Chapter 170 - It went all wrong again.

The whole studio was in rush. The fashion show event at Milan was already at the door knocking, making them feel the urgency around them.

Everyone were having their concluding meeting in the conference room. Since it was still in the growing phase, the employees were limited to eight to twelve in number.

"That's all about our plan. Is there any queries among my people? Feel free to raise your words and suggestions", Lifen as the leader made her words clear to her members.

She wasn't the best known among her colleagues just like that. She had always given priority to their thoughts, had always encouraged them to bring out their creativity and thinkings. The respect she received was all hard earned all by her professionalism and behaviour.

Not only here in her own studio 'Elegance', but back in Li Corporations at Country A, everyone respected her because of her dedication and kind behaviour.

When no one had any words to share, Erica came up with a smile and gave a sign to everyone. "We are satisfied with your thoughts boss. We all have only one thought in our mind at this moment and that is...", she paused and looked over everyone once again.

"Elegance is the bestest!! Elegance will win all over!! Fighting!!", everyone yelled in unison giving a sudden thrill full of enthusiasm to Lifen.

"Okay...Okay...Now quickly wind up everything rest. Due sudden change in events, our team will have to leave tomorrow afternoon", she said while giving encouraging claps to then she turned to look at Erica.

"And Erica, I need a help from you. You have to wait a little more. Please help me get the hard copy of all the documents that will be needed there. I will be waiting in my cabin". Erica nodded to her words and Lifen left the conference room putting both of her hands in her dress pants front pocket.

When she reached her cabin, the thought back from yesterday came again in her mind. She mind again went in confusion.

Did she made a hasty decision in getting in relationship with him? If not then why did she still have confusion after seeing texting him yesterday? Did she know that Deming was with her all this time in London? But her text wasn't showing that they had clearly broken off with each other?

Many question were arising in her head but she wasn't able to confirm her answers for them. She was tapping her pen on the wooden desk while thinking about these question. She was so absorbed that she didn't even notice the knock on the door.

Not getting the response from inside, Erica opened the door herself and walked to her. Seeing her boss so lost, she tried to bring her back, "Boss, theres are the papers you wanted. Everything is in this file. Kindly check this once".

"..." there wasn't any response.

"Boss?...Boss?", she called out few more times to gain her attention.

"Huh?? Oh sorry I didn't noticed you coming. Is everything done?", she asked taking the file from her hand.

Erica nodded her head, still staring at her boss.

"Why are you staring at me like that, Erica?", she asked stuffing the file in her office bag and then picking up her handbag, "Let's go. You should rest too".

"Boss, is there anything bothering you. You can share it with me. I know you consider me as a small kid but I am all grown up. I already twenty, so you can share it with me. You can only deny if you don't trust me", Erica pouted childish.

Lifen held her chuckle, seeing how childish this girl can get around her, "Aiyoo!! my girl is all grown up", she teased softly pinching her cheeks.

Erica puffed up her cheeks childishly , pretending getting angry at her.

"There isn't any serious things bothering me, girl. It's just little bit of here and there. Don't worry, if there gets something that can bother my mind then I will surely let you know. After all you are my little cute sister", she said wrapping her arms around her shoulders and then leading her out.

They both then set off from the studio. Lifen first dropped off Erica at her apartment and then sped off all the way to her apartment in Sky Arc.

She never thought the she was walking towards the pain again.

Enjoying her time with Erica, her mood got lightened up. She has already shrugged off the confusions in her mind as she got inside the elevator.

Upon reaching her floor, she quickly opened the door lock with the pass card. But reaching inside she was taken aback looking at the pair of stilettos which definitely didn't belonged to her.

Beside the stilettos was lying the familiar pair of custom made shoes.

She removed her shoes and got inside only to find the living hall empty. Since the kitchen was clearly open in across the dining hall, she knew no one was in there too. The only option left was the bedroom.

Suddenly the text back from yesterday on his phone stroke her head. "I AM MISSING YOU BROTHER MING. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. WILL BE REACHING YOU BY TOMORROW. LOVE YOU ????"

She let out a heavy breath and paced towards her bedroom shrugging off the worst she had thought.

She heaved a sigh of relief when found the bedroom empty too. She turned back to get her phone to make a call to him but her steps halted when she heard the voice coming from the washroom.

The door of the washroom wasn't closed shut. It was opened slightly. She walked towards the washroom to take a look.

When opened the door, her eyes instantly filled with tears. Her body got weak and she lost her balance. Quickly, she held the side-table that was placed attached to the adjoining wall, making the vase fall but making her body all stable and balanced.

She again repeated her mistake. She lost it again. Why did she believe him again? Why did this happen to her again? Wasn't all the pain she got earlier enough? Why again?

No...No, not this time. She won't let that happen again to her. Seeing her in pain all again. She won't let them feel the pleasure of breaking her again.

The tears in her eyes got all frozen when she made herself determined. "Scram! How dare you two? Get out and do your stuffs at your place. Get outttt", she yelled out loud.

NOT RELATED TO THE CHAPTER

Hey reader,

Sorry, wasn't able to post in last few days. My Grandfather passed away 6 days ago. You all know the special bond shared between grandparents and grandchildren. It was hard for me to get into the right state of mind to post the chapters for this story.

Apart from that, there are several rituals that get up busy. We have thirteen days ritual to bade a proper farewell to him. As his eldest granddaughter, I can't ignore that.

Hope you can understand me well. Sorry to keep you waiting all these days. It was all of a sudden. There are still 7 days left to get everything over. I will try to update every day. But if some day it didn't got posted then please try to understand my side too.

Yours Author.
