My Love for you

Muchen looked at his watch. It was already past 8 in the evening. Sara was supposed to arrive an hour ago but she still wasn't here. He looked at the bad luck beside him. It was none other that his cousin Li Minde.

He had accidentally accepted a Video call from Minde. When Minde saw that he was in a hospital, he panicked and was almost calling the entire extended family before Muchen stopped him. He only agreed not to tell the others if he visits Muchen and see for himself that nothing was actually wrong with him.

"Why are you looking at me like that. It's not my fault that she stood you up" Minde mocked. He was happy to see things not going well for his brother and Sara. Even though he was mad at Sara for making his beloved cousin wait for nothing, he was still happy she didn't show up.

Muchen just stared blankly then shook his head.

"There is something wrong. She would have at least called. What if she got into trouble?" He panicked at the thought of that.

Minde looked at his cousin in surprise. Was the Almighty CEO Li Muchen getting all jittery because of a girl? If any other person sees him now, they'll totally lose respect for him.

"This is a bad idea. How can you bring yourself this low because of a girl? And a girl like Sara? If you want to play with her, just give her money and She'll run into your arms. She's playing hard to get believe me. I know how these girls act to get our attenti..." Before he could land, a pillow smacked his head. "BRO!"

"Another word from you and I'll throw my computer next" Muchen warned.

Minde had to keep shut and just watch how everything played out.

Muchen took out his phone to call Sara. If Muhammed refuses to go to the mountain, the mountain will go to Muhammed. He called Sara repeatedly but it was still unreachable.

His worry intensified as he didn't know who else to call.

He then dialled Heya's number.

"Is Sara at home?" He asked when the call connected.

"Big Bro, Are you back?" Heya asked excitedly.

"Not really. Where is Sara?" He didn't know how else to answer her. A yes or No answer wasn't a good answer right now.

"No one cares about me now. She asks about you when she calls, you ask about her when you call. I feel so insignificant" Heya pouted as if Muchen was there seeing her puppy face.

Muchen could imagine how her face was like right now and laughed a little "That's not it I.. wait! did you just say she asked about me?" He suddenly sat up when his brain registered what she had said earlier.

"See what I'm talking about. That's the only thing you care about"

"Be serious Heya"

"She called me last night to ask if you were at home and to send your number. I told her to ask Ms Long instead since you might get angry"

So if she didn't ask about me when Ms Long called her. Why did she have to call Heya to ask if he was at home and also ask for his number? There was only one answer, Ms Long lied to him!

'Chou Long. what the hell has gotten into you?'

"Sara hurriedly left about 3 hours back after receiving a call from her Father. I think something happened to him." He heard Heya say.

" What? Give me the details"

"I don't really know. Just that we were in the middle of working out when her phone suddenly rang. Then she panicked and apologized to me before leaving. She didn't even go with the Chauffeur, I think she ran"

"Why didn't you call me then?"

"You are not in town. Besides, I didn't want to disturb you"

"Alright, thank you. I'll hang up now. Take care of yourself."

"Bro, did something happen? Minde asked when Muchen dropped the call and stood up abruptly.

"I knew something happened. Sara wouldn't just change her mind like that"

Minde was about to ask more when they heard a knock on the door. It was Ms Long coming in to inform Muchen about everything that had happened that day at work.

She greeted the both of them and noticed that the atmosphere was strained.

"You can leave today. Let's talk about it tomorrow" He dismissed her. Still angry about whatever issue had transpired between her Sara.

Ms Long could not pinpoint what was wrong. She accepted and left there.

"I'm leaving now. I'll see you later" He said to Minde as he moved to the door.

"Big Bro Wait!" You don't have to leave. I'll check the issue." He had been looking for a way to make Muchen indebted to him. This was a good opportunity.

"You want me to comfortably sit here when I know that something is wrong?"

"What if you leave and she gets here? Are you going to come back here to feign illness?" Minde asked. "Do you even think She'll want you to help her even if she was in a dire situation?"

Muchen knew Minde was making sense for the first time in his life. Sara would not ask for his help.

"Why are you helping me all of a sudden." Muchen couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"Well, you could say that my love for you exceeds my dislike for Sara I guess." He said with a shrug
