Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife

"Is this...?" Staring at it more she tried to determine if it was in fact what she thought it was. No matter how she looked at it though she was right. Throwing it into the trash she rewashed her hands under the sink and used a paper towel to dry off her hands. Pulling open the door she walked back to the room at a regular pace. She didn't want to alarm anyone and everything was still under her control.

Once she reached their room she stepped inside leaving her shoes at the door step. She immediately went back to her spot but sat a lot closer to Xi Long. Leaning towards him she signalled him to lean in as well before she whispered into his ear.

"The waitress is taped." The second she said that she could feel his body tense up. She didn't have to explain what 'taped' meant, in the black market taping usually referred to visual more than auditory. His gaze was cold as he looked to her for more information. "I saw her in the bathroom taking something out of the box. Found a camera piece on the floor where she was."

Leaning back she picked up her glass and took a sip of her cooled tea. It was obvious that they could not let this slide so she let him think about how he wanted to handle things.

"What's going on?" Sensing the different aura his face dropped into a serious expression. His previous joking exterior was gone and a caculative man was left behind. Hearing his question Xi Long leaned over and whispered into his ears. They had to remain quiet lest there was anything else in this room that was watching them. While the chances were low they had to make some precautions.

"What's going on? Just telling XiXi that we should come back here to eat again without you." Ying Yue added in a comedic comment to cover any of the seriousness in the room. They had to maintain the old vibe until the waitress entered the room. Once she did they would be able to capture her and extract more information. Or at least catch her in the act. It was a lot safer that she was here with them today lest they were caught up alone with her. Obviously she had ulterior motives but considering her gender it could become a scandal. They could spin a s.e.x.u.a.l assault story, though she had doubts it would make it to paper but words were powerful in itself. Not that Xi Long would care but her presence did make things a lot easier.

Following her cue Zhuang Wei eased up his face and went back to his original joking exterior. "Waah again with the betrayal. I hope you guys go alone because I really cannot stand being around you both!"

Laughing along his joke, Ying Yue reached her palm over and grabbed Xi Long's without looking at him. She pulled it over and placed it onto her l.a.p. Using her finger she started writing out characters into his palm. She had questions to ask him without alerting anybody else. If there was a camera in the room they would think that she was flirting or playing around.

>> Do you have any weapons on you?<< She knew he had his gun but wanted to know if he hsd anything else of use. Her one small blade was okay depending on the severity of the situation.

Using her idea, he lifted his hand to respond via his finger on her palm. >> gun only.<<

Turning to glare at him she felt annoyance inside. 'This man really only went out with a gun, every moment I spend with him I wonder how he made it so far acting like this.' Maybe she had different standards of safety but he was low on basics. >> what about Wei.<< She was too lazy to write his whole name out and just used a nickname. She felt a quick pinch on her hand before he signed back "gun."

Both men were absolutely useless in her eyes. Reaching over to the food she grabbed the spare table knife and pretended to drop it on the floor. Using a napkin she wiped at her pants as if she had stained herself.

"You're so messy." Xi Long passed her his glass of water and left it by her legs. This was done as if it was to be the liquid to help wash out the "stain." But its true intentions were that she could easily break the glass and use the pieces as weapons. There had to be some improvisation considering their situation.

As if on cue, not even a couple minutes later there was a knock on the door. Taking a quick but sharp glance at Zhuang Wei they all signalled to let her in.

"Come in." There was a small pause as they all waited for the door to open. The waitress walked in and did a bow towards the group before looking up. She maintained a professional smile as the waitress looked at them.

"Is the meal to your p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e? Would you like to order anything else?"

Zhuang Wei had taken the role of speaker for the group. "No the meal was great as always, send the chef our compliments."

"Will do sir."

"Before we get the bill, our female acquaintance has accidentally spilled her food. Do you by chance have something to take the stain out?"

"Ah yes, if you don't mind....I seemed to have drop some curry on my pants. You can see the stain here."

The waitress seemed slightly taken aback but nodded regardless. As it was expected the waitress moved closer to take a look at the potential stain. Using this momentum, Ying Yue waited until the right moment before tripping her onto the floor. She let the waitress drop over her legs as she swiveled out from under her and sat on top of her. Pulling out the table knife she held it against her neck before speaking.

"Don't move or it will pierce your skin." Even though she did not know where the camera was she had a feeling it was tied to the front of her blouse. It would make sense as she had noticed that a button had opened earlier in the dinner that was closed prior. Which in hindsight, was the waitress prepping to install the hidden piece.

Leaning down she stabilized her position before taking both the waitress' arms behind her back into one hand while she kept the knife in her other. "Who do you work for?"
