[YEAR 2019: ZOEY'S PREVIOUS LIFE. CORA'S WAKE]
"Madam, your food is here." From outside the door, a faint voice of a woman reached Zoey's ear.
Zoey slightly moved her arm from her eyes, her eyes had lost their life and gleam. Just like her spacious yet obscure room, her world had been grey for a long time. She's been in this world ever since he left… they left this world.
"I need more wine." Slowly, Zoey dragged her upper body up, sitting up on the king size bed that was uselessly large for her. "Get me more wine!" She ordered, raising her voice so the person outside could hear her.
"Madam Zhou, but Madam Xi said…"
"I don't care!" Within a snap of her finger, Zoey hysterically screamed. Her scream resonated across her silent room, echoing for a few times until it went silent again.
"Yes, Madam Zhou." Zoey heard the woman outside abide in fear, and then silence followed.
