Next day, Lifen was lost in the thoughts of her dreams. Her face showed the lines of worry.
"Lifen...Help Mumma to deliver these pasteries to this particular address. It is very important for our Impresso-Expresso. It can be a beginning for the high gates of profit....", before Mother Wu can say any further, she saw Lifen wasn"t paying attention to her talks
"Lifen?...Lifen?....Are you again busy remembering your stupid dreams?", Mother Wu said in her usual angry tone but soon her eyes were filled with concern. She knew this was not a usual expression of Lifen, she must be troubled with something. She softly shaked Lifen"s shoulder with her hand and asked" Is there anything, You want your Mumma to know".
Lifen was then out of her thoughts , when she saw her mother"s concerned eyed she felt warmth around her. She doesn"t want to trouble her mother with such a petty thing as it was just a nightmare to her.
"There is nothing important Mumma....Sorry, but I didn"t listened what you have asked before".
"I was just asking you to help me with this delivery. Here is the address...go and deliver it", she handed her a big-box of pastries with a address slip stick on it and was about to say something to her but before she can say Lifen rushed forward,"Okay Mumma, I am going to change first....I will be a little late today or maybe will be having a night-stay at Daiyu"s place". She waved and left the shop.

She was wearing a blue little-fluffy hoodie with a white slim pants, her wavy brown hair was falling freely on her shoulder which was giving her a feminine but a cute look. She was riding her bicycle. She stopped at a corner of the street and took out the slip but suddenly her phone rang .
"Daiyu ...I will reach you after delivering the pastries so wait for me...I will hang up now...Bye!!
Then she took the slip again to look at the address which she hasn"t seen before. It mentioned"w.a.n.g Palace, 36 Street".
The eyes was full of nervousness again. But suddenly she got a thought in her brain, "Why am I being nervous...I am just delivering the pasteries...it"s nothing more...he is not a beast....he is not going to eat me. But why G.o.d...why am I encountering him again?".
She resumed riding the bicycle again but she was shaking from within. She didn"t know the reason but after their first meeting, he has left a strong domineering impression on her. It"s not that she is afraid of him or his temper of which the city talks about, but she was afraid of him being so close to her that she loses her mind...her mind goes blank. She has never felt in this way for anyone. And this exactly what that scares her.
Soon enough she was at the entrance of the w.a.n.g Palace. The palace was emitting an extraordinary aura. She went to the guards which were maintaining the security of the palace. "Sir, I am here to deliver pastries which have been ordered from here", she said in a polite tone.
"Young Miss, We have to ask....please wait for a minute ",the guard responded. Then after few minutes, he returned to her and said,"Miss, your entrance is approved".
She stepped forward and suddenly stopped. She walk in backward direction and turned towards the guard and asked him,"Sir, will you please help me out in delivering the package inside....I have some errand to work".
Before the guard to say anything, he got a call in his office and he refused to help her," Sorry Miss, but I can"t leave from here, we can"t off-guard the entrance...So you have to go inside on your own and deliver it".
There was no choice left for Lifen, so she advanced her steps towards the w.a.n.g Palace.
