A Maybach stopped in front of a house in the South Lake Villa District.
James Lu parked the car and got out first. It only took a few long strides for him to arrive in front of the door.
Elizabeth Liang dragged her suitcase and quickly followed.
"Wear these for now." James found a pair of brand new men's slippers from the shoe cabinet, handed them to her, and turned to enter the living room.
"Oh." She changed her shoes, followed him to the sofa, and saw him lying on it with his eyes closed. She didn't want to disturb him, but she was a little nervous because of the unfamiliar environment. "Mr. Lu... this is..."
He opened his eyes and said, "My home. From now on, you will live here."
She nodded and looked around the house. The interior design was modern and minimalistic, simple yet stately, which suits him well.
"Right now I only have a part-timer. I will hire an attentive domestic in a few days. So, you'll just have to make do for now. Are there any problems?"
He was asking her, but he spoke with such a superior tone that it felt like he had already decided everything, and others had no choice but to obey.
Elizabeth shook her head. "The second room to the left of the stairs is a guest room, the room you'll be staying in. If you have no other questions, you can go up and rest, I want to relax on my own. Okay?"
"Okay."
Elizabeth dragged her suitcase upstairs. As she reached the turn, she looked back at him. He sat on the sofa with a cigarette in his hand. Thick smoke surrounded him, adding some melancholy to his air.
James's house was well decorated with a very nice layout. Elizabeth's room was sunny, bright, and had its own bathroom.
Elizabeth took out a set of loungewear from her suitcase, did a quick washup in the bathroom, and laid down on the bed. Last night was crazy, and today had completely exhausted her. Right now, she just wanted to have a good night's sleep.
******
Two hours passed. Maybe it's because she was in an unfamiliar environment, Elizabeth tossed and turned and just couldn't fall asleep. Her throat was parched.
