Roger sighed upon hearing her denial. "Helin, here's the thing. I already know." He added indifferently, "All my work plans have been cancelled. If everything is alright like you said, this shouldn't have happened."
"What?" She didn't even know what he was talking about. "Oh my god, he's gone too far."
Helin consoled Roger, "Don't worry. I am going to talk about this matter with my father right now!
"Helin." He stopped her. "Don't, Helin. I'm actually alright with this whole arrangement. I've always been busy at the company, so I'm taking the chance to get some rest for a few days."
Roger heaved a deep sigh and added, "The only thing I worry about is you. I want to know if you are alright. Did your father scold you?"
Helin was happy to hear his concern for her. She couldn't understand why Heron just couldn't accept Roger for who he was -- he was perfect in her eyes.
She put aside feeling bad for him and merely answered, "Don't worry. I'm fine, really.
He won't punish me harshly, even if he thinks I've made a mistake. He's my father."
"Okay, then." Roger let out a sigh of relief. "I've booked a ticket to fly out tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
Helin wanted to go with him, of course, but in light of what just happened, she had to refuse. She smiled resentfully and answered, "Sorry, I just can't right now, with this whole situation going on. Have fun, though, you deserve the break. When you come back, I hope everything gets settled."
"I do hope so," Roger sighed. "Anyway, it's late now. Time to go to bed. Off you go. Good night."
As soon as he hung up the phone, the cold sneer made its way to his face.
Meanwhile, in BM Corporation, the work in Shining Company was over, and all the models were heading back.
Sue, however, didn't show up the first day after their return.
Sheryl thought she would be able to offer Sue some more help or support, but she lost her chance.
Sue's absence also piqued Holley's curiosity, so she made sure to ask Sheryl about it after work.
"Sher, do you know why Sue didn't come today?"
Sheryl shook her head, concern on her face. "What happened to her?"
Holley pouted. "I worry about her. I called her a bunch of times this morning, but she didn't pick up once." She arched a brow at the other. "Sher, you're her neighbor and best friend, so I hope you can go and find out how she is. And please let me know how she is when you do, I just want to make sure she's alright."
"But I…" She wanted to tell Holley that she had already moved, but she was interrupted.
"Okay? Please just check on her. I have to deal with some business, so I've got to go now." She smiled and added, "Call me when you see her so I can stop worrying, okay?"
And she left before Sheryl could react.
She was speechless, and all she could do was sigh. She was worried about Sue, so she decided to give her a visit.
