A New Hope

"Of course." I immediately nodded while returning her gentle smile, "I'll…. I'll leave you two now."

She nodded and I stole one last look at Qui Shan before leaving the tea table to go stand somewhere quite distant so I don't eavesdrop or interrupt them.

I watched as they got into a conversation while sitting on the edge of a pillar. The pretty lady looked quite worried for some reason as she spoke to Qui Shan who just listened to what she kept saying with a serious look on his face.

It seemed to be about something very important and from the corner of my eyes, I noticed Qui Shan glancing at my direction and it made me feel uneasy as I had no clue what their discussion might be.

The conversation couldn't possibly be about me, or could it?

I was suddenly curious to figure out what they were talking about, I wasn't comfortable with the bizarre feeling I felt and the worriedness I noticed in the blue eyes of the lady only worsened it.
