At the press conference:

Everybody was quite stumped with the CEO's ringtone.They had lost their train of thoughts and did not know what to ask anymore.Outside the conference room was a different matter.All female employees were swooning and claiming that their CEO was the best and most romantic.They just knew that such a great man could not stab anyone.

Inside the conference room:

The phone had stopped ringing by the time a.s.sistant Yang handed it to Ryu. Taking the offending piece nonchalantly,Ryu pointed to the earlier reporter to continue the question.The 2nd reporter looked a little lost and said,"Uh....I had meant to ask if the marriage was love or arranged but I... umm I guess that would be considered a stupid question now...."The reporters all nodded their heads inwardly and not dared to ask any question.But everyone was now even more curious."Who was this 'normal' Madam Long?She had not only tied down the Typhoon but also made him 'a boy with love'.After this the press conference was winded down and somehow everyone had a smile on their face.

n.o.body knew what to say to their bosses after this fiasco...

In the hospital room:

Maniacal laughter could be heard coming from the room.Neil Long had just reached the hospital to visit his friend and seen the savage way his 'poor' brother was treated.Taking out his phone,he texted,"How are you doing,Mr boy with love?"

Alicia who was tired of hearing Neil laugh maniacally,turned her head to glare at him."Get out, Neil.Here I am worried sick that I have gone and fallen in love with your brother and you are irritating me with your laughter."

Neil's laughter was cut off mid way when he heard Alicia's rant and he was at a loss for words.It had been his dearest that these two people fall in love but now that it was happening he did not know how to react.With a big smile he declared,"that is a good thing isn't it?Why are you irritated?You are falling in love with your OWN husband and not someone else's!"

Turning sharply to stare at Neil,Alicia answered,"the problem is that he needs to fall in love with his wife as well!"

"Stupid!Didn't he just declare that he loves you?"

"That was me.I was angry at him so I changed his ringtone."Replied a glum looking Alicia.

Neil stared at his once intelligent but now dumb friend and said,"Al,are you trying to test my brother?by being bratty?If you are then keep doing it and you will know that my brother has the patience of a saint when it comes to those he calls his own.He may not say the words but you will hear them clearly. Ok?"

With this Neil decided to leave her alone so that she would have time to sort her thoughts.With a one hand hug and a ruffle of her hair,Neil bid Alicia goodbye.

Bored with Neil's departure and feeling antsy,Alicia rang the bell on the bedside and waited for Nurse Mo to come.Once Nurse Mo had entered,Alicia said,"Nurse Mo,I am feeling cooped up and the rain has just stopped so the weather is fresh.Could you take me for a round in the garden below stairs?"

"Of course Madam."With that nurse Mo came and helped Alicia to sit on a wheel chair.Soon they were at the elevator and then out in the open.Nurse Mo pushed Alicia's wheel chair towards a peaceful corner where there was a patio set up.Feeling the tranquility and the smell of fresh mud after the first shower of rain brought a small smile to Alicia's face."Nurse Mo,please order a cup of cappuccino for me.It has been a while since I had lunch."Nurse Mo left with a bow.Nurse Mo felt that this patient was very good and did not make too many extravagant demands like many other spoiled madams.

As Alicia enjoyed the air and peace,she was not aware of another set of eyes following her movements.A young man wearing black b.u.t.toned up s.h.i.+rt and blue jeans,approximately the same age as Alicia was staring at the woman.As he looked,he was mesmerized by her beauty once again.Last when he had seen her,her face had been haggard and skin pale.She had been lifeless but still beautiful.But now she was glowing.Gone was the matted hair and down turned lips.This woman looked like the essence of beauty with a gentle smile. Without being able to control his feet,he walked towards the beauty.As he went closer he observed that she was sitting on a wheel chair.For a minute he was worried but then noticed her bandaged leg and realized that the situation was temporary.By now he had reached her wheel chair and was standing in front of it.Alicia looked at the pair of legs that turned up in front of her,ready to greet whoever was standing there.Looking at the face of the man,the smile on her face disappeared as if never there and she turned her head to look the other way.

"h.e.l.lo.How are you doing?",the stranger asked.

"Who are you?What do you want?"
