48 Confession (1/2)

When Eric manages to gather his self. Lori came out of the bathroom.

To her surprise, it's not Cheng Ze she's with. She stares at him. ”Who are you?” Where am I?” What happened?”

”Miss I don't have time for this! You have to go! Do you need money? Just leave please.” he wants to follow Ji An to explain but he can't leave until this woman is here.

”No! Tell your name and number!” she can't speak good English. 'Cheng Ze cannot find out about this.' in her thoughts.

He wrote his name and contact details in a piece of paper and gave it to her. ”I'm leaving in 4 days. So contact me before that if you have to.” he then went to the bathroom and locked the bathroom door.

Lori put her clothes on, fixed her hair and head out. She vaguely remembers what happened. But she clearly remembers what she did, she just didn't expect it to be a different person and a complete stranger. 'I'm so stupid! Why did I sleep with him? I don't even know him. What if I get preg... Noooooo... I have to sleep with Cheng Ze just in case.' she left his penthouse.

Eric looked at the mirror. He combs his hair with his hand. ”What have I done! I blew my chance with Ji An. I just gave her more reason not to be with me. Crap!” he then went to have a shower.

After his shower, he tried to call Ji An, but her phone was turned off. He is frustrated about what happened. It's definitely over between him and Ji An. He will have to tell his parents now there is no other way.

Lori is busy thinking of a plan on how to get Cheng Ze to sleep with her. She tried almost everything before and nothing worked. ”How am I going to do this now?” she gently nudges the steering wheel with her head. ”He will end our engagement if he finds out. What am I going to do?”

Meanwhile, at Gu residence, Madam Gu was so engrossed with something. Her mind has been thinking a lot. She went to see and talk to Gu Feng ”Gu Feng can you ask Cheng Ze to come over. I want to ask him something. Is it possible for Ji An to get a position in the company? A secretary or a psychiatrist for your workers. She smiled warmly.”

”Talk it out with Cheng Ze. He can make a better decision regarding that matter. I'll call him and ask him to come over later.” he continued reading the newspaper.

”I'll call him myself.” she went and called Cheng Ze.

They just arrived at the pancake house when Cheng Ze's phone rang. It's her mother. They have been in very good terms for years now so he picked up his phone. ”Mother, you called?” he looked at Ji An. ”Yes, I can.” he held Ji An's hand and squeeze it gently. He looked at her in a very loving way. ”I'll be there after Sofia had her pancake.” he paused ”Yes, both of them.” he paused again ”Okay. Bye.” he ended the call.

”What did she say?” she asks curiously.

”She wants to talk to me,” he answered her calmly.

”And you said yes? Are you in good terms with her now?”

”Hmm... It's been a while now actually We have to head home after eating. I think it's urgent.”

”Sure. Let's hurry then.”

Madam Gu called Li Wei after she talked to Cheng Ze. ”Li Wei can you come over? I have some matter to discuss with you. Don't tell Cheng Ze about this, okay?”

”Yes Madam Gu. I'm on my way there.” Li Wei replied.

It didn't took him long to arrive at the Gu residence. Madam Gu invited him to the study room so they can talk properly.

”Have a seat Li Wei. I'm gonna be straight with you. ”Did you met my daughter when you went to London 6 years ago?”
