Episode 1: First Meet

"Fu Xian, tell me about my schedule for tomorrow." He said, looking rather exhausted.

"Mr. Si, you have a meeting at 7am with the ambassadors from country D. Afterwards, there are a few meetings to attend to at the company. Then there's a dinner with the Wang fam--"

"I told you to never bring that up in front of me again!" He said in a cold voice, rubbing his temples.

"I apologise, Mr. Si" Fu Xian continued. "I'll cancel it right away."

Si Yan Cheng hummed in acknowledgment. Fu Xian opened the car door for him. He walked out in a rather lazy and exhausted manner. Walking towards the main gate of the Si mansion, they noticed an unfamiliar figure outside the door.

"Who's there!" Fu Xian inquired in a cautious manner. This is the mansion of the master of the Si Family. How dare someone come here and sit at the front door? Are they tired of living??

No one answered.

"Sir, I'll go closer and check. "No need." Si Yan Cheng walked towards the gate and stopped in front of the person in question and stood there. While the person sat on the cold ground. He could finally see the person's figure clearly. She was a wom-- a girl.

A little girl who barely looked 17 years of age. She lifted her head and looked at him with her expressionless eyes, He examined her. Her long silver hair were glowing brightly even in the dead of night. Her eyes were as red as blood.

She was wearing a floral skirt and a plane white top which was giving her an air of a youth even younger than 17 yet her beautiful face stayed emotionless, creating quite an irony.

"Sir, Hello." She said.

"Who are you?" He ignored her greeting.

"...I'm very poor." She said.

"What?" He couldn't comprehend her.

"I'm very poor. My younger brother is sick and I need money." She continued. "Sir, please give me some money."

Fu Xian couldn't make out of what was happening with the conversation of the two. He had met many women trying to please and get closer to his Boss yet she was the first to dared ask him for money.

There was a silence in the dead night for a good whole minute. No knew what to say. Finally the girl broke the awkward silence.

"Sir" She continued, "Will you give me money?"

He stared into her cold expressionless eyes for two seconds before finally replying, "Sure" He smirked. "I'll give you money but what would I get in return?"

"What!?" Fu Xian was so shocked he couldn't hold his expression and this earned him a cold glare from his Boss.

The girl hummed as if thinking seriously about what to give in return for this man's help. She got up from the ground and walked towards the flower beds at the side and randomly picked a flower from there and came back to stood in front of the other two.

This time they could make out her height clearly. She was more than a feet shorter than Si Yan Cheng but quite tall for a girl, yet slim. He looked at her expressionless face. She looked back at him.

"This flower is pretty. You can keep it." She said looking all the more serious.

"What is wrong with you!?" Fu Xian finally couldn't handle it anymore. "You are actually giving a flower to my Boss from my Boss' garden in return for his help!?"

"Is there something wrong with that?" She looked rather serious while asking him.

"You--!" He didn't know what to say.

"Haha..." Fu Xian thought he had heard wrong.

"Hahaha..." No, his ears were working right.

"Hahahahaha... Little girl, you are the first person to ever dared to treat me like this."

"I'm very honoured." Again, she looked very serious.

The other two were speechless.

"Sure" He continued. "Come inside with me. I'll give you money."

"Okay." She replied. She followed him inside.
