At a hotel in Indonesia

Jiang Xi was calling someone on her phone.

“Chyou!. Have you taken care of my return ticket?.” (in mandarin) asked Jiang Xi.

“Already Ma'am, I've booked a ticket for tomorrow afternoon.” (mandarin language) replied Chyou assistant Jiang Xi.

“I'll settle a little bit of the business that's here. Is the situation in Beijing safe Chyou?.” (mandarin language) asked Jiang Xi.

“There's a little furore here Mom. Later I will send the details to you by email.” (mandarin language) Reveal Chyou who delivered the news about Lu Chen in Beijing.

“Hhmm. It seems that the female fox has already shown her fangs back. And how is the duty of our mercenary?.” (in mandarin) asked Jiang Xi back who started to think that this was Jia Li's deed.

“He's already sent some evidence of the female fox's encounter. uh I mean Jia Li with someone. I will send you along with other articles.” (mandarin language) said Chyou who slightly slipped with the nickname Jia Li.

“Good!. I'll check it after this. Thank you Chyou!.” (in mandarin) Jiang Xipun broke off his conversation with his assistant.

Then a few minutes after his conversation with Chyou, a notification was heard in his email. He rushed to download all the photos in the email through his smartphone.

And clearly displayed some articles with a photo of Lu Chen and Zahra as well as a photo of Jia Li with a female journalist whom Jia Li met a few days ago. Jiang Xipun started to check all the news that was in Gu-Gle back then and rightly the news regarding Lu Chen and the mysterious girl from Indonesia was trending at the moment.

“His race this time the woman started to seriously pursue Lu Chen. This time, who is behind him?. I need to see this reporter immediately. Lest he do any further.” (mandarin language) Jiang Xi is determined to remove the imprint from Jia Li, as she knows Jia Li can act more than this.

“Tok!. Tok!.”

The sound of knocking on the door rang out in Jiang Xi's hotel room. And Jiang Xipun opened the door and found Mr. Lucas is at the door.

“Mr. Lucas, please come in!.” Pinta Jiang Xi wants Mr. Lucas entered his hotel room. The hotel room rented by Jiang Xi is a suite room and there is a workspace and meeting room in it. So many colleagues and workers who come in for meetings and work in the room.

“Mr. Lucas, thank you for coming.” Said Jiang Xi because of Mr. Lucas fulfilled his call.

“What does Madam call me?.” Ask Mr. Lucas still calls Jiang Xi his mistress.

“I know, you are a loyal employee of the Lu family, and surely you know all things related to this family including Jackson's marriage to that woman.” Jiang Xi asked who wanted to get straight to the point.

“I am only an assistant for important matters only Madam, for personal matters Big Master I do not know much.” Reply Mr. Lucas did not want to answer Jiang Xi's question.

“You sure know what kind of person he is?. I've known Jackson for a dozen years, he couldn't have fallen in love with a snake woman like Mr. Jackson. Lucas. And I know something's wrong with this wedding. And I know very well what the impact on the future will be?. You know for sure I won't stay quiet with this?.” It was Jiang Xi who didn't want Mr. Lucas was hiding something from him.

“I think you already know through the media Madam?. Miss Niki is an artist married to you. And all I know so far is that their relationship is just a status, because you never let Miss Niki touch her. Not even your assets are on behalf of the woman, nor have you ever introduced Miss Niki to her family or colleagues. That's all I know Mrs.” Reveal Mr. Lucas was brief and clear.

“Why can he choose the woman as his companion?. This is really weird?.” Jiang Xi who began to look deeper into Mr. Lucas.

“Mistress, I know you want to know more about this. But as a subordinate loyal to the Great Lord, I should suggest that the Madam can ask the Great Lord directly. I can't say anything else but this. I'm sorry Madam!.” Mr. Lucas bowed his head as a sign of sorry to Jiang Xi for not being able to reveal any more.

“Alright!. I understand, because I'm sure that woman won't stay put with Jackson's treatment. Someday he will look for the ins and outs of this family, I fear that one day Lu takes over Jackson's position he will appear as a thorn. I can see from his gaze back then, I am very familiar with the same gaze from Jia Li.” Jiang Xi recalled a gaze full of ambition and obsession within. He did not want it to happen in front of him.

“But Mr. Lucas can you promise me one thing?.” Jiang Xi asked with a hopeful look.

“What is Madam?.” Ask Mr. Lucas.

“Protect Lu, no matter what!. Because I know, here only you can do it!.” Pinta Jiang Xi with teary eyes.

“I have always considered Young Master to be the person I should serve and protect from Madam. You do not need to worry, I will take this burden until my service period is complete.” Said Mr. Lucas to his former great mistress.

“Jackson, so many mysteries that I have to solve. Who is that woman?. Is it because of this, I should go back to see you?.” Bathin Jiang Xi is still hard when she meets her ex-husband.

“Ting!. Tong!.”

The doorbell of Bu Mirna's house rang.

Miss Mirna who was busy cleaning it had to stop her activities and go to open the door.

And look Zahra with a position that still holds the door handle with a very messy face.

“Yeah of Zahra!. What time is it?.” Ms. Mirna who immediately rambled at length because her son from yesterday just came home.

Zahra, who did not greet his mother and father, rushed into his room in a hurry. And as soon as he saw the soft bed in front of him he did not think long to lay down himself without taking off his clothes and shoes because of the fatigue felt. And Zahrapun fell asleep again in the bed.

Until he fell asleep and was carried to dreamland.

At a Concert

The human boisterous voice that already looked like a sea of humans was calling out Lu Chen's name in unison.

“Lu Chen!. Lu Chen's!. Lu Chen!.” Lu Chen's fans screamed at his big concert.

Lu Chenpun sang and danced to cheer the sea of fans in front of him. A large concert held by Lu Chen's management, Lu Chen exuded an overwhelming aura on stage. This was Lu Chen's biggest concert in the past 1 year.

This is the first time Zahra has attended a concert without frills as a designer. Zahra was present as a spectator supporting her lover.

After the concert ended there was Lu Chen's signature session for selected fans to interact with. And the signature event went smoothly until suddenly a fan pierced Lu Chen's chest, instantly the whole person there became in an uproar when he saw Lu Chen was already sprawled with a lot of blood.

“AarrggHHH Lu Chen!.”

Zahra's cry broke out instantly, wanting to break through the crowd to save her lover but being confronted by the guards.

And immediately everything became pitch black, and replaced with the view of a room with a pink feel. Yes, Zahra woke up from her nightmares after being exhausted from working all day.

Zahra woke up with sweat soaking her body, the dream felt so real that it felt like she was just switching dimensions.

“Why does the dream feel real?. Is it possible that I was so worried about Lu Chen that I thought of a no-no?.” Zahra who monologues to himself.

“This is crazy!.” Zahra pulled her hair out of the sweat.

He immediately got out of his bed and went to the bathroom to clean himself. The strange dream that Zahra had just experienced was it a sign?. Or is it just a sleeping flower like an ordinary human?. I don't know, only fate can answer that.
