"Should we inform Madam?"

"Are you insane? Did you forget that Madam has been out for some important business and has especially asked us to not disturb her during this time?"

"But Young Miss has kept herself locked up since last evening and also, in the past few days we have hardly seen her coming out from the room. What if something wrong happens to her? Who would take the blame?"

Servants whispered among themselves as the lines of tension and worry covered their forehead. Everyone knew that it was a big issue, but no one had any solution to it. While they were panicking over things, someone from them suddenly asked.

"Will Secretary Lillian not come? I have not seen her for quite some days now. If she comes, she might be a way to get Young Miss open the door."

"I have called her earlier but I am not too sure that she would come, given how she got dismissed the last time she was here."

Other replied looking skeptical of the things. The butler heard everyone before again turning to softly knock at the door. But like every other time, the door didn't open on his knocks.

Right at that moment, Lillian came rushing. "What's happening here? Has Ms. Zhang yet not opened the door?"

The servants took a breath of relief. Turning to look at the woman, they urgently shook their heads, while the butler came forward to say, "Not yet, Ms. Lillian. Please do something. Madam is not at home and if she returns and sees the situation in such a dire state, I fear not just me, every other person here might lose their job for being incapable."

Lillian looked at the butler and felt bad for him. Her eyes then trailed to look at the door. "Don't worry, let me call her and see. Maybe she is just not in the right mood to come out yet. By the way, did she have her breakfast in the morning?"

The butler shook his head. "Nope. We have brought the breakfast but she had not opened the door to take it." He said and at his words, Lillian frowned.

Not had the breakfast! That means she must have not had her medicines yet. What was she even planning to do? Does she even know that if she doesn't take the medicine how worse her situation would get?

Terrified with the thought internally, Lillian didn't delay more. Instead, walking straight up to her room, she knocked at the door. "Ms. Zhang, are you alright? We are all here worried for you. Please open the door. Ms. Zhang! Ms. Zhang!" She called but no response came.

People grew more worried, while the assistant thought of every possibility that might have happened with the girl inside the room. Thinking of it, her face grew pale as desperately fidgeting through her purse, she pulled out her phone to dial the number.

The ring went through and she could hear the phone ringing inside the room, but there seemed no one picking it up. That further scared her and knocking on the door, she once again called, "Xiaotong, what are you doing? Are you alright? Open the door. Allow me to come in, please." She urged, but still, no other reply come from inside.

But at that moment, someone's else voice interrupted from a distance. And that voice at once made everyone stiffen on their stance. "What's happening here? Why is everyone standing here, out the door of Xiaotong's room?"

It was Zhang Qian Lan who has come from her business trip. Her schedule got over early, so she didn't take long in returning back. She knew her daughter was a mess now and in a situation like this, she doesn't want to leave her alone to create bigger troubles.

But little did she expect that no longer how she speeds up, she could no longer save the trouble that has already been created. Her eyes looked at the assistant first before trailing to look at the closed door of the room and then at the group of servants that were standing out.

"Madam!" The servants greeted bowing their heads, but none of their heads rose up to answer her question.

Zhang Qian Lan looked at their struggling expression and her expressions turned cold. "I have asked something. Is there no one to answer me here?" Her voice hinting the underlying aggression. "Lillian, I am asking you. Tell me why everyone is here like this? And why is Zhang Xiaotong not opening the door and answering your calls? What is happening here?"

Lillian stared at the lady and didn't know how she should answer her. She had a lot to tell but nothing felt suitable for the moment. But at this moment, her concern was also not something small. Zhang Xiaotong was inside the locked room and she doesn't have any idea of what she was up to. What if …

Before Lillian could think more, she shook her head and shrugged off the thoughts as if denying to believe them.

Nope, Lillian. You can't hide it more. You should reveal it all to the lady right at the moment before it gets too late. The assistant thought internally and was about to open her mouth to say it all when her words paused hearing the creak of the door beside her. Her eyes desperately turned to look, ignoring all the thought of revelation she had in her mind before.

"Xiaotong! Are you fine?" She asked, looking at the girl finally appear at the door.

Zhang Xiaotong looked at her and nodded.. Before turning to every else to say, "It's still early in the morning. Why are you all standing here like this? Don't you have your works to do?"
