41 His Vacation at Her Place 3 (1/2)
Hui Yin was in a pinch. The only sleep wears she had were all night gowns that reached her knees. Not thinking that she would need any pyjamas, she didn't think of ordering one for herself.
Left with no choice, she took the most modest one she had, a velvet silk dress that accentuated her jade like skin. She took out a bathrobe and wore it, then wrapped it around her body, covering her dress.
When she was satisfied with what she wore, she went out her bedroom and walked to the livingroom where Cheng Ming-hùa waited.
”Mr. Cheng, would you like some tea while we talk?”
”en”
”so what do you want to tell me, Mr. Cheng?”
Of course, Cheng Ming-hùa wouldn't be the one starting the conversation. So she changed her approach.
”What made you come here, Mr. Cheng?” Hui Yin asked while opening the kitchen cupboards, looking for the tea bags.
”Vacation. Doctor's advice”
'Doctor..? He's sick?'
”are you sick?” out of habit maybe, but she walked towards him and placed her warm palm on his forhead but there was nothing so she retracted it and went back to the kitchen counter to boil hot water. Her back faced him so she didn't see the dangerous glint that his eyes held
”No. I fainted”
”you did?”
”overfatigue”
”Eh? Doesn't your secretary do the things for you?”
”I don't have one” 'they aren't you'
”oh...you should really mind your health Mr. Cheng”
”en, I'll do that from now”
Something felt odd from the way he spoke, but Hui Yin saw that he was being his normal self, so she didn't say anything about it.
”how long do you plan to stay in the country?”
”..two weeks”
”Should I help you find a place to stay?”
”that won't be necessary. I'll be staying here”
'wow, the first long sentence he said in coming here'
”Wait...what?”
”do you not want me to?” his husky and rough voice resounded, making her feel that he was just right beside her. It made her feel fuzzy inside
”there's...there is..no problem at all, Mr. Cheng..uh would you like..no nevermind..”she was quiet. Hui Yin knew she started losing her composure but she could not let that happen! When she spoke again, her countenance and tone changed into the cold and professional one Cheng Ming-hùa knew.
