Sandy at work
To his disappointment, he took his wallet and keys. "I'm going out. I will start working tomorrow so I will not have much free time. You cannot come here anytime you want." He said seriously at the woman.
"William! I am your fiance! How can you be like this?" the woman scoffed.
"Close the door when you leave. Don't forget my warning. Dar.ling." He banged the door and left.
He walked around the neighborhood to ease his anger.
Claudia was left fuming in rage. Although they were engaged, it seemed like he did not still belong to her. She left his unit in anger.

Yuyu was able to sort out her chemicals and notes. However, the journal she's looking for is not yet in the pile of things she has sorted. Earlier, she took two boxes where she put those that she can take, and those that she needs to throw. She felt her breasts getting heavier and decided to take a break.
She went to the kitchen to extract some breast milk. After a few minutes, she was able to make three bags. She sealed them and wrote the date and hours she took before she looked for a container to keep them and put them in the freezer. See arranged it the way they are at home, earliest date is the first to be given to the children. Although the kids are not here, she can send it later to other mothers like Assistant Xu's wife or the baby of her previous swimming instructor.

Ming YaoFeng called for Assistant Xu to clean up the office. He went to the resting room and took a bath to clear his mind. If she asked for the password from Assistant Xu, it means she will come over anytime. He decided to stay in the office overnight.
When he finished taking a bath, he called the internal line. "Everyone can knock off at exactly five o'clock."
All the secretaries including Assistant Xu were very happy. Assistant Xu however cannot share that this piece of blessing is because the boss knew Yuyu is back. He can only contain it to himself and look forward to going home to his family.
---
It was already six and no movement yet from her husband. Yuyu already finished checking the whole room and she was not able to find what she's looking for. Now she is sure that she left it in the lab.
She sent a message to Assistant Xu.
'What time will my husband knock off from work?'
Assistant Xu was at home and would like to throw away his phone. Why did the young madam need to contact him instead of her husband? He knew that his boss was also waiting for his response.
"I left boss at the office." He wisely started. "I don't know what time he will go home. You can call him at this number." He typed the boss' cell phone number although he knew that she knew those numbers by heart.
Ming YaoFeng read the exchange of conversation through the old phone he took from his assistant. This is the only conversation he's interested in when he confiscated his phone more than a year ago.
There was no more reply after that and Ming YaoFeng decided to sleep in the office.

Yuyu was thinking of going back to the Whites. However, something came to her mind after reading Assistant Xu's reply.
She rushed to the study and opened his laptop, luckily, the password is the same. 'tsk tsk, hubby, how can you be so careless, I can steal money from you!' She thought. She typed some code and got connected to the company's CCTV. Her husband is still at the office, he's in pajamas, so it means, he's planning to sleep there!
An idea popped in the mind and she took some bedding. He reclined his chair and decided to camp in the study.
She sends a message to nana Luo asking if it's convenient to call. When she replied okay, she set up her previous computer to connect to the house monitor where she can view the children. She instructed nana Luo to press some buttons in the TV remote and soon, they were all viewing at the same time. It was lunch time in London and the children were playing. She felt satisfied looking at them.
Once the company gets stable again, Yuyu promised herself, she will bring the kids to a holiday.
She was drowsing off to sleep watching the person on the screen. He lost some weight but he's still as handsome as before. She felt sad for him as he focused on working on his laptop even during this time. Yuyu only woke up when she felt her breast getting heavy again. She sleepily went down to extract milk and she was only able to produce two bags. She hasn't eaten yet and the long flight has made her body so tired. She lazily stocked the milk in the freezer after labeling them and she hid all the stuff in the nearest drawer. She just wanted to sleep tonight.

It was late in the evening when William returned. He was relieved to see that the lights are off in his house, meaning he can be alone again.
He can't imagine how he ended up with Claudia. They grew up together and she's the last person in the world he would ever want to be associated with. That's one of the reasons why he left the business industry and focused on medicine. He does not want to deal with business and prefers to do something good for others.
William prepared for his work the next day and went to sleep.
On the other side of the wall, Sandy tossed and turned. Why can't she sleep? Was it because of what she saw earlier? So what if they were together? Aren't they over already? She never knew what time she fell asleep, all she knew was it's already eight in the morning and she cannot be late!
She arrived in the hospital before nine in the morning. Since her teacher doctor Bellamy resigned last week, today they will have a new replacement for him.
Everyone was working as usual when she glimpsed on the crowded room. It was previously her teacher's office but now, a new person will take over it. Some nurses and doctors came out and got back to their positions after the introduction. The hospital director looked out and their eyes met.
"Sandy!" called the plum woman. She's one of the oldest and friendliest of all since the day she transferred.
"Director!" she greeted and walked slowly to her.
"Come over. I will introduce you to our new in house doctor. He'll be replacing your teacher so you better work together. He's still looking for a partner, but I would highly suggest that the two of you get together since doctor Bellamy replaced him." The two of them exchange polite smiles as the director pulls her towards the room.
Her smile slowly faded as she met the eyes of the new comer. "William, this is Sandy, she's one of the best physicians I can recommend as you select a member of your team."
"Sandy, this is doctor William Emerson, general surgeon, team lead. Since you don't belong to any team, he may take you in if he wanted to, okay?" the director firmly reminded her.
She awkwardly smiled at the director.
William extended his hand and Sandy pursed her lips in anger. She extended her hand and shook his hands formally when a nurse called the director.
"I'll leave first. Call me if there's anything."
The director swiftly moved and Sandy was left looking at the leaving director.
She was about to turn when a firm hand pressed hers. She tried to pull away from him but she cannot shake him off. "Dr. Emerson, please let go." He was looking at her intently not planning to let go.
She pulled away as hard as she could and pushed him further. When he let go, she took the chance to get back to her office.
Sandy felt like something was wrong with that person but she was more angry as he cannot separate personal and work matters.

Yuyu was able to sleep when she was sure her husband was sleeping. She no longer needed to stay at the study and rest well at their bed. How she missed this bed. She hugged his pillow to sleep and only woke up at dawn to extract milk again.
She slept for another two hours and made breakfast out of anything she could find. After eating, she checked the CCTV and saw that her husband is now dressed and working at the office. She sighed and got ready. If today, she can sneak to the lab and find what she needs, then she can go back to London on the soonest flight.
Yuyu was disturbed by a special notification. Her brother is making a follow-up. She sent a quick message. 'I'm making money to support you, please wait. Continue with work. Use our personal money. I can return it'. She was very sure about this. The two of them have been saving emergency money. Night has plans to get married and she has twins. When they were in the heights of their tandem, in just a few months they were able to save money. Night only needed her go signal if they could touch it and she was very sure of this, so all should go just as planned.
She was about to go out when she noticed her car. Yes! Teeya! She was so glad, she ran back inside and took the car key where they used to put it and went to the office. She parked her car on another level where her husband will not notice the car. Then she sent a message to Assistant Xu.
'Does the boss have any meeting outside today?'
She received an immediate reply.
'Ten o'clock at the eastern Hills'
Her eyes twinkled. Eastern Hills will take forty five minutes to travel, which means they will leave soon. She will have enough time to chat with the girls and look at her lab. She waited. She can no longer connect with her laptop as it would be troublesome so bring along. Yuyu readied her bag and waited. Not too long, the familiar car passed her with Assistant Xu driving and another person at the back. Certainly her husband.
She waited a few more minutes before she sneaked into the office. The receptionist in the lobby was surprised to see her. She smiled and gestured to her to be quiet and lower her cap.
"Let me make a call first," she said.
