After breakfast and saying goodbye to her grandfather, Yu Qi and Aoi left home. Today's destination was her ryokan. From yesterday's report that she got from Su Yu Hi, her ryokan was completed in its building. The next phase, which was the interior design was in progress. Su Yu Hi invited an interior designer to design interior space. Yu Qi wanted to talk to the interior designer first and told the idea of what she wanted for her ryokan.
Su Yu Hi already waiting for her in front of the building. When he saw Yu Qi arrived, Su Yu Hi came out of his car and greeted Yu Qi.
"Good morning, Yu Qi." 
"Good morning, Brother Yu Hi."
"Woof." Aoi also greeted Su Yu Hi.
"Oh, good morning." Su Yu Hi looked down at Aoi.
"Let's enter then." Su Yu Hi said.
Inside, there were two men and one woman. Looked like they were waiting for them.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Qian, Mrs. Wong." Su Yu Hi greeted them.
"Mr. Su, we are waiting for you. This young girl here..." Mrs. Wong looked at Yu Qi.
"She is Ms. Tang. Owner of this hotel." Su Yu Hi introduced Yu Qi.
Mr. Li and Mr. Qian already knew her back then. Only Mrs. Wong the one who did not know her. 
"You are the owner?" Mrs. Wong did not believe this girl in front of her was the owner. Maybe due to her young age.
"Yeah. Is there any problem?" Yu Qi asked while smiling.
"No. I'm just surprised. You are so young." Mrs. Wong commented.
"However, I would like to keep that information for yourself." Yu Qi said.
"Alright." Mrs. Wong agreed. She did know the dangers of being rich.
 "Well, let's discuss the design without any further." Yu Qi started a serious conversation.
Mrs. Wong was the interior designer for this project. She did some research about the ryokan design before. However, she did not know the owner of the ryokan already had the knowledge about the main design of a ryokan.
Yu Qi explained what design she wanted to apply to her ryokan. In her past life, she did enjoy going to the ryokan in Japan. Due to the business, she often traveled to Japan since her real grandfather's business core mainly in Japan. 
Mrs. Wong was impressed with the idea that this young girl had. She knew what she wanted and knew how to implement it on her ryokan. No wonder Mr. Li and Mr. Qian praised this young girl. She also heard about the design of the building. The blueprint of the building came from this girl. She could not help to feel impressed with this girl.
"Okay, Ms. Tang. I will design the room with what you said to me just now. I will give a satisfying design to you, then. Even now, my brain already working on it." Mrs. Wong could not wait to implement the idea that she had in her mind onto the paper.
"Oh, that's great." Yu Qi smiled.
The meeting ended. Mrs. Wong quickly excused herself because she wanted to quickly work on her design. They did not stop her. 
Su Yu Hi asked Yu Qi where she wanted to go next. Yu Qi answered, greenhouse. Su Yu Hi sent her there and he also had some matter to do at the greenhouse. 
Yu Qi entered the greenhouse. Some of the workers greeted her when they saw her. The treatment was 100 percent changed. Yu Qi just nodded and smiled back.
Su Yu Hi wanted to meet Song Tao regarding the order of the vegetable and fruits. The shops, the factories even the famous restaurant already knew about YQ Greenhouse. They knew about the freshness of the products of the YQ Greenhouse. It also did not rotten faster.
It was because Yu Qi used the water in her space. She already changed the water last night. The greenhouse already had the security guards were patrolling around. When Yu Qi want to enter last night, she had to state her name. When the security guards saw her face, they quickly recognized her as the owner of the greenhouse and the evidence was the puppy that followed her. They also recognized the puppy. She was telling them that she had a job to do inside. 
Yu Qi needed to disable the CCTV camera at the water tank before doing her job. With Bo Ya's help, the tanks were full where space water lake.


Revenge is the only thing she wants after knowing the truth.
However, this revenge can satisfy her? Revenge for the man and woman that betray her in her past life is not worth it.

" Wait, where am I? What's this place?" She asks.
" This is your space and I'm your guardian." A little boy answer.

With this space, she climbed higher in this life. At the same time, someone reaches her hand and said that he will help her. To protect what she needs to protect.
......
The Man: You don't want to have revenge on them?

