Lu Jinho looked at me with a disappointed face and I couldn't help but laugh while he buried his head into the nuke of my neck and made disagreeing sounds.
"We have to go, they'll be waiting for us".
He stayed for a few seconds and then stood up. I put my shirt back on and we went to the living room. When we got there, everybody was already waiting. I guess it was a pretty important gathering.
"Well, well, look who decided to grace up with his presence".
Aunty Quin Li said but Lu Jinho didn't say anything and just went to get a chair and sat down still holding my hand.
"I have called you all today because I have something important to discuss with you all. I beg of you to give me your total attention".
Grandma said. It was as though she was trying to avoid what happened the last time.
"The Xio's have been stealing our ideas not just with the restaurant but also with the skin care products I believe they are planting people in all of our businesses and I need all of you to assist me. As you know, I can't do this on my own".
She sounded calmer and less energetic compared to the other day. It was obvious she didn't like the fact that her family didn't get along.
"We know all they want is to become number one in the business market. They've been trying really hard for years now. Don't worry grandma, the Xio's are not so difficult to handle".
"Lu Jinho is right mom, if what you said is true and all they are did is just plant people inside the companies then we will get them in no time".
Uncle Lu Jung Min looked like he had done something like this before.
Aunty Quin Li stood up and went to grandma, knelt in front of her, and began patting her thigh.
"Mom, if this is what bothers you then you have nothing to worry about. We'll fix it in no time".
Grandma Lu wasn't the type of woman who would cry for any reason. She looked at everyone in the room and simply smiled.
"You all sure do have a lot of work to do".
Li Sina who was sitting close to grandma was smiling she knew her grandmother loved it whenever all her family members agreed on something.
Breakfast was quiet but comfortable that morning. After breakfast, grandma, aunty Quin Li, uncle Lu Jung Min, and Lu Jinho all went to grandma's study to talk about a few businesses.
I was bored and I didn't want to stay inside my room so I went to the greenhouse I visited when I just arrived. When I got there, I saw Li Sina sitting inside by the large tree. As soon as I saw her, I immediately turned back to leave because to me, she was nothing but a troublemaker.
"Aren't you here to stay?"
I stopped in my tracks and slowly, I turned around to look at her.
"You did come here to stay right?"
"Well.....you got here first so might as well be leaving now".
I heard her chuckle and I really didn't know why she felt like when nothing was funny.
"Who ever said the first person who gets here gets to keep the place? We can both stay let's just respect each other's space".
I looked at her and it looked like she was actually being serious. It was difficult to believe because this girl was always giving the trouble and I don't care vibes.
I began enjoying the beautiful scenery and very soon, I forgot there was someone else in the house as it was amazingly quiet.
I love this place, the smell of the flowers, the way they look, and even just their feel always gave me a sense of satisfaction.
I kept enjoying them for what felt like forever and when I had gotten my fill, I wanted to head out when I turned around only to see Li Sina still in the house.
"You are still here?"
"Where were you expecting me to be?"
She asked back without looking at me.
I noticed she kept doing something with her hands it looked like she was drawing something.
"Uhm...what are you doing?"
I don't know why I was being nosy. I guess the greenhouse makes me want to see everything that goes on in it.
"I'm painting".
She said in a very lazy voice that felt like 'can you stop talking now?'
I tiptoed quietly and went over to her side. When I got there, I was totally dumbfounded. It looked too good to be true.
It was a painting of the inner part greenhouse, anyone who saw it would know that that is exactly what it was but then, there was a woman standing close to the big tree in the middle of the house and even though it was her back view that was visible, anyone could tell it was grandma Lu.
Li Sina also added a few touches and put butterflies in some parts of the painting but looking at that painting, it felt like those butterflies were moving. The painting made me feel like I was inside two greenhouses it was amazing.
"How.....how are you doing that?"
She stopped, sighed, dropped her brush, and turned to look at me.
"I didn't know you made this much noise".
I was still astonished but then I pulled myself back together.
"Well, I never said I was quiet".
She nodded her head.
"Agreed. But can you please try to be quiet? I have to finish this today".
"What's there to finish it looks amazing already".
She looked at me and smirked.
"You'll know soon enough".
She continued her work and when she finished, the difference was actually very clear. She didn't do much after our conversation but the little touches she gave to it, made it spark even more.
Just when I was still appreciating the beautiful work of art, someone walked in.
"What do you think you are doing here?"
