“So, what’s the story on Kai Liao?”
Ling Liao raised her hand then sipped on her water slowly, she sighed with a satisfied smile. The lounge room was dipped in red, from the walls to the ceilings, and paintings of nature were plenty.
“He is the seventh son of the Liao clan, and as you can see he is eager to prove himself.”
“That’s one way to put it.” You sip on the cool water, there was a flowery aftertaste. “Huh. I thought this was water.”
“Infused with hibiscus. Us Liao Clan are known for our hospitality.”
“Am I a guest?” You cautiously watch her arms, the exits, and look behind you.
“Of course.” Ling Liao nodded, she crossed her legs and leaned back. “However, I would prefer a professional relationship rather than being a simple guest. I can tel you’re a man who separates business and pleasure. Unlike Kai.”
“I can consider it.”
Two maids arrived and placed a plate of moon cakes with red colored tea. A suited man brought a vanilla folder on a tray. Ling Liao read the contents of the folder. You take a bite of the mooncake and quietly sip on the tea.
“Done reading my past?” You go for your second mooncake.
“What little of it there was. You must have paid a substantial amount to have your past scrubbed cleaned. That, and you have red hair yet the traits of a huma-sapien. So I can assume one of your parents are from Beatha Beinn and the other Vespera.”

>“That can’t be all you have, I know the Liao Clan isn’t just known for hospitality.”