Because she was already a student of Ziyun class, she was assigned to a detached courtyard.
This courtyard was not as luxurious as Di Fuyi's. However, it was still a detached courtyard thus she could design it by herself.
In order to provide full facilities to the students, basically the courtyard that was assigned to the students was fully equipped and it looked like a studio in the modern day. However, anyone who had their own idea would redesign their interior.
According to the rule of Tianju Hall, as long as the exterior remained the same, the student could design the interior however they wished.
After all, if there was nothing unexpected that occurred, the students had to live at least eight to nine years in the same place. Therefore the students would put effort to redesign the interior as comfortable as possible.
Basically, all the interiors were designed based on their own preferences.
For example, the courtyard of Yan Chen was simple and comfortable.
Qian Lingyu came from a wealthy family and he liked to be surrounded by luxury, thus his courtyard was renovated into a luxurious one.
Under his earnest invitation, Gu Xijiu came to his courtyard and had walked around the place. Qian Lingyu was hoping for a comment from her.
Gu Xijiu did not comment about his courtyard but his personality, "Lingyu, why do you look like the stupid son of the rich landlord?"
Qian Lingyu was speechless.
Gu Xijiu patted him on his shoulder, "Boy, you have not grown up yet but you design your house so luxuriously and sparkling. It will affect your quality of sleep and affect your body development."
Qian Lingyu seemed confused with her words. He looked at her for a while and still felt touched, "Xijiu, finally you are back to normal! Did you know that it hurt me so much during the days when you were so cool…? I thought you did not want to be friends with me anymore!"
Lan Waihu liked the warm color but she did not know how to design the courtyard, so Yan Chen had been helping her to design it. Finally, he designed a warm and youthful room for Lan Waihu. She was very content with it.
Of course, the renovation cost was very expensive and the payment had to be done by a spiritual stone. Lan Waihu was poor and Yan Chen had been broke after treating the big mussel an expensive meal. However, he did not want to let Lan Waihu live in a shabby place, so he went to borrow money from Gu Xijiu.
He thought that Gu Xijiu would take advantage of him again and asked him to sign a contract with unfair conditions. However, he did not expect that Gu Xijiu to be very generous this time. She did not ask for anything and simply gave him 2000 spiritual stones. She did not even ask for interest and still asked him to pay her back slowly because she was not in a hurry to get back the money.
She was seldom so generous. Yan Chen was still wondering why, especially when he saw her unrenovated place, which still looked shabby. He thought that Gu Xijiu did not know how to design so he kindly offered, "Do you need my help to design your place for you? Before I entered Tianju Hall I have learned about interior design from an expert. I can help to design anything you like."
It was rare to see Yan Chen being so kind and helpful. Therefore, Gu Xijiu told him about her request, "I like the style of Yaochi Palace. I would love to have corals as trees, jade as walls, tortoiseshell as a bed, and glowing pearls as lights. Have you heard about the East China Sea Dragon Palace? Can you design something like that for me? I can give you 2000 spiritual stones to spend on it…"
Yan Chen's handsome face was stunned for a moment. The design she asked for did not cost only 2000 spiritual stones, even 20,000 spiritual stones would not be able to pay for it!
He sincerely told her, "I think it is better for you to stay in this kennel!" Then he turned and zoomed off like the wind.

Harum pagi membuat tubuh segar seketika. Aldebar tengah duduk di balkon kamarnya seraya menikmati udara pagi dengan infush terpasang di tangan kanannya. Kemarin ia sudah diperbolehkan pulang oleh dokter dengan syarat harus beristirahat total. Sebenarnya ia sedikit keberatan dengan titah sang dokter. Tapi, mau bagaimana lagi? Dokternya adalah ayah angkatnya sendiri. Bisa ngamuk kalau ia sampai tidak patuh. Alhasih ia work from home kali ini.


Andy yang sedari tadi sibuk dengan laptop dan gadget-nya di sofa di dalam kamar Aldebar, kini menghampiri sang tuan. "Tuan, Anisa sedang dalam perjalanan kemari," lapornya.


"Jangan lupa bawa graphic design interior rumah ini. Saya ingin melihatnya," ujar Aldebar dengan mata yang masih fokus menatap keluar balkon.


Andy mengangguk patuh. "Baik, tuan," ucapnya.


Anisa yang sudah seminggu di terima bekerja di King's Palace Property Group sebagai design interior baru yang di rekrut oleh Andy orang kepercayaannya. Kini ia sudah menerima beberapa tugas dari Aldebar. Perempuan itu di perintahkan untuk men-design ulang interior rumah miliknya. Aldebar sudah mulai bosan dengan design interior-nya yang itu-itu aja selama dua tahun kebelakang. Ia ingin membuat suasana rumahnya lebih berbeda yang membuatnya lebih nyaman dan tenang berada di rumah. Setelah seharian bergelut dengan pekerjaan yang menguras otak, ia membutuhkan suasana rumah yang mampu me-refrest otaknya dengan maksimal agar ia tidak stres.


