3 Invitation

As the party ended they both started leaving the hall and moving towards their car. On the way, Li Qiang heard the rumour of them to be husband and wife. He hurriedly took Elsa out of the hotel and didn't give her the chance to hear the rumour. He took her toward the parking lot. As they move towards the car Elsa slipped his hand through him and said: "Thank you Mr.Li for earlier".

Li Qiang who was feeling happy and said "It's okay Miss Elsa. Let me drop you at your house." making a puppy face.

Seeing his face she didn't reject him and went towards the car together.

Li Qiang gently opened the back door of the car like a prince. She was moved his small gesture.

Elsa quickly sat inside the car and suddenly she felt Li Qiang hand on her head.

And Li Qiang said " Carefully don't hurt your head"

Elsa smiled and comfortably sat inside the car while Li Qiang 's secretary opened the door from him he made him comfortable and the car moved out of the parking lot.

In the car

Elsa first spoke and broke the silence

"Mr.Li you are here for the business matter?"

"Yes, Miss Elsa indeed I'm here for the business.

"So for how many days you are here"

"Only for two days"

"Oh" She couldn't help herself feeling somewhat disappointed hearing his reply.

Sensing her disappointment Li Qiang said "Miss Elsa here take my card you can always call me if you need something. I will always be happy to help you ." he said caringly.

Hearing such caring words Elsa flushed and her face went red.

While in the front seat Secretary Kim skipped his one heart beat, he never saw his boss talking like this with a girl. And offering his number to her. He thought that the sun has probably rised from the west today.

Li Qiang didn't say anything else and prayed that his journey should never end . But deep in the heart, he knew he has to let go of her for now. As she didn't know that he loved her.

Both felt like the time was passing by quickly.

They reached Elsa 's home. She thanked him again and went out of the car.

As she moved towards the door she felt unhappy to be parted too soon.

While in the car Li Qiang turned into his usual self and said to his secretary "Find out everything about Miss Elsa and I want the details on my desk when we will go back and suppress the rumour about us ." Hearing his instruction secretary Kim nodded and started working on it.

Back in the Elsa' s House

She entered her housemaid welcomed her house and quickly changed her heels with sleepers. Elsa felt a sharp pain coming from her feet. She quickly went to her walk-in closet, changed her gown into cosy PJs and went straight to her bed. As she laid down on the bed she felt somewhat alone. Though her housemaid Olivia was like her mother. She always took care of her from her childhood. She used to live in the quarters of Rhodes mansion and only comes in the afternoon for work. But after all day long she felt alone when she was in her home. Elsa moved out from Rhodes mansion when she was ten after her mother's death.

For the first time in years, she felt safe and felt that someone cared for her when she was with Li Qiang. Thinking is her face flushed and her heart raced in speed. Elsa spoke to herself " What is happening to me? I shouldn't think stuff like this."

She kicked out her thought and went to sleep.

Next Morning

When she woke up it was already seven in the evening

.

Elsa woke up went to her washroom and took a warm water bath. She brushed her damp air dried it and went to her study table. She opened her laptop and opened the schedule for her university. Next week her classes would start. A student needed to report four days before the class starts. She booked her plane to Country A. Elsa was preparing to go University. She packed her bags well and took care of the paperwork she will be needed when she will get there

.

In the Rhodes hotel

While for next day Lu Qiang tried to concentrate on the work. He wanted to spend some time with Elsa and can't do it until he completed his work. He felt agitated with this situation because of his behaviour someone was feeling pressured. The secretary Kim in the front was watching Li Qiang expression from time to time while working on his laptop. He was thinking about what has happened in the meeting since then he is acting very strangely.

While Li Qiang found an excuse to spent some time with her. "Secretary Kim " he quickly called him with his cold voice.

"Y- Yes sir" Secretary Kim snapped out from his daydreaming. He quickly stood on his two legs and presented himself before him.

"Book a table for three people and request Mr.Rhodes and his daughter for the dinner." Hearing his order Secretary Kim walked out and started his preparation.

Li Qiang broked in a smile when his secretary walked out. He praised himself for this idea.

He thought "I think I should for wait some time before confessing her for marriage. I don't want her to feel awkward and tense when we will meet in future and I will make sure of that"

Suddenly Secretary Kim entered and said "Sir I have the table and as for Mr Rhodes I have asked his permission but he asked you to her ask her if she wants to come or not"

Hearing this Li Qiang laughed and said "Sure. I will do that. Give me the number."

While in the Mr.Rhodes office

Mr Rhodes was facing his window and was smiling as he was thinking about Li Qiang and said" That guy must have fallen for Elsa. Find everything about him and make sure to monitor him." he ordered to his secretary, he nodded and went out of the room.

Li Qiang was nervously looking on the phone. His finger was only a few centimetres away. He finally tapped after some time the call button and waited to hear her voice.

Finally, the call was accepted and Elsa spoke

"Hello"

"Hello Miss Elsa, I'm Li Qiang "

Elsa was shocked to hear his name she didn't reply for some time. Hearing no reply from Elsa. Li Qiang said, "Miss Elsa are you there".

Elsa quickly replied hearing his word

"Yes Mr.Li" Confirming that she was still on the line he further said

"Miss Elsa I want to invite you to dinner tomorrow."

Hearing what Li Qiang said Elsa thought he was aking her for a date. She didn't reply for some time as she was busy to find some excuses to avoid rejecting him with rudeness. Again hearing no response from her Li Qiang thought may she is thinking that I 'm asking her out he said

"Miss Elsa your father will also come" clearing her doubt that once. She felt relieved hearing that his father will also be coming and said

"Okay, Mr Li at what time"

Hearing that she agreed he felt a wave of joy in his heart and quickly said "At 7 pm. I will send someone to pick you up"

"Okay Mr.Li thank you" she replied and ended the call.

Elsa said to herself maybe because of the business matters he is inviting us it's normal. And started preparing to resume her packinging. On the other hand, Li Qiang felt joy and started preparing for dinner.
