After about an hour, Liling's hold loosened a little and Liu Wei meticulously stood up from the bed. He didn't breath till he had successfully left her room.
He took large strides to his bedroom and carefully closed the door behind him.
....
Liling woke up at exactly half past eight. She would have woken up later but the day before she had set her alarm clock since she had an appointment the next day.
It took her ten minutes to completely stand up from the bed. As she watched her reflection on the mirror in the bathroom, she felt something was amiss.
After about a few minutes, her eyes widened and her hand which held the brush stopped moving.
'I remember falling asleep in Mr Liu Wei's study, but I don't remember coming back to this room. So how did I get here?'
She remembered having a beautiful dream about her mom. In the dream, she was still little and her mom had carried her to bed. After tucking her in, she stood to leave but she held her back.
