Peekaboo

When she got to the hotel, it was already evening, too late for her to go out and poke around in the town. The weather was cold, with the snow falling heavier than it had done during the day. All the boutiques and clothing shops were displaying down jackets, hats, gloves and the like.

In such weather, most people were eager to close up shop and seek the comfortable warmth of home. Instead of looking around for answers, she checked into her room in the hotel and took a shower.

From there, she called her brother and congratulated him upon bagging Chen Chu. Then she called Muyang so that she could speak to Mei-Mei.

When he picked up, from his background, she could tell that he was still in his office.

"Eh, why are you still at work, it's coming to six p.m. shouldn't you be heading home?" she asked. She was in a bathrobe, drying her hair with a towel.
