12 The room

While Li Qiang was smiling when he got out of their elevator. He patiently waited for Elsa to came by. After two minutes Elsa arrived. Li Qiang opened the door for Elsa and then he sat. As the driver drove the car on the whole journey no one talked. Elsa continued enjoying the view out from the windows and Li Qiang continued reviewing the paper.

In the front of Li Qiang, Secretary Kim felt something quite weird in the atmosphere. He saw both of them at the back was not saying anything. But he didn't say anything as he saw a quite satisfying smile lingering on his boss's face.

They reached the Rhodes Mansion after 30 minutes ride from the hospital. As they reached the mansion's front gate the security guard approached them. Inside the car, Elsa rolled down the window and said "Let us through Mr.Security" with a smile on her face. Seeing the young miss the security guard quickly opened the door. Beside her, Li Qiang thought this girl was brought up in a huge mansion with all the luxury still she respect a mere security guard. Indeed she is capable of being a Li headmistress.

As they approached the mansion theElsa, Li Qiang, and Secretary Kim got down from the car.

They were greeted by the Butler Leo. Butler Leo saw his young miss and a man walking by her side, he thought they look both great for a couple. Butler Leo smiled and said"Young miss and Mr.Li welcome to Rhodes Mansion, Master has informed your arrival before to me. Young miss, he has instructed you to go and have some rest in your room. And Master want to talk with Mr.Li. Elsa nodded and went in her room while Mr.Li was guided to study room by Butler Leo.

When Elsa reached her room, she hesitated first to open the door. She moved out of the mansion she was just ten years old. Going back to the same room with all the memories of her mom. It was quite difficult for her. Though she missed her and thought about her death made her cry. After all these year she never came to this room though she visited the mansion to meet her dad she never came to this room. She felt her heart heavy. She thought maybe the room must be changed, the toys must be given to someone, maybe the room must have been renovated. Elsa slowly opened the door and saw everything was like before the pink bed,the dollhouse,, the white walls, the dressing table with all her things, nothing changed after all these years she slowly entered the room and saw that behind the bed there was some candy wrapper, a tiny comb, a ring and some broken piece of glass vase.

A series of memories came in front of her mind. She remembered the day her mother died she hid behind the bed and started crying when everyone started finding her after a lot of effort her father found her behind the bed crying when he found her and came towards her she threw the glass vase towards him and started crying again and said she don't want to live here. That day her father decided to let her live somewhere else.A series of tears started coming from her eyes.

As Elsa was drowned in her emotions a voice came behind her "When you left the mansion Master personally kept the room cleaned and kept the room like it was earlier,he never touched those piece in remembrance of yours. " said housemaid Olivia. He instructed me to take care of you and inform him about every little thing. After you moved he was in so much pain watching you like this. He missed the innocent laugh which echoed in this mansion. After you left even the maid and Butler Leo were sad to see you like that. You know you have changed a lot after the incident you abruptly matured and never showed the innocent side which we missed."

With saying this housemaid Olivia left the room and closed the door. She felt sad for her miss to see like this after all it was more difficult for Elsa to went through who was just ten years

After housemaid Olivia said all these Elsa cried out. It was also difficult for her to be normal again. She cannot meet her mother again. She, her mother and father cannet go to picnics like before. She also misses her previous self. She cried her heart out she slept on the bed with her legs close to her chest.

Li Qiang reached the study room and he opened the door Mr. Rhodes welcomed him and made him sat on the sofa comfortably. They talked about the business long then suddenly they interrupted by the knock on the door.

Housemaid Olivia entered and said "Master young miss she went into the room, she saw everything and started crying. I told her everything ."

Mr.Rhodes "Hmm Thank you it was necessary to tell her. How is she now?"

Olivia"Master she fell asleep crying. She was calling Mistress name. "

Mr.Rhodes "Hmm, et her sleep and if she wants something to take care of it."

Olivia " Yes Master"

Olivia bowed and left the room.

In the front of Mr. Rhodes Li Qiang were confused about what was going? Why Elsa was crying and what was necessary to tell her. He saw Mr. Rhodes was not going to explain he also didn't ask him. It was between Elsa and his father. He was in no position to ask these things right now.

Mr. Rhodes acted as nothing happened and continued discussing the business.

In the evening she woke up from her sleep. She saw it was 5 pm. She freshenedherself up and changed the clothes. She opened the door and went downstairs and saw no one around. Elsa thought maybe Li Qiang left after his meeting with his dad. Suddenly she heard some sniffing sound of dogs. She went towards the garden and saw two beagles.
