88 How did I get here?
After about an hour, Liling's hold loosened a little and Liu Wei meticulously stood up from the bed. He didn't breath till he had successfully left her room.
He took large strides to his bedroom and carefully closed the door behind him.
....
Liling woke up at exactly half past eight. She would have woken up later but the day before she had set her alarm clock since she had an appointment the next day.
It took her ten minutes to completely stand up from the bed. As she watched her reflection on the mirror in the bathroom, she felt something was amiss.
After about a few minutes, her eyes widened and her hand which held the brush stopped moving.
'I remember falling asleep in Mr Liu Wei's study, but I don't remember coming back to this room. So how did I get here?'
She remembered having a beautiful dream about her mom. In the dream, she was still little and her mom had carried her to bed. After tucking her in, she stood to leave but she held her back.
She begged her mom to stay, and her mom smiled and lay with her, whispering some bedtime stories to her. She was extremely happy and it felt so real!.
She had even perceived her mom's sweet perfume. She had thought it was real till that morning when she woke up to reality.
Did she sleep walk?
No, she had never sleep walked. And besides Mr Liu Wei was in the room too.... Wait...
MR LIU WEI WAS IN THE ROOM TOO!
Did he carry me?
Her eyes widened as she thought of this, but she immediately dismissed that idea. Mr Liu Wei can't stoop so low as to carry a maid, ha!.
He must have woken me up but I was too sleepy to remember. Yes! that must be it. There was no other way.
With that conclusion, she continued brushing while humming a favorite song.
....
Liu Wei had left by the time she went to his room. She had never met him in the mornings since she began work. He left very early, or maybe she just slept too much.
She quickly arranged his room and took a quick breakfast after which she left the mansion.
.... .
"Liling! where are you? Have you gotten to the company yet? "
Xin Yong asked over the phone. Jin Yue had come early that morning to drive her to the industry.
These few days, they've been acting so cheesy. Though none of them talked about the last incident, they both knew it was on their minds.
Jin Yue had been extremely caring and loving. Later that day, he had taken Xin Yong to a five star restaurant of her choice after which they had gone to the amusement park.
Xin Yong acted childishly and spoilt, but he didn't care as long as she was happy.
That morning, she had called to tell him to drop her off, though he had already started heading to the office, he reversed and headed back to her home.
"Oh Xin Yong, I'm on my way. I'll be there in the next few minutes "
"Should I wait for you at the entrance? "
"Ah, no. Just head in, I'll be there soon. No need to wait."
Liling replied as she entered a taxi which had stopped in front of her.
"Okay then, see you later."
"See you!"
Liling replied and brought down her phone when she heard the beeping sound of a disconnected call.
....
"This lady is quite scary! "
Xin Yong whispered to Liling ears as she watched the woman who was almost in her forties, scold a number of trainees.
They weren't singing the notes well, or rather they weren't singing it to her satisfaction.
She had placed them in groups, luckily Xin Yong fell into the same group as Liling. They were the last group to perform.
Richen who had pretended as though she didn't know them was in the group to perform next. Xin Yong and Liling were the least bothered, they also pretended that she didn't exist.
The woman who sat on a reclining reclining chair was almost erupting volcano.
Her face was red with anger as she barked at the group in front of her. She ordered them out and signaled for the next group to come up.
"It seems she is just transferring aggression, I don't see what wrong.."
Liling was replying to Xin Yong's comment but immediately froze when she heard the lady call out.