Andy sempat membawa Anisa melihat-lihat rumah ini berkeliling sewaktu Aldebar tak sadarkan diri di rumah sakit selama dua hari kemarin. Perempuan itu menyetujui permintaan sang tuan dengan patuh. Ia berusaha sebaik mungkin membuat design interor yang berbeda dan unik.

***
Satu jam kemudian Anisa pun sampai di kediaman Aldebar. Kkrriinnggg dering ponsel Andy lalu pria itu mengangkatnya. "Assalamu'alaikum," ucapnya kala panggilan telepon ia angkat.


"Wa'allaikumsalam, Pak Andy, saya sudah di luar gerbang," sahut Anisa.


"Baiklah, saya akan meminta satpam membukakan pintu untukmu. Tunggu sebentar," pungkasnya lalu panggilan telepon pun ia matikan. Andy kembali men-scroll screen touch handphone-nya kemudian ia menelepon pos satpam yang menjaga pintu gerbang rumah Aldebar. "Tuan, Anisa sudah sampai di depan, saya akan keluar untuk menjemputnya," ucap Andy yang di balas anggukan oleh sang tuan. Ia pun beranjak meninggalkan ruangan itu.

***
"Assalamu'alaikum," ucap Andy kala melihat Anisa dalam jangkauannya.

"Wa'allaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," jawab Anisa seraya membalikan badannya. Ia menunggu di depan pos satpam karena belum di izinkan masuk oleh staff keamanan rumah tersebut.

"Dia karyawan baru perusahaan," ucap Andy kepada satpam penjaga gerbang.

Satpam itu mengangguk patuh lalu mengizinkan Anisa masuk

"Selamat sore Pak Andy," sapa Anisa dengan sopan sembari memanggutkan kepala.


"Selamat sore, Bu Anisa," balasnya. "Mari silakan, Bu. Tuan, sudah menunggu." Andy mempersilakan Anisa masuk.



Andy dan Anisa berjalan beriringan menelusuri rumah mewah bak istana raja.

***

Aldebar tengah duduk malas di kursi di ruang kerjanya. Ia tengah menunggu Andy dan Anisa. Ia tidak sabar ingin melihat design interior baru untuk rumahnya. 

Tok tok tok suara pintu diketuk. "Masuk," serunya.


Andy membuka pintu dan masuk bersama Anisa yang mengekor di belakangnya.


"Assalamu'alaikum," ucap Anisa kala memasuki ruangan itu.

"Wa'allaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," jawab Aldebar. "Silakan duduk," imbuhnya dengan sopan.


Anisa yang terpegan lantas tersadar lalu mengangguk seraya tersenyum ramah. Ia duduk di kursi di depan meja sang tuan di samping Andy.


"Oke, to the phoint aja, bisa saya melihat design interior-nya sekarang?" tanya Aldebar.

Anisa mengangguk lalu merogoh tasnya untuk mengambil sebuah play disk lalu menyerahkannya kepada Aldebar.

Ia memasangkan play disk itu di laptopnya lalu membuka sebuah file dan melihat design grafik untuk rumahnya. Aldebar memperhatikan dengan teliti sembari bertopang dagu.


Anisa memperhatikan wajah Aldebar dengan seksama. Menurutnya, untuk ukuran seorang bos di sebuah perusahaan properti besar, sikap bosnya ini cukup baik. Bos yang unik, pikirnya.


"Saya suka," ucapnya yang menyadarkan Anisa dari lamunan. "Jadi, kapan kamu sanggup mengerjakannya?" tanyanya.


"Syukurlah kalo bos suka," ujarnya seraya tersenyum ramah. "Untuk pengerjaannya, nanti setelah barang-barang dan perabotan yang saya butuhkan sudah saya dapatkan. Enggak akan lama kok, beri saya waktu dua bulan," tuturnya.


"Dua bulan," ulangnya seraya bertopang dagu tengah berpikir. "Oke, dua bulan. Tapi, saya mau semua barang-barang yang persis sama dengan yang di gambar."


Anisa tersenyum puas. "Siap, bos." Ia merasa senang hasil kerjanya di sukai tanpa harus ada yang di revisi.


Setelah perbincangan singkat masalah pekerjaan itu selesai, Anisa pun undur diri. Dan Aldebar kembali beristirahat di kamarnya. Ia membuka laptopnya untuk melihat file yang baru di kirim divisi perencanaan project apartement bergaya resort yang pembangunannya akan dimulai tahun depan.


