Sleeping with a feeling of disappointment apparently Mulan can still wake up in the morning blind. He hurriedly got up from his bed, then spread his gaze around. Bara wasn't there, just like the nights before.
Mulan sighed softly. Apparently the man really had no feelings. Is it possible that he has no heart so he has no guilt at all? Why can't an educated man like Bara appreciate someone's hard work? Bara should be able to taste the food a little if it is full, right?
"Yes already is. Holding a grudge will only add to the pain in the heart." Mulan muttered while brushing her blanket. The woman chose to concern herself with morning activities as solace. Lying if he could just forget that heartache.
No relaxing day. A myriad of jobs had awaited him after this. As a good wife she would still cook for Bara, but not by talking. He still has his pride, however. Begging to those who do not give.
For breakfast menu, Mulan deliberately make food that is not too heavy, but still full and healthy. Whether Bara will eat it or not, the important thing is that God has recorded his good intentions. He believes that effort will not betray results. Esther could definitely hold onto his words and Rayyan would definitely return to him. For now he should focus on the recovery of the company. Rayyan must have been fine under the tutelage of her new grandmother.
"Madam, she looks so pretty. I'm sure it tastes good too. The Bara would have liked." Alma praised the breakfast menu that Mulan served that morning. It doesn't help at all. Just standby to be there accompanying the Madam.
"I dare not expect much, Alma. I'm afraid I'll be disappointed." While removing her appron, Mulan gave a confession that made Alma widen her eyes. "Last night he didn't touch the food at all. You know for yourself, don't you? I cooked it with all my heart."
"Sir is like that, Madam?" alma's reply was like disbelief.
"Why are you so surprised, Alma? It's common for that guy to not appreciate people's feelings" Mulan said. He fixed his clothes that were not really messy. He seems to be getting ready for something.
"Where is the lady going?" Alma asked curiously half-panicked. Seen from the look of his eyes that were watching the Madam carefully.
"Before Mr. Bara comes down I must go out first, Alma. I'm lazy to meet and argue with him."
"Mrs ...." Alma called Mulan with concern. "You deliberately avoided Master? Where are you going?"
Mulan smiled gently then rubbed Alma's shoulder gently. "I'll visit one place, Alma. You don't have to worry, yeah. I'll be fine. I have a special agreement with Mr. Bara. The man gave me the freedom to do anything as long as I didn't bother him. Nor did he try to escape with Rayyan. Before afternoon I will be back to cook. Take it easy, yeah." He's convincing.
Alma nodded in understanding after a moment of silence. He will support Mulan. The woman was very kind to him.
"Already, yeah. I have to go." Mulan pamit's.
Alma could only nod in a sign of understanding. He told Mulan to be careful. The woman left in a hurry while reaching for the tote bag that had been prepared since. It seems Mulan knows that soon Bara will appear. And it was proven. Bara arrived at the dining room with a fresh and neat appearance as usual.
Alma immediately returned to her position. Stand in the line of servants and salute their Master. Although lowered his head, but the girl secretly noticed Bara's movements. Very obvious if the man tries to behave normally by eating his food calmly. However, his eyes that occasionally dizzy could not lie if he was looking for the existence of Mulan.

"Sir, it looks like this morning I did not see Mrs Mulan" Hendrik said shortly after driving to the office. Clearly he asked. The mistress did not come out to let her husband go to work as usual.
"No. It's just that Madam Mulan doesn't look like she used to."
"You miss him?"
Instead of answering, Hendrik actually tried to hold back the laughter. It was obvious that Bara's last question contained suspicion. Could it be a form of jealousy?
If true, it means that the seeds of love have sprouted in the heart of their master. Hendrik knew this man was always cold to every woman after the failure of his household. However, he catches no different signal from Bara's treatment of Mulan. There is a form of attention but Bara is still reluctant to admit it.
"It seems like the question should be for you" replied Hendrik in a satirical tone. "Maybe that looks from the outside you are now okay. But it seems like something is missing from you. Madame Mulan went out early in the morning, didn't she? He deliberately avoids you. I know, Master has secretly accepted the existence of Madam. Why are you still so cold to him? Is it because of Lady Aileen that's the cause?"
"Why mention the name of the woman? You're over-judging, Hendrik. None of this has anything to do with him!" sahut Bara with a rebuttal. He glanced at his assistant with dislike and then threw a glance out the window. The man let out a heavy sigh before finally saying, "Maybe it's better like this, Hendrik. I don't want Mulan to expect more from me."
Unable to say anything, Hendrik could only sigh deeply. However, he felt concerned for the boss because he was trapped in a complicated bond like this.

Mulan sighed in relief after the car she was riding stopped right in front of the office. He hurriedly poured the money and got down from there.
He ignored the strange looks of his employees. Mulan continued walking in while lifting her chin, maintaining her authoritative and elegant demeanor as the CEO of the company. Reply to greetings while developing a beautiful smile.
Cyndi who had seen him from a distance immediately rushed over. To give a welcome to the woman who for several years gave full confidence to him. Mulan who saw that looked like she had a thin smile that looked very sweet.
"Good morning, Miss Mulan" said Cyndi cheerfully but remained polite.
"Morning too, Cyndi," Mulan replied as she continued to pass. The secretary let him walk first, then also walked a step behind Mulan.
"What is the schedule today?" mulan then asked the 27-year-old woman.
"Today we have some important meetings with the EC CORPORATION envoy, ma'am. But–" Cyndi hangs up his words to attract Mulan's attention.
"But what, Cyndi?" ask the woman curious.
"There was an unimportant guest that Ms. Mulan had to meet this morning" Cyndi replied.
"Oh yeah? She who?"
