19 THE SIMPLE THING TO DO (1/2)

Xuan Tianmei had just finished a job at the studio. The makeup artiste peeked at her wristwatch, it was twenty minutes past 6.

Xuan Tianmei was aware they were more jobs later, but thankfully, the company gave those jobs out to freelance artists. She observed the mess she had made while working, then gave her assistant, Xiao Xin—who was licking her lollipop with excessive concentration—a canny stare.

She drew a deep breath and called out to her assistant. ”Xiao Xin.”

Xiao Xin snapped out of her lollipop daze and walked up to Xuan Tianmei, ”Big sister.”

”Can you help me clean up? I have to leave now.”

”Oh! Do you have a date?”

”No, I don't. I'm having dinner with my brother.”

”Aww. Your really cute brother whose number you won't give me.”

Xuan Tianmei smiled and ignored the girl. Being a chatty person, it usually took Xiao Xin less than a minute to trap someone in a conversation they would much rather avoid.

Xuan Tianmei pulled her phone out of her purse and dialled Xuan Tianyi's number. It connected, but the person at the other end didn't pick up the call.

She rolled her eyes, packed her bags and made her way to the last floor of the building. She tried calling two more times. Still, Xuan Tianyi didn't pick up his phone.

Xuan Tianmei was starting to lose her cool. What could he be doing that was so important he couldn't pick her call? Nothing came to her mind but the dirty business. Xuan Tianyi had told her he had something important to tell her, he wouldn't ignore her call unless he couldn't meet up anymore. The only reason he'd cancel dinner with her was if something unforeseen happened, or if he found himself a new fuck buddy. Since the second scenario seemed more likely than the first, her unpicked calls soured her facial expression.

As she clocked out at the reception, the receptionist exclaimed. ”Aiya! You're the sister of that guy who was arrested this afternoon.”

Xuan Tianmei was caught off-guard by this. She had heard people murmuring about an arrest, but had paid their rumours no mind. ”What? No, I'm not.”

The receptionist glared at her and continued, ”You have the same last name and the same face. How can it be that you're not his sister?”

Xuan Tianmei furrowed her brows and asked, whispering the last three words. ”Was this person's name Xuan Tianyi?”

”Of course, it was. Ai! Where are you hurrying off to?” The receptionist was dismayed. She was looking forward to knowing what happened.

Xuan Tianmei ran out of the building and paused. Worried and confused, she pulled out her phone and called Xuan Tianyi again. As expected, the call connected but wasn't answered on the other end.

”What's happening to your face?” Tan Yao, who had suddenly appeared beside her, asked her.

Seeing a familiar face, Xuan Tianmei's tense facial expression relaxed. ”Did you know Xuan Tianyi was arrested?”