Tiba-tiba ia mendapatkan email dari partner bisnisnya Mr. Dean Anderson. Email itu berisi ucapan kekecewaannya terhadap sikap Aldebar yang dia rasa kurang profesional. Dean Anderson juga membatalkan kontrak kerja sama yang ia ajukan kepada perusahaan King's Palace Property Group. "Argh, sial," seru Aldebar kesal. Ia memijat keningnya lalu menghela nafas teratur berusaha menenangkan diri. Kemudian brak... Ia melempar lampu nakas untuk melampiaskan kemarahannya. Ia kesal karena telah kehilangan kesempatan untuk bekerja sama dengan American Tower Corporation yang bernilai milyaran dollar. Sungguh nasib sial tengah menghampirinya kali ini. Sungguh sial.

***
Pikirannya sangat kacau kali ini. Ia merasa marah, kesal rasanya ingin meledak. Tiga bulan lagi Chandani akan menikah dan pembatalan pengajuan kontrak ATC secara mendadak. Ingin rasanya ia memakan orang saat ini.
Tok tok tok suara pintu diketuk. "Masuk," serunya seraya memijat kening. 

Andy pun masuk. "Tuan, ada Pak Ari, ayah dari Fahri, di luar," lapor Andy.

"Mau apa dia?" tanyanya. Ia tengah pusing, ia sungguh sedang tidak ingin diganggu atau bertemu siapa pun.

"Dia hanya mengatakan ingin bertemu Tuan," jawab Andy.


Aldebar menyandarkan punggungnya malas ke kepala ranjang sembari memijat pelipisnya berpikir sejenak. "Oke, suruh dia masuk," titahnya.


"Baik, Tuan."


***
"Tolong bantu aku, keluarkan anakku dari penjara. Aku mohon, aku janji akan membawanya pergi. Kamu enggak akan menemukan aku dan Fahri, aku akan membawanya pergi jauh," pinta Ari memohon.


"Kakek tau sendiri kejahatan yang telah anak kakek lakukan. Biarkanlah dia disana untuk beberapa tahun saja, agar dia sadar bahwa yang dia lakukan salah."


Ari terisak. "Aku sakit, aku membutuhkan Fahri berada disampingku. Hidupku mungkin takkan lama lagi," jelasnya.


Aldebar mengerutkan kening. "Sakit? Kakek sakit apa?"


"Kanker paru-paru stadium tiga," jawabnya seraya menghapus airmata mencoba tegar.


"Astagfurllahaladzim," ucapnya seraya menatap sendu pria jompo di hadapannya. Hatinya terenyuh saat mendengar kabar buruk ini. Kini ia merasa dilema, karena di sisi lain ia masih marah kepada Fahri dan di sisi lain ia merasa kasihan kepada pria jompo di hadapannya.

Now that the chat members have approved of the meeting hub, let us start the construction. First, I need to get confirmation of the meeting hub by the Chat System.
[Ding! Do you wish to make a meeting hub for the chat members to meet, drink, discuss and train?]
[Yes[ or [No]
Hmm, I was just thinking of meeting, drinking and discussing. Where did the training part come from?
[Ding! The training part is added in consideration of the chat members who wish to grow stronger and train powers and skill they will get from the mission rewards. That part will only be available when the number of chat members reached 10.]
Fair enough. What about the part that includes challenging themselves?
[Ding! If you are talking about something like the 'Tower of God' where the challenger climbs the tower while facing enemies and getting points and rewards from defeating those enemies, then yes. This will be included once the number of chat members reached 10]
Okay. I like that. [Yes]
[Ding! Please a choose a venue where the meeting hub will be constructed.]
Hmm...
How about the {Time Temple} from FGO? It is situated in a place where Space & Time does not fuck shit up here. In fact, if it is needed, the time in the {Time Temple} can be adjusted according to the owner, which is me, by the extension of Goetia. I asked Goetia about it and he gave me the okay for it. So let's go for it.
[Ding! {Time Temple} has been chosen as the venue for the ^Meeting Hub^. Please choose an interior design for the hub.]
I've already thought about the interior design for the Hub. I've watched countless animes and I've seen countless place that moved my heart from them. And there is one place that comes to mind when I think about the interior design for the hub.
And that place is.....
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The restaurant from the anime {Restaurant from Another World}. The place looks homy. The environment looks friendly. And there is a cooking area and a bar. I just put the latter for the sake of 'drinking'. Hmm, I need to get a chef to cook us some nice food. Shirou would be good. Tamamo Cat would be a good addition too. Cuz both of them are COOKS. And I mean it.
For the bar, I might need to spend some points to bring in the alcohols from my world and other worlds as well. And while I'm at it, I should make it so that there is an unlimited supplies of said alcohols. I'm fine with both of them to be honest. The points required for them would be 100,000 points. Both for the alcohol and the unlimited supply thing.
Wait, scratch the using points for the unlimited supplies. I can just use <Magic Blue> so that, when the supply for beer is at a level that nears the base of the barrel, the 5th True Magic will refill it by rewinding the time of the dwindling alcohol in the barrels and be refilled to the brim. How about that?
Yeah, I like that idea. As for the types of alcohols, I'll let the chat system choose it for me. The prize for the alcohols will be on me. I mean the initial buying of the alcohols. That also goes for other beverages, like juice, soda, coffee, tea, etc.
Oh dear, I got off track while thinking about the interior design and the beverages needed for the HUB.
[Ding! Do you wish to use the restaurant template from {Restaurant from Another World} as the interior design for the Hub?]
[Yes] or [No]
YES I DO.
[Ding! The interior design for the Hub has been decided. Do you wish to discern on what beverages will be added or will you let the system decide?]
I'll leave it to you, System. Take the point necessary for the beverages from me.
[Ding! Acknowledged. The system will start the construction of the 'Meeting Hub' right now. The construction time will take 3 hours. The construction costs 500,000 points and the beverages of all kind will cost 100,000 points. Will the host also pay for the unlimited supplies of said beverages?]
Hmm, I can handle the costs of them. How much does the unlimited supply thing cost?
[Ding! The unlimited supply for the beverages will cost none as it will use the chat leader's 5th True Magic <Magic Blue>.]
Do it, system.
[Ding, the construction of the Hub has started. The necessary points required for the construction and the beverages has be deducted from host. It will take 3 hours. Thank you for your patronage.]
I thank you too, system. For making it easy for me to do this.

