By the time we finished cleaning up, it was already past seven o'clock. Xiao Hua had prepared a simple breakfast, and after eating, the three of us were ready to head to the company together.
Who would have known that just as we were about to leave, we bumped right into Xiao Mei.
"Xiao Mei, you're back," I said with an awkward smile. Dazhuang even lowered his head, seeming to feel like a thief caught in the act.
"Sister Qin? Master Dazhuang? What are you doing here?" Xiao Mei eyed Dazhuang and me with suspicion.
I was taken aback by her question and didn't know how to respond.
Luckily, Xiao Hua quickly reacted and said, "Well... they just happened to be passing by downstairs, so I invited them up for breakfast."
"Right, there are two eggs left in the pot. Eat them while they're hot, and I'll wait for you before we go to the company."
Although Xiao Hua's explanation was a bit far-fetched, Xiao Mei didn't ask any more questions and listlessly walked into the kitchen.
