88 How did I get here? (1/2)

After about an hour, Liling's hold loosened a little and Liu Wei meticulously stood up from the bed. He didn't breath till he had successfully left her room.

He took large strides to his bedroom and carefully closed the door behind him.

....

Liling woke up at exactly half past eight. She would have woken up later but the day before she had set her alarm clock since she had an appointment the next day.

It took her ten minutes to completely stand up from the bed. As she watched her reflection on the mirror in the bathroom, she felt something was amiss.

After about a few minutes, her eyes widened and her hand which held the brush stopped moving.

'I remember falling asleep in Mr Liu Wei's study, but I don't remember coming back to this room. So how did I get here?'

She remembered having a beautiful dream about her mom. In the dream, she was still little and her mom had carried her to bed. After tucking her in, she stood to leave but she held her back.

She begged her mom to stay, and her mom smiled and lay with her, whispering some bedtime stories to her. She was extremely happy and it felt so real!.

She had even perceived her mom's sweet perfume. She had thought it was real till that morning when she woke up to reality.

Did she sleep walk?

No, she had never sleep walked. And besides Mr Liu Wei was in the room too. ...Wait...

MR LIU WEI WAS IN THE ROOM TOO!

Did he carry me?

Her eyes widened as she thought of this, but she immediately dismissed that idea. Mr Liu Wei can't stoop so low as to carry a maid, ha!.

He must have woken me up but I was too sleepy to remember. Yes! that must be it. There was no other way.

With that conclusion, she continued brushing while humming a favorite song.

....

Liu Wei had left by the time she went to his room. She had never met him in the mornings since she began work. He left very early, or maybe she just slept too much.

She quickly arranged his room and took a quick breakfast after which she left the mansion.

.....

”Liling! where are you? Have you gotten to the company yet? ”
