Bashful

Du Ai Sha did not know she stood there for how long before she regained her senses. Her tears and the raindrop became one. Her whole body was shivering just as her heart continue to tremble. Not once did he spare her a glance. All these years, her hopes and dreams were all one sided. She thought at least once they meet up again she would be able to court him. Isn't that how it was supposed to be? However, in this case, she never stood a chance! Her anguish, pain and embarrassment she let it all go the pouring rain. She did not noticed a shadow behind the tree looking at her and then the man walked away.

The next morning, Ru Ran woke up feeling refreshed, despite feeling exhausted from their love making as well as yesterday's incidents. This feeling can be attributed to having him in her arms. She could always sleep peacefully when she knows he is around. He have that magical effect on her.

Since the fire had consume the whole factory, Ru Ran decided to hold a meeting in the main office. The workers from the factory gathered there as well. She decided to acquire an abandon factory to continue production. The stocks plummeted after yesterday incidents. She somehow managed to manipulate the stock market a bit and buffered the loss. The factory is currently being cleaned up and should be able to operate in two days time. The machineries had all been upgraded and will be delivered tomorrow. All these were possible with Ji Yu's help and connection. Everything were done in a hushed manner as not to alert their enemies. The board of directors as well as the board of managers were impressed with her swift actions.

Ji Yu on the other hand was busy with making arrangements with Darren. He plans to shift the current orphanage to Country Z and establish a new orphanage there under a different guise and name. He wants Darren back here as well. He will build a hospital in Country Z, he wants to show those who wanted to destroy him, he won't back down. Plus, Shin Tong had been complaining non stop about Darren to him and had involved his mother and aunt as well. He has a little regret for trying to play the middle person.

Shin Tong was in a middle of a meeting when she suddenly sneezed. Damn, who was it that just cursed me, she thought to herself. Must be that Darren guy. The thought of him made her blush. She could still remember his hands on her behind. He was quiet during dinner and did nothing to impress her but he was gentleman enough to serve her food. Since that night, she could not help but think of the scum. He promised her to bring her out for a week instead after that night he disappeared without a word. Initially she tried a subtle approach with Ji Yu to get more information and Darren's number but that man was just too dense or he is doing it on purpose. Her mother noticed the changes in her kept pestering her and she finally blurted out that she was distracted by a man.

Somehow, her aunt, Ji Yu's mother got involved and finally Ji Yu got the message and gave her Darren's number. Since morning she could not concentrate on the meeting and was wondering if she should make the first move. Her mother kept bugging her to contact Darren, she kept saying that this is no longer the olden days where the girls have to act all shy. Nowadays, good quality man is hard to find and once found, one should not give up and start pursuing. She could not believe her mother. This is the same woman forbidding her from getting a boyfriend before she finish her studies. Now that she has finished her studies, her mother is now worried she will end up as a spinster. Not only she is asking her to chase after a guy, she is even calling her friends up arrange blind date for her. She could swear that her mother is trying to chase her away from home.

She shook her head, just thinking about how havoc things are at home at the moment is enough to cause her headache. There is always something about her dressing, her demeanour and style that gets criticised by her mother. She has a close relationship with her mother and she knows her mother is just worried about her being single for the rest of her life due to her eccentric reputation but in all seriousness her mother is driving her crazy. Her father refused to intervene and watches from the sideline. It is a known fact that the females of her mother's family all have doting husband.

She wants a man like her father. However, they are rare species and hard to find. Most young master of influential families are either spoiled or a player. She wants a man that can dedicate his whole life to her alone.

"Miss! Miss!"

Shin Tong fake a cough as she was caught day dreaming by her workers. She quickly channel all her inner thoughts to what they were saying. Her subordinates were all shocked as this is the first time they witnessed her change of expressions during meeting and they could swear they saw her blush. Such occasion is extremely rare.

Shin Tong changed her expression back to her expressionless face and vow to make Darren pay once she sees him.
