Elena wiped off her makeup and changed into her pajamas. She crawled into Mila's bed and slept close to her, listening to her talk on and on about Japan.
"I heard Japan has really good food! We should go on an eating spree before you start having to work. Also, doesn't Japan have really pretty cherry blossom trees? We can take many pretty pictures. The only problem would be that we don't know the language. . . But it's okay, we can learn! Also, I heard Japan has. . ."
Elena suddenly sat straight up in her bed and turned back to look at Mila, who stopped talking.
"Mila, do you really want to go?"
Mila nodded as she stared at Elena in confusion.
Elena gulped and thought about her options, "How about. . . let's leave tomorrow morning!"
Mila also sat up and stared at Elena with excitement in her eyes, "Really!"
Elena nodded, she didn't want to stay here any longer. Elena grabbed her phone from the nearby nightstand and called Shin Eunsoo.
Eunsoo was already sleeping when she received the call, "Hello, who is it?"
"Sorry to bother you, Eunsoo. I made my decision about Japan."
Eunsoo rubbed her eyes as she sat up on her bed, "Okay, what is it?"
"I want to go."
"That's good," Eunsoo said, still half-awake.
"I want to leave tomorrow. I can purchase the tickets myself."
Eunsoo was wide awake now and she questioned Elena's plan, "Tomorrow? But where are you going to live? The company hasn't organized your apartment in Japan yet, and you won't have any jobs in Japan if you leave now."
Elena turned to Mila, who was getting more and more excited.
"It's okay, I just don't want to stay in China anymore. I can stay in the hotel for a while, but please organize an apartment for my assistant and me quickly. Would we be going to Tokyo?"
Eunsoo nodded, "Yes, wait one second."
Eunsoo got off the bed and walked over to her office, "Okay, since you want to go now, there are a few things I need to tell you. First. . ."

The next morning, Elena and Mila woke up extra early and began to pack their stuff.
Fang Shi was awake the entire night searching for Lu Chenjun. He had visited the Chu Family's house and the Daxin Hotel. No one was in the house and there was no room under Lu Chenjun's name in the Daxin Hotel.
It was already 6 in the morning, and Fang Shi was sitting in a coffee shop, frustratingly waiting for his drink. If he didn't have some caffeine, he would probably fall asleep before he finds Lu Chenjun.
Fang Shi was extremely lost after not being able to find Lu Chenjun in the Daxin Hotel. He was almost certain that his boss would be in the Daxin Hotel, so why wasn't any room registered under his name?
Unless the room isn't under his name?
Fang Shi's eyes widened as he stood up. He stretched his leg out and angrily kicked the small wooden table in front of him, causing the customers around him to flinch.
He should take away his monthly bonus by himself! Not that he actually would, but how did he not figure it out?
He was the one to take Chu Hua to the hotel, but he completely forgot about it!
Fang Shi forgot about his coffee and his fatigue as he rushed out of the shop and drove straight over to the Daxin Hotel not too far away.
He stopped his car right in front of the hotel and ran in with the security guard screaming after him.
"Sir, that's a no-parking zone! Sir!"
Fang Shi stopped in the middle of the front lobby and suddenly closed his eyes. What was the room number?
The security guard was still chasing him as he walked over to the front desk.
"Hello, I am Fang Shi, President Lu's assistant. I need to check some information with you."
Upon hearing that the man in front of him was President Lu's assistant, the security guard immediately walked away and pretended as if nothing happened.
The lady working at the front desk was cooperative and politely asked, "Yes, what can I help you with?"
"A few days ago, I registered a room here under the name of Chu Hua. Can you help me check which room it is?"
The worker nodded and began searching on her computer.
"The room number is 1037."
"Thank you," Fang Shi managed to say before he ran off towards the elevator.
The elevator ride was extremely slow and it took over a minute to arrive on the 10th floor.
Fang Shi pushed past the two people standing in front of him and ran out.
1037. . . 1037. . . 1037!
Just then, Fang Shi realized that he forgot to ask for a room card! Why was he making such stupid mistakes?
