40 Caught Red Handed (1/2)
Leaving the bathroom, Wuxing looked through the window as he reflected on everything that happened just now and he could gladly say that he was very content with his job. He could, of course, do even better by giving her more compliments and making her feel more relaxed, but the current status was already quite satisfying.
Wearing a pair of new clothes, Wuxing started preparing the tools he would need for cooking. He found a nice pan, a metal pot and other small necessities, thinking it would be enough. The only things he needed were the crucial ingredients.
Knock, knock. Just as he thought about it, he heard a knock to the doors and announcing that the things he needed came. 'Quite efficient. We weren't playing around for too long but they already gathered everything. Not bad at all.' Wuxing thought as he walked up to the doors and opened it without worry.
When it was half opened, he could already see the two guards holding many bags of products in their hands. Who would have thought that, at that moment, Dongmei would slightly open the doors to the bathroom so that Wuxing would hear her before calling out to him, ”Wuxing! Come back, I will dry your hair!”
'Fuck… I didn't think it would happen…' Wuxing cursed in his mind, not thinking his luck would leave him at that moment. He wasn't able to close the doors in time as she said it too fast and if he did so after the fact, it would make them look much more suspicious than necessary.
Wuxing knew it was too late now and he could only act it out to somehow save it. Without showing any surprise on his face, Wuxing turned to the bathroom while still holding the frame of the main doors and called out, ”I will do it later! You already waited for a long time when I was showering! Just dry your hair first!”
The two guards listened to this small exchange and squinted their eyes as they watched Wuxing's expressions, trying to catch anything that could add to their investigation. They already got one detail which was their Miss willingly trying to dry Wuxing's hair which was already a big strike.
Hearing Wuxing's response, Dongmei who was in the bathroom frowned, realising that there was something wrong. After all, they were showering together so there must have been something amiss on Wuxing's side.
'Shit…' It didn't take long for her to figure out what was going on and cursed at herself for not checking out if they were safe before calling out earlier.
Opening the doors wider, she peeked through it and saw the main doors opened with her private guards looking into the apartment, confirming her thoughts. She quickly shouted while pretending to be angry, ”Get your ass right here and dry it right now! I'm not going to take care of you when you fall sick!”
Without waiting for Wuxing's reply, she shut the door with a bang, making the guards ultimately confused. Wasn't Miss acting so nice to him a moment ago? Why he got met with so much hate in the span of one minute.
”Sigh, you see what I have to deal with here? I really respect you guys for dealing with her for so long. I was here for a day and your Miss is already driving me nuts.” Wuxing sighed as he picked the bags from the guards' hands before adding, ”Well, being here is still better than staying in a prison cell, so I guess I can somehow manage for now. Thanks for bringing the ingredients. I will start making breakfast now.”
Seeing them not reacting, Wuxing just smiled and closed the door, leaving them with their own thoughts. Unfortunately, his smile disappeared right after, as he breathed a sigh of relief. He somehow saved the situation for now, but he knew there would be some complication out of this.
Dongmei who heard the doors closing left the room immediately and asked anxiously, ”What did you say to them?” She knew it was her mistake so she didn't even try to blame it on him.
