"Mrs Song, we will be sure to get more men for the work right away. And we'll send you a file for all the shops we have here in Beijing." the head manager said as he led them back to the main company grounds.
"It's alright. And I also apologize for his behaviour. I'll be sure not to bring him next time." she also said back to him awkwardly.
"It's alright. Mr Xiao can come here anytime he wants and I'llbe happy to show him around." the head manager said with a pleasing smile.
'Hmph! They all have that smile on their face when they see a wealthy person.' Song Mimi thought to herself as she kept looking at the head manager.
"Thank you for your time then. We'll get going then." she said and Xiao Juhan turned to her shocked.
"We're leaving... but it's pouring outside." he sad to her pointing out the glass display.
"So...? Are you some kind of salt that dissolves in water? Come on... we're not staying for you to have the privilage of embarrasing me even more." she sad as she walked out and he just sighed as he took his jacket off and chased after her in the the rain covering them with his jacket until they got her villa.
"Zhong Hu...!" she run over to him as Xiao Juhan still covered her with his jacket. She reached for the lock and typed in her password and the gates opened right away as they entered and she once again entered the pin on her door for them to enter.
"Did you stand out there for too long...? Come with me." she said as she went upstairs leaving Xiao Juhan down there alone.
"You can stay here for now. Zhou Sheng prepared this guest room just in case you arrived late. Get changed first." she said and left for her room to also get changed.
"Did she actually forget that Xiao Juhan can't stand the rain?" he asked himself before going in to get changed.
Minutes later and Zhong Hu heard a knock on his door and he opened to see Song Mimi.
"Mrs Song, did you check on Xiao Juhan?" he asked her looking at her.
"And why should I? He's a man isn't he? He can take care of himelf. Where are the papers I asked you to get?" she asked him looking up at the shocked expression on his face.
"Mrs Song, there's no way you would actually forget Xiao Juhan can't stand the rain right?" he asked looking at her and her face turned pale right away as she run fast from there back down to the living room to find the shivering and sneezing Xiao Juhan.
She rushed over to him wrapping a blanket around him. She pulled him over to her as he rested on her shoulder trying to warm him up.
"How's Zhong Hu doing now? He didn't catch a cold like me did he?" he asked her still trying to laugh.
"Shut up. Don't talk otherwise I'll shave off all your hair." she said to him still warming him up as she felt her heart racing as hell. Then Zhong Hu also came down right away.
"Help me get him up the stairs." she said to him right away and he went over as they took him up to her own room.
"Go to the kitchen and prepare me a hot pack." she said to him and he left right away as she sat by him on the bed taking his hand.
"Why didn't you say anything? Are you trying to make me responsible for everything that happens to you?" she asked him and he smiled.
"But you've never been responsible for anything concerning me..." just those words he said were enough to shutter her heart like a huge mountain falling on her whole world.
"Besides, when I saw you walking in the rain willing to get drenched, I knew you had something urgent to do so I also didn't want to get in your way more than I already did." he said to her with a smug smile and at that moment, she didn't know whether to feel angry at him being soo stupid or sad for not actually knowing such a common fact about him when she knew him for more than ten years.
"Get some rest. She'll bring the hot pack later on and you'll feel much warmer." she sad to him and ruffled his hair.
'He feels soo much like a cat.' She placed her hand on his forehead caressing him when Zhong Hu entered with the hotpack then paused in his tracks seeing how close his boss was to someone other than her sister. She turned to him then stretched her hand out for the hotpack and he placed it in her hand before leaving.
She placed it beside him covering him up with the blanket for him to warm up for a while. She kept staring at him until she finally fell asleep watching him.
The next day came by quickly as Xiao Juhan woke up feeling a body on him. His hand naturally reached for it when he felt hair and then looked to see Song Mimi. He smiled before tapping her and she got up still half awake when she noticed she was had slept on his chest, woke up abruptly.
"It's...it's...not what...you're thinking." She moved far away from the bed feeling awkward and turned away opening the curtains as the sun rays penetrated her black room.
He got up also wearing his flip-flops standing far away from her as both didn't know what else to say at that point.
"I should get going then. I don't want to keep you away from your work." She nodded as he said that and just watched as he left her room. She stood there for a while before chasing after him to the living room where Zhong Hu was working.
"Wait...! I...I just wanted to say...call me when you get home and that's only because I want to know whether you're okay cause I'll feel guilty if something bad happened to you after all it's all my fault you've caught a cold..."
Zhong Hu turned to her shocked as she never talked soo fast all in one breath before since she was always the calm and reserved type of person.
"...and I would be very worried if something were to happen to you so just please...call me when you get home." Xiao Juhan stood there looking at her as his mind drifted back to their time in high school.
-------
Song Mimi sat in the cafeteria alone as usual as someone pushed her head almost making her head fall in her food and she turned to see her one and only carring bully standing behind her with a smug smile. She dropped the chopsticks on the table with a loud bang getting up.
"Xiao Juhan how can you be soo insensible? Can't you see I'm eating and I could have choked because of your stupid actions and my food would be ruined if my face fell in and I would be humiliated because of your stupid pranks on me. Why can't you pick on someone else in school or is it because you find them stronger than you or is it because you find more pleasure in picking on..."
She choked on the food she was eating since she didn't finish what's in her mouth as Xiao Juhan stood there unaware of the fact.
"Of course it's because I find more pleasure in bullying you than theothers cause none of them talk in one breath out of rage just like you and stop that act of yours it's doesn't suit you."
"Um...Juhan I think she's actually choking." He stopped as his face got serious and then started hitting her back gently.
"Spit it out!" He yelled out of frustration as she still was choking then held one of his friends hand before hitting her back a bit harder and she spat it out into his hand. He stood there looking at his hand before running to the bathroom. Xiao Juhan then helped her sit before giving her some water.
"Are you crazy? Why would you think of scolding me when you still have food in your mouth?"
-------
"Xiao Juhan...Xiao Juhan?!" He snapped out of his thoughts looking at her and then smiled.
"I definitely will of course." She smiled upon hearing that as she watched him leave and Zhong Hu sat there watching all the drama in front of him.
