Jiang Xi collected her commission from the manager and changed back into her own clothes to get off work.
Stepping out of the bar, she was met with a wave of stifling hot air; Jiang Xi covered her mouth to retch a few times, her body reeking of alcohol and smoke, making her head throb.
Suppressing the discomfort in her stomach, she was about to leave when Gu Bichen stepped out from around a corner and blocked her path.

Gu Bichen had been waiting outside the bar for her.

Jiang Xi let out a sneer.
