When Death Was Near

Huiyin wished that Jun Feng should stay back at home and avoid going to the meeting, he should just turn back and smile at her and say, 'It was all a joke, I am not going anywhere' and then he will laugh. But it her wish never came true, she was carrying his briefcase and he was really leaving. She couldn't understand why she was so restless that morning.

'Should I tell Jun Feng that he should stay home.' she kept thinking, no she wouldn't tell him. Jun Feng could probably call her a selfish girl.

"So I am going" He smiled. "Take care of your self and don't miss me that much" He teased.

"Yes, please be careful Jun Feng" Huiyin was at the verge of crying, she really doesn't want him to go.

"Are you crying?" Jun Feng asked in astonishment. "But I always leave for work every morning" He added.

Huiyin couldn't tell him how she was feeling, so she only smiled warmly, "No I am not. So don't forget to get the present you promised me okay?" She beamed.

Jun Feng sat inside the car, and collected the briefcase from her. "And how could I forget it"

Huiyin watched the car as it was drove out of the premises, she had to be watching the car till it eventually gets out of sight.

And so she turned back to go inside, since Jun Feng had left for work, she had to be at home all alone with the domestic staffs.

Huiyin would spend some hours watching Television before she goes inside her room, there she could play video games and read web novels in Jun Feng's laptop till she eventually fall asleep.

They were the only person living in that mansion with the domestic staffs, all the family members were in China. Except for Jun Feng Youngest sister who often comes to visit during her holidays.

Huiyin wished for kids, she wouldn't be as lonely as she was if she had little kids who play around the house, the home could be very lively with kids, and she would have someone to scold and laugh with.

Jun Feng arrived at his office, as usual his workers ran to where he stood and greeted him with respect, one of them collected his briefcase and he walked inside the industry.

The business was going good, Jun Feng had became so famous, he had a company at china and one at America, the one in china was been managed by his younger brother.

A lot of people loved his products, as a matter of fact, Jun Feng was respected within and outside the country.

While he arrived at the office, the staff kept his briefcase on top of his table, while the secretary stood near him.

She was a lady of self respect, Mei Mei never flirt with her boss, despite the fact that she was not married.

"Sir, yesterday some people from another organization brought a document that_"

"Mei Mei, I have already signed that document, I am actually going for a meeting with that same organization peoples, so I will see the CEO there and discuss with him" Jun Feng replied.

"Yes sir. So when is the meeting starting sir?" She asked politely.

Jun Feng glanced at his wrist watch, and looked up at his secretary with his mouth slightly opened. "I almost forgot it was starting by 10 am" He answered and hurriedly stood up from his seat.

He was going with the car since it was within the state and he had to leave early because of traffic jam.

"Boss" Mei Mei called softly,

Jun Feng turned and looked at her. "Yes"

"Please be careful" She said.

Jun Feng looked up at her, he couldn't understand why everyone kept on telling him the same words 'Be careful'. From what or who actually?

"Thank you, I will" He smiled and left the office walking briskly outside.

The driver at once started the car once he was seated, and they drive of.

Even the young secretary couldn't understand why she was moody that morning, she kept on praying that nothing should happen to her boss. How could she actually survive without him?. Boss had been giving her a very large amount of money as a salary. And he was taking care of her aged mother.

How many bosses were actually kind and generous as he was.

The young secretary broke into prayer that morning.

"Dear God please protect my boss" She closed her eyes.

Huiyin had finished making dinner, with the help of the servant every thing was perfect

She baked a perfect yellow cake, and had added a few roses, she wrote Jun Feng name at the top of the cake, while she wrote hers at the bottom. She knew that Jun Feng was going to love this delicious strawberry cake she had made. So she kept it at the center of the dinning table, and waiting for him patiently.

Jun Feng had earlier called and told her that he was returning home, the meeting ended quite well.

Ever since, Huiyin dropped her restlessness and became more lively.

She went in the room and remade the bed. She decorated the entire room beautifully and used some roses to write Jun Feng name on top of the bed.

Jun feng gad made something similar for her. That was the day after their wedding. Huiyin enjoyed herself pretty much that day, and now she couldn't wait for him to return home.

However, it was getting quite late and Jun Feng hasn't returned home. She tried calling his phone number but he was not answering.

The time was half past ten PM. Usually, Jun Feng should have been back two hours ago.

'Why is Jun Feng not back yet? what is keeping him? why isn't he answering my phone call? She thought. Her heart was pounding inside her chest and feared that it shouldn't jump out of her mouth.

Then decided to meet the butler.

"Sir. Ming Ze, please could you help me phone Jun Feng?, he is not taking my call and he isn't back from the meeting" She spoke in hurry.

"Sure"

But Jun Feng didn't pick the call, and she was worried the more.
