"I hope so." Lady Tong said as profound sadness engraved on her face.
"Let's head back home." Chairman Xu looked at Lady Tong with eyes that show genuine concern.
Lady Tong didn't answer right away as her hands continued arranging the sketches.
"You head back first. There are things that I must do before I head home." Lady Tong spoke in a such a soft voice.
"Do you want me to wait for you or do you want some time alone?" Chairman Xu asked with a serious look and warmth in his eyes.
"I want to be alone for a while." Lady Tong answered as her hands rested on top of the pile of papers.
"Okay. See you later then." Chairman Xu opened the door and left the room.
Soon after the chairman had left the room, Lady Tong inhaled sharply and continued arranging the pile stock of sketches. When she was done fixing the papers, she pulled open one of the table drawers.
