3 Chapter 3; What is your handbag...........

Su Mao stood there gazing at her father with her eyes tearing. She didn't use that much force to push her, her sister always pretended to be weak in front of everyone.

"Master... There is a man at the door saying Miss Su forgot her handbag inside the hotel room... Someone just dropped it at the gate..." A guard strode over nervously with his head bowed.

"Su Mao, didn't you say that you were in the office? What is your handbag doing in the hotel room? " Su Feng Ying was infuriated this time as everyone gazed at Su Mao who was standing there without any query.

"Go over to the ancestral hall and kneel... Carefully recite the family rules and copy everything down... " Su Feng Ying turned around and walked away after that short reprimand.

Su Mao walked over to the ancestral hall kneeling while copying those rules. The handbag was left there on the couch as everyone went back to do what they had been doing.

Even if she explained herself, that man wouldn't listen to her explanations.

After six hours of kneeling and copying, she staggered getting up before walking over to her bedroom, it was already 3 am into the night. She didn't want to think about anything apart from resting.

"The following morning being a Wednesday, Su Mao woke up earlier, by seven she was dressed up, and picked up her handbag before settling down inside her car.

She didn't even have any breakfast, she opened the handbag and went through it, nothing was actually missing, which meant, this handbag had been stolen just to frame her and insinuate something.

She loudly sighed driving out of the compound, she was getting exhausted day by day, the company was profitable with the careful projects she accepted and tended to, but the shareholders and directors were greedy and didn't like her carefulness... Business was all about risk.

Arriving at the company, she attended several meetings, went out of the company to inspect the ongoing projects and finally she was back in the office.

It was five in the evening already and didn't feel like going home, she knew what awaited her there... Loneliness and a cold room, no one ever cared about her in that family part from that Old Man who was very strict with her and her half-sister who had been missing for so long.

She settled down on her office seat before vigorously going through the pending files that were lying on top of her desk in a disorganized manner.

She wondered who had gotten into her office and messed the files up while wondering her secretary walked in.

"Miss Su... Your father came in and I was unable to stop him, he took away some files..." She bowed her head apologetically, but Su Mao already knew her father had a spare key to every place in that office.

" It's okay... just arrange the things..." She didn't blame her knowing how things were when it came to her father.

"Okay, madam..." The secretary stood there and began arranging the files carefully while Su Mao went through the files.

While going through the files of the several pending projects, her newly purchased mobile phone rang, and she lifted her bowed head before lazily straightening her back.

There was a drawer beneath her office desk on her left side where she kept documents and other things, she yanked the drawer open and picked it up before looking at whose number was phoning her private number. It was rare to receive even scam calls on that line.

But, she was surprised to see it was a new number calling her which she hadn't communicated with from the moment she acquired a phone.

She sat up straightening her back before leaning on her office chair. Out of curiosity, she answered the phone call thinking maybe it was her ex-boyfriend who had decided to call her, her face immediately beamed with a soft ray as she smiled warmly. She also understood that only a few people knew her private number, so it could be someone close to her.

"Hello..." her voice was laid back and plain with fewer expectations but still it was warm, she was having a mild headache shooting in due to overworking herself and lack of enough sleep.

"Su Mao... please help me... help me... please help me..." the voice from the other side of the phone call screeched heartbreakingly and only some sobs could be heard while her voice broke in between.

You could hear her heavy breath and Su Mao immediately knew the person on the other side was struggling to inhale and exhale with all the choking happening.

The squeaking sounds around the surrounding environment around the caller made her voice inaudible as also the phone network was unstable.
