Donmackpany was making arrangements to receive the new fashion designer. Their joy knew no bounds when she finally epted the contract.


    “Is everything ready?” the manager asked his secretary.


    “Yes sir. Everything is set.”


    “I hope the hotel has been booked and they have been informed she will be arriving today? And where is the driver?”


    “He is waiting outside sir. I made sure I supervised the booking sir. Everything is all set.”


    Donmackpany was doing everything within their power not to lose the fashion designer. They got her an apartment where she was going to stay for two or three weeks throughout the duration of her work.


    “Nice. Tell Mr. Zade to go with the driver to pick her. She will arrive at the airport any time soon.”


    “Alright sir.”


    Emily looked at her son seated beside her in the ne. His initial excitement gave way to nature and he fell asleep. Even while sleeping, he was still smiling. It seemed travelling out of China to the USA was the perfect summer holiday for him.


    A week ago, Gu Yanxi had persuaded her to take her son along.


    shback:


    Emily was seated in her room packing her clothes in readiness for the journey when Gu Yanxi came in. Her travel documents were on the bed.


    “Emily,” she called softly.


    “Yes?”


    “How long will you be away?”


    “Emm, maybe two weeks. At most, three weeks. Is there a problem?”


    “Not at all. I was thinking you should take Liam.”


    Emily studied her for a while.


    “And why will you think so?”


    Gu Yanxi sat on the bed and held her close.


    “It’s summer break. Let him travel with you and enjoy his vacation. He will remember it all his life. Let him leave China on a vacation. Moreover, you need to take him to his roots. You might find his father.”


    “Father? Common Yanxi. How am I supposed to find his father?”


    “Somehow, you will. If you want to. One day, he will ask about his father again and you will have to tell him what he needs to know. Go to the USA with him and luck may shine on you. You might spot his father.”


    “Find his father and what next? Hand him over to his father ande back without him? I don’t want to find his father anymore. We are happy the way we are.”


    “Okay. I will just leave. I didn’t mean to upset you. But please, give it a rethink.”


    She did give it a rethink and decided to take him along. She didn’t want to bother Gu Yanxi with his upkeep and a holiday in another country wasn’t a bad idea.


    Mr. Zade and the driver waited for the fashion designer to arrive.


    A mother and son pair walked out of the arrival hall with their travelling bags. They were the centre of attention. They looked lovely and stood out in the crowd. Most people couldn’t help but stare twice before going about their business.


    “What a lovely boy!” a middle aged womanmented.


    “That’s probably his mum or something. She’s pretty too. Such a nice family. They are adorable,” herpanion joined in.


    She couldn’t stop herself from appreciating such beauty.


    Emily smiled when she heard that. Liam was her carbon copy. So, why not? He was very handsome. Although he had a few physical features that were not simr to hers, he looked more like her than his father. He only had his father’s character, brain and probably physique. Staring at her son made here to a conclusion that his father must be a really handsome and perfect guy in all ramifications.


    “Wow! Mummy, this ce is so beautiful. This wasn’t the ce wended when we came for thepetition. Do they have other airports?”


    “Yes, they do. They have so many.”


    “Mummy, can I see them? Can you take me there whenever you are free?”


    “Of course my baby. I will.”


    “And other interesting ces too.”


    Emily didn’t answer because she was looking around for the driver that was assigned to pick her.


    Meanwhile, Mr. Zade spotted her and said to the driver,


    “That must be her; Butterfly designs. Let’s go and find out.”


    “Good day Miss.”


    “Good day too.”


    “Good afternoon Mister,” Liam greeted politely. Mr. Zade was impressed at the polite and respectful attitude of a little boy of that age.


    “How are you boy?”


    “I am fine sir.”


    “Are you Miss Muxin of Butterfly Designs?”


    “Yes, I am. And you are?”


    Mr. Zade pulled his business card out of his breast pocket and showed it to her.


    “Mr. Zade, the personnel manager of Donmack designerspany. Nice to meet you. You are highly wee.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    “Thank you.”


    The driver took the bags from her and led the way to the car.


    Throughout the drive, Liam was looking out of the window and observing the environment. He smiled asionally in contentment. He was already enjoying the ce.


    Emily on her own part was trying to rx. She was back in the country and city she left five years ago. Her only constion was that she didn’t return the same. Instead, she became a better person. She returned happier, richer, sessful and more beautiful.


    Her son was happy to be here. Little did he know that this was the city that caused his dear mother pain for twenty two years of her life. Her family probably thought she was dead or even if they considered her alive, they didn’t remember her anymore.


    “I am back as a different person and I must make every moment I spend here count. That joy and happiness I longed for, I will get it to the fullest now. Yanxi is right. I need to free myself from the past and be happy. I am a new Emily now,” she said to herself and smiled. She felt better afterwards.


    The car pulled to a halt in front of Donmack designerspany. They alighted and she discreetly studied the environment. Her eyes fell on a man standing near a car and she froze.
