When Su Jie Sheng left Yong Zhi Rou's room, he headed calmly towards his room but his long strides shows that he is trying to go back immediately as if hiding something.
When he arrived, he couldn't help but go to the bathroom to do some miscellaneous things that probably needs some energy with his right hand.
After taking a cold shower, he took the box and opened it.
Inside, there reveals a burgundy colour tie.
His lips couldn't help but lift. Thinking that the tie and the necklace is like a symbol that knots them together.
Then a memory flashed that shows what happened just a moment ago. How her cheeks and ears turn red. Just like how she turned stiff.
Right now, I have the opportunity. This is the time that I had wished. The time that was lost because of my optimism.
Zhi Rou has blood that flows to her body now. Remembering the dark days that made myself be devoured by fright. The days when she is daunt by death... Scares me the most.

When we arrived at the party, Mr. Jeong welcomed us.
"President Su, welcome to South Korea. Thank you for taking your time to attend my daughter's engagement party." Mr. Jeong said with hospitality.
"Congratulations on your daughter's engagement." Su Jie Sheng said as I handed the gift.
"Please enjoy the party. I want to stay and talk but it's her engagement today."
"Dad, you really did a good job to remember it, huh. After how much I told you to stick by my side, I finally succeeded." A lady wearing a beautiful dress and a man with a pair of eyes that glows with happiness and satisfaction walked in with hands linked.
"Baby!" He exclaimed as he walked towards the couple.
"Please excuse me Mr. Su" He held his head embarrassingly.
"No, forgive us. Please pass them my congratulations." Su Jie Sheng said to Mr. Jeong as he bowed his head to the couple.
Su Jie Sheng doesn't let it show but I know he acknowledges people who respects the boundary of business and family by following him in my dreams as a ghost.
"Let's go." Su Jie Sheng walked towards a table and seated.
I also grabbed two glasses of champagne for use from the waiter.
When we settled to the table, I handed him the champagne.
Looking at Su Jie Sheng, you can see a genius. He can operate a company that he inherited from his father at a young age. He is only 31 years old this year.
I remember a sentence from a book that I have read: 'Hide your sufferings if you want to stand proud and powerful'. Behind that majestic facade is a back full of scars.
He works till late at night. I have been working for him for 6 years now, from what I have heard through out those years is that his mother and father died. The case of their death is being kept in the silence.
"What are you thinking?"
I looked up and saw Su Jie Sheng looking at me.
"Nothing Sir."
"Hm... I'll give you a scenario and tell me about your idea."
Is he testing me?
"Yes, sir."
"If you are able to take a glimpse of a future and the future that you saw is the winning cards for today's and tomorrow's gamble, what would you do?" He leaned back on the chair while taking a sip from the champagne.
His face doesn't even show a crack. I'm not sure if this is him being serious or not.
"If that really happened to me, I'll just use those winning cards for this day and leave the second day's card for the others. Being too greedy has it's karma." I answered while looking seriously at him.
He rarely asks me something. Even though his question is a little bit on the kidding side, I'll always take it in seriously.
"Hmm..." He dragged on as if thinking about something.