[Ding! No problem host.]
3 HOURS LATER
[Ding! The construction of the 'Meeting Hub' is completed. Would you like to see if for yourself?]
Yes, please.
After I answered the question, a bright yet subtle light surrounded me and teleported me to the 'Meeting Hub'.
When I arrived at the place and take a look at it.....
I was amazed at the choice that I made. Why? Because, the venue and the design of the Hub was more than what I expected. In fact, I'd imagine that the anime did no justice in portraying the restaurant. The restaurant or the Hub I'm in is much more breathtaking and more regal and clean. The chat members are gonna like it, I guarantee it.
There are some changes in the designs that I've chosen. For example, instead of the cooking area shown to the customers, there is a bar in front of the kitchen, where one can get any beverages of any kind. Well, most of it will be alcohol, but coffee, tea, juices and sodas are there too. Although there is no change in the designs of the dining furniture, the way their placed is different. 
(A/N: The tavern looked like this, https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Foceanpcgame.com%2Ftavern-tycoon-dragons-hangover-plaza%2F&psig=AOvVaw3OiHbNVVfwkzjdFLn2otrw&ust=1604042674035000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCJjV8eCi2ewCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAQ)
All in all, I like the design, the placement and the themes used. I take a look at the bar and as the system said, all types of beverages are there. Mostly alcohols, but you know the gist.
Now, all I need is to get the 2 servants that I had mentioned. Their great cooks, and I want to taste their food.
And so, I spent 50,000 each to summon both Archer Emiya and Tamamo Cat. After a brief explanation and giving them the position of chiefs, they agreed and go check the kitchen.
That night, I have a fabulous dinner that no mortal nor gods, except for the chat members, will ever taste in their lives. And I mean it.

Friday morning, after Dean arrived at work, he headed straight for David's office. Hearing movement even before he entered, Dean began, "Did you get my email last night about Mia's proposal?" 

Looking up from what he was doing, David said, "Yes, I did. Thank you for that." He was in the midst of organising his leather compendium. "I sent it to her with my numbers this morning already." 

"Ok. Are you off to the Taoyuan City Council?" Dean noticed the airport extension project files that David was packing. 

"Yes, I will be gone for the day. But call me if there is anything." 

"Sure. Have a nice trip. Please send them my regards," Dean said as he tapped on David's doorframe and practically skipped to his own office on the other side of the floor. 

---***--- 

 
 

 
 

Mia was in her office when she received David's proposal. She glanced at the email, then clicked on the file and scrolled to its pricing page. Her eyebrows raised and she smiled at the total. "Hmm, I am sure David is doing me a favour for Beverley," she thought. However, scrolling through the details, she sighed at the line item, Interior Design Services. 

Mia had always intended to work with Kai-Lin Wang on the interior. She promptly dialled David's number to discuss it with him. The phone rang for some time before he picked up. "Hi Mia, how are you? Did you get the proposal that I sent to you this morning?" Loud intermittent flapping noises distorted his voice. "Hi David, yes I did, thank you." Soon, the echoes of footsteps on hard surfaces hit her ears. "Are you in transit, David? I can't hear you very well." 

"Yes, sorry, I'm in a car park right now and I need to be in Taoyuan today. If at all possible, could you give Dean a call instead? He's in the office and will be able to talk you through it. Do you have his number?" 

