Inviting for a meal

As Divine Care was not too big of a hospital, Wen Mei and Mr Long were in I.C.U., the surgery team was made to stay in a hotel in the nearby town.

....

In a hotel room

The room was not so big but had all the necessary comforts for those who stayed.

The room had a queen-sized bed with side tables attached on both sides. It had a sofa set with a center table topped by a flower vase also a bathroom tied.

On the opposite side was a French window from which the entire town can be seen. Dazzling lights at night time made it more enjoyable, but its impending beauty was ignored by Wen Mei who was pacing back and forth in the room.

With her mobile in her hand and the contact, I.D. was of Wang Yu Yan with the options Call or exit. She was nervous like a girl who wanted to make her first call to her crush.

She was also talking to her self.

"Should I call her or not."

"It shouldn't be late right. But what if she in the middle of a surgery,"

"Will she come if I invite her?"

"But what if she declines and blocks my number."

 "Will I be too irritating? Will she be my friend."

"But I have already called her my friend earlier and she didn't deny it."

After half an hour of other-self Questioning and self answering, she decided to make a call.

With Shaking hands, she put her phone near her ear.

After five continuous rings, Wen Mei decided to end the call.

"Maybe she is busy," she thought. As soon as her finger reached the phone screen, there was a response.

"Hello," a female voice which was soft yet cold said.

Wen Mei looked at the screen with a surprise. Though she was prepared to say her lines if there was a response, no words came out.

"Hello," the person repeated.

Wen Mei finally gathered the courage to speak.

"W-Wang Yu Yan," said Wen Mei with little shutter.

"Miss Wen," said the person on the other line.

"Yan Yan ah how many times I have told you to speak to me informally like a friend," sighed Wen Mei.

"I am sorry Wen Mei," said Wang Yu Yan with a slightly awkward laugh.

"Better. Well Um I wanted to ask you are free tomorrow evening," said Wen Mei with her heart beating fast.

"Um let me check," said Wang Yu Yan, accompanied by silence.

'Please Please let her schedule be free' prayed Wen Mei in her mind.

"Yes I am free but can I ask why?" asked Wang Yu Yan. Wen Mei jumped inwardly due to happiness.

"I wanted to treat you to a meal," said Wen Mei in a single breath.

"I don't understand what are you trying to say," said Wang Yu Yan.

"I want to treat you to a meal um so will you come?" said Wen Mei with a hint of impatience in her voice.

"Um okay," said Wang Yu Yan. Wen Mei was stupefied.

That's it.

Like this.

So easy.

She agreed. That's it.

She said yes without thinking.

"Hello Miss Wen? I mean Wen Mei," shuttered Wang Yu Yan.

"Oh yes hello okay then I will send you the time and place," said Wen Mei while Hanging up.

Yes, I did it. See it was a piece of cake.

Well done, Wen Mei.

You are a pro in inviting people for a meal.

....

In Divine Care hospital

Wang Yu Yan was as always in the hospital Library.

Divine Care had an area where a staff member could live. It was an attic on the last floor of the hospital. 

Wang Yu Yan got it with the help of Manager Wu.

The attic was not so big. It had a single bed, an old cupboard, a study table, and a small room in which Wang Yu Yan made her kitchen.

Wang Yu Yan had taken a shower and opened the door of her room when she saw her phone on her bed ringing.

She hurried to pick up the phone. The Caller ID was unknown.

Its been a while since I have received a call from an unknown number. Let's see who it is.

"Hello," she said. When the person on the other line called her name, she understood who was it.

"Miss Wen," she asked to inquire.

And yes it was her. She wondered why Wen Mei was asking for her schedule.

And the last thing she knew was that she answered in Yes before the call was ended.

" Oh! a meal. Its been a while since I have been invited for a meal," Wang Yu Yan said to herself.

She then took a look at her phone book. She sighed.

Her phone book only had the numbers of Doctors and the other members of the hospital.

In these, she couldn't call anyone her friend.

It was also because she seldom talked to someone.

She then placed her phone on the table and laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling.

'I miss you father. I miss you mother. What should I do?' Thinking this, she closed her eyes.

After a while, the only light breath can be heard in the entire room.

In the other room of the same hotel

"Sir the text you were referring to was sent by some named Wang Yu Yan, the one you wanted me to look into her connection with Wang Family," said the person on the phone.

A light smirk was on Cao Guang's face.

He was staring at the moving vehicles and small lights of the building from the French Window.

The moonlight from the other smaller window shined on the side profile of Cao Guang's face making him appear more charming.

"What about it?" asked Cao Guang

"There is no information about it. I tried my best to search but I failed. Sorry boss" said the person on the other side of the phone.

"Okay. But keep finding," said Cao Guang while he disconnected the call.

Making a call to another person, he said, "I think you need to check into someone."

After a short pause, he continued, "Okay bye."

The call when was ended, he sighed and turned the lights of room off.
