Her ears had become sensitive to the voices around her

Baby Doll was feeling uncomfortable under Emily's gaze. So, she stood up. Seeing her stand, Emily stood up as well, "What's wrong? You have not finished eating yet."

"I... I want to go to the washroom", Baby Doll hurriedly explained.

"Very well. I will go with you. You might get lost", Emily took the lead.

Baby Doll nodded and adjusted her mask and scarf. Then, she followed Emily out. On her way to the washroom, she noticed that the place was filled with high-class people.

When they entered the ladies' washroom, Baby Doll removed her mask and scarf. There she saw her reflection in the mirror, for the first time in four months. She sighed and moved inside a cubicle. It was a pity that she had to enter a washroom for some fresh air. This couldn't consider fresh in any way.

There she opened the faucet and let the water run down her palms. After that, she washed her face and walked out only after she felt relaxed. When she exited the cubicle, Emily was just standing and looking around. When she felt her approach, Emily turned and smiled, "You came. Let's go."

Baby Doll nodded and exited the washroom behind her. The restaurant they entered was a top-notch one. It was known for its tight security and was a favorite among the socialite class, making it a highly rated five-star hotel. Naturally, high-class socialites and people high up on the social ladder were coming and going.

Just then, she heard some scuffled voices.

"Sir, your meeting with Company M's ambassador will be held in a private room upstairs."

"Yeah, about that, I was already informed. Any heads up?"

Baby Doll was startled as she quickly spun around to inspect where the voice came from. It was way too...similar. Indeed, similar.

"About the matter regarding Miss Alice?" this voice seemingly sounded depressed, "There is nothing much. Sir, I think... we should just, maybe, give up."

"What did you say?" the familiar voice was raised, "I think you should be the one who should get lost!"

The sudden increase of the voice made Baby Doll look upwards. She saw a group of professionals surrounding someone. She couldn't see who it was, because he was surrounded.

Just then, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and Emily's smiling face appeared in front of her eyes, "Let's go."

"But...", Baby Doll glanced upstairs. But it was already too late. The bunch of people had already disappeared, leaving behind one, who seemed the assistant talking from before. Maybe, the one he told to get lost.

Similar? How

From that point in time, she felt that her ears had become sensitive to the voices around her. Emily escorted her out of the restaurant and left in the car. Once inside, baby Doll could finally remove her mask and scarf. Then, with pursed lips, she spoke, "About the ground rules, what were they?"

"Forget it", Emily spoke without turning, "We will discuss once we reach home."

Hearing that, Baby Doll could only sigh and purse her lips. Judging Emily, it was really difficult to understand what she was planning about. What else could she do rather than submitting herself to her fate? She could just silently watch the drama unfold. Indeed, her life was worthy of creating a drama. If she ever regained her memory, she would direct the drama herself. She would write the script herself. She would choose the female lead but regarding a male lead, she had her doubts. Following her train of thought, she chuckled deeply.

Emily turned to look in surprise. Baby Doll just stifled a laugh.
