Chapter 58 - A Past She Would Never Forget?
Just like Su Jin told her earlier, everyone was assigned to their various rooms. The ladies made use of a building likewise the guys. Yifeng, Su Jin and Yang Zi made use of an entire building. It surprised Yang Zi, who thought they would assign her with the other ladies to hear that she had an entire room for herself. Not only that, she was also sharing an entire building with the two big shots of their company. Thinking it was just a coincidence, she did not think too deep about why she was the only employee who had a room to herself when others whose rank were even higher than hers did not.
The first thing she did following her entry into the spacious and exquisite room was to arrange the clothes she would need in her wardrobe. She also arranged her makeup, lotion, perfumes and other cosmetics on the dressing table. At the end of thirty minutes of arranging her stuffs, Yang Zi lay down on her bed, took out her phone and dialled Shui Shui's line. Knowing very well that Shui Shui's drama shoot was in the night, she assumed that she and Shiyi must be together. The two of them took turns in speaking to Yang Zi. Their call lasted for an hour plus. Yang Zi was shocked when she realised how long she talked to them.
After the call with her friends, she did not forget to call her mum, who might be anxious about her. She was also lucky to speak to her cute sister, who could not wait for Yang Zi's trip to be over so she would come home for Christmas. The now sitted Yang Zi lay down for a quick nap. Because of her frequent nightmares, Yang Zi rarely slept at night and she was used to it but because of the lengthy journey, she was exhausted so she ended up sleeping immediately she rested her head on her pillow.
The loud knocks on her door woke the sleeping Yang Zi up two hours into her deep slumber. At first she wanted to brush it off, but she couldn't when the person at the door kept on knocking. Finally, rubbing the sleep off her eyes, Yang Zi walked to the door with her new refined look.
"Miss Yang, sorry for the disturbance. We were all worried since we did not see you outside for a long time, so they asked me to check up on you," Jiang Xue said when Yang Zi opened the door.
"I am fine, I unintentionally feel asleep. That is why you guys did not see me outside, but thank you for checking up on me," Yang Zi replied politely.
"I am glad you are okay and one more thing, they also asked me to inform you that it's almost time for dinner so they expect everyone downstairs," Jiang Xue mentioned as she secretly peeped into Yang Zi's room. She could not help but feel jealous when she saw how beautiful her room was.
"Please kindly tell the others tIhat am not hungry so I will just stay in my room. I will come downstairs after dinner for the meeting. Thanks once again," Yang Zi politely declined. She waited for the lady to leave before she closed the door behind her. Just like Yang Zi promised, when it was time for the meeting she went downstairs to listen to all the details of what everyone will do during their stay in the resort. Everyone was told that they would be grouped into three sections. That is the sharing of people into groups will depend on the games they would play but the Madam in charge assured them that all ladies were in the same group while all guys were in the same group too. The two other categories of grouping will eventually be done some other day.
Yang Zi could not fall asleep. She quietly sneaked out of her room to take in some fresh air outside. Although everyone saw her as a tough lady, nobody knew that what this beautiful lady fears the most is falling asleep because of her constant nightmares. There was no night she closed her eyes to sleep that she would not get haunted by the nightmares of the day her sister died unjustly. The funniest thing is that she could count the number of days she had a peaceful sleep with her fingers for the past eight years.
Everyone thought she was strong and independent. Yes, to be precise, that was the truth, but no one really cared to know what prompted her to be this way. She often smiled when she heard ladies say that they would do anything to be as beautiful, smart and clever as her. In her mind she always screamed, "Try watching your own beloved sister die in your arms and being in a coma for four months, then you will never remain the same".
Yang Zi closed her eyes momentarily to shut down the thoughts of her past. Whenever she recalled that fateful day, her heart always tightened, the pain was always. It was if her heart was stabbed and twisted with a thousand daggers.
"Miss Yang, it looks like you are in pain? Did something happen," Yifeng who came out for some fresh air since he couldn't sleep asked as he approached her. Yang Zi quickly wiped off the tears which were attempting to fall from her eyes. She instantly put on her cold facade to mask her genuine feelings.
"Boss, I think you are overreacting, what could possibly happen to me here? Nobody here can bully me or don't you agree with me?" Yang Zi responded as she turned around to face him.
"Yeah, you are right, even I do not dare to bully you so who can?" Yifeng replied as he glanced at her to see whether she was crying or maybe his eyes deceived him.
