The silence was so profound that is a pin were to fall, it's descent would echo like a whispered secret in the still air .
Zhenya decided to break the silence.
" Thank you for making time to return phone. You could have sent it by driver"
Yuan Zi is thinking how to keep her by his side . He doesn't like the idea of her be with another man. Completely forgot his resolve to stay away from her. Before he could stop himself, a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
" Zhenya" said with his deep voice.
" Yes?!" She replied with mesmerized by him.
" Come over"
She stand up and goes to his side.
" Look, this is limited edition watch I brought. How is it? "
He takes off his watch. He extended his hand to show her , but just before she could take it , he purposely dropped it.
" Clatter!!!"
Zhenya froze in shock - she had just broken his limited edition watch!!!!!

"I....m , I'm sorry! I...I didn't mean to broke it. "
He looked down at the shattered remains of his watch. Look at her a mischievous smile playing on his face.
"Oh no" he drawled, feigning despair.
" That was my favorite watch"
Her eyes widened with guilt ad without hesitation she blurted out.
" I ... I'll compensate for it"
He chuckled, tilting his head as he stand up and step closer, his gaze locking onto hers.
"Oh ? "
" And how exactly do you plan to do that?"
" Just give me few months, no no few years. I'll definitely pay you back."
" And why will I give you so much time? I'll give you a chance to pay me back. But you have to be my assistant for some time". He said his gaze is still on her eyes.
"What!!!!!!??". Her eyes widened
"You heard me right . I happened to need assistance. Old one went in his house. He won't be able to back for time being "
"Okay"
A satisfied smile appear on his face. They finish eating.
Before leaving Yuan Zi asked her to add him as friend on WeChat.
At home, Zhenya could not believe she broke her idol 's watch. And now she is going to be his assistant.
"Sigh!"
" What a horrible day! Oh no it can be blessings in disguise" - she muttered .
"Zhenya!"
"Come here, your sister is going back. " Her mom Called.
" Coming "
She ascended the stairs, her foot steps light yet purposeful as she glance back at the door. Downstairs, Ruiya was preparing to leave, little boy clutching her hand tightly. His curious eyes glancing around the room one last time. The house seems quiter with each passing moment. The sound of the little boy's giggles fading as they disappear into distance. She couldn't help but feel a twinge of longing, watching her family head home.
