Sitting on the sofa upright, after Mi Han(the old man) left, he went into deep thoughts.
'Sigh... life is too unpredictable in just one day, just one day everything changed. What would have happened, if that incident wouldn't have happened? Will we be here?' Thinking about all the years and that one incident again, which was like a movie a painful memory kept ringing in his head every time he thinks of that moment. Regretting a little to just go with the flow at that moment when he shouldn't, and letting disasters happen. But thinking that made someone dear to him feel happy, he would always support knowing the consequences, he wouldn't leave his dear one just like that. He stood near the window for a while.

After the interview ended, ZouMi hurried and left off in her sports car. Feeling disheartened she drove off to her favourite place, the Lake. All this while, whenever she felt sad, she would come here and gather herself before going back to her home.
"Four years, it was easy to hide my identity why now? I didn't want anyone to know the President. The rumours should have been enough for the world to think how heartless I'm, but still, I have to show up. The leftover peaceful life is now all gone." ZouMi kept looking at the lake and asked, as if the calm lake would answer her.
"This is what I'm, look the beauty, oh, so gorgeous. But, no, that's what my face is, not me!" Turning her head left to right, her lips lifted upward in a bitter smile, "Look the beauty has no one, when she is alone, sad. Why does everyone have to do this to me? First, dad left me like this, at least he was by my side now? No one." Though, she was this sad not a single drop of tear left her eyes. This has been for the past four years, she didn't shed a single drop of tear. Just hate, sadness, cold no emotions, Robot, like a human.
Hugging her knees, she sat on the edge of the cliff, the clear water had her reflection in it. Time flew, but she was still in the same position staring at her reflection, a sweet melody rang her phone ringtone. Clearing her mind she answered the call, it was from her brother.
"ZuZu, where are you? You left the venue early and haven't returned yet, you're okay?" The concern filled voice of her brothers somehow helped her heart to soften a bit. Her strength was these three, who always knows what she is going through.
"I'm fine, don't worry. Just some important matter to settle, I will be back till dinner." She lied through her teeth just like that, it wasn't the first time she did this.
"Ok, take care, we will be waiting." With this he hanged up her call.
In Sid mansion, everyone knew she wasn't willing to let the world known who was the President is, but time had some other plans. The call was on speaker and everyone in the living room were concerned about her whereabouts. Listening to this Mrs. Sid and YangYang were in relief, but not her brothers, they knew she isn't alright. What can they do.
Nothing.
She wouldn't let them enter the company matters she took over the burden of family and company without any complaints nor hesitation.
All they can do is comfort her, and nothing more. This made all the three feel useless for not protecting their sister and let her face the cruel world alone.
After half an hour, ZouMi finally calmed herself down and got up but stood a little while, whenever she was here, she could feel someone is seeing her when she always ignored it thinking who would be there. But was that true?
A few minutes later, she finally drove off to her home.
A little far from the lake, a pair of eyes send her off with his gaze. 'Sigh...
