Familiar

Mo Corporation, A City

9:30 pm

Assistant Zhang Wei was standing timidly outside his boss's office room holding some important files given by other managers to show to his boss.

Managers and other workers realized that today their president's mood was not so good, so they didn't dare to report their work to their boss personally. They even had to work off time today because their reports were rejected in the morning meeting. So, they had to redo it.

That's how Assistant Zhang Wei became their scapegoat.

Knowing his boss's temper, Assistant Zhang Wei was contemplating whether he should go inside or not. He would bring his hand forward to knock on the door but withdraw his hand again not having the courage to face his boss.

At that time, "Come in", the cold voice sounded.

Assistant Zhang Wei was scared out of his wit when he heard his boss's cold voice.

Bracing himself and chanting god's name, he gently opened the door to the president's office. He showed his million-dollar smile to his boss and chanted, "President Mo"

"Reports.", Mo Shan asked without even lifting his head from the document he was reading.

"Here", Assistant Zhang Wei placed the reports in the president's desk and immediately moved few meters from the desk, afraid of his boss's wrath.

Mo Shan took the report file and began reading it and after reading it, he threw it on the desk and asked, "This is the report they prepared? Have I been too patient with them that now they dare to show me this type of report?"

Assistant Zhang was trembling all over when he heard his boss's words and hurriedly said, "Boss, I will tell them to prepare another report" and hurriedly reached out to take the report his boss had thrown.

"Also, cut off their pay for this month.", Mo Shan spoke.

"Yes, boss.", Assistant Zhang replied and went out to meet the managers and inform them about the sad news. He shook his head thinking about the expression of the workers when they will hear the news.

"Assistant Zhang, Assistant Zhang", everyone stood up when they saw Assistant Zhang walking into their department office.

"What did the president say? Is he satisfied with the report?", the head of the department hurriedly went forward and asked him.

"Here is your report.", Assistant Zhang threw the report file towards them and said, "Unsatisfied. Prepare another one by tomorrow morning. "

Everyone sighed and began to complain, "How can we prepare another one by tomorrow morning? We would be dead by then. "

"Also", Assistant Zhang continued, "No salary this month." He dropped the bomb at the last moment and left from there. He thought that the punishment was suitable for them. 'hah! You people tried to make me a scapegoat. You deserve it!', he thought in his mind and smiled.

After Assistant Zhang left their department office, some of the workers just collapsed on their seats while some began crying.

President Mo's office

After Assistant Zhang left, Mo Shan leaned back on his seat, closed his eyes, and pinched his eye temple to relieve some of his stress. He felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket so, he brought his cell phone out to check it.

He saw the message notification and realized that it was from his nephew, Mo Jiang Hui. He opened the message box and realized that it was a voice message. He played it.

"Father, when are you coming home? It's late. Have you had dinner? Mo Jiang Hui's sweet voice resounded in his silent office.

That's right! Although Mo Shan was Mo Jiang Hui's uncle, he was taught to call him father because his elder brother and sister-in-law had died when he was very small.

Hearing his nephew's sweet voice; Mo Shan stood up, picked up his coat, and began walking towards the door.

Assistant Zhang met Mo Shan on the way and called out, "President Mo."

Mo Shan replied, "Mmm, Let's return home. Also, inform everyone that their off time period is over. They can go home now."

"Yes, Boss", Assistant Zhang replied. After that, he called reception and told them to inform everyone in the office to go home now.

Everyone in the office was happy that they finally got time off and was thankful to whoever changed their President's mind.

Assistant Zhang followed Mo Shan and got on the driver's seat whereas Mo Shan sat on the back seat.

"Hurry up. Mo Jiang Hui is waiting at home.", Mo Shan told him and closed his eyes leaning on the back seat.

"Yes, Boss", replied Assistant Zhang and increased the speed of the car.

Mo Shan nearly fell asleep when 'Screech' sounded and the car suddenly stopped. He was jerked forward and opened his eyes.

"What happened?", he asked in a cool tone.

"Th... That Bo....ss", Assistant Zhang stuttered.

"What is it?", Mo Shan asked impatiently.

"Boss, I think we hit someone."

"We?"

"Sorry. I... I did boss. I think I hit someone.", Assistant Zhang replied and hurriedly got off the car to check on that someone who he thought he had hit.

Mo Shan sighed and he also got off from the car. If it was for another day, then he wouldn't have gotten off the car but that time he didn't know why, he just got the feeling as if someone was telling him to get off from the car and check the one who got hit. So, he got down from the car to check.

He saw that it was a lady and she had fainted. He approached her and crouched down to check on her. When he saw her face, he suddenly felt that the girl was so familiar.

While Assistant Zhang was trying to call the ambulance, he saw his boss crouching down and picking up the girl in a princess style. He was so shocked that he forgot that he was trying to call the ambulance. He came to sense when he saw his boss reaching next to the car.

"Boss, No need to do this. I am calling an ambulance.", He ran towards his boss and told him.

"Open the door", that was the reply he got from Mo Shan.

"Oh, okay.", he nodded his head and quickly opened the car's door for Mo Shan. He was trying to guess what his boss intended to do but couldn't guess it. So, he just sighed and after Mo Shan had settled himself and the girl in his arms on the back seat, he closed the door and went to seat in the driver's seat himself.

After getting on the seat, he suddenly didn't know what to do and where to go, so he asked Mo Shan, "Boss, where to?"

"Hospital', Mo Shan replied.

With that, Assistant Zhang drove the car to the hospital. While driving, he kept checking the rear-view mirror to look at his boss and read him. He saw that his boss was looking at the girl intently as if to find out something from her. Then, he saw his boss suddenly looking towards the rear-view mirror and glaring at him. Assistant Zhang hurriedly diverted his eyes from the mirror afraid of his boss's glare.

After glaring at Assistant Zhang, Mo Shan took his eyes back and again looked at Yun Xi lying in his arms.

"Are you really her?", he thought in his head. 'You really look like her.'

Mo Shan was debating with himself on doing something or not. Finally, his curiosity won and he slowly pulled down her dress.

Assistant Zhang accidentally saw that scene and his eyes nearly popped out. He didn't know what his boss was trying to do. 'Boss, what are you trying to do? Are you really my boss? How could my boss do this? There was no way his boss could do this.' Thousands of thoughts were flying inside his mind and he quickly raised the partition in the car lest he sees something more. He was really nervous now and gulping down his saliva.

Mo Shan's hand was trembling when she gently pulled her dress down to her shoulder. He gently turned her back and saw a birthmark that looked like some flower on her left shoulder. Then, he quickly pulled her dress up and fixed it as it was before.

His eyes widened, 'You really are her', he thought.
