Han Luo nodded and went to take a shower. After she came out, she went to the bed.

Mo Yuan was waiting for her on the bed. Seeing her inside the comforter, he pulled her closer.

Unlike before, Han Luo didn\'t act cute. She clutched his nightshirt tightly and closed her eyes.

Mo Yuan couldn\'t help but say, "Ah Luo, if you need any help, don\'t hesitate to ask me."

"All right…" she mumbled.

Although she said an affirmative reply, he couldn\'t help worrying about her.

Everything was awfully quiet.

---------

The next day, Mo Yuan woke up before Han Luo and went out for a morning walk. After he came back, he took a shower. Later, he changed his clothes and went to wake up Han Luo.

Just then, Han Sheng Ming\'s door opened and he came out. Seeing Mo Yuan opening Han Luo\'s door, he became vigilant. "Y-you! Xiao Yuan! What are you doing first thing in the morning? How can you be so perverted? Are you trying to covet my cute little sister in the morning? Is your brain only filed with dirt?"

Mo Yuan immediately closed the door upon hearing Han Sheng Ming shouting. After his friend was done questioning, he sighed. "I was going to wake up Al Luo. If she doesn\'t wake up now, she will be late for school."

"…Oh…" Han Sheng Ming still wasn\'t convinced. "Anyway, you don\'t need to go inside. I will wake her up."

He didn\'t want Mo Yuan to see Han Luo\'s cute sleepy face.

"What is the fuss about?"

Han Sheng Ming flinched and Mo Yuan turned around. Seeing Han Luo at the door, Mo Yuan asked, "When did you wake up?"

Han Luo coldly replied, "Twenty minutes ago. I just had a bath and heard a commotion. What\'s going on?" She didn\'t like loud voices in the morning, especially after waking up.

"N-nothing is going on…" Han Sheng Ming stuttered.

"Ah Ming, why are you walking so loudly?" a sleepy voice came from Han Sheng Ming\'s room. Before he could do anything, recently woke up Zheng Mian came out of Han Sheng Ming\'s room wearing nothing but his nightshirt. The top three buttons were unbuttoned. She rubbed her eyes and then yawned.

Han Sheng Ming panicked. Not only \'another man\' (Mo Yuan) saw his girlfriend in such a seductive state, but also his younger sister saw her like this. By now, Han Luo must think of her big brother as a pervert.

The moment she thought of that, he shoved Zheng Mian inside the room. "Go and sleep more, de-dea-dear… I mean Mian. You have nothing to worry about." His face already turned bright red as he called his girlfriend \'dear\' in front of his \'little\' sister!!!

Zheng Mian was a bit mad because of her boyfriend\'s attitude. She glared at him and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Han Sheng Ming slowly turned toward Han Luo and Mo Yuan. Both of them crossed their arms and looked at him silently. Their eyes were cold. Even though they said nothing, their eyes were blaming him for being so petty.

How dare you to lecture us about being apart when you sleep with your girlfriend – that\'s what they were saying.

Han Sheng Ming began to sweat. He realized that he could no longer tell them what to do.

------

During breakfast, Han Luo declared, "I\'m not going to school today. I have something to take care of."

"Are you going to the company?" Mo Yuan asked.

"Yes, I have something to do more important than studying." Han Luo already called for an emergency meeting last night when she was coming back home. She decided to go to the office and have a meeting with her team members. Since their patisserie ended up in the hospital, they needed to look for another one.

"Should I take you to the company?" Mo Yuan suggested.

Han Luo denied, "No, you will be late for school. Noah will take me."

���You two are really acting like a married couple." Han Sheng Ming mumbled, accusing their behavior.

Han Luo and Mo Yuan gave him a silent glared; telling him that he had no right to comment on the relationship.

"Ack!" Han Sheng Ming\'s tongue tied.

----------

After breakfast, Han Luo dressed up. She wore a white t-shirt with a round neck and half sleeved. Then, she wore a navy blue pencil skirt and blazer. After that, she wore a pair of navy blue pump shoes. Her short hair was hanging loosely around her neck. She wore a pair of white pearl top earrings. She looked like an office lady.

