Chapter 172: The Morning After
Han Meixiu lazily opened her eyes when she felt she was subtly being moved.
She saw Liu Zijian was busily covering her with an overcoat.
"We're leaving." He simply said and scooped up the young woman before walking towards the door.
Maybe Han Meixiu was still indeed sleepy as she went back to her slumber after seeing the man.
She clearly didn't try to understand his words.
No one could blame her. It was still half past five in the morning. Since it's winter time, outside was still dark.
When Han Meixiu opened her eyes and was greeted by an unfamiliar dimmed environment, she started to panic.
Looking around, she noticed that she's alone in a small room.
Based from the light escaping from the seemingly thick dark colored curtain, it must have been daytime.
If she's not mistaken, this would be the third time she woke up in an unfamiliar place.
She tightly closed her eyes and tried to remember the previous events.
She was with Liu Zijian. She remembered she woke up couple of times and once she saw him, she would close her eyes again and continue her deep slumber.
If that's the case, then this room must be Liu Zijian's. But it's not in the Liu's residence nor didn't look like a hotel room.
She stood up and opened the curtain.
'I'm back in the city. If this isn't a hotel and not the Liu's residence. It means this is LCG.'
Han Meixiu turned around and saw a meticulously arranged clothes near the bed.
She took them and went towards a small door she guessed as the shower room.
After she took a warm shower and changed her clothes she went out of the room.
She saw a neatly organized office with an obvious masculine touch.
Although the table was full of documents and some electronic gadgets, it was well organized.
There was two sets of bookshelf and a cabinet nearby.
The set of sofa not far from the spacious table was colored dark brown.
There was a set of breakfast on the table.
Seeing the food Han Meixiu felt the pang of hunger.
She looked around and saw the wall clock silently clicking every second.
'It's almost 9 o'clock.'
The small room she came from was located on the side of the room thus Han Meixiu must walked for a few more steps to check if her analysis was correct.
Seeing the name of the owner of the table as she moved around the room, she sighed in relief.
This office was indeed her husband's.
Perhaps the breakfast was also for her.
It was light like what she preferred.
After finishing her meal, she was conflicted if she would go out or stay inside. There was no one in sight and no noise could be heard even outside.
As she roamed around the office and lurked at some documents on the desk, she found a folder with her name written on it.
She picked it up.
It seemed that the folder was waiting for her to be checked upon.
There were several information of different people inside.
She remembered that Liu Zijian gave her a task to filter releveant information given some subtle clues on each page.
She smiled. This is indeed a task for her to do.
Since there was no other desk in the room except from the one owned by her husband, she took the document and sat down on the sofa while holding a pencil.
After making some space on the coffee table, she began reading and scribbling something on the documents.
Someone knocked on the door that made Han Meixiu paused and stood up.
"Are you looking for Liu Zijian?" She politely asked when she opened the door.
The man on the other side froze.
"He's not here." She continued.
"I'll wait inside." The man quickly answered. He started to get suspicious after recovering from his initial shock.
Han Meixiu thought for a while. She studied the man who was probaly same age as her husband and he didn't look that bad if she would ignore the growing wariness on his eyes.
"Suit yourself." She responded and went back to her seat, picked up the documents she was already holding before the man disturbed her.
'A woman in Sir Second's room? Plus she was reading something. This is very suspicious. But the security in LCG is tight, nobody could enter the building without permission, much more stay in this office.'
The man thought as he would steal glances from time to time, checking if the woman would do other things.
But she was just immersed in what she was doing as if his existence was irrelevant.
Still, the man decided to stay until either Ye Ming or Liu Zijian arrived.
Looking at the profile of the woman who was busily scribbling something as she flipped the files now and then, he couldn't help himself to admire.
The daylight was gently shining upon her making her complexion soft and dainty. The few strands of her hair elegantly follow the movements of her head and would occasionally sway when she would flip a page.
He stopped and reminded himself why he's here in the first place.
Sir Second ordered him to report whatever he would get as soon as possible after the meeting ended about an hour ago.
The man was thinking if he would just leave the file or go back later. But he was really curious who was this woman.
Although he was not that sociable, he could at least identify the people around their boss and this woman wasn't one of them.l, as far as he could remember.
Giving one last look and taking note that she was still immersed in her reading, he left the room silently.
When Han Meixiu finished filtering the files, she looked around and found herself alone again.
'Oh, he left?'
She shrugged her shoulders and placed back the documents on Liu Zijian's desk carefully.
As she was about to leave, she saw an envelop that didn't seem to belong rightfully on that table.
She took it out and read.
'Invitation for an engagement party?' She muttered and opened it.
Her eyes buldged when she saw a picture fell from it.
'So this was the woman that looked like me.' She felt weird seeing her other 'self' beside Chen Dewei.
She wondered if Liu Zijian would attend. He never mentioned this to her.
Checking the date and time, it would be this night.
Han Meixiu suddenly got curious. What would be the woman's reason why she would agree to copy her physical appearance?
She wanted to see how much they resemble each other aside from the face.
What would she feel?
There was an urge to confront and ask the person involve.
Should she go?
