Suspicious First Meeting

Before she could properly think about what the 'special gift' was, she heard her assistant looking for her outside. She instantly pushed the problem at hand in her mind and went out.

"Just put it on the pantry then we can eat together there." Xiu Mei uttered as she passed by her assistant while walking over to her table. 

"O~kay!" 

After watching her assistant now focusing on preparing their lunch, she immediately grabbed the letter lying carelessly on her table. She held it by the edges to avoid touching the written words since she hasn't really confirmed whether the ink was really blood or just a prank that the sender did to frighten her. 

She hid it under the drawers to keep it away from her sight.

Xiu Mei's eyes lingered at her drawer before striding towards the pantry.
