76 Plan 4 (1/2)

Just as Mrs. Hong got out from Natalie's office, she bumped into her son Jian!

”Mom?!” Jian was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Hong was surprised too! Her anxiousness is back again!

”Son!” She blurted out with her eyes wide opened! ”How long have you been here?!” She asked.

She was afraid that Jian might have heard her conversation with Natalie.

”I just happen to pass by.” Jian replied.

He noticehis mother's pale face. ”Mom, why do you looked pale? Are you sick?” He asked.

Mrs. Hong touched her face. ” Oh! It's nothing. Don't mind me.” Mrs. Hong replied.

”Why are you here anyway? And what are you doing in Ms. Zhuang's office?” Jian asked one after the other.

”Umm...I...I was about to go to your office to visit you. But I bumped into her and she invited me to go in.” Mrs. Hong lied.

Jian notice his mom is bothered. And she can't even look straight to his eyes when she was talking.

He had a feeling that his mother is hiding something from him?

But, what would it be?

Perhaps , I was just thinking too much?

Jian tried to erase her doubts towards his mother.

Abby and Natalie looked at each other.

”This is not just for the celebration of your success, it's also a welcome party for me and I am inviting the team for the production of your designs, Sister Nana!”

Natalie think for a moment before she reply.

She don't want to reject Carrie, because this is her first time to go out with her and this is the best chance for her to know the people that she's going to work with!

”Sure!” Natalie agreed.

”Sister Abby, you can come too! The more the merrier!” Carrie said.

Abby smiled, ”Sure! But... can I bring a friend?” Abby asked.

”Of course! ” Carrie replied.

”Thanks!” Abby said.

”Alright! It's all set then! I'll wait for the both of you at the parking area at seven in the evening!” Carrie said.

”Wait! We're not going to changed our dresses?” Abby asked.

”Oh it's alright! It's only us and the team that will help you for the production of your designs!” Carrie replied.
