Chapter 82 - Behind closed doors (2/2)

Thursday came with a good weather bit a bad mood for everyone. Sara had deliberately gone to the Li's place later than usual. As expected, Muchen had gone to work.

”Are you okay?” Heya asked worriedly when she the shadows under her eyes.

She hadn't been able to sleep that night. She was thinking about her self, her life, her father, her aunt–who she hadn't heard from for days now and desperately needed to confirm something from her. She was also thinking about Muchen.

The credit alert she received that night had also complicated the way she was feeling. The amount had shocked her. It was enough to but an apartment for them, a small building for her father's restaurant and sufficient miscellaneous to go shopping with if she chose. At that point, she really had no idea how to feel.

She remembered his sad smile, his sad look when he watched her. He just kept popping repeatedly no matter what. She needed a distraction–she thought. A really good distraction.

Even after putting her entire mind, body and soul into working out, it didn't still help her. She remembered how he had been standing so close to her just the evening before. She could still see him sitting on that chair in the gym room, facing the window.

”Sara stop it! What's wrong with you? You've been jumping rope for the past hour” Heya held her hand.

Sara sat on the floor, dazed. She used her hands to massage her temples. ”I don't... I really don't know” She managed to say. Why on earth would she keep thinking about him all day? It was driving her crazy.

”Wait, I'll call Big bro—”

”No! No. Don't call him!” She rejected firmly. She didn't know what was wrong with her all of a sudden, or why her heart was beating faster. She wanted to see him. But at the same time, she didn't want to.

Heya could not understand what was happening. She didn't know how to help either. She could only sigh in frustration.

Muchen's state was not better either. He kept finding fault in everything. For hours, they've been having a board meeting in Li corporation. Everyone was tired but could not complain about it. But unlike Sara, he knew exactly what was wrong with him. 'Sara Wang, you are gradually driving me crazy'
