'Til death do us part

Chapter 9

"Hello? Hi, is there anything I can help you with or you just want to stare? And who on earth gave you permission to open this door? You didn't even knock," she looked at his hands and noticed him holding a set of keys. "Where do you even take these?" she asked as she snatched them from him.

Zhi Gang was beyond shocked hearing her talking to him like that; a complete stranger that was inside of his apartment and wearing his husband's sleeping T-shirt was talking rudely towards him and also giving
him an attitude. He looked to the door to check the apartment number,

"Ma'am, I don't know who you are but you are half naked inside my apartment which makes me a little bit worried"

"Your apartment?" she asked.

"Uhm, yes. This is apartment 402 right?" he asked her while pointing at the number on the door. She looked up to the number and back at him again, then it hit her; it was the guy from the photos,

"Ohhh so you are the best friend? You guys must be living together-"

"What? Best friend?" Zhi Gang exclaimed

"Yes, well don't just stand there," she said, "Come on in," she grabbed his hand and pulled him inside the apartment. "I didn't know that you were around, we got here and didn't find you"

"Wait, what are you taking about and who is 'we', you and who?" he asked in confusion.

She walked to the kitchen like she was the owner of the place to finish her glass of water, "Me and Bo Xiang"

"Who is this little bitch that walks around my place like she owns it"

"How do you know him?" he asked while approaching the kitchen counter

"Well... we met at his office; I came by to bring my sister her lunch box but she didn't want to eat it. Long story short, I ended up bringing it to your friend and I have been doing so for-"

"The past five days now," Zhi Gang finished her sentence, "Oh, so you are that girl" he mumbled

"Sorry, what was that?"

"oh nothing," he paused, he looked at her from top to bottom and top again, "May I ask? Why did you end up bringing him food every day? Is there a motive behind everything that you are doing?"

"Well..." she said while smiling, she leaned in towards Zhi Gang, "I see that you two are very close which
means you share everything but promise me you won't tell him what I'm about to tell you okay?" she asked and Zhi Gang nodded. "I kind of want him"

"Huh? Want him?" he asked, "How?"

"You know, I want to date him-"

"WHAT!" Zhi Gang almost jumped upon hearing what she said, "Wait..he is-"

"Single, I know. I mean, he doesn't wear a ring; he only has you as the closest person to him. He literally
doesn't have any pictures with a girl and no girl visits him at his office apart from that little brat," she
said while mumbling on the last words

"So that makes you think he is single?" he confusingly asked

"Well yes, if he was seeing someone then he would probably have flowers in his office, pictures of that person in his office and someone bringing him food"

Zhi Gang was still amazed, not by what she said but he was amazed by how stupid she was, "My pictures
are everywhere because he is my partner; my husband, he is not wearing a ring because he took it to be polished and he doesn't have flowers because they distract him" he thought to himself
