if I left without telling you, I know that you were tired, so I don't want to disturb you.
I have left a cash inside the envelop in case you need money to find for a new apartment.
I also left a friend's calling number and address, she had a bridal gallery and she will give you a job. Take care!"
Natalie Can't help but to curved her lips. "Thank you Henry!" She mumbled.
On that same day, Natalie went to Henry's friend's bridal gallery.
She showed all her designs and the owner liked it, so she was hired on the spot!
"Thanks to Henry for giving me such a talented designer! Because, you know, my gallery isn't that big and I Can't afford to pay a professional designer."
"Thoug I also have my own designs but I still need a new and fresh ideas, thanks to you we have it all!" The owner said.
"I should be the one to thank you ma'am." Natalie said politely.
"No worries." The owner replied.
The next day, Natalie finally found an apartment, so she didn't waste time and she move to her new apartment as soon as possible.

"Hello!" Carrie excitedly greeted her brother as soon as she entered the house.
She looked around the house and felt odd. " Where's sister Nana?" She asked.
"She's gone." Jian replied without looking at his sister.
Carrie knitted her brows, " Gone? What do you mean?"
"She already left." Jian said.
"What?! She... She left?!"
"Enn..." Jian nodded.
"Why?!" Carrie asked.
Jian lowered his head,
"Wait, wait, wait, I know that look!" Carrie said while pointing to her brother.
"What did you do to her?! Why do you looked so guilty?"
"I admit! It was my fault, so shut up ,please!" Jian looked up to her sister.
Carrie become silent.
Her brother looked so stressed, there are dark circles around his eyes, and she can see the loneliness through his eyes!
"Hey, Gēgē. What happened?" She asked with sympathy.
Jian had been holding this pain inside, and all he need now is to have someone to talk to.
So, Jian told Carrie what happened. It may be sound so girly but he is just a man who can also feel pain!
Carrie didn't interrupt her brother she just let him talk and talk until he finished.
"That's why she left----" Jian stopped talking when he saw her sister smiling as if ,She's enjoying to hear his agony!
"Hey! What's with that smile?!" Jian glared to his sister.
"Hey, Jain Gēgē , do you like sister Nana?! Because you get jealous when you saw her with another guy!" Carrie teased her brother.
"No! I don't like her!" Jian denied.
"Oh! What a waste! I already have an idea of how to find her but..." Carrie paused for a moment and glance to her brother , "Since You don't like her, it would be useless to search for her!" Carrie said.
And then she pick up her belongings to leave.
"Alright! I have to go no---"
"Wait!" Jian stopped his sister from leaving.
"Why?" Carrie turned her gaze to her brother and there is a hint of smile on her face.
"Tell me what's your idea!" Jian said.
"Why would I tell you?" Carrie smirked.
"Hey! Aish!" Jian felt annoyed? His sister is obviously teasing him!
At the hotel,
