Chapter 14 - Cure (2)

"Yes, mom. Let's get ready for dinner." said Ji-a's mom.

"Qing, let's go change first." said Ji-a.

"Okay."

After a couple of minutes, Ji-a and Qing ran down the stairs and headed straight for the kitchen.

"I'm gonna sit with mom." said Qing.

"Whose mom?" asked Ji-a, annoyed.

"Obviously, my mom." said Qing, hugging Mrs. Qing.

"Suit yourself. I'm gonna sit with grandma. Grandma eats little so, it's better sitting with her." said Ji-a.

"You want to sit with me so that you can eat my shares. This girl." said Ji-a's grandma flicking Ji-a's forehead.

Mr. Zhang also returned by the time they were sitted. "Is dinner ready?" asked Mr. Zhang.

"You're back. Come sit down. I'll bring your rice." said Mrs. Zhang.

"Qing, you're also here. How've you been?"

"I'm fine uncle. Just a little overloaded with work." said Qing, smiling.

"How's Mrs. Yue?"

"She doing well as of late, uncle." answered Qing.

They all ate a hearty dinner and Ji-a and Qing went upstairs to Ji-a's room after dinner.

Ji-a preferred well lighted room and her room was in color schemes of white, lilac and lavender. On the front side, there was a big, glass door with a small balcony having enough space for a small table and a chair. Her room also had a walk-in closet and a big spacious attached bathroom . Her bed was a king-sized with soft mattress. Her room also had a big, soft sofa. There was a study next to her room where she worked most of the time. Her room was so spacious. One could easily tell from the way she lived that she likes having space to herself.

Qing jumped onto the huge bed while Ji-a went inside the the bathroom for a quick shower. She came out after about ten minutes and started applying her lotions.

"What did you want to talk about?" asked Qing.

"Go take a shower first. We'll talk after that." answered Ji-a.

"Alright, then." and Qing went inside the bathroom. She took a long shower and when she came out, Jia was already munching a big chocolate bar. She wore some new clothes from Ji-a's closet and flung again onto the bed.

"Can my nyctophobia be cured?" asked Ji-a.

"Did something happen?" asked Qing raising her eyebrows.

"Yeah. I thought I already overcame it. I guess not." sighed Ji-a.

"Don't worry. We'll just go through some procedures. It may take a while for you since you don't want to take medication." said Qing. "Don't worry, girl. It's normal for people to have some flaws. We can't always be perfect."

"Yes, I know. If I haven't met you guys, I don't know what might have happened to me." said Ji-a.

"And stop eating chocolates before going to bed. You'll have cavities." said Qing and snatched away the chocolate bar from Ji-a.

"Just that one. Please, Qing." pleaded Ji-a, imitating a baby's voice.

"Whatever. "

The night went by and when Qing woke up Ji-a was working out on her treadmill inside the room.

"What's the time?" mumbled Qing.

It's already 8." said Ji-a.

" Shit! Why didn't you wake me up? "cursed Qing.

Ji-a just shrugged her shoulder and focused on working out. For someone who liked to eat very much, Ji-a also worked out a lot. She would spend at least half an hour everyday to work out. She had the perfect slim, petite figure with a small waist. Xu Li-Na would often say that Ji-a's body is just the same as Park Chaeyoung's body from Blackpink.

After Qing left, Ji-a was about to shower went Mr. Ye called. "Good morning, Mr. Ye." greeted Ji-a politely.

"Good morning, Miss Zhang. Can you come to the company this morning? I want to talk to you about some matters."

"Sure, Mr. Ye. I'll be there in an hour."

"Then, I'll be waiting for you, Miss Zhang."

Although Ye Peter owned the largest jewellery making company in the country, he still treated Zhang Ji-a with respect because he knew that Ji-a had a lot of potential and she was hardworking. He liked how straightforward Ji-a was and something in him told him that this girl is not ordinary.

After ending the call, Ji-a brushed and took a hot bath with her favourite sandalwood soap. After shower she put on her scented moisturising body lotion. She put on serum on her face and then, sunscreen. She put on her lip balm and her favourite peach lipstick. She wore a white off-shoulder long sleeves top paired with a black pencil skirt. She wore a black heels and came downstairs for breakfast.

"Jiji, are you going somewhere?" asked her father who was at the kitchen helping her mom prepare breakfast.

"Yes, dad. I've to meet someone."

"Have your breakfast before before heading out." reminded him.

"Will do, dad."

Her mom and dad prepared toast, omelet and sauce. Her ate her fill and drank her milk.

"Mom, please tell grandma that I went out." said Ji-a as she rushed out. She got into her car and was on her way towards Platinum Jewellery.
