Kapitel 28: Chapter 28: A Gift

Li Xia entered her apartment. Placing the key and her bag on the table. She opened the gift bag excitedly and started rummaging through it. Once the wrapping paper was taken away, her eyes lit up.

Inside the gift bag was a Light blue satin knee-length and backless gown. There were pearls attached at the neckline and backless. And a bow was tied around the waist area.

"This is so beautiful!" She exclaimed while twirling the gown around with her fingers. And hugging the dress close to her chest.

"I can't wait to wear this tomorrow," Li Xia said excitedly. She then proceeded toward her bedroom. Where she hung the dress on the hanger. Placing her dress on the hanger neatly. Li Xia proceeded toward the bathroom.

She took a shower and dried her hair using the towel. Then put her pajamas on. Brushing her teeth and placing a sheet mask on her face. She exited the bathroom. She walked out of her bedroom and headed straight toward her balcony. Li Xia sat on the hanging egg-like swing and enjoyed the beautiful view of the city's nightlife.

Li Xia took a picture of the beautiful sky filled with little twinkling stars. With the shutter sound, the photo was uploaded on Weibo. Where she wrote a caption with it.

It says: "I throw wishes into the night

And wait for the stars to catch them."

Placing the phone on her lap she closed her eyes and let the sheet mask absorb in her skin. The wind blew against her bare arms and legs causing goosebumps to appear.

Her deep concentration was interrupted by a phone call. It was Xiao Xian.

"Hello," Li Xia answered the phone while pressing the sheet mask on her face.

"Have you received the invitation to the anniversary event conducted by C.L Group?" Xiao Xian asked over the phone.

"Yeah, I received it yesterday," Li Xia responded while looking at the sky above her.

"That's good. Be prepared, there will be many CEOS of famous cosmetic brands, fashion brands, actresses, actors, and bloggers that will be attending this event," Xian Xiao said over the phone. Xiao Xian paused for a few seconds before replying again. "You don't know many of them. For this, I have sent you detailed information about their profiles."

"You must be kidding with me," Li Xia responded with a chuckle.

"Have a good night," Xiao Xian said before ending the call and cutting her connection.

She couldn't believe what she heard until she received a notification. Looking at her phone screen, she saw a file containing detailed information about the guests at the event. She stared at the screen in disbelief.

She thought that after a tiring weekend, she will get some sleep. But she didn't expect things would turn out this way. She sighed and removed the sheet mask from her face.

"Let's get back to work," she stood up from her swing and headed towards the bedroom. Stepping inside her bedroom, she took her laptop from the table, climbed on the bed, and opened it. Cracking her knuckle together. She opened the file about famous personalities invited to the event.

She had to memorize this information to interact with every one of them. She began scrolling through their profile. But the more she read the more she felt sleepy. The amount of energy she used during the day was enough to drain all her energy and fatigue her mind.

"This is too much for my brain, I can't remember any of these names," Li Xia murmured as her thumb repeatedly hit the mouse pad. Her eyes were starting to droop.

"Aish..." She uttered quietly and slapped her face lightly enough to wake herself up.

"What are you doing Li Xia? You're falling asleep!" She shouted at herself.

Taking a deep breath, she continued to scroll through the profile of the guests in the hope to remember their names and details.

She was going on for hours. She was still reading even though the clock struck 1:00 am. The screen was filled with hundreds of names and faces. Some of them were familiar to Li Xia, but most of them were unknown to her.

"I can't go on like this. I need caffeine to wake me up," She mumbled while tapping her index finger on her forehead.

Standing up she walked towards the kitchen to make coffee as she needed to wake her sleepy self. After making her coffee she proceeded back to her bed and plopped down on it. She held the hot cup of coffee against her lips to drink it.

Opening up her laptop once again she continued to memorize the information.

She stayed awake till 5:00 am memorizing the information. She was exhausted, tired, and drained of all her energy. She needed nothing else more than her precious sleep. Closing her laptop, and placing it back on the table beside her, she slowly fell asleep.
