A Billion Dollar Exchange

79 You came back late, Fish Head!

"Nice comment!"

Liling turned instinctively to look at the intruder. She recognized her as one of the three girls at the dining table, though not the one with the cold shoulder.

"I'm Kim, and you're Liling right? "

The girl sat down beside her with a smile on her face. Liling looked at her for a while, she didn't seem like a bad person.

Since she was new here, she could need a friend.

"Yes, nice meeting you"

Liling smiled and she shook the hand which Kim had already extended.

"Mmm, seems you hate that couple, did she snatch your boyfriend? "

She asked as she diverted her gaze to the phone on Liling's hands.

Liling chucked and shook her head in denial.

Kim was a talkative, she reminded Liling of Xin Yong.

She talked about almost everything, that was when Liling realized that the girl with a cold shoulder was the former personal maid to Liu Wei and her name was Yan Ran. Though Qianru had said her name during the introduction, she didn't pay much attention.

Kim talked about the strict young master and how he was very hard to please. She said she very much avoided any work that would make her meet him and that he was very bossy and mean.

Liling just listened to her, she laughed at some of her statements.

The funny thing about Kim was the way she expressed her views. She was always demonstrating or imitating the person she was talking about.

Liling just liked her personality, Kim talked till her mouth ached. It was around ten minutes past ten but Liu Wei hadn't returned yet.

Kim told her she wanted to sleep and that she would see her the next day. Liling was feeling sleepy too but she couldn't afford not being on her duty post on her first day of work.

She smiled at Kim and wished her a goodnight as Kim left for her room.

.....

Liu Wei stepped out of his car by half past eleven, he closed the door and casually walked to the entrance of his house.

He paused in his tracks when he saw a figure nodding her head on the seat in the balcony.

Liling had a very long hair, so it covered almost all her face as she slept. Her phone had obviously fallen off her hand as her head swayed left and right.

Liu Wei frowned at the figure sleeping outside by half past eleven. He shook his head and made to walk inside before he stopped in his tracks and turned to glance at the person on the seat again.

He thought for a second and immediately walked to the figure on the seat. He hesitated for a moment but later squatted down and shifted her hair from her face.

Liu Wei smiled mischievously seeing that it was her. He watched her sleeping face for a moment then picked up her phone from the floor and stood up.

He immediately put on a straight face and called her in the most professional manner.

"Liling... Miss Lee Liling! "

He increased his voice which made the sleepy head to jump up from the seat.

She was surprised to see Liu Wei in front of her. It took her a moment to realize she had slept off, but as she was about to apologize Liu Wei cut her off.

"Miss, sleeping on the first day of work?, is that how you behave?"

Liu Wei shook his head, turned and walked away still holding her phone.

Liling was dumbfounded, the sleep had already vanished from her eyes.

'You came back late fish head! it's past eleven!. How did you expect a poor girl like me to stay awake?.'

Liling fumed as she watched Liu Wei's retreating figure, her eyes immediately widened when she realized that she was to prepare his bath.
