Bai Xi's Pov:

"So how was your work? How did it go? Did you missed me?" Shen hue asked me and turned the car to xing xing street. As it was past midnight , there is no traffic thankfully.

Now all I need is a bath and a long sleep to ward off the bad luck that got stuck with me. I want my good old lonely days back.

I was nodding off in my head all the things that I will do once I reached home , when the incessant buzzer beside me just wouldn't stop talking.

"Hey Bai Xi , I am talking to you , what are you thinking about?" he grumbled continuously and almost Knocked my ear off with his nonsense.

"Shut up!" I told him off as I massaged my left ear and said, "Concentrate on driving fast and stop talking."

"Hey , Bai Xi , why are you being so mean to me? I even came to pick you up , even if it is my working day and I might get dark circles for losing my beauty sleep and this is how you treat me? You are so ungrateful and mean!" He grumbled with a dramatic face.

"Did I ask you to come over to pick me up? And who the hell even told you about my train's arrival time?" I intimidated him with this question and thank God at least that shut him up.

I know it must be Bartley that big chatterbox who never thinks before saying anything. He too needs a lesson , as it seems even he has started to think that I have gone lax on him.

With that in mind I messaged him to, " Run a good fifty laps of the ground, I would ask Ling Xue to monitor it and no alcohol for two months. And If this doesn't happen than be ready to hand over your gaming console for indefinite time!!!" Alcohol is a weak spot for him and he would learn his lesson to not get bribed so easily. This should teach him that I am still there boss!!

His reply came instantly, "Boss, I am so sorry Boss!!"

"I would not do it again!" Another message came. And then a few more, but I didn't answer any of them and just messaged Ling Xue to see over Bartley's punishment.

I put my phone away after that, as it started ringing constantly but I didn't looked at it again knowing it must be that idiot trying to bargain his way out of the punishment.

I huffed and I was finally able to breathe as the chatterbox beside me shut up as well. He must have read my conversation.

I turned towards the window and looked outside at the city , as it looks quite peaceful at night , a far cry from the daytime.

My thoughts drifted back to my husband and what he is doing now? Did he already realised that it was just a crush and forgot about me or....not?

Though he might have, seeing as he is the Ceo to a big conglomerate chain and he is extremely busy. Where would he get the time to think about me.

....

We reached my apartment building and Shen hue helped me with my suitcase to the apartment door but before he could enter I kicked him out again and shut the door on his face.

Shen hue stood outside and uttered gibberish but I ignored him and went inside and after some time the whining stopped. He must knew that I wouldn't open the door for him.

I took a look around and it all looks a bit dusty seeing at it has been two weeks since I left here. Well this dusting will have to wait till tomorrow. Right now all I want to do is curl up in the bathtub and wash off the tiredness. I have been sitting in the same position for hours and my back is killing me.

After taking a long bubble bath , I crawled on my bed and hit the lights off. But even after some time , I am not able to sleep. My eyes are feeling droopy but my brain is still hyper active. And though I am trying not to think about him at all , but my thoughts keep drifting to him and after some time I got so frustrated that I just stop fighting it.

I let my thoughts run free and now all I can think about is him. Maybe if I was someone else , with a different past than maybe we could have given this a try. But knowing my burdens I don't think it's possible, because I don't think I would ever be able to get rid of it at all.

A lone tear slid out of my eye and into the pillow. Soon more followed as I cried silently into the night.

...

I woke up with a start , as I heard a buzzing sound and looked around to see my phone vibrating on the night stand. This must be the noise that woke me up.

Crawling I picked the phone with one hand and still feeling a little sleepy put the phone to my ear without looking at the caller Id.

"Good Morning young Madam this is Ying Lin , the house butler of Si Manor."

The name Si jolted me awake in no time and I sat up in the bed , trying to come in terms with the fact that someone from Si family is calling me. Which is a very scary fact indeed!

"Young Madam , are you there?"

I gulped loudly and said, "Yes, I am here". I answered with difficulty as I stopped breathing for a second.

"I am sorry to call you at this odd hour, but it is quiet urgent"

My eyes flicked to the wall clock . It read 5:35. Indeed it is odd. And urgent enough for him to call me at this hour!

And sure it is , as I felt my breath left me completely hearing his next words.

"The young Master has requested your presence in the manor."
