Their voices were high-pitched, it could pierce an eardrum but Min Chu still remained unconscious in their arms.
"Chief?"
Liu Yang lightly taps Min Chu's cheek but got no response.
"She is unresponsive. Her lips are too pale and her hands are cold, too." Xi said on the side.
"What is happening? Is this my fault?"
Liu Yang looks up at Amy trembling in fear while looking down at Min Chu's unconscious body on Liu Yang arms. The latter starts to also look pale as she panicked. Liu Yang takes a deep breath and keeps a sound mind. The situation will be worse if everyone of them lose their minds at the same time.
"Xi, inform Chief's secretary. Tell her to get the car ready."
Xi nods and quickly went for the door to inform the secretary of the situation.
"Miss Amy, pull yourself together. Breathe," Liu Yang tried to calm Amy down. "Take a seat first."
Amy nods simultaneously and settles on the swivel chair. She is starting to hyperventilate, and Liu Yang worries, what if she has asthma? She is not aware of her medical condition, and the they are in a sticky situation. Min Chu is still in her arms and she cannot leave her body lying on the cold fool to tend on Amy.
Thankfully, Xi and Min Chu's secretary finally arrive. She told Xi to fetch Amy some water to finally calm her down. It turns out Amy does not have asthma, thank the heavens.
They were accompanied by middle-aged man in a black suit. Liu Yang recognizes him to be the Chief's chauffer. He crouches down and slowly but surely held Min Chu in his arms.
"Take care of her." Liu Yang told him. He nodded back at her and headed the door.
Relief floods over her. She turns to Amy, still sitting on the chair, her breathing now finally even but her eyes are red and sunken. She is totally shaken by the incident.
"Miss Amy," Liu Yang holds her hand, "Chief is going to be fine."
"I know. I'm just a bit startled, that's all."
"Do you want some more water?" Liu Yang signaled Xi to get another glass of water.
Amy shakes her head. "No. I want to go to the hospital. I wanted to make sure Sis-in-law is fine."
"Sure," Liu Yang answered as she handed her the glass of water. "We'll reschedule the meeting some other time."
"Can you come with me?" Amy asked while tugging on her sleeve.
"Please?" she added she did not receive a reply.
Liu Yang looks at Xi, who gave her a nod as a sign of affirmation, before turning back at Amy. She lets out a sigh. "I'll have to ask my secretary if I have the time."
After checking her schedule for the afternoon, Liu Yang decided to grant Amy's wish and calls it a day at work.
As expected, the hospital Min Chu was brought to is one of Yinyang's affiliates. Well, aside from it is one of the big hospitals in the city with the best facilities, the President would not want just any hospital to look into his wife, would he?
And it seems like there are rooms intended for the family members, since Amy directly led her to a specific floor without consulting the front desk.
As they enter the room, they saw Min Chu laying on the bed still unconscious. Her secretary is talking to a middle-aged doctor in a gown.
"Daddy!"
Liu Yang eyes widened when Amy approached the doctor and clings to his arm.
"Oh, you are here."
"How is Sis-in-law?"
Amy's father puts his hand around her shoulders. "There is nothing to worry to about. She just overworked herself and…" he clears his throat before continuing, "anyways, let's wait for your Big Brother to arrive."
"The Vice President is now on his way." Min Chu's secretary announced.
"Well, I better be on my way. I have some files to review first. Call me when Guan Qing arrives."
"Okay, Dad."
The doctor turns to the door when he saw Liu Yang.
"Oh, and you are?"
"Ah," Liu Yang bows at him with a smile.
"Daddy, she is my Editor."
"It's nice to meet you, Doctor Niu. My name is Liu Yang."
Doctor Niu's face brightens at the mention of her being Amy's Editor. "Really? It's nice meeting you here. Thank you for taking care of my daughter despite her awful attitude."
"Dad!" Amy pouted when she heard what he had said.
Liu Yang smiled. "It is only my duty as her editor, Doctor."
"See? Even Editor Liu loves me," Amy said proudly to which Liu Yang almost let out a groan. What love is she saying now?
"Okay, I understand." Doctor Niu patted Amy's head. "I'll go ahead now," then, he left the room.
Liu Yang watched as the door closes. Now she finally understands where Amy got most of her facial features. Aside from her seemingly fair skin and freckles, which makes her really stand out, her Asian beauty still dominates.
"Ms. Amy, I better go ahead now." she said as she noticed that everything is fine. She is not needed here, Liu Yang thought.
"Eh? Why?" Amy said and held her hand tightly, not letting it go. "And, Editor, please just call me Amy. We're not even at work right now."
"There are still manuscripts that I have to review. And the Vice President might arrive at any minute," Liu Yang said while looking at the clock on the wall.
So, it's almost lunch time. She better gives Wan Li a call and ask him out to have lunch.
"But you said your schedule is free for the rest of the afternoon. You already did an early clock out. Now, you must have to have lunch with me."
"That doesn't mean I have to skip work right now." Liu Yang stared at Amy's puppy eyes. She just realized their height difference right now. How is she taller than her? It must be her foreign genes, right?
"Please…" Amy begged. Her grip on Liu Yang's hand is getting tighter by the minute, indicating no room for argument.
Her horrified face from earlier is now replaced with joy.
'Why the hell is she so happy about this?' Liu Yang questioned herself.
"Fine," Liu Yang said in defeat. She did not know why or how she gave in to this brat. She glared at Amy who is grinning widely while staring at her phone.
This is the first time that Amy received a 'yes' from Liu Yang to have a meal with her. All those months that they have been working together, she always gets declined. Right now, she is grinning from ear to ear. It feels like she won the jackpot.
"Big Brother!"
Liu Yang got startled when she heard Amy calling someone from the door. They are sitting on the sofa, and their backs are facing door. Turning her head, Liu Yang saw a handsome and elegantly-looking man walking towards her.
It feels like god descended from the heaven. This man looks immaculate and he is shining.
It is none other than, the Vice President, Niu Guan Qing.
Stuck on her seat, Liu Yang's gaze followed every step that he makes. To her dismay, he went straight to the bed where Min Chu is.
Blinking her eyes several times, Liu Yang gathered her thoughts and watched as the Vice President grazes Min Chu's cheek. She could not help but blush at the sudden affection, even though it was not her cheek that got touched.
How can she not blush right now? She had been crushing over him for years…
