Shao Lin woke the Monday morning.
She had cleared her schedule to attend the expensive date she bought with Long Yat-sen that day. She reminded herself that it was to get to know him, but the money she spent on him went to charity, making her feel better about the situation she brought herself in.
Shao Lin washed up and ate a light breakfast before putting on a light yellow dress with white polka dots. She put her hair half-up and down in her usual style and finished by strapping on a pair of wedges that made her appear slightly taller.
She heard a car pull up in front of her driveway, so she quickly descended the stairs with her things. And by the door, she took a deep breath before stepping outside.
It was a beautiful sunny morning, the weather neither feeling too cool nor warm. It was quiet, save for the calm wind and the morning birds chirping. She locked up her house, stepping down her driveway when she slid into the car Long Yat-sen sent her.
