6 First Day 3 (1/2)
Once they got off the jet,they rode the limousine waiting for them
”where to mademoiselle?” their French chauffeur asked
”Collins Bell Chambre” she replied with a perfect French accent. She noticed Mr. Cheng's gaze on her again.
”I learned it” she told him. Hui Yin noticed that he looked pale, different from how he did a few hours ago. She took her medicine pouch and took the unused bottle of water from her bag and handed him the medicine.
Once again, he gave her a stare
”it is for jetlag, Mr. Cheng. The bottle is unused.” he nodded and took it. After he drank, he returned the bottle for her to keep.
Even though he drank the medicine, he still looked pale so she put her hand on his forehead..
Mr. Cheng disliked being touched, he was about to push away her arm and to warn her, but he saw that there was no malice in her eyes just...concern..so he disregarded the thought. Seeing the scene behind him, the chauffeur broke out a cold sweat. There were a lot of times when girls would 'accidentally' touch him to get his attention and they ended up crying. He would harshly push them away like they were a threat to his life and ask for disinfectant as well as a change of clothes.
”You're observant” not expecting him to say anything, she was uttered speechless
”ah? what?” when she realized she said something unnecessary again, she covered her mouth and her cheeks were flushed. She felt embarrased again. Her make up was always light to none at all that it was impossible for him not to notice it, but he didn't say anything
but clearly he was thinking. After a few seconds, she was able to control her emotions and went back to her usual poker face. She would never allow her emotions to shadow her professionalism.
”Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Cheng” she said with a calm voice then looked away, 'being observant was one of the training I had in the military after all. She then focused on the view of the streets they passed by, not taking a glance at him. If she did look at him though, she would notice that his eyes were smiling at her. But his what he was thinking was unfathomable.
They arrived at the hotel earlier than expected. She wanted to rest after sitting for so long but things didn't always go as planned.
”I'm sorry mademoiselle, there is only one VIP room left. We have made a mistake in the rooms.” hearing this, she frowned.
”are there any other rooms near it?”
” No miss, they are all occupied. All we have left are the common rooms”
”then book me a-”
”no” a cold voice cut her off
