Apartment 5- Monday 8:40 am
Li Xiuying was hurriedly having breakfast at the kitchen counter. She chewed her dumpling as quickly as her jaws would allow and washed it down with a small glass of soy milk.
She put her plate and chopsticks in the sink, and wrote a note for Ren Daiyu on the mini-whiteboard on the fridge door. She wrote with the board pen 'Help yourself, see you later.'
She grabbed her briefcase and phone from the kitchen counter and rushed to the foyer. Li Xiuying hated being late. She firmly believed that if you weren't early you were late.
