The models that came to FJ Styles to get their measurements taken, were ushered in by some of the staff. Each one of them dressed up to uphold their reputation and that of their agencies.
When they were ushered into the room already prepared for them, some of the models who knew themselves talked to each other.
Fu Meixu could see that she was the only model inferior in that room. She felt unease because nobody paid any attention to her.
Shortly, the HR Manager of FJ Styles came to address them. She also told them the rules and regulations they have to abide by, during the period they would be working for FJ.
Later, some people came to get their measurements taken, for different styles of the dresses they would be wearing during the Autumn Fashion show. The models were also asked to try out some dresses, jaunt to note the styles that fit them most.
In Fu Hua's office, his assistant just reported to him that all the models selected were present in the building except Feng Alix.
"Why is she not here yet?." Fu Hua asked. He had a little frown on his face. He was very disciplined and always kept to time, so he was a bit annoyed that Feng Alix wasn't there yet.
"I have no idea, Sir." The assistant replied in a low tone. He was afraid of Fu Hua's next action because he didn't like excuses.
"How long have you been by my side? Don't you know that I don't like such replies?!." Fu Hua asked in a heavy tone as he glared at him.
"When one of the models is missing, are you not supposed to call her agency to find out what's causing the delay, or were you waiting for their call instead? Should I teach you your work?." Fu Hua asked in an angry tone.
"I'm sorry, Sir, it won't happen again." The assistant said with his head bowed and stood in the same position while waiting for further instructions.
Fu Hua calmed down before instructing him. "Find out the reason Alix is not here yet from her agency. If the reason is not suitable, tell her agency that the contract would be terminated if she didn't appear in 30 minutes. If they want me to send someone to help them read the clauses in the contract, I will do that."
"Okay, Sir." His assistant replied as he raised his head.
Seeing that he was still standing there, Fu Hua asked with a frown, "What are you still doing here?."
His assistant scratched his hair nervously, as he asked "Sir, would you like to address the models?."
Fu Hua glared at him, and he saw himself sprinting out from his office without looking back.
Fi Hua sighed and glanced back at his work.
"Alix if you're doing all of this to get my attention, then you're wrong. You should know that I don't joke when it comes to working. " Fu Hua thought to himself aloud.
After Fu Hua's assistant passed the message to Alix's agent, they immediately called her manager to know what was up at their end.
It turned out that the reason Alix didn't appear at FJ, was because she was ill, so she was currently resting at home.
"Why didn't you inform us, or FJ?!." The CEO of the agency asked the manager.
Before the scheduled date, Alix told her manager that she would go to FJ alone, that she did not need to come with her. Her manager already knew she had a special relationship with Fu Hua, so she didn't reject her arrangement. Only when it was close to the time to appear at FJ, did the manager call to remind her, but she never answered her calls, so she had no choice but to go to her house to look for her.
Getting into her house she didn't see anybody in the living area, so she went into her bedroom in search of her, only to see her lying on her bed all curled up.
And because it was so sudden, her manager forgot to call to inform the agency and FJ.
Feng Alix has two managers, her mother, and the current one by her side. But since her mother was promoted, the current one has always been by her side.
"You know need to go to the hospital. The agency just called now to shout at me." Her manager said to her.
"Pass the inhaler to me." Feng Alix said as she stretched out her thin arm from the duvet.
Her manager who has been in her bedroom for the past 15 minutes, sighed as she passed the Inhaler to her.
"You can't continue to stay here like this, I will book an appointment with the doctor." Her manager said to her while she made use of her inhaler.
When Fu Hua got the news from his Assistant, he blinked his eyes for a second before asking him to leave.
He was wondering if that was a drama played out by Alix to get his attention.
"Well, I will call her later, I'm in the middle of work." Fu Hua said to himself as he turned over to another page of the document he was reading.
After having their measurements taken, the staff of FJ, served some refreshments to the twenty models in the room, before sending them off.
Fu Meixu didn't cause any trouble, and no model dared to cause any trouble, or they would be immediately disqualified and replaced.
In the van, Fu Meixu glanced at the A-list actress sitting at her side. The actress coughed, and Fu Meixu picked up a bottle of water before passing it to her after uncapping it.
The actress sneered as she pushed the bottle of water back to her.
"I don't need your help. Don't think that I don't what is going on in your mind. You're trying to fawn over me for some benefits."
Fu Meixu looked wrong and tried to say something to defend herself, but the actress caught her words off.
"Don't even try to say that I misunderstood you. You're not even a fan, because you have never shown that side even though we work for the same agency. I am already sick of the fact that I had to share the same space with you, and now, you're trying to get close to me? Piss off!."
