"Where have you been?" He asked helplessly.Seeing the worrisome and pale expression on his face, her angers disappeared. Why does it feel like I"m the one at fault again? "What? I.. I went for a hike." She wriggled her hand out of his hold. "Why are you here?"
"I heard you disappeared, so I flew here to find you."
Puzzled, "Says who? Wait? You what?! You flew here?! How did you get here so soon?" She threw one question after another at him.
"Peng was still waiting for you." Hue Chi didn"t want to go into details how he got here so quick.
"What? I didn"t know anything about it?" Had she knew, she would not make him wait for her.
"Mm… I instructed him to escort you to the reserved room we booked for you in the city."
Yu Sha felt slightly happy, but she wanted to give him a hard time. She quickly changed her att.i.tude and arrogantly pouted, "Why?"
"Are you mad at me?"
She continued walking and ignored him as she replied to his question, "For what?"
"When I said you no longer need to come see me."
Stunned that he saw through her, she almost stumbled. He has always been able to read her like an open book, she quickened her steps trying to lose him. "I have no reasons to." Afraid the closer she is too him, the more he"ll know her heart.
Hue Chi smiles, how could he not know the behaviors of the one and only woman he comes to love time and time again. "Yu Sha…"
She ignored him.
"Yu Sha…" he called out again.
"What?"
"I"m sorry if I was not being clear earlier."
Curious to know what he was not clear about, she turns around for more, "About?"
"What I meant is, I want you to come sees me because you wanted to, not because we are bounded by a contract."
She paused as she looked at him trying to digest what he said before nodding her head signifying, she understood.
The couple continues to walk down the hiking path. The sun had already set and they"re relying on the dimmed light from the moon to lead them the way.
PengXu was back at the parking lot waiting for them. Soon he saw Yu Sha and Hue Chi walk down the stairs to the parking. He drove the car in front of the stairs. Hue Chi opened the door and allowed Yu Sha to get in before going in himself.
As soon as she sat down, she apologized. "Peng, I"m sorry. I didn"t know you were waiting. I wouldn"t take my sweet time if I had known."
PengXu didn"t know how to react to her apologies. It was partially his fault. He forgot to tell her. "Miss Yu Sha, it"s okay. It was my fault too."
"So where is the hotel I"m going to?" She heard Hue Chi said they booked a room for her.
PengXu didn"t know how to answer. Originally, it was a different hotel closer to the airport but now that his Lord is coming, maybe it could be back at Ether. He wasn"t given a report of what to do next yet.
Hue Chi replied, "Back at Ether."
"Ehh… so far from the airport."
"Well, your stuff is back there."
She realized some of her stuff was indeed back there. "Oh…"
"Who are you picking at the airport?"
"My brother."
"What"s he here for?"
"To visit me of course, and to install some securities for Harvest Shelter."
He raised his brows looking at Yu Sha, "You"re still at it?"
"Well of course, when I decided to help someone, I go all the way in. I don"t do things half-heartedly."
Hue Chi smiled silently to himself, she has always been this way and is still the same. When she decided to help someone or do something, she sees it through till the end. "SNYS has done more than what we asked for. I"ll be sure to add an extra bonus in the final payment."
The money sign instantly replaced Yu Sha"s big round eyes. She moved closer to him, "Are you for real?"
Hue Chi glances at Yu Sha who now looked like puppy drooling over a piece of steak. "Mm…"
"Really, really?" She reconfirmed excitedly.
"Mm.."
"You can"t go back on your word!"
"I won"t."
Soon, PengXu drove to the car to Ether"s entrance. Yu Sha and Hue Chi walked to the penthouse.
"This must be kept a secret from Su Na. I want it to be a surprise for her, the bonus." Yu Sha continues.
"Mm… As you wish." Hue Chi complied obediently.
