The New me

I know that eavesdropping was a bad habit but it can help you survive once in a while. Should you try it? It's for you to decide.

Now the backstory is slowly forming. Sure enough, she had a reason for her actions.

The two quickly went out after their short talk with no clue that I was just sitting behind them. Once there was already no sound of them, I peeked at the gap of the screen before totally going out.

The staff that I bought happened to be passing by when I returned to the hall and he totally acted like he did not know me. Props to you!

I glanced at the crowd and noticed that Lily was back to being a social butterfly. She's speaking with a few groups of women together with Cindy. Jade told them something, maybe to excuse her own as I saw her head out.

Must be to go on the room she booked? What evil things is she plotting? I was intrigued so I followed her the second time. The night was still long and the people inside hasn't decreased so even if one were to go out, it won't be found out.

She used the back door to go into the elevator and went down to the 15th floor. I rode the same elevator after she drops off and pressed the same number.

I was met with a blank hall like it was totally deserted. I noticed how small the walkway was and assumed that we were in a special area. This hotel has a secret space each floor with one special room that only members were allowed to book. If I walk straight then I'll see the room at the corner.

Removing my heels, I walked softly and head straight. My heartfelt excited and nervous about what I may again discover. I kept my head lowered the whole time in case there was a CCTV. The left corner was a dead end so I could only turn right. There was a huge potted plant before me so I went and hid behind as I heard some murmurs.

There was no door for the special room that's maybe the reason why the hallway was deserted.

"I miss you so much." It was Jade's voice.

"Careful, don't let your make up smudge my shirt." Said by a male voice.

"No, let me hug you for a few more minutes. Brother, I missed your body." Jade said in reply. Her voice was as sweet as honey.

And I was like, 'WTF?'

Then came in the man's chuckle, "Sorry if I neglected you this past month. Do you understand why right? Your sister had been taking so much of my time ever since she came back. But don't worry; I'll make it up to you soon."

Then I heard Jade's yelp followed by some giggling and clothes were thrown to the ground. Even a ten-year-old should know what it meant.

For f**** sake, they went for a cliché route. The husband was having an affair with his sister-in-law!

Footage taken from this side wouldn't do well in cinemas. Gosh! How I regret not having enough courage to film, I'm sure tabloids will have a feast if I sell it to them. Well, there was always the second option; take pictures as evidence.

I took one shot to get their surroundings in a frame and at least four shots with their upper body tangled. There was no face but you can recognize that pixie cut. I took the chance of them being in euphoria in getting a few pieces from them.

Using my selfie stick I extended it in front to get that thong and necktie that was the closest to me. Once I was sure that they were oblivious to their surroundings then I crawled fast until I reached the elevator. My sweats were formed as I rode it and return to the dining hall.

Now I get why Lily and Jade were close.

When I returned, father was looking for me.

"Where'd you go young lady?" Father's voice was a little stern.

"To the lounge? Why dad? Miss me?" I winked and told him.

He sighed after I did that and said, "I was only meaning to introduce you to a person. Someone whose roots are greater than us."

"Oh, where is the person then?" I said as I tried to peek behind him.

"Forget it. He went back. He only came for a quick visit." He chatted with me for a while before letting go.

I went again to the buffet table to get some sweets to fill my stomach. I positioned myself at the edge so that I won't be inconveniencing the other guests.

When I was done eating few plates, I went and appeared before the guy at the lounge.

"Something I can help you with mam?" he politely asked.

I cast a long glance at him before speaking, "you have a friend working in the surveillance room?"

"I'm sorry mam." He said then quickly turned around.

Shoot!

"Double." I hastily said and the guy turned his head sideways to look at me with a questioning look.

"Fine," I said as I held my hand up in front of him indicating the amount I'll give.

The opportunist guy finally revealed the same smile as he gestured to follow him. We went somewhere there were no people.

"So what is the job mam?" He asked sincerely as his hand was waiting for something.

I rolled my eyes as I gave him another cheque. "Have him destroy the footage in the 15th floor of the special area during the last 20 minutes or if he can't then just replace it with a clean one. Understood?"

"I see. I understand. Then this one shall take his leave and do some errands. Mam should go back." He said as he showed me the way back.

"Also, have someone toss his necktie just before the corner," I said then gave him some cash.

I did some unnecessary things today so I need to do some cleanups. I know at least that Jade can function even without her thong. H*ck, a lot of women do gift their used ones to the males but if after two hours past and Mr. Wang found out that his necktie was missing then there'll be an investigation underway. I need to avoid it.
