279 The Job Offer

Back to the present.

There was a loud banging on Lian's hotel room in the middle of the night. Ha-joon had been ringing the doorbell for half an hour. 

She had earlier returned to the Four Seasons along with the rest of the Xias and just as Andrea instructed her; she did not show up for her coffee meet with Ha-joon. Now, he was at her door, furious at being stood up. 

"Lian! Open the door!" Ha-joon called. 

From inside the hotel room, Lian was on the phone with Yanmei. She asked, "What do I do now?"

She was in her sleeping dress, with messy hair made purpose, walking back and forth before the bed. 

"Do you look like you came from your sleep?" Yanmei asked on the other line. 

"Yes! Yes! I absolutely look like I just woke up!" Said Lian. 

"Then do as we had discussed. Good luck!" Said Yanmei. "Trust me. After this, he will be asking you to work for him! Andy already called her friend and will be working with you on this goal."
