"i want you to get this person's information, the deadline will be tomorrow. leave the papers on my desk, miss yuheng." i said then send his full name include aether's address to clarify easily of my friend's information.
silence.
keqing must have been busy at the agency recently, it quite pleasant how busy she was even though we're the same age and act so mature just like how i am. a fainted sound was heard through my phone then the sound of her sighed as well, "well feng, it looks like i finally look through this person is.." she said, "however, i did my best all of this information i gather about aether hikari." then hear her sigh in disappointed.
i walked around in circles and leaned on the door, making sure that no one gets in, "what's the bad news?" a sound on the tip of my tongue ticked as i askedand waited for her to respond.
"half of his info was blocked, only i could see was his personal and his life. his occupation was a working student but his job was hidden or blocked, whoever made this, what a smartass."
i almost laughed based on what she said, keqing was very talented to gather other information or any other related on her computer. she is an organized and cheap girl i have ever met, she is indeed useful from my father's agency also a simp for my father, she is homeschooled since she start working.

he look exhausted then fell on his bed, "are you going to sleep now?" i asked but he shook his head.
"i have to take a short bath, you should too.. i'll spare you of my clothes since you're staying h-here." he said.
damn i forgot that i'm in his house but he seemed to be comfortable talking of how tired he was. "i'll be going now." then he left with his feet dragged on the floor.

after that aether came in with his shirt on, come to think of it.. his body was thin and full of marks and bruises, no wonder why i could carry him easily. he startled when i looked at him then covered his body, "y-you shouldn't see me like this, it wasn't r-rosaria's— a-ah—!"
