54 Get Some Fresh Airs (1/2)

”You don't trust me because I didn't talk to you last time. Your reason was - a female friend who was present was my girlfriend, and I was refraining myself. Now that she's not here and I'm talking to you casually,” he said in a breath like he hadn't got a clue but in actuality, he knew it very well where she was coming from. He just wanted to tease her.

She sighed and continued walking to the elevator. ”You're impossible. Now I won't be able to fall asleep because of you.”

”Why?” he asked, completely clueless about what she meant.

She frowned at him. ”Let's not talk anymore.” She didn't think that she could take his personality anymore. She did not want to get worked up over his denseness as she wanted to mentally prepare her mind for a rest.

They got into the elevator. Yu Sha quickly pressed the button for the connecting floor. The current elevator they were in was over at the restaurants and recreational side. They needed to get to the elevator that took them to the sleeping areas.

The elevator door opened and Yu Sha and Hue Chi got out, making their way towards the south elevator.

”Are you feeling better?” Hue Chi was referring to her asthma attack which she did understand.

”Hmm... It's nothing serious.” She brushed off her illness but in actuality, it was one of the most serious attacks she had experienced since her birth. She did not want to get into details with people she barely knew, and that made it the best response to give.

”That's good,” he said, relieved with the information.

She glanced slightly to her left where he was walking close behind. Did she mishear him? His voice sounded sincere as if he had been genuinely worried about her and knowing that she was doing fine, relaxed him.

She walked up to the elevator and pressed the up button. The elevator door opened quickly as no one was using the elevator at that time of the night.

Butler Zeu, who was inside the elevator, was about to come out. He had heard the door opening and closing when Prince Hue Chi left his room. Butler Zeu had waited for a while before checking his room to see if it was empty. After confirming that the prince had left, he had waited before he stepped out to check on the prince but what he wasn't expecting was to meet the prince and Yu Sha together. Though he looked calm through his external appearance, there was a war in turmoil inside him, excited that the prince had finally taken the first step off his singlehood.

It surprised Yu Sha to see another person at that time of night. If she remembered correctly, he was the man that brought Kao Sheng to join them for lunch last time. ”Your person?” she asked Hue Chi.

He nodded.

Hue Chi gestured for Yu Sha to get in the elevator, which Yu Sha complied with.
