15 A Dinner with the Beast 1 (1/2)
*A present
Although her eyes are closed, TianTian can feel her hand is touched warmly by someone.The voice is so softly talks to her,
”When will you wake up, my sleeping beauty? I miss you so much.Please wake up soon...I believe you will wake up someday..”
TianTian also can feel the man stays closer to her, so close that he kisses her forehead gently.TianTian can smell the aroma from his body, its smelled like the traditional medicine incenses, which is familiar for TianTian.She wonders when she ever smells it.She tried so hard to think about it, but her mind just becomes wandering thinking about other things, about her family, the dinner and the photo at that day.
*In the past,
After be left by the King, TianTian just sit on LiMingHu's chair behind the desk. She thought if the beast had meeting, it mustbe took around one or two hours to finish? The point was she had her free time to explore this office,
”Maybe I can find anything that I can use to deal with that beast later?”
So she started by searching on the king's table.There were not too many things on the desk, just some documents of works, TianTian sees them a little.When she looks the document and photos that just now LiMingHu shown to her, she took WenWen's photo and felt regret for not contacting her yet.She promised in her heart, later she must find the way to meet WenWen and explained everything to her. Then she closed the documents, nothing special about other documents, they just contains reports and numbers which TianTian didn't too expert about it.
She moves to the drawers. There were 4 drawers and three of them are locked, 'LiMingHu is not stupid, of course he locks the drawer' TianTian felt dumb for herself.But still she checks all drawer, including the last drawers, which happened unlock.TianTian startled before but then she pulled it and there was nothing inside except an old photo.
TianTian took the photo to observe it more but suddenly a knock coming from out,TianTian immediately took the photo and closed the drawer, then she sat again on sofa, pretending never stand up from there, she answered,
”Come in..”
Miss Yang entered the room with a food tray.She put it in front of TianTian, and offered it politely,
”Please enjoy it Miss TianTian, these food are special ordered from 5 star Li Hotel....made by the head of chef there”
TianTian widened her eyes, 'A tiramisu cake and mint chamomile tea, her favourite food that she often ordered it everytime she went to a cafe. How could that beast know?' It was a rhetorical question coz TianTian realized the king could do it easily.
Miss Yang seems waiting for the responds,
”Miss TianTian, is anything lack?”
”Oh..no..thanks, its good...”
”Well ,if that so please enjoy it till President Li comes back from the meeting.I'll be outside if you need anything else.” Miss Yang excused herself politely and walked to the door, before sudden TianTian called her to ask,
”Aah, Miss Yang..may I ask you a question?”
”Please, go ahead”
”Does President Li...has a little sister? niece? or maybe...a daughter?”
The question startled Miss Yang a little bit, but she managed to stay polite and answered,
”President Li doesn't have a sister or any siblings so he also doesn't have any niece.And about a daughter,...as far I know, he doesn't have any daughter.”
Miss Yang looked curiously to TianTian, she wanted to know why TianTian asked that such question but she knew it was none of her business, beside she still had many job to do, so she want to excuse herself,
”Is there anything you want to ask?”
”No...no...thank you. eh, Miss Yang?” TianTian hoped she didn't misspelling the name tag on Miss Yang's cloth.
Miss Yang smiled as her name was mentioned, she glad TianTian considered to know her name.
”Well then, excuse me” Miss Yang then got out from the room.
While TianTian took off the photo and looked to the photo carefully.It was a photo of a little girl, in beach dress and wearing a wide beach hat.Her face looked pretty with a big smile on face and her brown long hair.Her age was around 10-12 years.
TianTian seemed puzzled,
'Who is this girl? Is she someone important to LiMingHu or nobody? Well...better than nothing...' TianTian took her smartphone to take a picture of that photo, in case she needed it one day.Her instinct was telling her that the little girl might important.TianTian turned on her smartphone and took a snapshot.After that, she realized that so many messages and voice messages came since yesterday.All sent from her family.TianTian heard all the messages,all were telling her to go home and asking that she was not serious to leave the family,
”Just...come back TianTian okay?”
that's the end of the message and it made TianTian couldn't hold her tears,
”I am sorry, Mom...Dad...brothers...”
