Jessica sat on her chair still in a daze. She tapped her phone on her chin still in deep thought. She was bought to reality by a knock on the door. After it, Amy entered the room with a mischevious smile.

"Boss! How was your birthday last night after we left you two alone?" She teased her boss. She was aware of the proposal as she was the one to help Steve decorate the room and bring the delivery of the ring.

Jessica looked up at the grinning Amy. Her eyes narrowed sharply. "I could not believe my best friend betrayed me for a handsome man!" she said, her voice as cold as ice. Amy gulped. This was the second time she had heard Jessica use such a cold tone to talk. She lowered her head as she was too afraid to meet her gaze.

"No, I just thought... I... That you will be happy so... I" Amy said still uneasy to talk freely. "Hahaha..." she heard laughter from her front. Jessica sat on her chair as she laughed at her expressions. Amy looked confused.

"I just wanted to tease you don't take it to heart. I am impressed by your decorations. Why don't you become a party organizer? I happy that at least someone still cares for my happiness." Jessica smiled at Amy.

"Of course, not only me Steve also wants to see you happy. He had carefully planned your surprise. You know how nervous he was when he was planning it all out. Especially when it was time for you to come home. He looked so adorable and cute when we were waiting for you. He looked at the door each second excepting you to come soon. I hope I can have such a husband too..." Any said as her eyes were filled with adoration for them.

"So, you wanna steal him?" Jessica teased her. "No, he is not in love with me. Even if I want to steal him he would not let you go." Amy teased her back. She clicked her tough and facepalmed herself showing that she was upset.

"Okay, enough of these. Get to work I still have to finish my designs for the show." Jessica said as she opened her drawer to bring out her drawing booklets. "Oh Yes! Have you made your wedding dress? Can I see it?" Amy asked as her eyes glimmered with excitement.

"You can see it... But on the wedding day. Now go back to work and call me in lunchtime." Jessica said as she lowered her head and continued to work on her designs. Amy too silently left the room so she could work in peace.

When it was time for lunch Amy went to call for Jessica. She knocked on the door and didn't dare enter before asked because once she had done so only to be faced by an angry Jessica.

After a few minutes, there was still no response so Amy knocked on the door once again. And there was still no reply so Amy decided to go inside.

She dug out Jessica's phone from the pile of papers and looked for Steve's number. She clicked a picture of the sleeping kitten and sent it on his number.

After a while, the whole room was shaken with a ringtone. The silence was disturbed and Jessica stood up instantly. She looked at Amy who was equally shocked before snatching her phone from Amy's hand. It was a call from Steve's number.

"Hello!" It was a woman's voice. Jessica's heart shivered but she still calmed down and replied, "May I know who is this speaking?"

"May I talk to the wife of Mr Smith?" The caller asked. "Yes, I am. What happened and who are you?" Jessica asked her voice trembled a bit. She had an uneasy feeling in her heart and the next words of the caller broke her heart into millions... no billions of pieces.

"Madam, your husband was in an accident. He is critically injured and may need surgery. If you can come to the First help hospital we can do the surgery. Please come as soon as possible so the surgery could take place. Maybe... Maybe your husband will not be able to survive."

The instant these words escaped the phone speaker Jessica became numb and collapsed on the ground. Tears fall down her cheeks as she blankly stared at the floor. Amy kneeled down to support her and make her sit on the chair as she passed down a glass of water to her. She was sure whatever the call was for it was for no good.

When Jessica was calmed she took Amy to the parking lot. She asked her driver to drive her to the First help hospital as her heart was going mad to see him. On the way, she explained the situation to Amy who became equally worried.

When they reached the nurse guided them to the emergency centre where stood outside Steve's assistant.
