Chapter 115 - Lim Yi Sheng's Comfort

She was left in a daze for a few minutes, she can't help but play her conversation with Xi Chen over and over again in her head. Well, she is this type of person, it's not like she can shange that easily when she wanted to.

In this state, she actually didn't know when did she finally compose herself and when she does she immediately picked up her phone and dialed the number of her friend who is a private investigator.

Just as she thought, she won't be reconciled with this unless she learned everything, not some things but everything.

It took some time before the call was answered which made Xi Ana a little bit impatient.

"Ana, do you even know what it is here now?" the man on the other end of the line sounded like he just woke up because he had to answer a call.

Xi Ana looked at her wrist watch and mentally calculated the time difference and apparantly it  is still dawn there, "I didn't mean to disturb your sleep. I just want you to help me with something."

Considering the reaction of Xi Chen towards her leaving that year it might be that it is not only about him being hospitalize, there might still be some things that happened which he did not speak about. 

"Do you need me to investigate someone?" her friend asked, the sleepiness from his voice earlier was already replaced by a serious tone.

"Not particularly but it is rather a personal matter."

"What is it?"

"I need to know what happened to my grandfather and my younger brother 8 years ago, during the time I became a 'missing person' and the few months after that." they did consider her like that anyway so it's better to say it like that.

"Is there any specific event that you wanted to know? Perhaps, an accident or something?"

"There is no specific event but be particular of the signifant ones, you can start from the first day I was supposedly be missing because I heard that my younger brother got hospitalized that time. Also, check if there are people who approached them carrying ill-intentions during that span of time."

This is the first time she's considering this, since there is no heir from the generation after her grandfather there would be no other choice than her or Xi Chen and the fact that she m's not around, and her grandfather's guard was down because of her it is possible that they might have done something to Ci Chen who's most likely to become the heir of Xi Empire.

"Alright, I understand but why so sudden? Did something happen?"

"There is, but it's only trivial matter, I'm just making a list of the debts I have to pay."

"You've always been like this, Ana. Matters aside, I got this just give me two weeks and I'll give you the results I still have something at hand so I can't work on it all the time."

"It's fine, I'm not in a rush.Thank you and sorry for waking you up."

"It's fine now. Just treat me to a meal next time."

"Of course."

Right after the call hanged up, Hannah entered her office. "President, Im sorry to suddenly disturb youbut it's already lunch time. I've already picked up your lunch."

That's right, she still needs to go to Lim Corporation for lunch. With her mind like this she knew very well that she would only cause her ti get harm, Hannah can you drive me there?"

She looked at the facial expression of her boss and she can say that there is something wrong with it, actually even the facial expression of their Young Master Chen a while ago was also off

Is it possible that the of them actually got into a fight?

"I'll just gather up my things and we can go."

"I'll wait for you outside, president."

She's been working for Xi Ana since the year she started in Xi Corporation and she knows that Xi Ana is suspicious of her its just that she had never done anything that is worth dismissing  that's why up until now she is still working in Xi Corporation.

One of the proofs that she was not trusted is the fact that her work has been strictly company-related matters only.

It's not a secret that most of the personal ȧssistants of the rich people also does personal errands and stuffs like buying gift for their family or driving them to their date or something of the sort for their boss but she never does those things.

All the things that the president asks her to do will be about the company or has something to do with ther business, such us buying a return gift to one of their business partners or driving Xi Ana to a business meeting within the City.

If there is a time that she woud be asking her to do something  that is a little bit not related to the company it would still be just simple odd jobs and not worth mentioning.

She may be on Xi Ana's side for a long time now but she is still a stranger to the Xi Ana outside her work, and there is no doubt that she might not even be considered as a friend though she really can't blame Xi Ana because she is also keeping a lot of things from her.

Just when she about to walk back on her table she was surprised when her phone suddenly rang and upon seeing the familiar strings of number she was a more than shocked already.

She immediately answered the phone and went to a corner, faraway from the crowd to avoid her conversation being heard by the other employees.

"Hello, Hannah is it convenient to talk?" said the person on the other side of the line.

Thinking that Xi Ana might be out any moment now, it is really not convenient at all and the mere fact that he is calling while it still early is somethiny they should consider as dangerous.

"I'm sorry sir but I till have to accompany the president because she was about to out. I was asked to drive her to the place." technically, that's really how it is.

"Is she having a lunch meeting today?"

"Rather than lunch meeting, she will eat lunch with Young Master Lim."

"Oh is that so? Then just call me whenever it isconevenient. I might be coming back fo good now."

Before she became the ȧssistant of Xi Ana she was actually working for someone else and that person is the one who just called.

"Alright, sir. I will."

The call ended with no further words since the time does not allowed it to. If Xi Ana knew just who is the person she's actually working for she might not even let her explain and just directly fire her.

If that happens, she does not have any choice but to accept the consequences of her actions. 

Hannah walked back to her table to gather her things, before going to the pantry to get the meal boxes she took from the restaurant a while ago.

There are quite a lot since she was asked to get four sets of meal, Hannah just ȧssumed that there might be other people aside the two and so she didn't question anything.

When she went back holding teo plastics on her hand Xi Ana alo went out of her office.

"Let's go." its very obvious that her boss is really not in a good mood though she is not mad or something like that her mood could still easily affect the people around her.

"Yes, president." she said respectfully.

"Give me the other bag, I'm help you carry."

"It's really fine, president you don't have to do that."

"So stubborn. I already told you to give it so stop inisting." it's not good to worsen her mood right now and so she bowed her head and gave the other bag of meal boxes to Xi Ana.

They walked downstairs and Xi Ana gave her the car keys, they first loaded the meal boxes and set them carefully inside the car to avoid leakages.

After a while, Xi Ana also rode on the passenger seat of the car whixh shocked Hannah.

"Eh, president?" she wanted to ask her to sit at the back but she didn't know how to tell.

On the other hand, Xi Ana could guess already. "It's fine, I want to sit here right now.  Just be at ease and drive."

Since it doesn't seem like her boss would be changing seats she just get on the driver's seat and started driving.

The whole drive was eerily silent and what's more surprising is that the whole one hour drive Xi Ana didn't even glance at her work tablet like she usually do so, she only sat there looking at the passing scenery outside.
