"Detective. . ." Minnie cried, hastily standing up as she pushed documents and files off her lap. She blinked in surprise. "Wha-what are you doing here?"
Xiajun bowed in acknowledgement. "Madame, good to see you again. And you, Lili." He nodded towards her. Lili gave a stiff nod back and looked away.
Xiajun turned back to Minnie, still in quite a shock about her appearance. She literally looked like she had aged several years overnight.
Her eye bags were practically hanging down to her cheeks, and her skin was spotted with gray flecks of who knew what. She wore a gray wrap dress, which Xiajun had by now assumed she had in every single color. Even her skin poked out at awkward angles just like it had used to before, she looked especially weak.
