Ai Ruili’s manager gave a curt nod and suddenly he stared at her ear. “Ai Ruili, where is your earring?”
“Earring?!” Ai Ruili felt her ear and asked shrilly, “Why is it gone!”
Her eyes darted around, looking for her earring.
Her manager asked, “Did you drop it when you were relieving yourself?”
“I don’t know,” Ai Ruili answered with a vacant look in her eyes.
It was as if she couldn’t remember anything at all.
“I need to look for it.” She picked up the hems of her dress and turned around.
She looked anxious.
Her manager grabbed her arm. “We don’t have time. We still have a dinner appointment at 8 p.m. with Director Liu.”
“No way! I flew to Europe just to get the earrings. It’s 180,000 yuan! I need to find it.” Ai Ruili insisted on her way and she tugged her arm away.
Her manager grabbed her and she had no choice but to stop. He turned to Zhou Shuang. “Go and help Ai Ruili find her earring. We will help you with your job.”
“I….” Zhou Shuang looked conflicted.
She was a staff from Xuxurusheng work studio.
She wasn’t Ai Ruili’s assistant alright?
Shouldn’t she send her assistant to look for her lost belongings? Or perhaps her manager could do it?
Why was her manager ordering her around?
Zhou Shuang was indignant but she didn’t want to affect the work progress by causing any unhappiness.
After weighing her priorities, she nodded reluctantly. “Alright.”
She smiled at Ai Ruili and said, “I would need to trouble you to inform Director Zhuang.”
“Got it.” Ai Ruili casually brushed her hair before she turned around.
The moment she turned around, a cold smile appeared on her face. Smugness flashed across her eyes.
Zhou Shuang smiled helplessly. She finally understood that sometimes you can’t do whatever you liked.
She glanced in the direction where Ai Ruili and her assistant had come back from. A thought struck her and she turned around to the winding road. She yelled at Ai Ruili and her entourage, “Ai… Miss…”
She needed Ai Ruili to tell her a specific place in the forest. It was filled with trees and grass, and furthermore, she wasn’t a dog. How was she supposed to track down where the celebrity had relieved herself?
She had no idea of the specific spot and her earring was so tiny. It would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
But Ai Ruili departed in a rush, so she gave up trying to get her attention. She would most probably point vaguely in a direction. And it would waste time too if she ran to get her back.
She wanted to end work earlier, too.
Ai Ruili and her assistant left some tracks when they came out. So Zhou Shuang followed the trail into the forest.
She searched along the tracks that Ai Ruili had left.
She continued walking…
“This woman walked so far in. Is she afraid of anyone peeping at her as she relieved herself?”
A face can be different in terms of appearance. But don’t all buttocks look the same?
Zhou Shuang grew impatient as she grumbled under her breath. The forest was covered with plants and grass. Luckily, she could still see some tracks on the ground as some grassed had withered.
“There isn’t any road ahead.”
Zhou Shuang followed Ai Ruili’s tracks and came to what seemed like the edge of the mountain.
