Early the next morning...
As I proceeded to my usual work routine, making my way toward the bathhouse, a young woman from the front desk called out to me, "Lupan, a guest in Room 631 is asking for you to come over..."
Hmm? Who would be summoning me to a guest room so early in the morning?
Casually, I inquired, "Is it a man or a woman?"
The young woman shot me a glance. "It's a woman, more beautiful than a celestial being..."
Her tone implied scepticism, as though she believed I harboured an insatiable thirst for women; in truth, I was merely pondering whether it might be Liora.
After all, she had mentioned yesterday that there would be further business today...
"A man inquired earlier; he informed the front desk as soon as you arrived. Finish your work, then go see him!"
A man? Who could it be?
I made my way to the elevator. Just as the doors opened, Su Mei stepped out, her eyes rimmed with dark circles, clearly fatigued from a lack of rest the night before.
