IT'S YOU?

Like every other day inside confinement, Yvenia would usually read her books and occasionally play games on her computer inside her room.

Ms. Nat knocks on the door.

"You may come in." Yvenia says as she continues to read the book in her hands.

Ms. Nat walks in holding a silver tray with Da-Hong Pao Tea as well as dessert, a fine slice of chocolate freshly baked cake. She places the tea and cake on Yvenia's dining table in her room.

"Thank you, you may go." Yvenia says without batting an eye on her as she continues to focus on her book. But, she did not move a inch. Noticing her still standing there, Yvenia furrowed her brows "Why are you still here?"

Used to her mistress's behaviour she calmly explains."The master wants me to inform you that he is having an important guest over today, an hour from now. He wants this corporation to go as smoothly as possible. This contract is going to be one of the most important projects there is yet for the company. Knowing how the master is, he would grab every opportunity to make this work. As you may not know the Vu Family has this son that's the same age as you. He's also in the same position as you, a genius."

Interested, Yvenia asks "How come I never heard of him?"

"That's a simple Miss, the master blocked all sorts of distractions from you as he was afraid that you won't be able to focus on your studies." she replied to her.

Unsurprised that her father would do such a thing, she simply brushed it off.

Ms. Nat continued. "And Knowing that Mr. Vu adores his son so much, your father took this opportunity and invited him over to play with you and the rest, judging by your facial expression, I can already guess you know. As expected of Miss."

Furrowing her brows even more, Yvenia held a complicated expression on her face. Very cunning of him, using children as leverage for your own personal gains she thought to herself. "Alright, I got it. You may leave now." she waves her hand in the air signaling her she can go now. Finally alone, she walks to her table, having her afternoon snack.

Yvenia sighs within her heart with this complicated request .If only he was a regular seven year old, this would be easier.

The next hour.

Yvenia as well as her father waited in the living room for the guests to arrive. Soon, they saw a father and son pair walking towards them as well as a screactary walking behind them, holding a briefcase.

"Hello. Welcome President Vu and you too little guy." Mr. Wu gave them each a handshake.

Shocked by that familiar face, Yvenia suddenly blurted out "Mark?"

Taken aback, hearing his name called out by this girl he doesn't remember meeting. Mark took two and two together and suddenly realized that it was Yvenia from the other day at the park he met. But, he still wasn't too sure. "Yvenia?"

Both adults taken aback by the sudden outburst were soon all smiley, reassuring their hearts of their difficult children getting along.

Quick in his actions Mr. Wu introduced Yvenia to his guests. "Let me introduce you to my daughter Yvenia. It seems like our children already know each other before today. What a coincidence."

Laughing light heartly "Haha! Truly what a coincidence!" Looking down at the small petite girl with long dark black hair shining in the sun, as well as her big blue diamond likes eyes, he was deeply satisfied with her already. She surely will grow up as even more of a beauty than she is now. He decided to observe her some more.

Noticing Mr. Vu staring at her, Yvenia smiles as she greets him."Hello Mr. Vu. As you already know, I'm Yvenia. Please enjoy your stay at our humble home."

Satisfied with her introduction, he nods. Well manners and modest. I like her, my son seems to like her as well. He thought for a while and finally decided that he was dead set on her being his daughter in law in the future. Noticing there was an awkward silence and his son not introducing himself yet, hitting the back of his son's head, Mark quickly introduced himself.

After introductions were over, the adults went into business and Mark followed Yvenia to her room for their little 'play date'.

Following and walking in the hallway towards Yvenias room, Mark put his hands behind his head supporting it as he walked."Hey! Yvenia! You're Yvenia from the park right?" getting a little excited as he felt like it was surely her by the minute.

Yvenia continued walking and led Mark to her room.

They sat at her dining table with snacks already prepared for them. Answering to his question earlier she smiled and said excitedly "Yeah. You're right, I'm the Yvenia you met at the park. Sorry that I've lied to you about my identity. I didn't mean to…I hope you can understand."

Not thinking much of it, Mark beamed. "Can't believe you're actually the famous Yvenia herself!" After contemplating for a while he finally made a conclusion. "But then it makes sense, you were quite an odd ball compared to other children at your age."

Puffing her cheeks "You're one to talk. You're in the same position as me. Mr. Genius."

Laughing at her reaction and response, he couldn't deny it after all it's true. "Say, remember our promise? Don't go back on it! You're my first friend now!" he said, feeling elated about the news.

Startled, she smiled. "Of course."

The two continued to chat and play around like every normal kid until nightfall.
