Chapter 215 Worried For Him.
Zhou Liying ignored the first few missed calls to Mu Yuehan, thinking that he was busy. She placed her phone aside and got busy with her work.
But when she did not receive any call from him even after one hour, she felt restless. She knew Mu Yuehan and she knew; he was not going to miss the opportunity to talk with her over the phone.
She called him again, there was no reply. Worry and concern appeared in her heart. She panicked for his safety. She felt scared that something had happened to him.
She felt cursed because everyone she loved fell into an accident, leaving her alone in this world. First, her mother died in an accident when a car hit her. Then her maternal grandma and after that, her paternal grandmother too died in an accident.
"Where are you Mu Yuehan?" she was freaking out with each passing second. Her heart was beating fast in fear. There were unshed tears in her eyes. Her breathing was slow. Her hands were sweaty.
Her whole body was shivering with worry and fear. Her heart was sinking, imagining the worse scenarios. Her stomach was in knots.
She walked toward the window and opened it. She inhaled large gulps of breath, to calm down her anxiety. She was feeling panicky because of not receiving his call.
She was feeling distraught. She again tried to call him but again, it was not answered.
Was she a bad curse? Why does everyone who tried to get close to her, love her went away before she could feel loved?
She clutched the edge of the window in a tight grip. She closed her eyes, trying to be optimistic. She tried to control her heart which was worried for the safety of the person who was making his path in her heart.
'I am sure he is attending some meeting. Or maybe he wants to play with me by making me worried. He is testing my love for him. I should not be worried about him. He will be all right.'
'Even if he is not all right, then why should I care? I do not love him, right? I don't love him.'
Before she could answer her question, Min Yue entered her office. Zhou Liying had her face looking out from the window so Min Yue was not able to see her face.
"It's ten in the night. We should leave."
"You go, I still have some pending files to check. I will return home after completing them."
"But…" Min Yue was not ready to leave Zhou Liying alone.
"Go, don't worry about me. I am all good."
Min Yue nodded and left her office. Zhou Liying removed some tears drops from her face. She closed the window and returned to her work table. She opened her laptop and started to check some emails, to divert her mind away from the thoughts of Mu Yuehan.

"Todays' meeting was so long and tiring." Li Tao groaned and entered in the elevator with Mu Yuehan.
"It was, especially when I forgot my phone back in the office." Mu Yuehan mentally slapped his head for his foolishness. How could he so foolishly forget his phone in his office? Especially when he was going to another city for a meeting!
He knew he received lot of important work-related calls on his phone. Also, the calls of Zhou Liying. To add-in, if his phone was with him, he never felt bored in his meetings because he always sneakily looked at her photos, whenever feeling bored. Her photos were enough to energise him, throughout the meeting.
"Did she receive the car?" Mu Yuehan asked with a small smile on his lips, imagining her reaction on receiving the car.
"Ahem," Li Tao cleared his throat. "I don't know if she received the car or not, but one hour back, a private cruise arrived in your private dock. It is a gift from Miss Zhou."
Mu Yuehan's eyes brightened up in amusement. A happy laugh escaped his lips. Now he knew what she meant last night when she said it was only a compensation. Guess what, this cruise was return gift for his gift.
Yesterday, after ordering the car for Mu Yuehan, Zhou Liying made a call to her cruise making company. She asked them to transfer one of the cruises which were all ready to be hers, to be transferred to Mu's Dockyard in Shanghai.
"It seems to be one of the best mini cruise manufactured by Zhou corporations."
"Ask someone to live video call to me with the cruise. I want to see how it is."
"I will do it." Li Tao made few calls.
"It is dark now. Dock members will call you tomorrow."
Mu Yuehan entered in his office and picked up his phone. A smile appeared on his lips when he saw forty-six missed calls from Zhou Liying, all at a different time gap.
'Was she worried that I did not answer her call?'
With a pleasing smile, he made a call to Zhou Liying. Now it was his turn to panic when she did not answer his call. And after some time, he started to receive a message that her phone was not in range.
He frowned and dialled her number repeatedly. His heart was ready to leap out from his chest in fear. A fearful frown appeared in between his brows. He made his way toward the elevator, freaking out for Zhou Liying.
Without wasting any second, he called Min Yue, "where is Lili?"
"She is in the office. Why? Did something happen?" She sat up with concern in her voice.
"Nothing happened. She is not answering my call. So, I thought of calling you."
"Oh."
Mu Yuehan ended the call with her and dialled the number of the landline in her phone. It rang and rang, but no one answered.
His heart stopped beating for a second. Many worst and negative scenarios came in his mind. He remembered how there was a threat to her. What if someone was able to harm her?
He was cursing himself for not taking his phone with him. What if she was calling him not because she missed him but because she was in a danger.
Damn it!
He tried her phone, repeatedly and when it was connected, he released a sigh of relief when he heard her voice, before getting barbaric at her.
But the next words which came from her mouth, in a fragile voice, stopped his heart from beating, "Han…. save…mee...."