Mia frowned and replied, "I don't. Could you text it to me?" 

"Yes, I will do that as soon as I can." 

Ping. Mia dialled the number as soon as she received it. After a short wait, a familiar deep voice responded with suspicion, "Hello?" 

"Hi Dean, this is Mia Chou." Suddenly, Mia became conscious of how sounded. 

"Oh hi, Mia. How are you?" Dean answered, pleasantly surprised by her call. 

Impatient to rectify the proposal, Mia requested, "Dean, can I talk to you about my proposal?" Dean snickered at her directness. "Yes of course. Let me open it in front of me. Got it. How can I help?" 

Mia pressed her lips together at the sound of his snicker. "Well, I am going to use my interior designer, so I won't need any interior design services from you." 

"I see..." Hailed by the industry as its architectural prodigy, Mia's resolve felt like a slap on Dean's face. He attempted to reason away her behaviour that women in her position are expected to be direct. But he could not help himself and demanded, "Who will be your interior designer?" Then equally brutal, "My name will be on that building so I need to protect my reputation." 

The heat rose to Mia's temples at Dean's tone of voice. However, her own voice did not betray her, "Not sure if you have heard of him, but it's Kai-Lin Wang." 

"I have heard of him..." Dean grimaced. Although well-regarding in the industry, he looked down on Kai Lin's conventional designs. Feeling an overpowering sense of competition, Dean tried to win Mia over. "How about this. I will reword the services as optional as I still want to show you my team's interior design concept. That way can compare it with Kai-Lin's." 

Mia did not answer immediately. She contemplated in silence, processing what Dean suggested. For the last four years, she had only Kai-Lin's designs as a reference. This was an opportunity to assess them against another capable and creative team. Her heart began to glow at the thought of new possibilities for her dream flagship store. 

The unexpected silence from Mia was unbearable for Dean. "Mia? Are you still there?" 

Always conscious of her budget, she reacted, "Yes. I'm here. I'm ok with that. As long as I don't have to pay extra for the design." At this, Dean snickered again, "No no. It's free." Turning crimson, Mia regretted her words straight away. Nonetheless, she persisted, "When do you think you can update the proposal and start the negotiations for the property? Or is it something that I need to talk to David about?" 

Dean's jaw tightened as he clenched and unclenched his free hand. "I can do that now and send it back to you in an hour." Remembering protocol, he added, "After we have your signature against the proposal. Perhaps you can send it signed back to me via email." 

"Yes, I can do that." 

Satisfied, Mia's voice softened, "Thank you so much, Dean." 

At the sudden sound of Mia pronouncing his name in her silky voice, Dean became putty. He replied in a similar gentle tone, "Not a problem, Mia. I look forward to working with you." 

"Me too," Mia continued in the voice that made Dean warm inside. "Thank you. I will be in touch." 

"Yes, no problems, Mia." Captivated, Dean wanted to say her name again and again. 

After they exchanged goodbyes, a wide grin spread across his face as he glanced at the name on his screen. Mia Chou. He was elated that he will soon be able to see her and hear her voice regularly for months to come. 

---***--- 

After her phone conversation, Dean kept popping into Mia's mind. She physically shook her head a few times to clear Dean's handsome smiling face. To be sure, she even slapped her own cheeks a few times to the surprise of her team sitting closest to her office. "She must be overworked..." Some of them thought to themselves shaking their heads as they watched and vowed to buy her some chicken essence for her birthday present. 

Luckily, Mia had her dinner with Beverley that evening. Perhaps she could ask her, "I have a friend who's met a very handsome caucasian guy that she is working with. She is totally into Asian guys but this one really caught her attention..." Mia shook her head profusely again, "No. No. Beverley will know who I'm talking about straight away. Maybe I can ask her indirectly, like talk about David..." She thought as she hatched a plan to get Beverley's advice. Fortunately, the afternoon was taken up with the forthcoming international collection's design and selection, pushing Dean from her mind.

Mia Chou, an lifestyle concept store entrepreneur, finally found the dream location for her flagship store on Fujin Street in Songshan District of Taipei. Squeal!

