First day at Work

Ling Feiji yawned and stretched out on her bed, she smiled when she remembered the night before. She had certainly shown that she was not to be messed with! But she frowned when she realized she would have to work for Lu Shangbi.

She got up slowly, relishing the misty morning air. She pulled out the crisp uniform that was laid on her bed, and strapped on a couple hidden knives just in case. One in her shoe, one underneath the waist of her dress and a small one in her hair.

Lu Shangbi woke up disgruntled, tired, and craving a red bean bun. He was still sour about the maid's rejection and the mysterious figure who beat up his sister and snuck into his room. He was pretty sure that the mysterious figure was the maid, Ling Feiji, but he would know for sure when she worked for him today.

Currently, she was scrubbing the bedpost and wiping the sweat from her eyes. He almost started daydreaming again, but he stopped himself, he had a job to do.

He slowly got up and made his way around her, picking up a vase as he went. Lu Shangbi's plan was to have her hold it, then push her to make her theoreticaly drop it if she didn't have good reflexes.

She grabbed it tightly with her wet, soap soaked hands, he unceremoniously bumped into her with an 'oomph'.

He watched as she started falling to the ground and...
