Jiang Ni woke up and looked at the familiar surroundings, still a bit dazed.
The room had only a night light on, placed far away in the direction of the foot of the bed, as if to avoid disturbing her rest.
Guided by the dim light, Jiang Ni sat up, found the remote beside her, and pressed it at random. She watched as the curtains slowly opened, revealing the night outside.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"..."
Jiang Ni scratched her head, with no recollection at all, not knowing what time she arrived here or how she ended up sleeping here.
On her phone, there were several unread messages from Secretary Li Mi, all about Jiang's company.
After giving brief replies, she felt slightly more clear-headed and swung her legs out from under the covers to get up.
After drinking too much, Jiang Ni's head was still spinning. She walked unsteadily on the carpet into the bathroom and washed her face with cold water, trying to force herself to wake up.
