Searching For You

Chapter 81

Hue Chi reached out his hands to receive the handshake. He clasped his hand with hers and give a firm squeeze while smiling at her. Yu Sha avoided eye contacts with the Night Owl. She"s been avoiding him for a good week and had been successful at it but today is unavoidable. She must put up an act until he leaves.

Jake gestured for everyone to go sit on the table. When each of them sat on the table, Yu Sha turned on the project slide and brief the status, what they had done so far, where they are in terms of schedule and what is expected to come. Yu Sha talked with so much knowledge as if she knew every minute details of the project from inside out. Hue Chi noticed that Yu Sha does most of the details presenting when on the site while Su Na does public appearances and interviewing. Is Yu Sha really Su Na"s a.s.sistant or is she really the mastermind of this whole project? Hue Chi was looking at Yu Sha without blinking as many thoughts rummage through his mind.

Noticing that the Night Owl hasn"t blinked and was just staring at her lost in thought, Yu Sha started feeling uncomfortable. She hurriedly wrapped up her presentation and open up for questions.

Hue Chi"s thoughts pulled back as soon as Yu Sha finished. He does not have anything to discuss with them as everything seems to be executed flawlessly at this point.

Jake then asked everyone to get on the cart so they could do a drive through the site. Hue Chi, Long Kue and the two ladies all got up and followed Jake to the cart. The cart has three seat rows. Jake took the first row as he is driving the group. Su Na also took the first row on the pa.s.senger as she may need to guide the group. Hue Chi and Long Kue took the middle row while Yu Sha took the last row.

Jake drove the group along the north half first while Su Na explained, "We finished the frame of the lower and ground level. Going forward, the plan was to construct from middle going outward. As you can see, the first mile of each half is now constructed up to about floor 4. Constructing upward takes time, we thought it would be a better idea to construct the buildings one mile at a time. This way, we can share equipment and have supplies concentrated at one point for easy access. Then we can slowly move supplies and equipment as we move outward."

Yu Sha who was sitting in the very back row would occasionally stare at Hue Chi"s back. He also occasionally turned to his right to look at the construction site as they are on the paved road that was done the first few days. Yu Sha thought, how in the world did she saw that he was similar to the man in her dream a week ago. As much as she hated it, she has to admit the truth that he"s quite handsome, mystically handsome with an arrogant and distant airs around him. Yu Sha unconsciously let out a long sigh after she admitted the truth causing Hue Chi to turn around to look at her.

Yu Sha had her right arm on top of the back seat with her forearm dangling down while she perched her chin on top of her forearm as she stares off in the direction of the construction site. She wasn"t looking at the construction but gazed far off into the distant in that direction and was not aware that she was acting out her thought.


Hue Chi turned around and looked at the side profile of the depressed Yu Sha lost in her thoughts.

When Long Kue who sat next to to the Prince saw his Prince looked at Yu Sha with a gentle gaze, he was shocked and excited at the same time. Even though he only saw his Prince"s side profile, he can tell the look in the Prince"s eye. He never thought there would be a day when he saw a different expression of his Prince.

This is the day he has been waiting for! He was overwhelmed with shock and excitement before worries took over him. What would the whole Royal circle think if the Prince is interested in a commoner? As far as history could be traced back by proper doc.u.mentation and not by myth or legend, the Royal family always married another Royal or social elite, not commoners, let alone a commoners from another country. What would the political parties think? The social elites who have ties and connection to the Royal family would definitely disagreed with the preference of the Prince if he should ever be interested in a commoner.

Many of them have their own daughter whom they groomed to be potential Queen one day. They would be dead set against it if the Prince never give their daughter a chance. To be the leader of a nation is not so that ones can dictate their authority over the people but to shoulder responsibilities and decisions that make the people happy, especially to those who provide support for the royal family. Long Kue started to worry about the future of his Prince and unconsciously let out a big sigh as his energy became gloomy thinking too far ahead.

Hue Chi then slightly turned his head to glance at Long Kue. What is wrong with this guy too? Did the depression from Yu Sha rubbed onto Long Kue too? The Prince thought as he looked at Long Kue"s solemnly expression.
