Hong residence
Jian is currently in the dining area when someone suddenly speak behind him.
"So how did it go?" Mrs. Hong suddenly asked Jian.
Jian automatically turn his head to his mother.
"Mom?"
"I heard that you and Nana were trapped in the elevator last night. Did you two reconciled?"
"How did you know that we were trapped?" Jian asked back to his mother.
"Your sister told me."
'Carrie?'
She knew it?
Jian has fallen into a deep thought.
She called me last night, telling me to hurry up.
The CEO's elevator has suddenly broken.
And the employee's elevator too!
Ugh!
I know right!
There is someone behind it!
-----------
It was already dark when Carrie get back home.
She opened the door and found her brother sitting in the couch in the living room.
"Good evening brother!" Carrie greeted her brother with a wide smile in her face.
"Do you want to tell me something?" Jian suddenly asked Carrie.
Carrie looked at Her brother innocently.
"What would I tell you?"
"About the elevator?" Jian replied.
"Oh!" Carrie went silent!
My God!
He already knew it!
"Come And sit! Let's talk!" Jian said without a expression in his face.
Carrie bit her lower lip as she walk to the couch and take a seat.
"Brother, please don't get angry! I was just tying to help you!"
"You're too slow when it comes to showing your true feelings to sister Nana!" Carrie added.
"What do you mean?" Jian asked.
"Hey brother! It's so obvious to you that you still love sister Nana, why won't you try to tell her before someone could snatch her away from you?!"
Jian sigh!
"It's not that easy Carrie." He said.
"Why not?" Carrie asked.
Jian went silent...
Carrie looked at her brother's face, there's a look in his eyes, and it's...
"Brother, are you afraid?" She asked.
Jian took a deep breath.
"I don't know." He said.
"There's a lot of doubt in my heart. What if we don't have the same feelings?"
"I'm afraid to be rejected Carrie."
"She still have Henry in her life."
"Brother, don't worry, sister Nana and Henry are just friends!" Carrie said.
Jian turn his head to Carrie.
"How did you know?"
Carrie went blank for a moment!
Im dead!
Brother should not know about Henry!
"Ehem!" Carrie pretended to clear her throat.
"Well... Uhm... I asked sister Nana about it!" She lied.
Jian was silent..
' If Henry amd Nana are not in a romantic relationship, that means, that I still have a chance!' Jian can't help but to hope.
-------
"Natalie!" Abby excitedly enter Nana's office!
"What?!" Nana looked up to her cousin with her startled expression!
"Do you know that, the company will be celebrating the founding anniversary?!"
"And?" Nana wondered , what is there to be excited about?
"And guess What?"
Nana rolled her eyes! Why can't she just tell me?
"What?!"
"All of the employees are going out of town!"
"Oh! That's it?"
"Hey! There's more! I heard thay we're going to a yacht chartering !"
"A What?" Nana asked again as if she didn't hear it clearly.
"We're going to a yacht chartering !" Abby repeated.
"Oh! I think I'm not going!" Nana said.
"Why not?" Abby asked with her knitted brows.
"Abby, have you forget? I have thalassophobia!" Nana reminded her cousin.
"Oh!" Abby' s excitement instantly faded.
"Yeah! I'm Sorry, I got so excited that I forgot about your phobia of traveling in The sea!" Abby apologized.
"Hey! Don't be disappointed! You can still join the other employees!" Nana said cheerfully!
"Oh! I won't surely enjoy the trip without you." Abby said.
"Why not?! It's the time for you to get along with the other employees!" Nana tried to encourage her cousin.
"Oh! Never mind! I'll just stay with you in the house!"
"But Abby you don't have to do that!"
"But I want to!" Abby insisted.
Nana did not argue with her cousin anymore.
She knew her cousin , if she decided not to go, nothing can ever change her mind!
----
During the lunch break, Nana decided to go to the production department.
She was about to enter the production area but her footsteps stopped when she heard a conversation of the three ladies in the locker.
They were the three ladies who join them during Carrie's welcome party!
"Eh! Do you know that Mr. Hong cancelled the yacht chartering?" the first lady asked.
