Zora clenched her fists secretly while keeping smiling in the face. She said to Kay, “Oh, I forget you have not any household chores to care about.” She nodded to show her understanding and went on saying, “So it is reasonable that you are concerned about others’ things.”

Kay was so angry that her face twisted. She shouted, “Zora, don’t be so arrogant. I tell you. You will pay for it.”

“Kay, you can ask me to pay for it. But I tell you to leave that kind of tricks to your lovers. Otherwise, the person who cries will be you.” After saying this, she left irritated Kay and went into the spa smilingly.

Susie didn’t go into the conflict between Zora and Kay. She took herself as an onlooker, mild and tender. At the moment she was doing massage for Zora while talking to her, “Zora, are you worrying about something?”

Zora sighed and replied, “Nothing actually. But Susie, do you know what a woman should do to move a man?”

Susie smiled and responded, “Is Zora thinking about Sam?”

Zora was a little surprised, “Even you have known about it?”

Susie told her, “You are the future hostess of the Shen’s. Of course, I know about it. As far as I know, Sam has no any other woman beside him. Surely, you are the most special one to him.”

“What’s the use to be special? “Zora answered. She drooped her head and looked very down. She thought she was never in Sam’s mind. Otherwise how could he give no message even if he came back a few days ago?

Susie smiled and went on speaking, “I don’t think so. According to Sam’s character, no one can force him to do something if he really doesn’t like it. Besides, who will not like to marry a lady like you, who owns both beauty and a wealthy family?”

Susie’s words woke Zora up. She felt relieved and happy. She quickly said goodbye to Susie and left.

Outside the Shen’s house, Zora was standing in front of the familiar iron gate with black carvings. She tidied her clothes and smoothed her hair. She looked simple but elegant.

A woman servant of around fifty came to answer the door and greeted her. Zora didn’t recognize who she was and just nodded as usual.

“I am Judy, the maid. Ah, Miss Qiao seldom comes here, so it’s normal you forget about me.”

Like master, like servant, the servant’s eyes were also very sharp. She saw clearly Zora was embarrassed.

Zora said hello to her asked if Uncle Shen was at home. Judy took the gift from Zora happily and replied, “The lord is out today, but the lady is drinking tea in the garden.”

Actually, she came for another purpose. There was a saying in China, “An ugly daughter-in-law is bound to see her parents-in-law”. Though she felt embarrassed, she decided to face the challenge. So she smiled brightly to meet the noble lady coming towards her.

“Zora?” Sam’s mother, Rebecca was surprised to see her. Since she came back from abroad, this was her first time to see Zora. She smilingly held Zora by the hand saying, “How come you are free to see me today? Long time no see. You are more and more beautiful.”

For Zora, this was not the first time to see Rebecca. She was still that noble and elegant, younger than her age. Sam looked quite like her.

Zora smiled and answered, “Thank you, Auntie Shen. You look the same, still so young and beautiful.”

Rebecca understood praise was the best communication language. But she knew the relationship between Zora and Sam, so she was very warmhearted.

After greetings, Zora turned to her topic, “Auntie, I just came back from abroad and there I happened to get a Gucci silk scarf. I was told you like this style, so I immediately came to send it to you.”

Rebecca was surprised to see the scarf, but she kept calm and asked, “Is this scarf rare and difficult to get?”

Zora smiled and answered, “I know you have a lot of Gucci scarves, but no this kind. So when I happened to see it abroad, I…”

Rebecca told Judy, “Immediately call Sam back. Tell him we have a guest and he must come back.”

Zora’s face went red and said to Rebecca, “Auntie, I just came to see you.”

Rebecca did not expose her, but smilingly took her to the hall saying, “You seldom come and Sam is always busy, so today thanks to you, I also get the chance to eat with him.”

Rebecca was such a considerate lady. Both of them chatted very happily there.

Suddenly from behind a worker was greeting someone, “Good afternoon, Master Sam!” Zora quickly turned around and met Sam’s expressionless face. He asked with a sneer in his eyes, “Why are you here?”

Though Zora had prepared to meet this, she still felt uncomfortable. So she kept silent. She looked gloomy and her mouth drooped slightly.

Rebecca tried to ease the situation and said,” Sam, it’s not easy for Zora to come. You should treat her well for me.” She then asked the workers to get the dinner to begin.

Sam nodded and went upstairs. He announced, “I am busy. I just came back to change clothes.”

Rebecca had to come out to mediate again, “Zora, never mind. This is Sam as usual.”

Zora twisted her mouth into a smile and replied, “It doesn’t matter, auntie.” Actually she wanted to say she was not there for Sam. But she knew it was a lie. And she was sure Rebecca knew it clearly.

To ease the embarrassment, Rebecca told her secretly, “In a minute, I’ll show you something.”

Sam had changed a casual shirt and prepared to leave.

Zora clenched her fists under the table. She was so annoyed. Sam was to leave her there mercilessly. He dressed so casually that it was not likely he was going to a business. He was going to meet another girl outside?

Rebecca noticed Zora’s reaction and smiled. Actually she knew her son well.