"Nah, I like this design more," Xiao Ni said. Her manicured nail knocking one of the papers on the desk. The design interior pulls the paper and gives his insight into the design. 
Xiao Ni listens well to the design interior while checking on other designs. The meeting goes until 4 P.M and Xiao Ni just realized she just spends more than 4 hours when Wang Kai arrived home. 
"I'm back," He said, independently hang his coat and walk to the living room, where Xiao Ni paper on both of her hands. 
"Right of left?" She asked, raising her eyebrow as Wang Kai kissed the top of her hair. She blushed and try to hide it by urging him to choose. 
"Oh, How rude," She gave an apologetic smile to the design interior. 
"This is Mr.Zhang Wei," she introduces the promising young man.
Zhang Wei has a polite smile as he pulls out his arm for handshakes. "Zhang Wei, I'm an architect and design interior," he said with a business tone.
Wang Kai has observed this man the moment he come back. There is no interest in his eyes for his wife. He was deeply satisfied and received well his handshakes.
"Wang Kai, thank you for helping my wife," he said before looking back at Xiao Ni again. Xiao Ni keeps holding the paper in her left and right hand. 
Wang Kai's eyes rest on the paper. After a second of thought, he asks, "Why don't you go with Baroque Revival architecture? I thought you like that the most?"
Xiao Ni gasp. She did not expect him to know that, and more importantly, "You suggest me to build caste style building in the middle of Capital City, by three months?" 
Wang Kai shows a cheeky smile as he shrugs his shoulder. "Why not?" 
"Because I think we could allocate money for other important things." Xiao Ni said wisely, tempting Wang Kai to ruffled her hair and kiss her plumpy cherry lips. 
"Then, go modern. We can save lots of money on furnishing with smart design." Wang Kai suggests and takes modern architecture paper. Xiao Ni glanced at the industrial style on her hand, starts to hesitating. 
"You think so...?" She mumbles while looking at a piece of paper in her hand. The design interior knows what Xiao Ni wanted, and Wang Kai chooses the other design that might make his client sad. 
Zhang Wei was just about to suggest a mix of them when Wang Kai put down his paper and said, "You like the industrial one, right?"
Xiao Ni looked up to see his tall husband, grinning when their eyes meet. 
"Yes. But your idea makes sense." Xiao Ni pouted. 
The design interior opens her mouth to chime in, but Wang Kai cut her off once again. "I'm sure we can mix them, can you Mr.Zhang?" 
Zhang Wei nodded his head excitedly. Xiao Ni proceeds to continue her meeting with Zhang Wei for another 20 minutes. Wang Kai has gone upstairs to their bedroom while she waited for food served for dinner. 
"Aunty Jia, what did you made today?" She sits on the kitchen bar.
"I made Fish soup, Sweet and sour pork, Stir-fried vegetables, and many more," she answers without turning her back. Xiao Ni's mouth is practically drooling when she smells the food. 
She just about to steal some sweet and sour pork when her phone rang. Xiao Ni peeked into the caller and puffed her cheek when she read the caller.
Senior Zhang Han.
"Hello? this is Xiao Ni speaking," she said calmly.
"Hello Xiao Ni, this is Zhang Han," He sounds nervous. "Sorry for not answering your text. My phone broke." 
Xiao Ni is well familiar with those excuses. Probably Crazy Lili got jealous and deleted her message. Which, by the way, is not a problem if she did not promise Xia Sha a hand. 
"Oh, it's okay. I only want to ask if you are interested in Xia Sha's proposal. Because last time we meet, chaos happens." She let out a flat chuckle. Recalling Zhang Han that his girlfriend (or ex) is embarrassing. 
"Absolutely. It's working for me. Do you involved in this project too?" He asked excitedly. 
"Oh, I think Xia Sha wanted me to be the spokesperson for the product. But that's all. I did not involve in production and everything."
"Oh, that sounds great." He said before the long silence. In the mid of awkwardness, Xiao Ni felt Wang Kai's presence in the dining room. He stares at her with a suspicious look. 
She suddenly remembers his speech about the self-control of her jealousy. Should she test him?
"Xiao Ni, I wanted to apologize for the last time," he said from the phone. It brings Xiao Ni to focus back on her phone call. While Wang Kai has mouthing her 'who?' every time their eyes met. 
"Oh, it's alright. Disaster always happens at every party. Understandable." She said, portraying herself as the victim who got her ears torn. 
"No, it makes me felt awful. What about this, to make it up for you and Wang Kai, why don't you come to our Zhang's family party. My father celebrating her golden anniversary with my mom." He said with a more tensed voice now. 
"Well," Xiao Ni paused to look at Wang Kai, which give her a curious face. Xiao Ni slightly tilted her head and smiles. "Sure, just send over the invitation." 
