This woman is hopeless

While Xia Manor was in a mess, Xia Sha stayed in the company late at night. She was preparing her dream project proposal for tomorrow's board meeting.

When she first has this vision, she was helping Ling Guang to nurture his startup, which was the Ling Bright Company. They did not have much capital. Although she put this proposal as her long term project, It's hard for a small company like Ling Bright Company to fulfill her ambition.

Now she finally has the capital, opportunity and all the time in the world, she was ready to build her robotic hotel. She smiles proudly at herself after reviewing her presentation for the third time tonight.

Only after that, she realized it's already 1 am in the morning. There is no way she could bother Kai Xin's at this time. Fatigue starts to crawl all over her body. The situations leave her not other options than staying at a hotel.

She browsed through the internet and book the nearest hotel. Did not even cared about the price she drove to the Halt Hotel carefully.

"Reservation under Ms.Xia Sha." She said before the receptionist could greet her.

The Hotel ambiance was nice, giving the visitors 'safe and private' vibes all over. Xia Sha was glad she could finally have some sleep when the receptionist gives her the key.

She said thank you and walk to the lift in no time. She waited for a few minutes as the lift make the 'Ding!' sound. Xia Sha could see her tired face from the elevator door reflection.

She was frowning a bit when she saw the dark circle that starts to get visible on her face. She touched her face, carefully observing her flaws when the door split into two automatically.

Bless the Lord!

Why did she have to meet this man again? She really has no energy left for another mouth fight.

"Xia Sha?" The deep voice called her name with an excited tone. But when he realized what time is this, he frowned and asked with a more flat tone. "It's so late, why are you in a hotel?"

Xia Sha shut her mouth. What answer did she could give him anyway? I fought with my dad so I move out of the house?

"It's not your business." She icily replied.

Ling Guang frowned. He has not responded to Xia Sha's rudeness but did not move from his legs too.

Xia Sha furrowed her eyebrow and give him a weird look. "What are you doing? Get out of my way!"

"I'll send you to your room."

Xia Sha scoffed upon hearing a worried tone coming out from Ling Guang's mouth. "Why? you still need me to curry favor with another investor?"

Ling Guang's eyes turn bleak and dark. He knew she still holds grudges from the last accident with Director Tan Kun. But he really worried about her right now.

"Xia Sha..." he called out to apologized but Xia Sha has waved her hand and give him a bored face. "Just forget it, I don't want to see you again."

This was the case of the ex's relationship. Since it's done, what putting on courtesy and fake smile again. It will only be a waste of time.

Ling Guang watches the petite figure walk to the other elevator without even spare him a last glance. He doesn't understand how watching her cold back disappear from his sight could give him such a weird feeling.

'No, I love Meng Ran!' he ignores the pain and forces his heart to agree with his mind.

He had enough of that arrogant woman, why would he like her again? Actually, he had heard Xia Sha's family problem from Meng Ran who chatted with Xia Xiang all day long. It's not that he wanted to eavesdrop but they ere so loud that he could understand everything clearly.

He pities her, but he can't do anything to help her. Sigh, forget it, it's not his problem anymore. With that, he walked out and leave Xia Sha alone.

During this time, Guan Xian has too much fun on the billiard service the Halts Hotel provided. He has a good laugh and game, his mood is good and he did not realize it was 1.30 am in the morning.

Without thinking much, he had open a room for himself to rest. His room was across the billiard room. There is an ultra-long corridor with a lift in the middle. Lazily he walks slowly with one hand inside his pocket.

Maybe heaven really loves him or it's his pure luck. Before he passed the lift, he saw the lift door open, revealing a woman wearing loose business attire. She was walking with half eyes open, looking very tired and even soulless as she walks.

A corner of his lips lifted up as he watched her walk like a drunk woman. Despite so many questions engraved on his brain, he just quietly taking care of her from behind.

Xia Sha's lips were really heavy. She needs to sleep so badly and the corridor is so long. "Damn it, what is the architect thinking making such a long corridor." she cursed with a low voice.

She walks and walks and walks. She looks at the key in her hand and frowned. "8718, 8718..." she mumbles as she walks passed few rooms.

On the door with 8718 numbers, she stopped and finally grin!

"Finally arrived!" she giggles and smiles. Guan Xian holds his chuckles from behind. This woman is hopeless, she couldn't stay up late at night why did she work so late?

The door number is 8713!

He shook his head and quickly stop her from tapping her card. "It's 8713, your room is still ahead."

"Oh, thanks." Xia Sha thanking him without even caring to look at the person. Guan Xian lips twitched. He watches her continue walking and almost hit the trash can.

Hurriedly he caught up and stop her from hurting herself.

"Who put trashcan in the middle of the way? Crazy hotel!" she scolds the hotel and kicked the trashcan with no energy.

Guan Xian: "..."

Clearly, you are the one who walks half awake.

So he can only walk behind her and directing her from stumbling upon something. Until they reached her room, he helps her tap the card and make sure she is safe.

Guan Xian stood in front of the door and foolishly smile at the door.

Why did his gut say there will be a much more interesting encounter with this interesting girl? and why he suddenly looking forward to it?
