In the evening she woke up from her sleep. She saw it was 5 pm. She freshened herself up and changed the clothes. She opened the door and went downstairs and saw no one around. Elsa thought maybe Li Qiang left after his meeting with his dad. Suddenly she heard some sniffing sound of dogs. She went towards the garden and saw two beagles.
She went towards them slowly and move her hand towards their hand. She patted their head. They quickly surrounded Elsa and started playing with them. They became Elsa's friend quickly.

Mr.Rhodes said " Mr.Li you must be curious to know what it was important to know for Elsa. I know you like Elsa and she also doesn't mind with your actions. She might not like you know but she doesn't mind you to be your friend."
Li Qiang express turned into a smile and said "So you know Mr. Rhodes. I assure you, sir, I won't pressure her. And always take care of her"
Mr.Rhodes said" Mr. LiWhen Elsa was ten years old her mother died from a car accident. Elsa was not able to accept this fact that she will never see her again. That day she wanted to leave this mansion. And live alone with her memories. When she moved out she was only ten years old. Olivia her housemaid took care of her in her home. After her mother died Elsa never let anyone close to her except Anne her childhood friend and you Mr.Li. She came home back for the festival only and weekly visit those flowers. She never had any friend. She was scared to lose someone again that close to her. "And saw Li Qiang face with a sad expression.
Li Qiang never thought she might have experienced so much in childhood. He promised himself to care and love her more than anything else.
Mr.Rhodes continued "Today when she went to her she must have resynced her memories with her mother. The day she left the room was kept like that as it was 8 years back. Mr.Li why don't you join her you'll also get to know her better, I have some work to do ."
Li Qiang"As you wish Mr.Rhodes."

After 8 years his wish was complete to see her playing and laughing like old times.Mr.Rhodes and Li Qiang saw that Butler Leo was standing at the door silently watching Elsa with a big smile and some tears falling from his eyes.
Mr. Rhodes ' cough'. Butler Leo saw that his master and Mr.Li were back. He quickly greeted them.
Mr.Rhodes " Leo take Mr.Li to the gardenand then help me with some work."
Butler quickly understood that he was indicating to leave young miss Elsa and Li Qiang alone. he said "Yes master"

Butler Leo walked in front and Li Qiang walked behind enjoying the garden. Butler Leo said"Mr.Li these flowers which you are seeing are young miss favorite flower when she was here she use to come here with the mistress and take care of these flowers. After young miss left she weekly came here to take care of these flowers.
Soon they reached where Elsa was playing with the beagles.
When Elsa saw Li Qiang she didn't notice that she skipped a beat in her heart. The sun rays were coming behind from Li Qiang were adding more beauty to his handsome body. The two beagles behind Elsa quickly went towards Li Qiang.
Elsa "Hi Li QiangI thought you were gone looks like you were still there."
Li Qiang "Yeah I was. We were talking about business so it took longer."
Elsa and Li Qiang both sat on the soft ground and stared the two beagles playing with each other.
Elsa suddenly remembered her first dinner with him how it going all smooth and then everything ruined. She felt sorry about the dinner.
Elsa "Li Qiang I'm sorry about yesterday. Our plan for dinner was ruined by me."
Li Qiang " It 's fine Elsa your friend life was in danger. If I were you I would've done the same."
Elsa still felt sorry and said"Okay then let me buy dinner for you"
