Chapitre 47: Lied
"Why did you lie to that doctor and tell him you tripped over something in the hallway?" He asked.
Oh shit, I know he wasn't going to let this go. I ignored his question, looked down and continued packing.
"I don't know, I wasn't going to tell him I fainted then he would make a big deal about it and want me to get a bunch of tests done, that's what doctors do." I avoided again.
"You said you took too hot of a bath." He added.
I stopped and looked at him, now seriously irritated.
"I did Mr. Mu. So now let it go for the goodness sake as you talk about me asking a billion questions, and it's different when it's you, right?" My voice grew louder.
He walked over to me and put his hands on my shoulders.
"I'm sorry, I did not mean to upset you."
My first mistake was looking into his beautiful eyes because before I knew it I cupped his face in my hands as I so desperately wanted to kiss him, taste him and feel him. And I was vulnerable at that moment, and for one second, I didn't care, all I knew is I needed him in ways every woman needs a man.
Then reality hit me.
"I'm sorry I raised my voice, I'm just tired." I let go of his face and turned to zip up my suitcase.
He grabbed my arm, turned me to face him and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a warm embrace.
This was the first real hug we ever shared. His arms were strong, and he made me feel safe. I closed my eyes as I took in his scent that made me weak but excited. He didn't say a word, and it felt like we stayed in each other's arms for eternity. He broke the embrace and turned away like he did something wrong.
"We should get going."
Suddenly it hit me, I never made it to my work to give my notice. I shook my head and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Mu Kai asked.
"I was on my way to the record studio to give my notice, and I just realized I didn't made it there."
"Give your notice, why are you quitting?" Mu Kai grabbed my suitcase, and we walked out into the living room.
My face lit up as I was about to tell him the good news.
"I completely forgot to tell you, my paintings sold, all three of them," I excitedly said.
"Now the owner wants to contract me and my paintings, and that's a full-time job."
He smiled at me.
"That's brilliant news Wen Wen, and congratulations." He applauded.
As I was grabbing the last of my things, my phone rang, it was my cousin Ying Ying. Then I asked Mu Kai to go in my desk drawer and grab a piece of paper and pen so I could write down the name and address of the funeral home.
So I took down the information and hung up. I turned around as Mu Kai was staring at my list I keep in the drawer.
"What's this?" he casually asked.
I walked over and took it from him.
"Just a list of things I would like to do in my lifetime. I wrote it after Mo Ting moved out, kind of a new start on life list."
He looked at me only the way he could and said.
"Ok, ready to go?" He asked.
I locked up the apartment and headed to the car.
