Meeting siblings

Just after the call ended at Vine Technologies,

Sia sleepily opened her eyes after Eva sprinkled some water on her face, she got up with a confused expression.

"Why is everyone here?" her cabin was quite a big space but still there were just too many of them. Eva helped her to sit on the couch near her, it took few minutes for Sia to exactly remember that she fainted, it was completely due to exhaustion, she was already weak besides she wasn't really having proper rest.

"I'm fine guys, you can go." she said to everyone, Tang Chuan was still insisting her to consult a doctor because when he saw her faint, he was actually scared. Everyone dispersed on her persuasion, it was then Eva told her about Mo Jingze's call.

Sia's eyes flew wide open when those words reached her ears, she looked at the time and realized Mo Xiao had told her yesterday night that his elder sister was coming today, also about their plans for morning. She was well aware that they should have been together at the time of that call. She abruptly reached the phone and called Mo Xiao. Already due to everything that happened nearly 15 minutes had passed, and Yuzhou Enterprises was nearly 45 minutes away.

As soon as the call connected, she heard an anxious voice calling her name, she could tell that he might be rushing here, she still stayed came hoping that he might not know about this.

"Where are you?" she asked calmly, Eva was still in the cabin so she walked towards a large window in her cabin.

"I'm on my way to your place." he said.

"Stop right there. I'm fine. I still need to work. So can you please go back, I'll call you as soon as I'm done. I promise." She blurted in nervously. She didn't want to sound rude, so she tried her best to sound polite.

Mo Xiao stopped his car and exhaled. "Are you sure? Fine, if you promise me that you'll visit a doctor I'll go." He said at which he heard a soft 'Hm'.

"Okay. I'll go. Don't forget to call me." He said before turning his car back to Yuzhou Enterprises. Though he desperately wanted to meet her, embrace her, he couldn't do it. Despite his worries which tormented him so badly, he couldn't see her.

Sia went back to work for a few hours before leaving for home earlier than usual. She called him as soon as she left the office building.

After Mo Xiao came back in the afternoon, he told others that she was fine. They all left for their own work later. Mo Xiao became busy as well, this guy whenever he started working he always losses track of time. Though he leaves office right on time, it was clearly due to the alarm he set on his phone, just because she called him approximately after that time.

It was still working hours when she called, but what she didn't know was that a single call from her could put a large company like Yuzhou into a frenzy.

At Yuzhou Enterprises, all the members in the meeting were terrified, not a single thread of hope was left in their hearts which could encourage them to keep going, Mo Xiao was discussing this meeting since he came back from lunch. It was already evening but this monster, doesn't seem to let them off. Every time people thought the meeting was about to be over, this monster would dig up an old hole, this was going on since last 2 hours.

Finally, gods pitied them. A thing that never happened in history of Yuzhou took place today, there workaholic master concluded the meeting even before he picked up the incoming call. But what shocked them most were the words and expressions of their boss.

"No, I was about to leave. Yeah, I'm done. Okay I'll call you once I reach home." He said gently before hanging up the call.

All the mouths were dropped looking at their boss. But as soon as Mo Xiao looked up, they scurried off just like a flock of sheep who would run when faced a tiger.

Unfortunate for this love struck fool when he called Sia after reaching home, she was in shower.

"I'm so sorry, I was in shower when you called." She said as soon as she called back.

They chatted for a while about Mo Jing's take over, Sia's health issue, Mo Xiao's workload and other issues before hanging up.

Weeks passed, this couple used to talk on daily basis and meet on weekends for dinner, despite everything the most interesting thing between them was Sia's behavior towards him, even though he was her dream guy, it wouldn't be wrong to say that she treated him respectfully rather than affectionately, but Mo Xiao was extremely patient with her. They had decided to keep their marriage a secret from society until engagement, because both of them liked to stay low profile.

Once on a weekend Mo Jingze called Sia in the afternoon, it was a Saturday.

"Sister-in-law, though I met you once. Others are yet to meet you, even Jing Jie* wanted to meet you. Why don't we guys join you tomorrow??" Mo Jingze asked in a kittenish tone. This guy was trying really hard to join them on their dinner but both the parties seemed to avoid him. But today, he used his other cousins as a shield. And as expected, it gave him more chances of success.

"Okay, I'll let you know in a few minutes." Sia said with a small smile. She knew his trick, even then she couldn't help but think about it. She called Mo Xiao right after that.

"I wanted them to join us, even I would like to meet them, but." She said with a slight pause.

"Sia, don't mind them. If you don't want them, you should not force yourself." said Mo Xiao. Despite being forced by his cousins and Jingze he didn't want her to feel pressured, so he never forced her.

"I was just saying that, if you don't mind can we have dinner with them today?? We don't meet each other than Sunday's. You see I…." she sounded extremely shy about it. But he could imagine her flushed face.

"Sia, why cannot I find this Sia when I meet you? Haiz, fine I'll tell them about this and we will have our dinner together today at our regular place. Happy??" though he wasn't expecting her to reply but her excited reply made his lips curve up.

She was so happy that she couldn't control her emotions. "Yes I'm happy." She said with a deep smile.

Sia couldn't help but reflect on herself for these past weeks.

*Jie- Elder sister are respectfully called 'Jie'. Whereas small ones are said 'Xiao'.
