On the day that Hui Yin was arranged to go to Lu Shen's apartment, driver Cheng came early to her apartment and picked her up.
"Is Lu Shen already at the company?" Hui Yin asked in a hopeful voice.
Driver Cheng's eyes glanced back at her on the rearview mirror, before focusing back on the road. "Miss Hui, the boss...took the day off."
Hui Yin felt her lifespan decrease in half.
For that workaholic to take a day off on the day that she was about to move into his place was definitely not a good sign.
"Why?" Was that tyrant planning on torturing me? Is there a nearby river on the villa where he could conveniently drop my corpse?
Driver Cheng just shook his head, and gave her a wry smile. "Miss Hui, the boss doesn't share his thoughts with anyone, especially with a lowly driver like me. The person with the highest probability of communicating with him would be Miss Hui."
He glanced at the obvious disbelief on her face in the rearview mirror, and lightly shook his head. Miss Hui might not know, but the boss regarded her highly. As his personal driver, Cheng Manchu had a better understanding of his boss than most people around him.
Although his boss was a brilliant business man, he was definitely lacking in terms of emotional attachment. He was like a robot, wherein the disparity between his high IQ and low EQ was huge. For anyone to cross the border and get his attention was miraculous enough, but the obsession of the boss towards Miss Hui exceeded the limits of his stunted emotional capacity.
It was almost as if all the emotions that had been absent in the boss' life gathered like a tsunami and concentrated towards Miss Hui, going from zero to the extreme. For someone to be the center of such attention would be terrifying, but with the boss' wealth and background, if Miss Hui was willing, everything under the sun would be hers.
Cheng Manchu knew that there were many women who would trade their life just to get one-tenth of the attention his boss gave to Miss Hui. The Great Dragon King's wealth and background aside, even his looks would make any woman throw herself at him.
Unaware of the driver's thoughts, Hui Yin propped her chin with one hand, feeling gloomy.
She searched the night before for a cheap apartment far away from her current place, but the cost of even the shabbiest and cheapest one exceeded her limited budget. Her salary from the PV would arrive next week, and it was unusually high, but it would not support Hui Yin for long.
Once she broke the engagement, she needed to run, and run fast.
The Maybach slowly cruised in front of an opulent gate, which swung open without hesitation. They came into a wide circular courtyard, and driver Cheng stopped in front of a wide veranda. There were a bevy of maids that greeted Hui Yin as she stepped out, and driver Cheng pulled out her luggage from the trunk.
Hui Yin looked around. This was not the mansion she lived in during their marriage, so she knew that it was the place Lu Shen stayed during his bachelor days. Hui Yin had not been here before, and she was a bit curious.
There were several bodyguards around the perimeter, and Lu Shen even hired a butler to manage the villa. Hui Yin counted the number of different workers and realized that she couldn't find a chef in sight. This gave her a sense of dark foreboding.
Maybe the housekeeper was the one who cooked the food.
Hui Yin grabbed her luggage and went past the living room to trudge slowly towards the stairs. As she took the first step, she heard a door open on the second floor and glanced up.
Lu Shen was leaning on the banister, coolly watching her with his arms crossed over his chest.
