The hard question

'Guiying' narrowed her eyes in the period of silence that stretched between them. "So it's not some mysterious fan lover for you. You already know who it is."

"I kind of guessed it. There was always a subtle atmosphere between Guiying and Sir Zixin. Your entry as his assistant was suspicious itself for me. I never believed that Assistant Ling needed an assistant, yet a helping hand was hired. I surmised either you had something to do with him personally or Sir Zixin. Then I slowly started to get the feeling that maybe it is Sir. Today, he was specifically searching for you in the crowd, right? He wanted you to join in the celebration. I could feel his gaze at you."

'She' shrugged. "Good observation."

"So I am right."

'Guiying' looked at her and admitted. "It would feel terrible to gaslight a smart woman like you so I will just go ahead and say yes."
