Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Sunny Joy

Sunny joy after the rain found Bianca on the veranda of the banker's office, she had already changed into the clothes that were in the closet a few sizes bigger were hanging on her, but Bianca who liked casual clothes felt like her style, luckily there was something in the banker's closet sports clothes that can be worn by women.The city of Shanghai was waking up from its nightmare after the storm, the swollen water receding from the street leaving traces of trees and leaves, but soon after, city cleaning cars passed through the street washing away the fallen leaves and mud, and the city shone in its old glory bathed in sunlight at sunset.After Dr. Ling brought to the office Bianca went to the bathroom and took a warm bath in the tub, to relax after the typhoon trauma. Only then did she start to come to her senses and her first thought was her purse, she doesn't remember seeing it when she was changing to enter the bathroom. She could no longer be in the tub and came out with her hair wrapped in a towel and a cotton Badel robe that had been prepared for her, a little too big for a woman, it meant that he had not brought women into the banker's private office before, but that space was meant for a single man bachelors.For her, it was a sign that Dr. Ling was not a womanizer, and that she didn't have to be afraid of him, the man just wanted to help her in trouble and, as he said himself, to save the finances he had invested in her project. "But where is her purse now with the cash for the project,"Bianca panicked and went to look for her dirty clothes that she had left in the laundry basket, when she was stopped by a voice:"Don't worry Bianca, they found your purse on the street, everything is fine, all the documents and cash are there, nothing was damaged because you are a smart girl and put everything in a waterproof bag beforehand."Bianca breathed a sigh of relief," what luck, it's hard to create new documents when they're lost.""Yes, you know a lot of my staff lost laptops in the water, even smart phones, and you were found by the finders thanks to your mobile, so they called the numbers on the mobile, luckily you wrote down my number in the phone memory from the business card, so then I got a call from your phone and I went to get your purse while you were in the bathroom."Bianca didn't know how to say thank you, this man had saved her twice, and she even wanted to throw away the business card he gave her, until her colleague in the campus room told her that it was best to write down the number in her phone, just in case, because Bianca had no one of her own in Shanghai."You don't know, Bianca, many female students here would give a fortune to have Dr. Ling's personal phone number."Bianca didn't care, but if her colleague advises like that, she is surely right, and it turns out that she is."Still, I don't understand one more thing, how come you found me on the street when I got off the bus, you didn't follow me in the car, " Bianca told the banker bluntly.Now Doctor Ling laughed out loud:"If I followed you to see where you went with my cash, I'm joking of course, you know when there are crisis situations, typhoons and floods, the embassies of foreign countries have a mission to contact their citizens who are located and live in China, as you are a scholarship holder of the Italian embassy contacted the director of the faculty where you study, but you already went out to the city by bus, if something happened to you, school reputation would be destroyed, so director contacted me to find you because they had a signal of your phone in this area near my office. Namely, the director of the faculty and I are old schoolmates. You lost your purse and phone and did not answer the director's call."Now Bianca put together all the pieces of what had happened and she was sorry for asking him such a question."What an alpha this doctor Ling is, I have never met such a strong and important man in my life, except my father," thought Bianca.That's why she apologized to him."I'm sorry I misjudged you," she told him, embarrassed.Dr. Ling just looked at her."Well, to be honest, I would also ask such a question if I were you, but no, I don't follow because I have too many obligations, otherwise I would follow you on the social networks where you are active to see who your boyfriend is because you wear a ring on your hand, which would could mean you have someone in the heart of Italy."It's great, it's really great that her grandmother gave her that ring, as if she knew that it would protect her from the conqueror of women's hearts."Yes," said Bianca, "until I finished my studies I promised my grandmother that I would not flirt with men."
