I didn't know what I was thinking. After making the call, I was once again lost in thought.
Why would I call Vince Yi when I was lonely and helpless? He was just a stranger who had intimate moments with me in a darkened room without seeing each other’s face. Why was he the first one that came to my mind?
Actually I knew the simple reason: he was the first man who had shared a meaningful form of physical relationship with me. At the same time, I was curious about what he looked like.
As night fell, I put on an exquisite make-up and picked a slim-fitting dress. I was nervous, regretting making that phone call. But when I checked the time, it was already late and Jerry hadn't come back yet. I realized he was probably with Duo Lian again. I made up my mind, so I left the house and took a taxi.
I soon arrived at the Emperor Hotel. I went to the reception and wanted to book the same room last time, but was informed that the room had been booked already.
Hearing this, I felt so relieved. Since the old place had been reserved by someone else, then my appointment with Vince should also be canceled. I was able to find an excuse not to go up there.
I pulled my phone out of my bag, found the number of Vince and dialed it, he picked up the phone as soon as I called.
"Come upstairs!" I was shocked by his simple words.
It turned out that he'd already booked that room and was waiting for me to go up, but how could he know I was coming? Was it guesswork? If it was, he must be a marvelous soothsayer.
Urged by him, I was in a passive position. My legs were as heavy as lead. I couldn’t move, staring at the elevator not far away, it was already on the first floor.
"Hello, are you Miss Mo?" A waitress behind me asked, smiling sweetly and politely.
I looked at her in puzzlement and nodded my head.
The waitress handed me a room card and asked me to take it.