Noah sent her to the company and drove away. Han Luo directly went to the meeting room on the tenth floor.

There were already four people waiting for her.

Nancy Brown – the accountant

Johnathan Wilson – the salesman

Thomas O\'Brien – the planner

Isla Davis – the designer

The one who recently joined was twenty seven years old brown hair beauty Isla. Twenty eight years old Nancy joined the company a few months ago. Twenty nine years old Johnathan had been working here for four years now. The one who had more experience in this field than any other members was thirty years old Thomas.

When they saw Han Luo entering the room, they all stood up.

"Good morning, Miss Han." They greeted her in unison.

"Good morning all of you. Please sit down." After Han Luo sat down and said, "I know it must be sudden but I have urgent news to share with you." She paused and then declared, "William is injured and admitted in the hospital. He has been badly injured and there is no sign for him to wake up. There is no way he can help us during the inauguration party. For now, we have to look for a temporary patisserie. I want your opinion about this matter."

"I object," Johannes said. Since he was a salesman, he cared about the customer\'s feelings and demands more. "Every patisserie has his own way to make pastries. When the customers eat the pastries of the temporary patisserie, they will eventually like it. The next time they will come, they will try to have the pastry made by the same patisserie. If they don\'t get it, they will be disappointed and the reputation of the shop will be ruined."

Isla suggested, "We can hand the temporary patisserie William\'s recipe."

"Are you crazy?" Nancy snapped at her. "Who will give their secret to others? For each patisserie, their creation is like a life and their recipe book is like a Bible. You cannot hand it over at any cost. We don\'t know what kind of person the patisserie will be. If that person isn\'t good, they will steal Will\'s recipe and sue him for stealing. Will\'s life will be over!"

"I-I\'m sorry…" Isla quickly apologized.

Han Luo frowned. She told Nancy, "I know you are sad but you are at the company with your colleagues. Please mind your words and behavior. Don\'t bring your personal feelings in your professional work and ruin your reputation as an employee." Her voice was caring but her tone was firm and resolute.

\'A little girl came to lecture to me! How impudent!\' Nancy gritted her teeth and turned to shout at Han Luo but halted seeing her cold eyes.

"I believe you owe Isla an apology," Han Luo\'s voice became colder.

Nancy flinched. She never saw Han Luo this angry before. Chills ran down her spine. \'I can vent it when the time comes. This isn\'t the time.\' She clenched her fists and controlled her anger. She looked at Isla who was feeling low and apologized in a calm voice, "I\'m sorry. I crossed my line. I never should have got mad at you."

Isla quickly shook her head. "N-no, it\'s fine."

"So, what are we going to do now?" Thomas asked while fixing his glasses. He wanted to know what their team leader decided.

Johannes reminded them, "We don\'t even have six days. We prepared the documents. Shouldn\'t we send the legal papers to the owner?"

Han Luo tapped the table with her fingers. She remembered that she promised Larry that they would send the legal papers today. \'I shouldn\'t have promised it,\' she regretted her decision. She didn\'t let them see her worry and asked Nancy, "Have you taken care of the legal papers?"

"Yes, they are here." Nancy handed her a file.

Han Luo opened it and checked what\'s written there thoroughly. She found no spelling mistake of anything whatsoever. She knew that Nancy was good at her job. She barely made any mistakes. That\'s why she liked her.

She closed the file with satisfaction and told Nancy, "I\'ll be keeping this file with me. You must have other things to do. I\'ll be going to prepare some stuff and think about what to do next. Please don\'t lose your hope. If you get any ideas, you can call me anytime. The meeting is adjourned."

"Yes," others spoke in unison.

Nancy, Isla, and Johannes left the meeting room. Only Thomas stayed behind.

Han Luo asked him, "Is there something you want to tell me, Mr. O\'Brien?"

Thomas didn\'t beat around the bush. He directly questioned her, "Are you having a second thought about buying the shop, Miss Han?"

Han Luo narrowed her eyes. "What made you think that way?"

"You hesitated when you were about to take the file from Nancy," Thomas remarked.
