Feng Long Wan opened her eyes.

The loud chirping of birds outside her apartment was ringing her ears. The morning rays shine on her skin through the gap on the window. Slowly awakening, her vision cast on the familiar setting. The familiar mini bookshelves with a few worn out books and novels on it. A small narra table on the middle. Her crumpled blanket covering her body while lying on the tatami ground.

There's no doubt that this is her rented apartment!

What is going on now?!

Her last memory was when she was stabbed at her back but when she look on her wound there was nothing. Was she wrong? Was that all just a dream? A dream that felt so real. The persons she met gave her determination and will. The person she became friends in hook and in crook. The type of her acquaintances who will never look at your status to befriend you.

Somehow she misses them all.

But this must be the reality now. The reality that she didn't like to happen.

Hong Yun Lan.

How was his life after his wedding? She blank at that dire moment when she knew whom he was marrying and didn't remember anything. She doesn't even have any recollection who brought her up on her apartment.

She was determined to stay idle on this day. Sorting out things first was her top priority. She can't head outside looking like a zombie anyway.

She heard a familiar ringtone. Then looking at her side, picking her phone, "Gwen? You called?" Gwen was her coworker on the company she was working.

"Wanwan! Where are you now? The meeting is about to start. You know that this is a special day right? A lot of investors are going to our company! The president is also looking for you. You should have arrive here early"

Did they have such an important meeting? Investor? Did Yun Lan manage to get potential investors on their company again? For a married man he sure is busy. He should been having his honeymoon now together with that woman.

"Gwen please tell the president I cannot go today. I seem to cought a cold and cannot go through today"

"What! What about the presentation? You know that weve been rehearsing this for the past month. Surely you can't back down now. Come on. I don't know how to present this myself alone. Can you just pulled it through today. After the meeting you just need to get back."

Feng Long Wan's eyebrow twitch. "What do mean that presentation?" She was sure that she didn't make any rehearsal last month. She was on leave for her wedding preparation that didn't happen.

"Have you forgotten? The merging with the x country and branching outside! Seriously, you really seem sick today. But you cannot be absent. Even if you're the president's fiancée."

A strong gush of doubt bud her chest. Surely, she was known as the president's girlfriend through their circle of friends but that ended the moment he married that woman.

That business proposal she was talking about was something that happened years ago. Seriously….

What the heck!

Grabbing the phone firmly, her heart thump loud. " Gwen, tell me what day is today?"

"Huh, you don't have calendar there? "

"Come on! Tell me!"

The other party seems to flinch with her mood.

"Today is September 17, 2018"

*Thump

Her phone slid down on her left hand.

This can't be happening again. First she transmigrated to a wuxia novel. Then she came back from the past. What kind of idiotic genra is this?

"Hello? Wanwan? Are you there?"

She pick the phone on the ground and reluctantly answer. She already knows what will happen today. The more she felt not going either way. In the end she answered, " I'll be there then"

***

Feng Long Wan arrive at the company few minutes later. Gwen was the first to welcome her. She really seems fidgety and nervous today. She can't blame her. She remembers that she was also nervous on this day. That is because she was not sure what would gonna happen next.

But this time is different.

She knows what is bound to happen.

They failed to convince their prospective investors. Hong Yun Lan became angry because she made a mistake presenting their work. He directly called her to his office after work and yelled at her for many hours. After that, they didn't see each other for a few days.

Now that she think it also, that woman was one of the prospective investors of their company. She remembered that she was the one who really cooked her on their debate resulting not to convince them and backing out.

She really doesn't want to happen it again. This time, she must hold those investors neck. She needs to earn their approval.

She was not doing it for her sake eitherway. She was doing it for all the employee who had been fired by Yun Lan when they didn't get this proposal.

Lots of employess protested at that time due to the no notice employee termination.

She treid to talk to him at that time but he didn't listen to her.

Their time together has even became less to the point where they became stranger within the company. All she could see was the woman who always hang around him. He said that she was a potential investor so he needs toconvince her of their business proposal.

"Wanwan! You're here! I've been looking at you. Let's make one last rehearsal of your presentation today okay?" she heard a familiar sound that sends thousands of unexplicable emotions on her chest. Her body became stiff the moment Hong Yun Lan came to her.
