chapter 7.

No answer. His face turned red as he showed how displeased he was with them. The atmosphere became quiet and no one dared to utter a single word.

The door opened a tall slim lady walked in to the room. She wore a white suit and a black heels. Her hair was neatly parked in to a pony tail style, to stop any distraction during work.

A strong aura followed her behind alerting every one of her arrival. Her smiling face changed immediately she saw the face of her boss.

"Young master Good morning" she said, with a bowed. There was no response from the boss. Lifting up her head a little to see what was going on, she discovered that the pen he was holding broke as a result of his anger. That was not a good sign.

Whenever young master Li was angry , he would destroy all the things around him. Now, that she was late to work, he was going to destroy her instead.

"A-are … Y-you just coming to W-work?" Fei Hong managed to asked. He tried his best to show that he was not afraid to talk but his voice shamed him as he stammered.

Zhi Ruo wondered if she should laugh or answer him. When ever the young master was not around, Fei Hong would order and shout at them like he was the CEO of the company. Now, he was trembling and it's felt so good watching him.

"There was a traffic jam on my way to work. It wasn't intentional sir Fei, I promised" she explained the reason for her lateness.

Fei Hong was going to believe her but she doubt if the young master would buy that. He was too clever and smart to lie to. Without questioning her , he matched the papers on the floor and left the office.

"See what you have caused?" Fei Hong shouted at her. Finally he found his voice after the young master left.

"I am very sorry sir, I didn't mean to come late" She said ruefully.

"That is none of my business. You have successfully made the young master angry. I hope you know what happens to an unserious employee ?" Fei Hong reminded her.

Sack letter. That was it. The boss was going to fire her . She wished she didn't attend that party last night. Zhi Ruo bent down and started picking the papers on the floor. She had to type them again. Also, she had to get all the signatures from the head of offices before bringing them to Li Lian's desk.

"Young master is in a terrible mood. Try not to anger him" Fei Hong advised before going out.

*Ever has it's been that love knows not it's own depth until the hour of separation.*

She woke up at the bank of the sea with a headache. The first thing she checked was her legs.

They ached when she tried standing on them. Yulan had no choice but to lay back. After few minutes, she decided to stand again, taking each step slowly.

When the people saw her they began to run. Some turned their faces to the other side and few laid curses on her.

This was just her first day on the dry land and the treatment she got from them was not as expected.

"You should all treat me like a new born baby this is my first day here" she yelled at them.

A woman who was passing by, stopped and gave her a pink coat to wear. "Why are going about naked? People may think you are mad."

Yulan did not understand what was going on. When she looked around, everyone was putting a cloth to cover his or her nakedness. Now, she understood the looks on their faces.

"Thank you I didn't know that I was naked" she told the woman. Yulan put on the nice coat and she felt different.

"Do you have an ATM card?"

Yulan wondered what the woman meant by that word. Searching through her brain for about three minutes, it was affirmed that this was the first time , she heard those words.

"I don't have an idea about what you are saying" she said, ruffling her hand through her messy hair.

The woman shook her head in pitifully. She was certain about one thing. The young beauty that stood in front of her had lost her memory and it will be better if she was handed her over to the social health workers.

"Can you remember what city this is?"

"This is a dry land" Yulan answered with confident. Her eyes traveled through the environment and she found out that no one was looking at her again. They were all minding their business.

The woman busted in to a laughter, holding tight her stomach. Yulan wondered if she sounded like a joke when she came to the human Land. Every thing was strange especially the beings that lived on it.

By the time , the woman stopped laughed she took a step forward and placed her hand on Yulan's forehead. Her smiling face changed immediately. She was shocked to feel such coldness.

Quickly, she removed her hand away. "I will call the social workers for you. Don't go any where." The woman moved to the corner and started making a call.

Of course she never planned on going any where. Yulan had just arrived and there was no one to receive nor welcome her.

Li Lian, the man that she came to look for. He must be somewhere sitting with his blue eyes taking a hot tea. That was his favorite drink when he was at her place. -the underworld.
