CHAPTER 9

"Hello Mr Zhang. I just got struck in the traffic....So much traffic in Beijing especially near the airport", said Kim Dae Hyun, the Korean businessman who wants to do investment in the Maximus.

"It's fine Mr Hyun. Please this way", said Xian. Mishi bowed her head slightly in respect before Dae Hyun. 

"Who is this Ms?", asked Dae Hyun looking at Xian.

"Oh this is my personal assistant Ms Mishi Xin", said Xian with a smile. The investor shakes hand with Mishi and they went to the private room which was booked by his secretary already. 

"Mr Hyun what do you want to order?", asked Xian.

"Mr Xian you know my choices. Please order that.....", said Dae Hyun. Xian nodded and then turned to Mishi and gestured her to tell. She looked at the menu but everything is so expensive that she whispered lightly, "It's 100$ meals here....who would like to eat in such a restaurant"

"Just tell me....", said Xian with a smile on his lips.

"I'm not hungry", said Mishi.

"Your PA is new I guess in this work. Ms don't worry about money", said Dae Hyun. She smiled and randomly select a dish whose name she never heard of. "You really want this?", asked Xian to confirm.

"Yes....", replied Xian and gave a smile. 

After some 10 minutes their orders came. 

"What's this?", said Mishi loudly and then realized that she's in a business meeting. 

"Ms Xin you ordered this meal which has 22 cuisines", said Xian.

"I think you can eat too much", said Dae Hyun and smiled....."let's start eating then".

Mishi blinked for sometime and then started eating. She saw the others have almost completed their dishes and she was still in her 5th dish. She ate and ate till her stomach got full....

"I think Ms Xin was very hungry that's why she has eaten almost everything", said Dae Hyun and laughed. Xian too smiled hearing him... "Let's talk about the deal then", said Dae Hyun while the waiter came there with another male staff and cleaned the table entirely. 

"Of course....here the papers", said Xian and grabbed the file from Mishi. 

"Mr Xian there's nothing to read. You've sent the proposal along with papers....every thing is perfect, let's just finalize this deal", said Dae Hyun. Xian handed him the papers and Dae Hyun signed them. They exchanged the handshakes and after seeing him off to the 7 star hotel they left for the office.

"I never thought you can eat that much", said Xian while driving.

"Sir you didn't tell me that I shouldn't order that....above all those were worth 500$", said Mishi.

"You are going to pay me that money in monthly installments", said Xian. Mishi sighed and then she felt like throwing up. She put her palms over her mouth and gestured Xian to stop the car. 

"We're in highway....just wait for 10 minutes", said Xian and speed up the car. 

She couldn't control the vomiting and was going to throw it when Xian put his hand over her mouth...."why did you eat that much when your little stomach can't fill that?", snapped Xian angrily and with speed more than 100Km/h he almost takeover every other vehicle. They came out of the highway and Xian saw a public toilet there. He applied the brakes and removed his hand from Mishi's mouth. Mishi ran as fast as she could to the toilet. 

Xian came out of the car and went to the men's washroom to wash his hands properly. 15 min passed but Mishi didn't came out of the women's toilet. 

"This girl....", mumbled Xian and kept waiting for her. After 15 minutes she came out with a pale face.

"What happened?", asked Xian.

"My stomach is hurting", said Mishi in a low voice.

"Who told you to eat that much?", shouted Xian at her.

"I can't waste that food", said Mishi holding her stomach. 

"I can't believe this girl", said Xian and grabbed her hand. He make her sit in the car and himself sat on the driver seat. Mishi closed her eyes for sometime. Xian opened the window a little so that fresh air can come inside. 

"I thought to take revenge from her but it's feel like she's taking revenge from me" said Xian in his mind. He stopped the car in front of a hospital...."get off..."

"Why are we in the hospital?", asked Mishi opening her eyes.

"To check you up and now get off the car", said Xian. Mishi get off from the car and sat on the bench outside the hospital. Xian came there after parking his car and said, "Ms Xin let's go". She gets up from the bench and they walked inside the hospital.

"Over eating", said the doctor while looking at her.

"Is she fine?", asked Xian from the doctor.

"Yes. She's fine....take rest for a day and only take light meals. If you don't feel like eating then don't... You're lucky after eating this much your stomach is still right. I'm writing some medicines, take them two times a day....", said the doctor and gave the slip up Xian.

