Zhan POV

Either I was being paranoid or Bianca seemed nervous on the flight to New York, I didn't ask or probe for information so I just dismissed it. I had to focus on business if I was going to have a chance at surviving this weekend. I already missed Yibo terribly; he and I have been flying all over the country in this jet. It didn't feel right that he was not here.

"Oh you also have a gala event on the upper west side tomorrow evening." Bianca said bringing me out of my thoughts. I shook my head "Cancel that one, and give my invitation away." I said; I wasn't in a party mood at all. She nodded typing on her laptop "Did you want me to book a different hotel?" she asked eyeing me carefully.

"I hate hotels, I'll stay at my apartment." I reminded her, she bit her red lip "Your apartment is being renovated remember?" she said nervously, I didn't understand her apprehension.

"Its this weekend?" I asked, I was sure I had her book it for another time, I must've forgotten. She nodded "But I already booked you a suite at the Mark hotel, the same one I'm staying at. I figured it would be easier if I were close by..." She blabbed on. I silenced her with my hand "Its fine Bianca" I said.

In an hour we landed at JFK airport, a limo waited to take us to Manhattan.

After checking in the hotel, I went straight to my suite. Glad to see that Bianca booked a presidential suite. I was too tired to go anywhere so I took a shower and got into my pajamas. I stood by the large window overlooking Central Park and checked my phone. It was weird that Yibo didn't try to contact me relax; it's only been a day I thought to myself.

He'll call me when he wants to, until then I should focus on business; I chuckled in spite of myself. Easier said than done, I already felt like a homesick puppy. I guess the pet analogy was more correct than I thought; I shook my head and went to bed.

The following day I left to go meet uncle Zhu. We met at a restaurant to talk about our game plan for when we met the Jenkins brothers tomorrow. Uncle Zhu and I, along with G- Industries' best lawyers and financial directors discussed the deal and how it can be profitable for both companies. 

We wanted this deal bad and there was no room for error. We even inquired from our branch in the UK and Japan, my Aunt Yu and my obnoxious cousin Xuan all seemed adamant to close it. Unfortunately when it involved big deals like this we had to inform the rest of the family.

After the meeting, everyone said their goodbyes and left, uncle Zhu and I ordered coffee and talked. "How is aunt?" I asked, my uncle's wife was a sweet woman; she played the mother figure in my life very well. He smiled "She's well, she sends her apologies for not being able to come." He said. I smiled waving my hand dismissively "That's alright, send her my love." I said, "Maybe after this deal has blown over I'll fly up to visit." I added.

He nodded "Bring Yibo too, she'd love to meet him" he said, "How is he by the way?" He asked taking another sip. I nodded too "He's fine, I'm sure he'd love that too." I said, His eyes narrowed.

"I thought you'd bring him with you." He pointed out "You miss him." I chuckled sheepishly "He has his job, besides when he's around I can't get any work done." I said frowning a little. Uncle Zhu laughed out loud and I joined him.


Later that evening I got impatient and decided to call Yibo; I pulled out my phone and dialed his number. "Hello" he said, I smiled, hearing his soft voice was comforting, "Hey little one, I feel neglected." I teased.

"Zhan" he exclaimed obviously excited "Neglected, why?"

"Why haven't you called me? I was starting to think you don't miss me," I said keeping the teasing in my voice. He paused a little "I miss you like I breathe...I didn't want to disturb you, I know you're busy and..." he went on and I shook my head "Yibo" I said to stop him "You're my fiancé, I'm never too busy for you." I added. "And you're forgetting one thing love"
