Why Are You Here?

Liu Rushi woke up catching her head. 'AHH!!! It hurts so bad.' She felt that her head would split open anytime. She should not have gone at the club last night. If she would not have gone, she would not have come home drunk.

It is not that she drank a lot, it was just she had a bad liquor tolerance. 2 glasses and she would be out in no time.

Liu Rushi came out of her room, she was still in her yesterday's clothes. She didn't know how she came back home. The last thing which she remembered was lying her head down on the table with her eyes closed.

Rubbing her forehead, she came out of her room stumbling. "Sister-in-law!!"

Since the kitchen was down she walked down the stairs with a blurry vision. She rubbed her eyes and saw a feminine figure in the kitchen. "Sister-in-law, can you prepare a hangover soup for me? Ahh!! My head hurts badly." Liu Rushi said that and took a glass of lukewarm water kept nearby. After drinking it, she felt little good.

After her head felt calm a little, she asked to her sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law, how did I come back home last night?"

Yang Yue said while washing the dishes. "I don't know. I was asleep by the time you came back home."

"Did I come that late?" Liu Rushi asked surprised. Her sister-in-law always followed a late routine because of Liu Zhang. He always came at midnight, so she used to sleep at 1 or 2 everyday.

Seeing her shocked face, Yang Yue replied "I slept early yesterday. I think at 9. So, I don't know."

"Ohh! But doesn't brother comes home at midnight?" Liu Rushi asked being curious.

"He came early yesterday." Yang Yue reasoned.

Making an 'o' face, Rushi nodded her head in agreement. Then, suddenly something crossed her mind. With fright on her face, she asked "Did Brother open the door?"

If Liu Zhang opened the door, it would be more miserable for her. After her engagement broke with Lei Qingshan, her brother Liu Zhang became overprotective of her. Just too much.

For some time he was angry with her when he got to know that she was working in her Dad's company. He didn't even talk with his parents too. But everything got fine as Liu Rushi explained him. Nevertheless, he didn't stop being overprotective of her.

So, she got tensed on thinking that her brother might have opened the door. She calmed down when her sister-in-law replied.

"No, he also didn't open. We both were asleep." Yang Yue said and continued washing her dishes.

Thinking that her parents opened the door for her, Liu Rushi went back to her room to shower. After taking a shower, she wore Beige Culottes with Black stripes and a Black buttoned shirt. She tied her hair in a low ponytail and did some makeup. Today, she felt like going bold, so she applied a winged eyeliner, a baby pink lipstick and pick blush on her cheeks. She finished her look with Black pointed heels and a Black bag.

She looked at herself in the mirror. Giving a flattered smile, she came out of the room. She bid everyone goodbye and left the house. As usual, while walking she looked towards the flower shop. She got surprised as she saw that the flower shop was demolished.

"It got demolished? When? Wasn't it there yesterday?" She asked herself as she had seen the flower shop yesterday. And today, she saw nothing but broken pieces of wood and tiles. She didn't even see any person nearby the shop.

'So, he won't be coming back?' Liu Rushi felt like crying after seeing his flower shop gone. That was the only thing which was giving her hope that one day Zhang Wei would eventually return, He will one day come back to her. But who would have thought that there was no turning back?

Liu Rushi felt tears fall from the corner of her eyes.

She quickly wiped them thinking that someone would see her in such a state. She took out a small mirror from her bag and adjusted her makeup. "Time to start anew." She encouraged herself but the tears never stopped. They just made her vision blurry and she walked keeping her head low.

As she took steps, the tears fell on the ground one by one leaving a wet mark as she walked....

Liu Rushi reached her office with red swollen eyes. When the receptionist asked her why her eyes were red, she just casually replied that she slept very little yesterday.

Keeping her bag on her table, she sat down on the chair holding the bridge of her nose. She kept her head lowered. It was actually infuriating for her to be in such a miserable state.

A month had passed and she was still unable to forget him. Consequently, she was reminded of him, her first love. She couldn't even think how did they end up apart from each other. They were almost going to get married and then before marriage, they broke off. It was unthinkable as to how fast things went and she was just left alone crying for him.

Liu Rushi looked up as she smelled coffee. She saw a cup of warm coffee kept on her table. She hadn't had breakfast yet. So, her stomach growled as she smelled coffee.

She immediately took the cup and stood up to thank the person, when she stood still unmoving.

It was Ji Min Jun, her yesterday's nightclub partner.

Liu Rushi immediately pulled him by his hand and asked in a low voice "Why are you here?" Anger was written all over her face.

"What do you mean by why? Can't I be here?" Ji Min Jun asked.

"Don't play like a fool. Just go. Didn't you read the instructions, only members who work in this company are allowed inside, a simple man can't come." Liu Rushi tried explaining him.

She still maintained her low voice because she didn't wanted to let others know about an outsider entering inside the company. They would be too much in shock and the company would get in chaos.

However, Ji Min Jun kept his cool and said "Why should I go?"

"You should go because you are..."

Just as she was explaining, a voice came behind her "Mr. Ji Min Jun?"

Liu Rushi let go his hand and turned around. "Good morning, Mr. Feng!" She greeted him and continued "He is just leav..."

"You are Ji Min Jun, right?" Feng Xinglang just bowed and came back to his point.

"Yeah, I am." Ji Min Jun spoke hesitatingly.

"Good!!! Our CEO is calling you. Please follow m!!" Feng Xinglang said and started to walk away.

"See, you should have not come...." Liu Rushi sighed.

She tapped on his shoulder and said "Don't worry. Our CEO is a good person, I am sure he will forgive you. Now, GO. CEO doesn't likes it when you are late." Liu Rushi pushed him.

"And... Thank You for the coffee!" She said while raising her coffee cup.
