Lina quietly excused herself from the table and went to the living room to see Mei.
She was itching to see the results of the blood test. Something about her session with Dr. Hayama that morning felt strange, and she really wanted to confirm her suspicions.
If he had really drugged her, she would definitely let Shen know.
Neither one of them were notified that using any drugs would be part of the treatment.
In fact, Dr. Yoshi had been clear in her health check ups that any psychedelics could be intrusive and harmful to her recovery process. They were trying to keep her as clean as possible.
Mei stood up as soon as Lina entered the room.
"Boss! I have the document!" she exclaimed. She was excited that she had done her part in successfully supporting her Boss' plan.
Lina quickly walked up to Mei and took the folder she offered her.
She quickly ripped up the envelope inside and scanned the contents.
At the end, there was one statement that left her puzzled: 'No toxic substances identified'
Her blood report was normal?!
How was this possible? She was hallucinating in Dr. Hayama's office! He had to have given her something!
Lina bit her lip as Mei scrutinised her Boss' expression.
"Is everything ok, boss?"
Lina looked at Mei with a complicated expression.
"That's the problem. Everything is okay. But something is off."
"Boss, will you go for another session soon?" Mei pondered.
Lina nodded determinedly. Even though something was wrong, she had to continue going. He had after all unlocked a piece of her childhood.
She wanted to know who the girl was standing in front of the burning house. She felt a closeness to the child, as if she was bearing the child's pain somewhere at the back of her mind.
But more than that, she wanted to know what Dr. Hayama was up to.
She would watch him more closely this time.
She made up her mind to tell Shen to arrange another session with the doctor.
As she was bidding Mei goodbye, she stood at the entrance of the Moshi mansion.
"Oh wait, Meimei!"
Mei turned around.
"Yes, boss?"
"How was the date?!"
Mei blushed and turned away.
Lina smiled knowingly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
"I told you it could be worth it! It was, wasn't it?" she asked, her voice brimming with giggles.
Mei nodded her curly head vigorously and got in the car that would send her back home.
When Lina went back to the dining room, Shen and Rika were also done eating and the table had been cleared.
"Sorry mother, sorry hubby, that was Mei. She came by to hand me some urgent documents!" Lina apologised as she settled herself comfortably next to her husband.
Shen kissed her head silently without saying much.
"Don't worry my dear. Father and I are so proud of you for going back to work so soon after your ongoing recovery." Rika praised Lina's dedication.
She felt a pang of guilt, however.
She hadn't been working much. She had only dealt with the B nation issue. Yet Mei and the rest of her staff had their hands full every single day.
Lina mentally decided to forget about her investigations for the time being and formally make a comeback at the office.
"Mother, Lina and I should go to bed. We've both had long days today and have work tomorrow." Shen declared this to break up the little post dinner gathering so he could continue monopolising his wife's time and body in the bedroom.
Rika laughed.
"Alright, go on you two. Good night!"
With that she gave Shen a quick hug and Lina a soft, motherly kiss on her head as she bid them goodnight.
As the happy couple closed the door to their bedroom, an extremely eager devil lifted his soft angel up in one fell swoop!
"Ahh" Lina cried, not expecting his strong arms to scoop her up so abruptly.
"You're not getting away tonight, angel." he whispered to her seductively.
His scent was absolutely intoxicating and his cool breath played games with the few loose strands of hair next to her sensitive ear, making her shiver in anticipation.
Lina mischievously tried to push him away in feigned bashfulness but he threw her on their soft, white bed and pinned her underneath him.
Lina looked up at him, her heart stopping at his gorgeousness.
Why was it that he knocked the breath out of her every time she looked at his face?
"Are you really all mine to keep?" she asked in wonder, her voice a whisper.
His well defined face was a sculpted work of art and his sexy lips seemed to keep moving towards her.
"All yours." he whispered back, encasing her mouth in his.
As if her lips had been enveloped by two soft pillows, Lina's mind drifted away as her body responded to his.
All of a sudden, the image of his freshly showered body popped into her mind when she barged into his office.
And then the image of his towel slipping and what lay underneath that came to her as well.
Flustered, her eyes flew wide open.
Panic set in.
She wanted to please this man in front of her. Her heart just wanted to be his, fulfilling his every desire.
But she just realised something.
"Darling..." she whispered.
Feeling her anxiety, he pulled back and looked at her terrified face.
"What's wrong, angel?"
She was such a resplendent beauty. He admired her sharp chin, high bones and big almond eyes. It was as if she had descended from the heavens and been gifted to him in cotton wool.
His skilled fingers gentled traced her exquisite collar bones, stopping right at the top of her slightly revealed, white, plush breasts.
He almost didn't want to stop. His desire was tugging away at his will power to slow down for her.
"I-I...I don't remember...how to..." Lina mumbled.
Shen laughed. Her awkwardness and new innocence turned him on even more.
They had done it so many times before, and tried so many naughty things.
But today, she was like a new, blushing bride, about to be taken for the first time.
