By the time Jina woke up, Chan had already ordered breakfast for both of them. She sat up and saw Chan already dressed in his usual style and checking his laptop. He seemed busy. But under the morning sunlight, he had an irresistible charm. The way he occasionally picked up his coffee cup, noted something on his files and adjusted his sleeves, were really eye pleasing. Jina was lost in the scene she saw first after opening her eyes. Chan noticed Jina’s expression and smiled at her. That was remarkable. Jina had never seen Chan this pleasant or attractive before. She was awed by his smile with an opened mouth. “Are you still dreaming?” Chan asked while typing in something in his laptop. He was busy with his works, but was still meticulous about everything related to Jina. “No… Good morning…,” Jina said with an awkward smile. “Hm… morning, if you say so. But it’s already ten o’clock. I have work and you are coming with me. So hurry and get ready,” Chan replied without even raising h

“What the hell do you mean?” Leo Sun shouted at Chan.“I mean what I said. I told you I will settle the scores personally. So here I am, taking over your precious company. If you don’t know to behave, then I will snatch everything you have.” Chan replied arrogantly.“We had the deal with Lichen Consortium. Then why are you acting as if you own everything? I want to meet Neil Lichen this instant. We will talk about this with him.” Duo Sun said with determination. He was not ready to give up his rights on his company, just like that.Chan laughed and nodded his head, pitying on the foolishness of Duo and Leo Sun.“Can you take care of the rest, Mr. P?” Chan asked Mr. P, so that he could leave with Jina.Mr. P said, “Yes, Boss. You may leave now.”Chan nodded and took Jina’s hand and made his leave. On the way out, he paused to warn Leo, “Jina is my woman. If you dare touch her again, I will make sure that you aren’t alive for the next day. Take this as your last warning.”More than Leo,

Chan excused Mr. P and drove the car by himself. He brought Jina to the hill famous for sightseeing. It was already evening and Chan planned to see the sunset at the hilltop. It had twelve hair pin bends and Chan was careful to not make Jina nauseous during the whole travel.Jina was silent all along the journey.

1 “A lie is a curse that you put on yourself. A curse that makes you remember your words forever,” a sweet voice echoed in Chan’s ears. He shook that thought out of his head and laid back on his chair staring at the false ceiling of the office. “Her words pop out at the most inappropriate times. Seems she is the curse on me,” he mumbled to himself and took a deep breathe. He straightened back in his chair and mailed the file he has been checking, to the chairman. Then he collected the papers that had been spread around on his table, put them in a file and went to see the chairman. The Lilac Works was an emerging entertainment company that primarily focused on casting actors and cosmetic products on the sideline. The company had a history of only few years and was still struggling to compete with the giants in the field. In the middle of losing profits, the company was now under auditing for fraudulent t

2 They drove to the nearby shopping mall that Anaya and her friends frequented and parked in the underground parking lot. As they walked towards the entrance to the mall, a group of five approached them. Chan could recognize the company as Ron and his gang. Ron Hailey was the second son of Hailey Constructions that ruled the real estate and constructions sector in the whole Ochre city. His friends were also from influential families that were not to be trifled with. It seemed that they were waiting for Anaya. As they came face to face with each other, Ron scanned Anaya in a frivolous manner and said, “Lucky that you are a beautiful girl and I don’t beat such sweet faces. But you harmed one of us and I don’t like to delay settling scores. So your friend stays and you are free to go.” He tapped Anaya’s chin lightly with a smirk and pulled Chan by his collar. Anaya reacted and grabbed on to Chan’s hand, trying

3 The handsome face of Chan was now purple on one side and he had bruises all over his body. He stood at the entrance of the mansion and saw that the garden was in full bloom with purple lilac flowers. When he left three days before, the plants weren’t in bloom. Now it was a purple show, so was his body. He strained himself to walk through the hallway and lounge to reach the stairs. It was an old fashioned mansion with cellar and attic. It had huge hallways and corridors along with big wooden furnished stairs spiraling its way up. The whole mansion still maintained its old furnishing and decorations which made it look like a cursed castle from ancient times. And unknown to him a figure in the shadow of a pillar was watching his struggles. Chan only remembered reaching his room and he fell into a deep sleep the next moment. The work and injuries along the analgesics pushed him into an unconscious state. Anaya and

1 Chan woke up only at five o’clock in the next morning. After a deep sleep he felt relieved but famished at the same time. He hadn’t had a proper meal since yesterday morning and now his stomach was revolting because of that. He got freshened up and went to the kitchen to find some food. On the way, he looked at the closed door at the end of the hallway for a moment and then continued walking. It was still early for anyone to wake up and the whole mansion had an eerie silence. When he reached the kitchen, he saw nanny Shu already busy in her works. He went to the fridge to look for something to eat but was stopped by nanny Shu’s words, “Cold food will be bad for you now, young master.” Chan turned around with an awkward smile and said, “Good morning nanny Shu!” “A very good morning to you too, young master! I was waiting for you to wake up. This is specially prepared for you. Have a warm breakfast, young master

2 While Chan was thinking about Jina, he saw a person walking through the garden along the Lilacs as a cover and entering the house. The lazy shirt and jeans outfit with a bag on the shoulders and high tied hair made Chan recognize that person as Jina. Her always calm face was now tired and she seemed to be tensed. She hurriedly went inside her room before anyone could notice. Chan saw all these and doubts filled in his brain. She wasn't home last night and it seemed like no one else knew. So, where was she and why all the secrecy? Chan also noticed some ash marks on her white face and hands that stood noticeably. It was obvious that she was up to something and Chan couldn't help but worry. Though Jina was one of the daughters of the Shaw family and meant to be pampered like Anaya, she was instead considered as a jinx by all others. She was always a weird and closed person. And whenever she spoke, something ba

