บท 44: The Scheduled Meeting

"Are you feeling quite alright, Wan Qing?" Lin Naoi asked. It was supposed to sound caring and attentive, but it lacked the necessary warmth.

Wan Qing’s heart started thumping. She knew that this was the typical tone used by Lin Naoi to express her dissatisfactions with her. Her words sounded warm and indifferent at the same time.

"Yes… Yes, indeed. I didn’t rest well last night, and I feel a bit unwell. But you shouldn’t worry, it was nothing but a chill." Xu Wan forced a smile to appear on her frail face. She stood up, wanting to express her apology to her mistress. She decided that when the situation allowed, she would seize the first chance to absent herself from the interrogation and free herself from any further accusations.

However, before she could open her mouth to talk, Lin Naoi passed her a bottle of blue drug, asking her to take it, before demanding her to take a rest in the hotel. Clearly, Lin Naoi did not want her to leave just yet.
