What a woman.

I kissed her again…

And then we set out plan into motion.

Twenty minutes later, Mei-ling was dressed to leave the penthouse. Her hair was wet and in disarray, and her makeup was completely gone.

She was still the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

I put on a hotel robe and walked her out to the main room.

The two gangsters smirked like,We heard what you two were doing in there.

Mei-ling told the thugs in Cantonese that I wanted breakfast from room service…

Then she gave me one last kiss and walked out.

The gangsters watched her go, their gazes fixed on her ass.

When they turned back to look at me, there was a new level of respect in their faces.

I extended my thumb and pinky, making the shape of a phone with my hand, and held it up to my ear.

“Room service,” I said impatiently.

“Yes, boss,” the lead gangster said with a smirk as he walked over to the phone.

I put on my clothes while I waited.

After I was fully dressed, I opened my safe and put my passport in my back pocket. I guess Han hadn’t bothered to take it because he didn’t think I could get past his men.

The food came in 20 minutes. The hotel employee had just enough time to wheel in the cart before the two gangsters chased him away.

Not only was there a continental breakfast, but the gangster had ordered two more cheeseburgers for him and his friend.

While they wolfed their food down, I ate my breakfast leisurely, as though I didn’t have a care in the world.

By the time I was finished, forty minutes had passed since Mei-ling had left.

I was just pouring a last cup of coffee when the fire alarm started, piercing the air with an ear-shattering shriek.

The leader of the two gangsters cursed but didn’t move.

The other thug said something, and they began arguing.

I assumed the leader didn’t want to take the chance of letting me out of the penthouse.

That was when I pointed out the window and shouted, “Look!”

Both men glanced over at the plume of smoke drifting past our window.

The leader cursed again, then pointed at me and motioned towards the door. “We go.”

“Hold on,” I said as I ran for the bedroom.

The leader yelled at me angrily and followed.