Jina took three days leave and gave Merin and Siwan off for the same days. They also had worked really hard. To repeat experiments from its reports and getting the same results in such a short time was not an easy task at all. So she asked them to relax before starting the next set of experiments.Jina took half the day to clean the house, which had been pending for some time now. Chan was doing enough by maintaining it tidily, considering how a chairman of a business empire was already cooking for both of them after his job. So Jina did all her undone works and then packed her bag for the trip. Chan had said that he will come to pick up in the afternoon, so she waited for his arrival.As planned, Chan came to pick her up along with Mr. P. The three of them took Chan’s car and Tim Tim and another two guards followed in another. It was a five hour trip to the said town.Jina spend some time by watching how the landscapes changed. From tall gray buildings, green trees became more visibl

“What will happen to them, now?” Jina asked while tagging along Chan.“I told them that I am leaving, didn’t I? It’s not my problem anymore,” Chan replied Jina nonchalantly.Jina realized that sometimes Chan is a very unreasonable and petty person and nodded her head in agreement.As for Anaya and Leo, of course they couldn’t see Neil and had to return in disappointment and it repeated for a couple of days.Chan remembered what Leo had said about settling scores. Chan was actually occupied with their business and Jina, that he forgot about Leo’s case. Now that he made another issue, Chan wasn’t going to let him roam free.Chan called Mr. P to look into Leo Sun’s family business. Leo’s father Duo Sun was running a super market chain, in and out the Ochre city. Chan specifically told Mr. P to enquire about their present conditions and market stability. He had already decided on the safest and easiest way to teach him a lesson. Moreover, it will let everyone else know that the Lichen Con
Symbiosis: Growth of Lichens in Ochre soil Confrontation with Anaya
Jina realized what Chan had said, only after reaching the cafeteria. By then Chan had pulled a chair for Jina and went to order two drinks and pastries. Every employee at the cafeteria was now looking at Jina in envy. Their boss had brought his wife for snacks and was going to eat with her. They realized the meaning of Anna’s words now - ‘Boss is sensitive to matters related to his wife.’When Jina looked around, she saw the envious admiration in other’s eyes and felt uncomfortable. On seeing Chan return with food, she said in a low voice, “Everyone is looking at us. Shall we leave?”Chan laughed lightly on hearing her. “Why? Are we doing something shameful here?” he asked in a teasing tone.“But… they…” Jina tried to make him realize what she was saying.“Sh… Don’t talk while eating. Have you never learnt any table manners?” Chan said as he kept his finger on her lips to stop her from complaining.Chan and Jina’s cute interactions were really heartbreaking for the female employees pr
Symbiosis: Growth of Lichens in Ochre soil First Day At Work
Jina looked at Chan leaving and then turned to greet her new colleagues. She was extremely happy to have her own laboratory to work with. The only problem was that it was right under Chan’s nose. She understood that Chan was keeping a close tab on everything.“Nice to meet you guys,” Jina greeted her assistants.“Welcome ma’am,” the two replied in unison.“Oh…please don’t call me ma’am. I am your colleague here. Let’s get along like that. I am more comfortable that way.” Jina said awkwardly on hearing them call her ma’am. Last time Anna also called her ma’am and it made her feel isolated.“But you are our boss’s wife and our superior. We can’t ignore the rules. Moreover this is comfortable for us.” The guy in them said. He was tall and young; a handsome nerd, from the looks of it.The other was a skinny girl with glasses. She gave an aura of a bookish and silent person. Both were fresh researchers in the same field and Mr. P had personally recruited them both from top universities.Ji

Jina opened the file which Chan had given her. It contained the details of experiments her mother conducted before the tragedy occurred in her laboratory. As Chan suspected, this could be the reason for why doom befell on her family. Jina studied everything written in that, very carefully.Jina’s mother, Jie Hain was a pioneer in pharmaceutical research. Her father Feng Hain and brother Jian run their pharmaceutical company ‘Live On’. The company had successfully launched many drugs at much cheaper rates, especially life-saving drugs under Jie Hain’s contributions. Her researches were mainly focused in developing cancer treatment drugs at a cheaper and much efficient manner, that too with minimal side effects.Curcumin – which is extracted from Curcuma longa or turmeric was the focus of Jie Hain’s research. Curcumin was found to have unique anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. It aids in increasing immunity and faster healing. Jie Hain was researching on its further benefits

When Chan came back from the office, Jina was in the courtyard. So he directly went to change clothes without calling her.Jina was folding the washed clothes and arranging Chan’s dry cleaned suits. She took everything together and walked into Chan’s room without seeing that Chan was changing his shirt. The clothes obscured her vision and she bumped into Chan who hadn’t finished changing.The suits’ hanger scratched Chan’s ears and got stuck in his collar. Jina dropped everything at once and stood there looking at Chan, without knowing what to do.“Will you untie this?” Chan asked Jina while trying to remove the hanger from his collar.“Ah… I’m sorry…sorry… I didn’t see you. I will remove it now,” said Jina and she stood on her toes to untangle his collar and hanger.She was trying to keep her distance from him while tip toeing and removing the hanger at the same time. All the balancing failed when she took the suits out and slipped on the clothes she had dropped.Chan grabbed Jina by
