"Ahh, Sister Xue, this doesn't look like solving; instead, it is becoming more and more complicated now." Xiao Meng said, looking at the traffic jam at the front. It was turning ugly with every passing time. "I fear that because of this, we will get there late and …."
"That's okay, Xiao Meng! Don't panic too much. Traffic guards are working over there. They would solve it soon." Li Xue said, calmly scrolling through the internet feeds. It was not her phone, given her social media accounts were yet to get activated; she has borrowed it from her assistant.
Things seemed oddly silent everywhere. Though they were stirring comments were still going on her name, her instincts were warning her to wait for something else to come. Only if she could deny her instincts, but both her heart and brain were supporting it enough to make her accept it.
"Umm … though they are working, it doesn't seem to work. And it's already time to get there. What if we can't get there on time? I doubt they will use this against you." Xiao Meng panicked a little more as she quickly took a small fan near Li Xue's face to ease her sweats. Though the car had an AC, she was already losing her sense of action because of the anxiousness.
Li Xue pursed her lips, sensing the girl's nervousness. Of course, that was her first day, and her nervousness was something liable at the situation. Putting the home screen off of the phone, she handed it back. "Xiao Meng, even if they say something bad, that won't change the fact even a bit. They wouldn't be able to start the meeting without me. So in the end, even if I am late, they would have to wait for me."
Xiao Meng nodded, but still, the lines of anxiousness didn't improve on her part. The more she looked at the traffic in front, the more disappointed she felt. Li Xue also did not say much; instead, she chose to give her some time and space since some things would only be learned well if left with their own time and flow. The girl was still too young and would only learn things as she grows more in her career.
Remaining stuck in the traffic, suddenly the phone ring went off, putting the girl more at the edge. Quickly receiving the call at once, she said, "Ah, sister Xinyi. We are still stuck in a traffic jam, and I don't know what else to do. But don't worry, we will …."
Before she could complete her words, she heard the woman pausing her with her mild coughs. "Xiao Meng, don't worry. I heard about the traffic jam already and have talked with the people in Oriental Spark. Reach there as soon as possible, but … don't panic too much." Lin Xinyi informed before disconnecting the call.
"Now, are you happy enough?" Li Xue asked from the side. Her eyes were closed, but with a soft smile playing on her lips, one could easily understand that she wasn't sleeping.
"Sister Xue, did you …."
Li Xue opened her eyes and turned slightly to look at the woman before smiling. "It's okay. I can see this is your first day at work, and you want everything right. But don't worry, you would not be judged for something that is not in your control. Like this traffic jam". She said, consoling the girl.
"I will try to learn and improve," Xiao Meng said, drooping her head down with some bashfulness.
Meanwhile, at Chiboa City Hospital,
Zheng Wenting rushed towards the Emergency ward. His brows furrowed with some severity while his eyes were searching for a familiar person among the crowd.
"CEO Zheng!"
Suddenly he heard the call and turned on his heels only to find Da – Xia, standing at the corner with concern written all over her face. Quickly strutting his steps towards her, he asked, "Where is Sying? What suddenly happen?"
"Sying is inside. The doctors are checking her, but they are not informing me of anything. I don't know what more to do so I called you here. Sorry if I have disturbed you with something important but seeing Sying like this, I couldn't help but call you." Da – Xia said, fiddling her fingers while looking inside through the small circular glass source.
Zheng Wenting's face turned more severe and taut as his eye also looked inside. He could see Wen Sying's frail figure lying unconscious while the doctors were checking on her.
After some time, the ward's door was opened, and the doctor came out with a disappointed look.
"Doctor, how is she?" Zheng Wenting asked the moment the doctor closed the door behind him.
The doctor shook his head. "We can't say anything right now, Mr. Zheng. The accident was minor without any severe injuries; still, she is not getting back to consciousness. We have done some tests on her and are waiting for their results to come. Only after seeing its results, we will be able to tell what's up with her?" he said.
"Doctor, till when will she is back to consciousness?" Da – Xia suddenly asked, and the doctor again shook his head, showing his lack of information before leaving.
"CEO Zheng …" The manager turned again to say something to the man, but the moment she saw the look on his face, she cowered back in fear.
"Didn't I ask you to look after her, then how come she is in this state? What exactly happened?" He growled in a low voice but stern enough to make his full stature tremble with anger.
Seeing him like that, Da – Xia no longer knew what else she could say. Swallowing down her lump of fear down her throat, she carefully thought before saying, "CEO Zheng, I was taking care of Wen Sying. But then suddenly, after seeing the news on the internet, she didn't listen to me and rushed out saying that she has to amend the things between you and Ms. Li Xue".
"News on the internet? What news are you talking about?" Zheng Wenting asked, furrowing his brows.
"N-News about you and Ms. Li Xue," Da-Xia said, stepping a little back in fear.