"Don't even try to say that I misunderstood you. You're not even a fan, because you have never shown that side even though we work for the same agency. I am already sick of the fact that I had to share the same space with you, and now, you're trying to get close to me? Piss off!."
Coincidentally, the van arrived at their agency, so the actress directly for down from the car with the help of her assistance, after saying her piece.
Even though what she said was true, but Fu Meixu couldn't help being humiliated. At home, she was humiliated, and outside, she kept getting humiliated.
Now only she and the driver were left in the van. She was a newcomer, and so didn't have an assistant to follow her around.
Fu Meixu was so angry that her knuckles turned white because of the twisting. Her face also couldn't hide her anger. She felt like crying, but she tried her best to bury her emotions deep down her heart.
The driver heard everything and understood Fu Meixu's predicament, but none of these concerned him.
"Are you not getting off?." He tried to ask in a gentle tone. He didn't want to scare her off. Although he was newly employed and did not know who Fu Meixu was, he still pitied her.
Fu Meixu came back to her senses after the driver called out to her. She relaxed her knuckles before smiling in apology, then she stepped out of the car and walked into the building.
"Zhi Ruo, you dare to humiliate and embarrass me because I am beneath you? You belittle me so much, but don't worry, enjoy the dame while it lasts, because I will make sure to bring you down at the peak of your career, just you wait!." Fu Meixu swore.
When Fu Hua finished from work, he directly drove to his girlfriend's house without calling.
He knows the password to her door, so getting in was not a problem. After keying in the password, the door made a ding and click sound, so he pushed it open and walked in like it was his home.
Walking into the tidy living room, Fu Hua could perceive the smell of porridge. A slight frown appeared on his face as he began to think about a lot of things.
As he was changing his shoes he saw an unfamiliar female shoe, and the frown on her face went deeper.
"Is someone here with her?." He asked himself as he proceeded to change into the slippers there, and walk into the living room, and there he saw a bowl of piping hot porridge, releasing hot steam.
"Looks like someone is here with her." Fu Hua concluded.
Since their relationship wasn't public, Fu Hua would have left, but he directly walked into the house. And that is because he wasn't scared of anyone.
Just as he took his gaze easy from the porridge, he heard slow movements from the hallway, so he glanced towards that direction and waited patiently for the people to appear.
Feng Alix's manager came to her bedroom to call her out after preparing a bowl of porridge for her. And as they came out from the bedroom, they saw a tall handsome figure staring at them.
Both of them were surprised, but the manager was more shocked. Although she knew the person under her had some relationships with the person standing before her, she was still shocked to see him in her house.
"Mr. Fu!." The manager called out in surprise before bowing slightly in greeting, while still holding unto the slightly shivering Feng Alix.
Fu Hua nodded in acknowledgment to the greetings. Then he put down the things in his hands before walking towards them.
"How are you?." He asked as he took Alix Feng's hands and supported her to the couch.
"I'm fine." Alix Feng managed to reply in a raspy voice.
Although Alix Feng was putting on a sweater, Fu Hua could still her hot her body was, so he asked with a frown.
"Has she gone to the hospital?."
The manager became cowardly in Fu Hua's presence.
"She refused to go, and she was too weak to leave the house, so I had to make some porridge for her, so she could eat and gain strength to move about."
Fu Hua glanced between the manager and his girlfriend before sighing helplessly.
"Alix you're sick and you need to see the doctor get better. By the way, his did you get a fever?." Fu Hua asked with the sick woman in his arms.
At this point, Alix Feng Looked pitiful and fragile. Her lips were chapped, and her looks were dull. Anyone that saw her current state will believe she was pitiful and would want to protect her.
Secured in Fu Hua's embrace, Alix Feng felt her heart warm up.
"I slept with the AC on, I forgot to turn it off." Alix Feng replied in a soft tone. Her voice also carried a tinge of weakness in it.
"How can you be so careless. Autumn is coming and you need to be careful with your health since you get cold easily. Make sure you wear protective clothing all the time." Fu Hua berated her in a gentle tone, and she nodded obediently.
Then turning to her assistant who was still standing by the side, he said to her, "Bring the porridge and feed her while it's still hot."
"Are you going somewhere?." Alix Feng asked somewhat afraid as she looked up at him.
"Relax I'm not going anywhere. Even though I can't leave, it won't be now. I just want to go out to make a call. I want the doctor to come and take a look at you." Fu Hua explained to her.
"No, please don't go. Make the call here." Alix Feng held onto his shirt while pleading with him in her most vulnerable state.
Fu Hua felt his cold heart defreeze to a certain degree.
"Okay, I won't go, I will make the call here." He promised as he took out his phone to dial a number.
After the first ring, the doctor at the other end of the phone answered the call.