"Ah, I think we already gave you the invitation. Must be lost on the way. I'll send you via emails?" He asked. Xiao Ni quite sure Wang Kai probably had Han Li declined every invitation to party after what happened last time. 
"What invitation?" His voice rang out almost instantly after she hung up the call. Xiao Ni turns her head to the back, looking at Wang Kai that staring at her back. 
"Senior Brother Zhang Han." She replied curtly, a flash of mischievous in her eyes. Wang Kai furrowed his eyebrow, half frowning with branched mind right now. 
How should he keep her mind sane with her back teasing him like that? and why the heck she talks with Zhang Han again?
What he supposed to do, smile or frown? 
"Hm, you want to attend the golden anniversary party of the Zhang family?" Wang Kai decided to act nonchalant. He lowered his gaze, focusing on his phone, which invisible under the desk. 
"Can I?" Xiao Ni jumped out from the stool and sitting opposite of Wang Kai at the big dining table. Wang Kai is busy typing something under the desk but show a smile at her. 
"Of course, but Han Li accidentally throw it away. I thought you hate attending those boring parties?" He hides his gritting teeth behind his smile. Secretly glancing at his lit-up phone screen. 
Wang Kai: Find the invitation from the Zhang family, then burn it.
Han Li: Which one?
Wang Kai: Everything.
Han Li: Burn...?
Wang Kai: Yes, burn it.
Wang Kai: Don't let anyone find it. Especially Xiao Ni. 
(read) 
Xiao Ni holds her urge to laugh when she sees how poker-faced Wang Kai is right now. She put her elbow on the cold table, clasping her finger together before resting her chin on her intertwined finger. Staring intently at Wang Kai. 
"Can you tell Brother Han Li to find the invitation for me, please?" She blinks twice and shows her sweetest eyes smiles. 
"Brother again, huh?" Wang Kai has long given up to make Xiao Ni stop calling Han Li brother. But still, he felt irritated every time it come out from her mouth.
Wang Kai's eyes twitched. He secretly glances at his phone screen again. 
Han Li: Done
Han Li: (send a picture)
After seeing the photo evidence from Han Li, his heart is calm as the starry night. He put his phone on the table and make the same pose as Xiao Ni.
"Sure," he replied. 
Xiao Ni smirked and called out for little S. "Little S, call Han Li for me." 
"Calling Han Li, the lousy PA." Little S voice rang out through the whole penthouse. Xiao Ni gasp and shook her head with mouth mildly open. 
Wang Kai chuckled and mouth 'it suited him' while little S connected the call to Han Li. 
"Hello?" Han Li's voice vibrates in the room. 
"Brother Han, it's me!" Xiao Ni speaks. 
"Ah! Xiao Ni, what is it?" Han Li sounds cheerful from the other side. Wang Kai ears practically itching when he heard Han Li's excitable voice. 
He knew these two mischievous people are ganging up behind him. They just like to defy his words by all means. 
"Can you send me the invitation from the Zhang family?" Xiao Ni asked, staring at Wang Kai with a happy face. Wang Kai fakes a smile and returns the same amount of fake excitement. 
"Yeah Han Li, please find it as soon as possible." Wang Kai makes his voice audible for Han Li. Giving Han Li a sign (more like a threat) to say the right answer to Xiao Ni. 
"Errr... Missus, We have the regulations to sort out and throw the invitation President Wang did not want to attend every Friday. The invitations are likely thrown away right now." 
Han Li's tone completely changed from cheerful to serious and professional right now. 
"Ah, I forgot about those regulations." Wang Kai acted like a fool. Look at Xiao Ni with apologetic smiles as he lightly said, "I'm sorry." 
Xiao Ni averted her gaze to stop herself from laughing. This man, her husband, has taken pettiness to a whole new level. With one sentence, he has made Han Li changed side and help him fooling her. 
It was amusing and stressful at the same time. Just how many times she falls into his underhanded tricks. 
"To make up for that, how about a short getaway? Do you want to go to Disneyland?" He grins stupidly. 
Xiao Ni probably will roll her eyes and snapped at him to stop treating her like a child. She will grit her teeth and call him a liar if she did not have a joker card on her hand right now. 
Xiao Ni turns her head back at him, who patiently waiting for her answer. He has halfway finished his working plan for the whole week to make time with Xiao Ni. 
Who knows Xiao Ni has thrown him under the bus when she said, "Don't worry, I got the E-Invitation."

"Brother Wang please be my boyfriend!"
"No!” 
“pleaseeee.”
“No.”
“Brother, I beg you.”
“No”
“Brother you don’t love me anymore? You dote on me the most.” NiNi show her ultimate comic-sparkling-eyes moves.
“hmm.. still no.” he smile stiffly at NiNi
“Why brother don’t want to help Xiao Ni, Xiao Ni is sad. Heung heung…” 
“Whatever, I’ll just said to aunty Wang that I want to be you wife.” 

He said he don't want to be my boyfriend, but then he said

“what fake boyfriend, I don’t like fake things. Either be boyfriend or not at all.”
