Tied Up

Lu Ye Ze, felt someone's presence in the room and turned off the shower tap. He stretched his hand out to take his towel, but as soon as he put his hand out, a fair hand grabbed him by his wrist. When he pulled his hand back, he pulled the young, lightweight girl, along with it.

The man furrowed his brows and swiftly moved to one side. The girl, was plunged towards him from his pull, but because the man had moved in the last second, she didn't fell in his embrace, but on the wet floor of the shower.

"Are you in the mood to play?" Asked the man in a grave tone, his oppressive aura made the girl shiver in fear. In her moment of courage she forgot that this man is not one you could trifle with, but it was too late now. She had dressed that way and entered after him in the shower, her motive was clear and her only option left, was to carry on with her plan.

Ele mustered her courage again and got up from the floor. She was wearing high heels and a see through lace lingerie. She smirked wickedly and answered.

"Play is for kids, I fell like..." She didn't managed to finish her sentence, as two bodyguards entered the bathroom and took her away.

Before Ele could realise what happened, she was tied up and shivering from cold, on the back seat of a car.

"Stop!! What are you doing!! Where are you taking me... do you know who I am!!" She desperately screamed.

The men at the front chuckled and replied.

"We know Miss Müller very well... I must say, you are quite lucky to still be breathing... or maybe not! Haha ha ha" Said the man and laughed harder.

Ele was shocked, why is he laughing, what is going to happen to her.

Jo waited for his reply, but he never did. She sighed, he must be busy or sad... I will not bother him anymore... Wei Wei, what happened to you... Said the girl and went back into the meeting room.

"As we all know we have quite a few Christmas parties from our clients, that we ought to attend to, so you are all divided according to your clients.

There are also the awards ceremonies that we have been nominalised to, so if you want to attend any, please write your names down on the schedule!" Announced Chris Newman, then handed the designers the schedule of attendance.

Jo looked at hers, and saw that she would be attending only one party and that one was for Knox Group. It was one of the most important and lavish parties that the company will attend to, besides the award ceremonies. Jo thought this was enough and would not participate in any other.

The second day, Pei Yaohua landed on Sturup Airport. It was colder than China, so he wrapped up his scarf tightly around himself. He took a cab and headed towards the health research institute.

Doctor Björk was waiting for him in his office.

"Mr. Pei, I offer you my sincere condolences!" Said the doctor as soon as the man stepped inside.

"Thank you!" Muttered Pei Yaohua.

"Take a seat" Gestured the man towards the chair.

Pei Yaohua sat down and asked.

"Doctor what was my son's condition?"

"Mr. Pei was suffering from Asherson's Syndrome, it is a rare condition with a short to none life expectancy.

An autoimmune disorder, where blood clots form rapidly attacking the internal organs!"

The mourning man's heart shivered at the doctors words. Both, father and son were trying to protect Ning Lingyu from any distress, when his son was actually the one who was in imminent danger.