"Thanks doctor", said Xian. The doctor walked towards the second bed. 

"I'm bringing the medicines...just stay here", said Xian and walked away. After 15 minutes he came and told her that she should go home and take rest.

"How much it cost?", asked Mishi looking at the medicines.

"100000$", said Xian.

"Don't joke....wait it's written on the slip and takes a look on the slip.....50$". She took out the money from her pocket and told him to keep it.

"I'm not that bad boss", said Xian.

"I don't want to be in your debt, Sir", said Mishi and got up from the bed. 

"I've booked a taxi for you....go home and take rest..ah one more thing the event is shifted for tomorrow so you've to accompany", said Xian. 

"Thank you sir", said Mishi. 

"Let me drop you till the taxi", said Xian and walked out of the hospital. Xian told the taxi driver to drop Mishi safely. "Here it's your bag, your phone's", said Xian giving her the things.

She took her things and the driver drove off from there.

Xian looked at his watch..."3:30pm. This girl has made me worry....I thought something has happened to her". Suddenly his phone rang and it was Mark.

"Hm hello....I'm coming", said Xian and hangs up the call.

Mishi laid down on the bed and fell to sleep. 

"Sisi...Sisi", called Chunhua.

"You came?", asked Mishi.

"It's 8pm...", said Chunhua. 

Mishi quickly get up from the bed and ran inside the washroom. She washed her face and went to the kitchen. 

"I've prepared the dinner. You're tried I guess", said Chang putting the plates on the table.

"You should've woken me up", said Mishi.

"It's fine....come let's have dinner", said Chang. 

"My stomach isn't right so doctor told me to eat light food. You both start eating....I'll Just drink the juice as I'm not feeling like eating", said Mishi.

"Are you okay now?", asked Chunhua.

"Hm I'm fine. Doctor said that I should eat less for a few days", said Mishi and grabbed a juice bottle from the fridge. She took a glass and pour the juice in it. 

"So how's the school going? Did you deposit that money for that competition?", asked Mishi.

Chunhua stopped eating. 

"Sisi yes that will be in next month", said Chang tried to save Chunhua.

"Next month?"

"Yes, it's an audition for an agency. If Chunhua will make through it then she'll be signed as a trainee there and can make a debut", said Chang.

"You should focus on your studies. You know that it's tough to be a trainee in such agencies", said Mishi and drank the juice.

"Sisi it's her dream so let her try. May be she will succeed", said Chang while chewing the rice.

"Okay I trust you..... Don't pressure yourself too much. I'll be happy if you get selected there", said Mishi. Chunhua smiled and said, "Don't worry Sisi I'll pass that audition". Chang smiled seeing her. 

Mishi's phone rang so she went to the table to pick it up. 

"Hello sir"

"Why didn't you call when you reached home?", asked Xian from other side of phone.

"Sir I was tired so..."

"Are you fine?"

"Yes sir. I'm feeling better now..."

"Ok then. There's a meeting tomorrow. I guess Mr Wei has already sent you the mail. Send the mails to the managers in our office...", said Xian and hanged up.

"Is he your new boss?", asked Chang.

"Yes.....finish your food. Don't do the dishes I'll do it later....I've some office work to do....", said Mishi and went inside the room.

"Thanks Chang for helping me", said Chunhua.

"You've to do my work....", said Chang.

"Ok....", said Chunhua.

"Pass the audition so that you can achieve your dream", said Chang and got up from the chair and went to the basin.

"Xu told me that you're being scouted by an agent of some top agency to be an actor but you refused", said Chunhua.

"Hm"

"Why?"

"Because my Sisi needs me more right now....moreover I want to study right now", said Chang.

"But you would've gotten then more money. Then Sisi didn't has to struggle this much", said Chunhua.

"But she was alone that time. Don't forget that she hides her tears from us..... Indeed I've earned more but after 5 years. That time we don't have enough money that she could give me. So I refused", said Chang.

"You act like a big brother", said Chunhua and put the plates inside the wash basin.

"Am I not?", asked Chang.

"You're....", said Chunhua and smiled. 

"Go study....from next week we've exams. This time I won't save you", said Chang and put his hands inside the pocket.

"You've to. I'm your twin. We spend 9 months together in mother's womb", said Chunhua.

Chang smiled and walked away.

"Hey hey....wait", said  Chunhua and ran after him.
