Good Evening, Mr President!

He will Return Immediately

“Missy, don’t sit there anymore. I won’t be able to explain to Master if you catch a cold.” The housekeeper reminded the girl again.

She glanced at the middle-aged lady on the first floor and asked, “Aunty Chen, do you think uncle will rush back to see me if I’m sick now?”

“That goes without saying. Master dotes so much on you!”

Just as the woman finished what she said, Chi Yi dashed upstairs with a loud thud— ‘ta ta ta’.

“What are you doing, Missy?” the housekeeper asked worriedly.

“Going back to my room!”

In reality, she did return to her room.

The first thing she did was to strip herself bare and then aimed for the bathroom. Turning on the shower head, she adjusted the temperature to the lowest and stood under the cold pouring water.

It was late autumn season and a drag to be drenched in freezing water.

She started to tremble with her teeth chattering involuntarily. As her hair stood on end on every inch of her body, she clasped her arms round her body subconsciously. Despite the terrible cold that she was facing, she did not intend to give up. She would endure no matter how chilling it could be.

In fact, the colder it became, the better.

And true enough, this sadistic method worked. Barely 10 minutes had passed and she started to feel her head spinning. After another five minutes, she could take it no longer. Her head was so heavy that it seemed it would drop from her neck anytime.

She turned off the tap and reached for the long towel from the towel rack to wrap herself in. Staggering out of the bathroom, she walked down to the ground floor to look for the housekeeper. “Aunty Chen, I think I’ve caught a flu…”

“Oh, god! What happened to you?”

The woman got a fright when she saw the girl.

Her usually cherubic cheeks were pale beyond recognition, and even her lip flaps had turned ashen. All colors were drained from the girl’s face. Aunty Chen touched her forehead with the back of her palm and exclaimed, “Oh, no; you’re running a high temperature! I’ve to call Master, quick!”

As she spoke, she hurriedly grabbed the phone to make the call.

She could still feel her head swaying and it was unbearably painful, but the sight of Aunty Chen making the call strangely comforted her very much.

Standing by the side, she tried her best to snitch on the conversation.

When he received the housekeeper’s call, he was still helping Lin Wenyu to restore the operating system. The phone rang and he put the equipment aside to answer the call by the window sill.

The woman in the apartment did not know who the caller was, but she turned anxious the moment she saw him answering the phone. Now, she was a little regretful that she did not turn the phone into silent mode so no one could disturb their time together.

“Aunty Chen, what is it?” he asked his housekeeper.

“Master, where are you? If you’re not busy, then can you please rush back home? Missy ran a high fever suddenly! She looks really terrible right now, you better come home!”

Knitting his brows at her words, he asked, “How did that happen?”

His tone had cooled a little by then.

“She might have caught a cold indiscreetly!”

“Call a doctor, quick!”

“Okay!”

“Boil her some tonic drink that’ll help to fight the flu. I’ll be right back!”

“Understood!”

The moment the lady hung up the phone, the girl could not wait to find out his reply. “What did my uncle say?”

“He said he’d be right back!”

Her eyes lit up the moment she heard that.

“Missy, hurry back to your room and properly wear your clothes or your flu might turn worse!”

“I’m alright. Let me wait here for him.”

The girl adamantly refused and holed up on the sofa instead. Left with no choice, Aunty Chen could only bring her a quilt as she persisted with her wait.
