"Did she actually tell you to wait for her ten minutes? Why would she come here of all places? Hasn't she heard anything about this place and its troubles?"
"She seems to know this place very much well more than we do. Don't you know anything about her life?"
"Okay first of all, let's start with names. I'm Zhong Hu and the secretary of Ms Song. So now, you start with your names." Zhong Hu looks back at them after watching the time.
"I'm Jiang Zhu, the eldest and Bow right here is Hu Lianyi, we call her Bow cause she likes them a lot. The quiet one is Jiang Yu, she's my little sister and the chocolate lover is Lianyi' junior sister, Hu Bao Bao, we call her little Bow. We met coincidentally." Zhong Hu looks at them before looking back at the time.
"Well that's it then. Our introduction took exactly one minute and that makes exactly ten minutes. Where's my boss then?" He looks out then spots Song Mimi coming with her hair messed up and moist from sweating. She gets in the front as Zhong Hu hands her a towel and starts the car before driving away.
"Ms Song, are you okay? Do we need to go to a hospital?" She turns to him before turning to the girls.
"Head to the hospital, they need the check up. Your names?" She asks before finally wiping her sweat.
"The normal one is the eldest, Jiang Zhu and the next one to her they call her Bow is called Hu Lianyi. Next to her is the quiet one and Jiang Zhu's sister Jiang Yu and then little Bow the chocolate lover is Hu Lianyi's little sister, Hu Bao Bao." She turns to them after the introduction from Zhong Hu which she expected from them rather.
"You're all related and also have little sisters. I used to be just like you taking care of my sister in that neighbourhood. So now you're all my responsibility. Zhong Hu, take care of them in the hospital then handle their paper works. I'll stay in the car, I need rest." She drifts off into sleep right after that as Zhong Hu speeds up.
He had seen her that way many times even when Lei Ming didn't beat her up. She looked very pale as though she was already a corpse but she always refused hospital. The only thing she did was rest for a really long while and that's what she needed.
They reached her villa and the only thing Song Ming did was go to her room.
"Is she okay? She seems sick to me. She didn't get hurt fighting the mob, did she?" Zhong Hu looks at them shocked upon hearing their words.
"She fought a mob? You mean a mob of people?"
"I gave you her coat and phone didn't I? It's the only thing she handed to us before telling us to leave." He looks at them for a while processing it all in.
"Come with me, I'll show you to your rooms." He walks ahead then notice them still rooted to their spot.
"Anything the matter?" They look at each other before Hu Lianyi steps forward.
"We can't sleep alone unless together." He looks at them confused before nodding.
"Come along. There's a big room enough for all four of you. You'll just have to make do with one bed for now. I'll make some changes to your room tomorrow." He continues before they finally follow him.
Song Mimi on the other hand, laid on her bed looking up to the chandelier as her mind trails back to the apartment and the void which triggered her powers.
~Could that place lead to the seven terms valley?~ She thought still thinking about it the whole time and she drifted into a deep she later comes to find out to be longer than she expected.
Approximately seven days later, Zhong Hu enters placing food on her table and Xiao Juhan following behind him seeing Zhou Sheng sitting on a single couch just waiting.
"What do we do about her now? She's been like this for seven days straight. The event is today and all the shareholders will be present and they would want to know about her. They're already starting to bark just these seven days she hasn't had a video conference with them."
"Be quiet already will you? She'll definitely wake up. She's a born leader and she can fight. She'll definitely wake up. She has to."
They stare at her lifeless body even though she's breathing alright. But her state was enough to make anyone think she was dead. Then slowly her eyes opened as Zhou Sheng gets up from the couch. Xiao Juhan moves over to her side as Zhong Hu pours her some water.
"Song Mimi...?"
She looks at him then sighs before looking around.
"Why did you wake me up from my dream?"
She asked calmly as they all look at her confused.
"But I've only been here for three days and I didn't wake you up. What are you talking about?"
"In my dream you were there the whole time and wouldn't leave but you pushed me into a void and told me to return."
"Okay first thing first, we can be sure it's not me cause I would never push you away."
"Well he's right about that. He sticks to you like a snail on a leaf. But he seems more glued to you than a snail on a leaf..."
Zhong Hu turns his gaze to Song Mimi who was staring at him the whole time.
"I mean, you've been asleep for seven days straight and that's not very logic Miss Song."
"Seven days...? The event is today then. Where are the girls?"
"Already took them to new headquaters of the new JM Jewels. And I already got your dress for tonight' event. Everything is set Miss Song."
"Did you invite Miss Lei as well?"
"Like I said, everything is done according to your plans Miss Song."
"Get ready then. Go back and make sure the girls are okay. I'll see you there."
Zhong Hu leaves as Xiao Juhan remains there and Song Mimi looks at him confused.
"Aren't you leaving as well. I'm fine now so you can leave. There's no need for you to stay any longer."
"Alright then if you say so..." he kisses her forehead right then before leaving as though it was nothing before Song Mimi could even throw a fit. She sat down still as he left just like that and Zhou Sheng cleared her throat making her come back to her senses.
"So..."
"I just spent seven days in the seven terms valley. And during that time I got to know everything about the seven beings. I just don't know why Xiao Juhan was there as well."
