Chapter 10

Madee came home late that night but still, she continued to dig real deep into the case. Chai woke up from her sleep because she heard noises coming from downstairs. She rubs her eyes and saw the living room light on. Madee on the couch looking through files and paperwork. She realized that Chai was going down the staircase but she acts like she didn't see her. Chai hugs Madee from her back and said

"Umm…. when did you come back, huh? I didn't hear your car coming just now."

"Mm? Oh, I didn't want to wake you up so I drove in slowly."

The answer that Madee gave her. Then Madee turns her head along with her body backward and gave Chai a kiss that lasted for a decent minute. After that, Chai made a warm cup of peppermint tea for her bae because she looks a bit tense while looking through all the files. Madee tasted mint in her tea and asked

"Did you put a bit of mint in here?"

Chai answered with a chuckle

"Yes. Do you know that peppermint tea is good to reduce stress and anxiety-like in your case right now, you look a bit tense so I made you tea instead of bringing me to be your stress reduction? You get what I mean."

And ended her words with rolling her eyes. Madee smiled at her girl at the same time very fascinated by her tea and the benefits it.

While looking through one of the main files that she was focusing on, she came across the little girl's case. She called Chai and said

"Babe, you still remember the Kamlai case? I didn't really work on it but one of my colleagues is actually working on it."

"Yea, why? a-a-and did you just call me b-b-b-babe?"

Chai answer's but that question at the end made Madee chuckle and answered

"About the case, I think there's a connection between Kamlai's and your brother as known as my ex-boyfriend, Tan. And yes, I did call you babe. Why? we're an official aren't we?"

Chai's face turns red but her mind was thinking twice about them if they were a couple or not. But then she shakes her head that indicates that they're an official couple. Madee jumps of the couch grabs Chai and kissed her. But they didn't do it. She was so happy that Chai agrees that they were an official, which left Chai smiling like a dork.
