Afraid of being caught by Gu Yusheng, Qin Zhi'ai stopped pacing immediately. Looking right and then left, she decided to hide in the room again.
She closed the door, circling the room anxiously, trying to find a place to hide.
"Mr. Gu, watch your step." The driver, Xiaowang, could be heard from outside the closed door.
"No worries," Gu Yusheng calmly said. In contrast to Gu Yusheng's usual quick temper, Qin Zhi'ai, who had always been the composed one, suddenly jumped in fear. She was trying to find a hiding place like an aimless fly. She pulled out a quilt, took a cushion from the sofa, opened the drawer of the dresser… Finally, she realized, none of these places would fit her.
The footsteps were nearing the door.
"Oh dear! How? I'm doomed! I'm doomed!" Qin Zhi'ai mumbled frantically.
The footsteps stopped at the door. The doorknob was turned, and a slight sound could be heard.
Lightning seemed to strike through her whole body, all her hair standing on end instantly. She scanned her surroundings once again, and with no other choice, she dove onto the carpet, crawled, and hid under a coffee table.
The door was opened and Gu Yusheng, accompanied by Xiaowang, walked in.
Within ten seconds, Qin Zhi'ai, whose face was sticking close to the floor, saw four feet walking towards her.
She couldn't even breathe as she stared nervously at the two pairs of shoes without blinking. Just as she thought one of them was so close that it would kick her on the forehead, they finally stopped.
Qin Zhi'ai heaved a sigh of relief. The pair of feet that was the closest to her lifted its pant legs, showing off a pair of fair-skinned ankles.
She recognized them immediately as Gu Yusheng's. He had probably sat down in front of her.
"Mr. Gu, the housekeeper isn't around today. Are you able to manage on your own?" Xiao Wang's polite voice filled the empty room.
But only silence answered him, so after some time, he said again, "Mr. Gu, I saw on the news yesterday that Miss Liang will end her filming today. She's probably on her way back to Beijing. Do you want me to give her a call and check if she has arrived so that she can come back and…"
Xiao Wang didn't complete his sentence, and Gu Yusheng, who had remained silent since he entered the room, suddenly spoke in a low and impatient voice. "It isn't easy for me to get her out of my sight and have some peaceful time, why do you have to ask her to come back?"
Xiao Wang was reprimanded and dared not speak further.
Qin Zhi'ai, who was hiding under the coffee table, drew her lips together. Although no one could see her disappointment, she lowered her gaze and concealed the gloom in her eyes.
The room was silent once again. Gu Yusheng had probably signaled for Xiao Wang to leave, as he started talking again. "Mr. Gu, I'll go first. If you need any assistance, please call me anytime."
Gu Yusheng, again, remained silent. After a few seconds, Qin Zhi'ai saw two of the shoes move in the other direction and eventually leave.
As the door closed with a clicking sound, the entire room was quiet like never before.
