New CEO of Lin Crown Co.

When i enter, the lights were dimmed and the servants were all cleaning.

"Miss Lin? You've returned from the hospital."

"Uh yes, Martha, have you seen my mother?"

I whisper closing the door and laying my items on the chair. She doesn't say anything and nods, pointing upstairs.

I mouth the words, thank you and walk upstairs.

I could hear my mom whimpering in their bedroom. I open the door and my mother, she was a mess and was lying on the ground. I quickly rush over and pick her up.

"M..mom! Are you alright?"

When she looks up, her eyes were red and puffy from crying. I place her on the bed and fell her forehead, checking her temperature.

"Mom! You're burning!"

I take my hand off and cover her in blankets.

"Martha!" The maid rushes up stairs and into my parents bedroom, "please prepare some porridge for my mother and call a doctor to come and check on her."

"Yes madam."

Martha leaves the room and goes down to the kitchen. I take another look at my mother and lay next to her.

"Xiaoxiao.."

I wrap my arms around her.

"Dont mom. You're sick."

"I know. It's just..you're hugging me tight."

I let her go and rise up. Should I tell her about the marriage? No..it'll probably stress her out..or maybe she'll be relieved..i don't know.

"Mom," I squeeze my hands "i..me and Zhi Xiang are getting married."

She sighs and place her hands on me.

"Is that so?"

"It's just temporary. So don't worry. I better head to bed. I have to go to the company tomorrow."

She doesn't smile, she doesn't frown. She just turns on her side and falls asleep while I walk out the room quietly trying not to wake her up.

When I close the door, I sigh and drag myself to my bedroom falling onto my bed.

I close my eyes and curl up, slowly drifting to sleep.

When morning comes, there was no sun. Just rain. Giant tears falling from the sky.

I opened my eyes and walk out of bed, heading to the bathroom. I pause and look at my reflection.

I think to myself, I can do this.

But really...I wasn't really sure if I could. After dressing up, i peak through my mother's door to check if she was still asleep, she was, i then quietly close the door hoping I wouldn't wake her.

I walk down the stairs and grab an umbrella and the keys near the door.

"Goodluck miss Lin."

I turn around and it was Martha.

"Thank you." I say as I leave the house.

I unlock the car doors and enter the car. I started the car and drove away from the house, heading for the company and as soon as I got there. The lobby staff...greeted me...along with everyone I passed through in the elevator. Then i met with my assistant.

"Miss lin," a deep but soft voice said "im lao yin, your new assistant. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Lao yin, he was a cute and tall man with glasses.

I smile, "likewise lao yin. I'll be heading to the office now. So please continue any work you have and please hold a company meeting at 10:30."

"Of course miss Lin."
