บท 43: Backfired plan

"We should go eat lunch together." Mr Ping suggested, looking at Li Hoy who was busy with his laptop as usual. 

"You can just order it and have them bring it here."

"Come on, stop being boring. What's the use of a vacation like this if you won't leave your room?" 

"..." He was still busy with his laptop and didn't bother to answer. 

"Maybe I should give your mother a call and let her know you've been inside your room? I'm sure she'll —"

"Dont!" Hoy glared at him. 

"So let's go have lunch together. You look pretty exhausted. Is something else other than work troubling you lately?" 

"It's nothing important." He said before grabbing his jacket. Mr Ping was pretty much his mother's spy. He didn't want her barging into his room. Threatening Mr Ping with his salary wouldn't work because his mother was ready to compensate for any loss he had as a result of being her spy.
