The entire night, Lijuan didn't sleep. She turned her room upside down as she searched for both the pen and drawing but still didn't find neither of them.
By 4am when she was sure she wasn't going to see it anywhere, she took out her sketchbook and began to draw.
By the time she heard the first knock on her door inviting her for breakfast, she already used up all the space on her sketchbook and had papers littered everywhere.
"I'll be down shortly." She informed the maid and stood up begrudgingly. Her muscles screamed in protest but she simply stretched by doing a little push up before going to her dressing table.
She flinched in shock when she saw her reflection on the mirror. Her eyes were sullen and dull. She had panda eyes and her hair was messy.
She cringed at her sight and began to fix her hair. When she was done, she went to the bathroom to wash her face and also brush her teeth quickly before treading downstairs in her pyjamas.