"Really? But why it's out of a sudden?" The second lady asked back.
"Well, according to what I've heard, Mr. Hong cancelled it because there is someone here in the company who has a phobia traveling in the sea!" The first lady replied.
"Who could that be? He or she maybe important to Mr. Hong, that he even cancelled the yacht chartering for him or her!" The third lady joined the conversation.
"Well, it's either Ms. Carrie or Ms. Victoria!" The second lady said.
"I think none of the two of them!" The first lady opposed.
"Why do you say so?" The second and third lady asked in chorus.
"Come to think of it! I haven't often see Ms. Victoria this past few months! And about Ms. Carrie, well... according to what I've heard, she is a swimmer. So ... I suppose there is another person!" The first lady explained.
"Who could that be?" The third lady asked again.
"It's Ms. Zhuang!" The first lady replied.
"I often see Ms. Zhuang and Mr. Hong together for this past few weeks." The first lady paused.
"And do you girls remember during Ms. Carrie's welcome party? Mr. Hong suddenly left when we started to tease Mr. Su and Ms. Zhuang!"
"Oh really? I haven't notice it!" The third lady said.
"Yeah! It's because you're already drunk that time!" The first lady said sarcastically!
"Whoa! Ms. Zhuang is so lucky!" The second lady exclaimed..
"Yeah right!" The first lady agreed.
"But... isn't it so unfair to cancel the trip for a one person? I mean, all of the employees are waiting for that day to happen! And yet, Mr. Hong will cancel it for Ms. Zhuang?" The third lady complained.
"Hey! If I were You, I would shut my mouth so you will not lose your job!" The first lady scolded the third lady.
"Let's get back to work now!" The second lady suggested.
Nana who is secretly listening to the three ladies was left stunned!
'Is it true? Did he really cancel the yacht chartering just for me?' Nana asked her self.
-------
Jian is currently reading a files when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" He responded while his gaze never left the document that he is reading.
The door opened, Jian heard a footsteps approaching his table.
This time he looked up and found Nana!
Jian automatically smile and say, " Hey!"
"Hey!" Nana replied.
"Is there anything you need?" Jian asked.
Nana did not reply immediately, she's thinking if she did the right decision?!
"Nana?" Jian called Nana when she did not answer.
"Uh, ehem!" Nana cleared her throat before she speak.
"Actually, it... it wasn't really important." She said.
"But... I... I still want to know if..." Nana pause for a moment.
"If?" Jian waited for Nana to continue.
"If... uhm...Did you cancel the yacht chartering because of me?" Nana finally said.
"Yes!" Jian answered instantly.
"But Why?" Nana asked.
"Because you have a thalassophobia!" He replied.
Nana didn't expect that Jian would still remember that she has a fear to travel in an open water!
She didn't believe what the ladies in the production team said, so she want to confirm it by her self, and now, she got the answer!
"But ... but you don't have to do that Jian. " Nana said.
Though she was touched by his concern, she still feel like its not right to cancel the whole trip just for her!
The three ladies in the production department were right!
"But I already did!" Jian replied.
"But Jian...I... I " Nana tried to think of another way to make Jian change his mind!
"I want to go to yacht chartering!" Nana suddenly said.
Jian was surprised!
"What?!" He asked as if he didn't heard her right!
"I want to go to yacht chartering! So take back your decision and don't cancel it!" Nana repeated.
"Are you sure?" Jian asked doubtfully.
"Yes! I am!" Nana said confidently.
"But what if...."
"I know that you're going to save me if ever I fall off to the water!" Nana suddenly interrupted Jian.
But she froze when she realize what she said!
"Oh! I... I...I didn't mean it! I mean, it was just a joke!" Nana get rattled!
But Jian just revealed a wide smile on his face, and say, " Sure I would!" He said.
Nana tried to hide her embarrassment by lowering her head.
Alright! It's settle then! The yacht chartering is final!" Jian finally agreed.
When Nana left, Jian can't hide the smile on his face, his smile become wider and wider, just then Secretary Wen entered his office and he was shocked to see Jian smiling alone!
I'd my boss sick again?!' He secretly asked his self.
