Narrator

Liana woke up and got ready for work. She reached there right on time to her desk and internally clapped for getting there on time.

"Where were you yesterday?" One of her colleague asked her as soon as she sat on her chair.

"I went to do something for the company." Liana explained while taking out things from her bag.

"You missed the food yesterday. It was so good. We were awarded lunch by the team leader for doing the best so far. We really missed you." Her colleague, Cassie said.

"Aww...Did I missed that one? It was suppose to be my first lunch with the group." Liana said.

"I know, right! You can rest assure we will be having another one soon because Mr. Lee is throwing a house warming party soon. He moved to a new apartment recently and he said he will treat us in the office or outside depending on us." Cassie said smiling.

"Wow. I should congratulate him."

"Yup. He said he is inviting all of us because we are all like his family." Cassie smiled. "His wife invited us to their house. They moved because they wanted enough space for their first baby."

"I see. What gifts are you taking with you?" Liana asked.

"I am not sure. The team leader said that we all will contribute to buy a gift and we can separately buy gifts if we want to. I was planning to buy something for the new born baby that is coming." Cassie squeal.

"Do let me know when you go shopping. I will tag along." Liana said.

"Actually, I am just buying it from online." Cassie said sheepishly. "The store are so advance now that they do delivery in like 3-5 business days depending on where you stay and if there is any issue you can go to any of their store, get refunds or another item. It saves a lot of time and it is very hard for me to go shopping when I have another part time job in the weekends."

"You work part time too?" Liana said pretty surprise because she thought that Cassie was paid well seeing the clothes collection she have.

"Technically yes and no. My older sister just started a restaurant few months back and I help her during the weekend. It gets real busy in the weekend."

"I see." Liana said pretty impressed. "Isn't It Tiring?"

"I am helping her until I feel that she doesn't need my help. She have staffs, but I am around so that she feels better. This is the first business she started on her own."

" I see. I hope you take care too." Liana said.

"Thank you and maybe you can stop by at the restaurant. She makes the best dumplings. Not that like I am lying or proud but our team leader really liked it and she stops by often after she ate once." Cassie said very proudly. "It is very near to the office which is why you will see many employees there. The store is near the first intersection when you exit the round about. It is called Dumplinglicios. We make different kinds of Dumplings and buns."

"I will for sure visit the place."

"Thank you." Cassie said smiling.

Liana's day went by really quickly and it was finally time for her to home. She didn't hear much from Oliver and she was not expecting any call from him. She wondered how he was doing and when she realized what she was thinking she smacked herself lightly.

"What the heck were you thinking?" She thought to herself. She saw the bus coming and quickly went to catch the bus.

When she arrived at her home. She saw a man wearing black suit in her door and was very cautious and scare. The man was holding something on his hand and was looking around until he spot her and came forward and greeted her.

"Hi, you are Ms Liana Parker?" He asked.

"Yea?" Liana said very cautiously. She didn't know what to do and was hoping her neighbours will hear her when she call out for help. If the situation will lead over there

I was sent here to delivery some foods for you." He said holding bags "These are home made food cooked by professionals."

"May I know who is this from?" Liana asked.

"I was told to not reveal my boss's name and was told to strictly just send the food and make sure you will eat them." He said with no emotions.

"I am not sure if I can accept those without knowing who sent these."

"The person I can assure you is someone you know and we mean no harm. I am a guard and protector and I have an ID for it. You can trust me." The man said as he handed her the bag and then left. "Goodnight Miss and I am leaving my card here just in case you need my help."

He quickly left Liana standing there looking at the bag.

"Who could these food be from?" She thought to herself as she walked in to her house.