Fang Shi didn't have the patience or the time to go back down to ask for a room card, so he stepped back as far as he could and kicked the door open with his foot.
He heard a female scream come from inside the room and Fang Shi felt his heartbeat quicken as he ran in.
Fang Shi headed straight for the bed, and what he saw was not what he expected.
Lu Chenjun was standing up with both hands placed inside his pant pockets, and he was glaring coldly at Chu Hua who was kneeling on the ground, crying.
Lu Chenjun turned to look at Fang Shi, who shuddered under Lu Chenjun's cold and intense glare.
"Your monthly bonus is all gone."
--- 30 minutes ago
Chu Hua couldn't fall asleep the entire night as she was busy imagining what would happen after Lu Chenjun woke up. He would have to take responsibility, right?
Chu Hua was getting too immersed in the act, and she almost believed that she actually slept with Lu Chenjun. Or else why should Lu Chenjun take responsibility for something he didn't do?
As of now, Chu Hua really wished that she actually slept with Lu Chenjun. After looking at him for a whole night, Chu Hua regretted not giving her body over to him. He was so handsome!
Everything from his face to his body was perfect. Chu Hua bit her lips angrily as she thought about it more and more. Why did she have to go to France?
If Chu Hua had known that Lu Chenjun would become extremely rich and good-looking nine years later, she would have never let him go.
But it didn't matter anymore. He was going to be hers from today onwards.
Chu Hua smiled triumphantly as she moved in closer to Lu Chenjun, resting her head onto his firm chest.
Just then, Lu Chenjun furrowed his eyebrows and his eyes slowly blinked open.
Chu Hua sensed the movement and she looked up into Lu Chenjun's empty eyes. She was shocked for a moment but quickly controlled her expression.
Chu Hua blushed and pursed her lips together, trying to look cute.
She raised her voice a few pitches and gently traced circles on Lu Chenjun's chest with her finger.
"Chenjun, I'm yours now. You have to take responsibility." She said, looking up at him like a lost puppy.
Who would have thought that Lu Chenjun wouldn't show her any affection or even comfort her after hearing that?
Chu Hua nervously gulped as she tried to maintain eye contact with Lu Chenjun. His look was so scary. Chu Hua much preferred Lu Chenjun's expression when he was sleeping.
Seeing that Lu Chenjun wasn't replying, Chu Hua opened her mouth to speak again. However, she never got the chance to.
Lu Chenjun coldly pushed Chu Hua off the bed with one arm, and his face didn't show any sign of pity or compassion when he did so.
Chu Hua let out a small shriek when she realized she was still naked, and she quickly grabbed a piece of stray clothing on the floor to cover up her private parts.
Lu Chenjun propped himself up on the bed, ignoring the headache threatening at the back of his head. The pain in his temples flashed hard and hot, and this only made Lu Chenjun more angry.
Chu Hua nervously blurted out a few words, "We already slept together, so I am yours now!"
Lu Chenjun frustratingly closed his eyes and thought back to yesterday. He went into a bar and ordered a drink. It was obvious the drink was spiked, and he fainted right away.
Lu Chenjun furrowed his eyebrows as he couldn't remember anything that happened after that.
He put one hand up to his temple and gently rubbed it as he opened his eyes. His gaze fell on the red stain splattered on the white bedsheet.
Is that supposed to be blood?
Lu Chenjun smirked and raised one eyebrow while eyeing Chu Hua carefully. He leaned in towards the stain and let the blanket fall down to his waist.
Chu Hua's eyes brightened and she eagerly looked at Lu Chenjun.
The tip of Lu Chenjun's nose stopped about a centimeter away from the stain and he took a sniff of the blood.
Although it was faint, the smell of ketchup and hot sauce from the bedsheet was still distinguishable.
He looked up at Chu Hua and licked his lips. What a stupid woman.
Did Lu Chenjun figure out Chu Hua's scheme?
I have a feeling there will be a mass release this weekend. . . only need 1 more review *hint hint* :) (shameless author)
