Mina pretended to be asleep as President Lee crawled out of bed. His phone had rung in the middle of the night, and while he was quiet, she had already been awake, so she could hear his end of the conversation. Her heart beat wildly as the man sighed on the phone several times, telling Lisa that he could not meet her, but he eventually agreed. Although Mr. Wei had told Mina that the information she had was wrong, clearly it was not. Miss Luna was right; they just needed time.
As soon as President Lee left, Mina crawled into her own bed, feeling the weight of her naivety. She should have guessed that the man would not just throw away ten years of anything, just like she would not. At the end of the day Miss Lisa was a fixture in President Lee's life, someone he had gotten used to, and while the woman had made mistakes, she was clearly being forgiven.
