A vast spread of dishes laid on the big dining table of the Wu Mansion containing a combination of both Chinese as well as Western breakfast. Wu Zhang was sitting at his usual place, at the head of the table whereas Wu Zihao was on his right, leaving a gap of two chairs in between them.
Wu Zhang looked at the empty staircase, waiting for Song Jia to come down as it had become their routine to have their breakfast together. He glanced at his watch again and it was already fifteen minutes past eight and she was nowhere in sight.
"Where is Xiao Jia?" He asked the maid who was standing a few feet away from the table, with her head bowed down respectfully, not looking the young masters in the eye.
"Miss Song left early for work today. She seemed to be in a hurry." The maid answered politely.
"Did she eat anything?" He asked again.
