บท 16: Sad Friend

Grandpa Wen smiled, "You both are fated to meet each other. I am not harming anyone but doing what should be done."

Mia frowned, "Grandpa, what do you mean by fated?"

He looked at her, "Right now stop thinking about this matter and think about your mate. Lin is a good kid. Don't break your friendship with him."

Mia looked frustrated, "But Grandpa..."

He left without any other word.

Lin was sitting on a chair close to the windows of the room. He was looking at the sky. In his hands was a picture frame.

He looked down at the frame, "Mom, I finally found someone who cares about me like you and Mi. She looks a lot like Mi and that's why I want to stay beside her more. I know Mi is dead but thinking that she is alive relieves my pain of guilt a bit. If that day I had saved her, then today I won't be like this."

He smiled, "Mia is like a bright moon in my life. The same as the one in the dark sky. From the first moment I met her, I felt like my Mi is back. How can two people look so much alike? But she is the legendary ruler of the Magical Beasts and Mi was an ordinary weak girl."

He sighed and looked at the sky, "Mom, I don't want to lose her like you and Mi. I will protect her with my life. But she is angry at me. Mom, how should I make her happy?"

There was a knock on the door of Hui Yang's room. The door opened, "Brother is everything alright."

"Sorry for disturbing you this late but I needed. advice", Lin whispered.

"Then come in", she said.

He entered her room.

"Interestingly, my intelligent brother came to me for advice", she said teasingly.

"I wanted to ask how to make a girl happy when she is sad or angry?", he asked.

Hui laughed, "Finally my brother found a girlfriend. It means soon I will be having a sister-in-law. So, who is my sister-in-law?"

"She is just a friend. Are you telling me or should I go?", he asked angrily.

She grabbed his hand, "Don't be angry. You are just an angry bird. How to make her happy depends on her personality because different people have different personalities and like things according to their personalities. How is her personality."

He began to think, "She is not extravagant. She is simple and modest. She is kind. She is ... beautiful. She is a responsible person. She is soft-hearted."

Hui stared at him, "Are you sure you are not in love with her? I was joking don't be angry again. What is her age?"

He began to think again, "Umm... I don't know correctly but she might be younger in comparison with you."

she began to think, "I think she might like something like flowers, cute things, and maybe chocolates. Many girls in our society chase wealth and then they like expensive things like the latest editions of clothes, jewelry, etc... But according to your description, she seems like an innocent one who likes cute things like kids. By the way brother who is she?"

Lin stared at her, "I can't tell. But thanks for the advice. As for you, you are among those girls of our society who loves wealth and that's why I will give you the latest edition long coat for helping me."

She got excited, "Really. That's great and indeed I love luxuries."

He chuckled, "I knew it. Now go to sleep, it's already late."

Lin went away. Ju Yang was standing at a distance and saw Lin coming out of Hui's room. She rushed to Hui's room after Lin left.

She knocked on the door and then slowly opened it.

"Hui dear, are you awake?" she asked.

Hui was sitting on her bed, "No mom. Not yet."

She went in and sat near Hui.

"Hui dear, I wanted to ask if there is any problem with your brother Lin that he came this late to talk to you?", she asked her.

Hui smiled, "Mom don't be worried. Everything is alright, it's just that brother needed some advice."

Ju smiled, "That's great then I thought that he might be in trouble. You know that he doesn't like me as his mother but still, I am a mother after all."

Hui sat straight, "Mom, let me tell you some good news. Soon You might get a daughter-in-law."

"Are you talking about Lin?", she asked her.

Hui nodded.

She smiled, "That's great. Do you know who is she?"

Hui got into deep thought, "No but I think she must be someone of good nature according to brother Lin's description of her."

"That's great. Now you should go to sleep, it's already late", she kissed her on the forehead and went away.

When she came out of the room, she whispered to herself, "I will see how you can get married, Lin Yang."

There was a wicked smile on her face.

Mia reached early to the company. She went to her office. She took off her coat and hung it. After that, she called Mr. De to her office.

Then she began to do some file work.

In the meanwhile, Mr. De came.

"Good Morning, President Chi", he greeted her.

She nodded, "Good Morning, Mr. De."

Mr. De was holding a tablet in his hand. He began to discuss Mia's schedule.

"Madam, today you have only one meeting at eight am. The rest of the day is free because you did all the work in advance that needed to be done today. Starting from tomorrow, you are free to study for about a week or two", he told her.

"Hmm... That's great then. Mr. De, please take these files to the Design Department. Since I will be not here tomorrow so, I am going to observe the company's work today. If you told them in advance then I will send you to the African Branch", she told him.

His mouth was wide open," President, you are cruel for sending me to Africa. I am telling you that you can't find a loyal subordinate like me. "

Mia smiled, "Your acting skills deserve an Oscar award. If there was an entertainment department in the company then I would have made sure to make you a leading actor in every series."

He laughed, "President, I think I should go I have to deliver them."

Mia laughed, "That would be great."

When Mr. De opened the office door to leave Mr. Martin came with a bouquet.
