Chapter 241 From Annabelle to Barbie (1/2)

Since Lexi was told which floor Morris Liu's private room was, Lexi didn't go to ask at the nurse's station and directly headed to the lift going up. Well, since Morris Liu was an important business figure, his room was the second to the highest floor because the top floor was the Jin Family's exclusive family floor— where their relatives and families who had close ties with them were admitted.

Just as Lexi was waiting for the elevator to open up, someone stood beside her. She cast the person on her side a glance and they stared at her longer than she expected. There, a woman wearing a cute pink dress, her wavy hair was dyed in lilac with black roots, she had this cute clip in her hair— she looked cute and harmless. But, that wasn't the case as Lexi felt she looked familiar.

'Where have I seen her?' Lexi thought inwardly as she recalled her vague memories that had some glitches and confusing memories in some events. Unaware, Lexi was now intently staring at the woman beside her which made the girl turned her head to her.

Seraphina Yue then brightly smiled recognizing her in an instant. ”Nice to see you again, pretty girl~”

Upon hearing her address, Lexi snapped from her brief trance and shifted her slightly distraught gaze directly to the jet black eyes looking back at her. Her pair of eyes were akin to the black hole, beautiful yet strong. Despite her innocent, harmless front, Lexi felt intimidated for the first time.

Why? She looked like a pampered princess but why did she feel so pressured? Also, why does her instinct tell her that she should be wary around her? Who told her that?

”Remember me?” Pointing at herself, Seraphina Yue grinned as she cutely tilted her head to the side. Her almond eyes smiled that made it into a thin line.

”I guess prettier girls can easily forget girls who are less pretty. Anyway, my last name is Yue, Seraphina Yue. You've attended my event last time.” Calm and sweet, Seraphina Yue handed her hand for a handshake.

Upon hearing her name, Lexi's brows slightly twitched. Right, that's why she looked so familiar… she was wearing a too outdated formal attire, huge frame myopia glasses and her hair was neatly tied in a low bun that was the complete opposite of what she was looks right now. She appeared like a strict auntie back then but now she looked like a doll— from annabelle to barbie.

”My apologies, Miss Yue.” Meekly smiling, Lexi slightly bowed her head as she reached for her hand for a handshake. Well, she was somehow grateful to this woman especially to Wren Tanaka as they helped her one way or another.

”Hehe, you're too formal— Sera is fine.” As they retracted both their hands, Seraphina Yue waved her hands off as she preferred being called by her first name by Lexi instead of being too formal.

*Ding!*

Just then, the elevator door opened revealing no one inside. Therefore, the two ladies headed inside. Lexi pressed the button on her destination floor while Seraphina pressed the floor higher by a floor to Lexi's destination.

”I'm here to visit my grandpa you see.” Without being asked, Seraphina explained why she was at the hospital. She added, ”You must be here because of Morris?”

Lexi slightly arched her brows as she didn't expect the cute lady having connections with Morris Liu. After all, Morris Liu didn't show up in the Yue Events— not certain if he's invited or just didn't attend. Regardless, if she was addressing him by his first name, then that only means they knew each other right?

”Yes, I am.” Lexi modestly nodded her head with a meek smile. Probably because she seemed friendly, she ignored the red alarms ringing inside her head.

”Yikes,” Murmuring, Seraphina Yue scrunched her nose hearing Lexi's obvious agenda for coming in this place. Her remarks, fortunately, didn't reach Lexi that made her only produce an inquiring hummed.

”hmm?”

”Hehe, I see— I just thought I should visit him as well while I'm here but oh well, he might have a heart attack.”

Lexi's brows furrowed heart the woman's last words. 'Heart attack? Why?' she thought inwardly. Lexi didn't want to questioned about her relationship with Morris Liu as it was normal for people like them— businessmen like them be an acquaintance. However, in retrospect, Lexi could not recall Morris Liu being friendly with his prospective business partners. Hence, she was rather curious about what kind of woman she was.

”Mr. Liu would surely appreciate his friends visiting him.” In her own creative way, Lexi didn't forget to input the word 'friends' to confirm if she was friends woth Morris Liu.

”Is that so?” Seraphina Yue only smiled back but said nothing afterward. Lexi thought that she would strike another conversation again but throughout the other half of their ride inside the elevator lift, Seraphina Yue didn't utter a single word.
