Rita winced as she wiped her sweating hands on the black and white maid's uniform she is wearing, feeling guilty for hanging up on Yu Qiao. He is probably just worried about her Young Miss. He also mentioned that he needs to tell Mo Lihua something important.
"Young Miss! Is it alright to do that to Young Master Yu?" Rita asked Mo Lihua worriedly. Mo Lihua was lying comfortably on her bed with a warm towel covering her face. Her long, ink-black hair spread out in stark contrast to the white sheets.
Mo Lihua is wearing black lace panties, while her chest is only covered by a short towel that does not hide the sides of her breasts, and also exposes her flat stomach and her belly button ring.
Her legs are raised in the air so they make a 90-degree angle while her arms are down on both sides as she clenches her fists tightly to hold the position for a minute. Mo Lihua is really feeling too lazy to move in all honesty, but that is not enough reason for her to not do simple actions that can be called an acceptable exercise.
"What if he already realized that his girlfriend is a b*tch and the one he really loves is you?", Rita asked, eyes gleaming with hope.
Rita is aware that Yu Qiao is important to Mo Lihua, so the maid is confused as to why her Young Miss is avoiding him.
"Banana...nananana... Banana...nanananana!" The maid's phone continued to echo loudly around the room, the screen showing Young Master Yu's name. "He is calling again!", Rita exclaimed anxiously before pressing the end call button and placing it on a silent mode.
"Young Miss what do we do?" she asked as she lifted the towel from Mo Lihua's face. Her face was currently free from any traces of makeup, revealing her flawless skin - which only a handful of people were aware of.
"Ignore it," Mo Lihua replied. "You told him earlier that you were busy. He will understand," she said, her eyes are still closed as she put down her legs to settle them on top of a large white pillow.
Rita nodded, then replaced the towel on Mo Lihua's face with a warmer one. "Young Miss, he said he will tell you something very important. You do not want to hear it?" the maid asked as she noticed the phone on top of the bedside table. The phone's screen is currently lit, moving slightly due to the vibration, indicating someone is calling.
Mo Lihua snorted. "As if," she mumbled under the towel mockingly. If she is not mistaken Yu Qiao just wants to pester her regarding her imaginary boyfriend. "I need you to do something," she told Rita, slightly lifting the warm towel to show her mouth.
"What is it, Young Miss?" Rita asked curiously as she kneeled on the side of the bed to listen closely. Tilting her head, she asked, "Is it something bloody?" She sounded hopeful, eyes gleaming in excitement from just thinking about it.
"No. Behave. Killing is illegal," Mo Lihua replied firmly. "Hire a temporary boyfriend," she said seriously.
Rita frowned, "Temporary boyfriend? What for?" the maid asked in confusion.
"To pretend." Mo Lihua said, already feeling tired because of the drag. "I want someone who is tall, handsome and charming," she said subconsciously.
"Hmm… So I can ask Young Master Yu to pretend then? He is tall, handsome and charming after all," Rita commented as she looked at her phone scrolling for Yu Qiao's number so she could advise him.
"No!" Mo Lihua exclaimed before she suddenly sat up, making the towel that was covering her chest fall along with the one on her face. "Definitely not him!" she shrieked indignantly.
However she was too late because of her horror, Rita already had the phone raised to her mouth with the speaker on. Even though she can't see clearly since she isn't wearing her glasses, the familiar voice could not be mistaken for anyone else.
"Hello? Rita? I heard someone shout. Is that Lihua?!" Rita listened as Yu Qiao's voice boomed down the line. "Hey! Rita!"
She smiled nervously before answering, "Ah Young Master Yu, she is still not home, that was the movie I was watching. The Young Miss said that she will contact you when she gets home as mow is not a convenient time…" Rita explained.
"Did she mention what time she will be home?" Yu Qiao asked tightly. Rita smiled in amusement. Silly. What time? My Young Miss is already home.
"She did not mention that. I just called to update you Young Master Yu," the maid stated softly, then hung up after a brief goodbye.
"Young Miss, I am sorry…" The maid apologized. "The description fits him and it is easier if we know the temporary boyfriend, right?" Rita asked, explaining her actions.
Mo Lihua exhaled, lying back down. Rita placed the towels back on her face and chest. "Do not worry. It is best to have someone that we do not know, probably from a different university or company," she explained.
Rita already discovered what she needed to know so she immediately completed her task leaving Mo Lihua alone to rest.
The warm cloth on her face is something she needs due to the heavy makeup that she places on her face daily. Mo Lihua lifted her hand above her head and reached for the edge of the headboard, grabbing it tightly, squeezing to help her release some of her frustration. She cannot blame Rita for choosing Yu Qiao as she'd subconsciously described him. However, if he learned that she is looking for a fake boyfriend, Yu Qiao will know that she lied regarding the matter, And then he will bug her until he gets to the real reason why she did it.
"Bang!"
Mo Lihua was still deep in thought when she heard a loud noise like her door was being banged shut. "Rita, don't be too noisy. I am sleepy," she uttered nonchalantly.
