[2] The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You

Chapter 232

"CEO Kim, aren't you going to go play mahjong with them?"

By the side, someone asked.

Jennie shook her head with a smile and chatted briefly with a well-dressed old CEO by her side.

The old CEO noticed that she held a room card in her hands and asked about it.

She casually placed it on the table: "It's nothing much. One of my friends asked me to hold onto it temporarily."

Shen Mu had already left for twenty minutes, yet Jennie had no plans to stand up.

At the twenty-minute mark, Shen Mu called her. Jennie glanced at the displayed number and picked up her bag and the room card to step out.

She stood outside the door to answer his call. It was extremely noisy on Shen Mu's side, and he was truly playing mahjong. She could hear voices nagging at him to make a move quickly.

"CEO Kim, have you headed over?" Shen Mu took the time amid the chaos to ask her.

"No, the room card is with me. I'll hand it to someone from housekeeping before I leave. You can take it from them later."

It was quiet on the other end for a moment before she heard the people noisily demanding: "Aiya, Little Shen, why did you suddenly stand up. Are you not playing anymore? Let's continue. We haven't even finished. You've been winning for so long, so you can't just leave like this. Quick, let's continue..."

"Then I won't trouble you, CEO Kim. I'll head to the pharmacy personally now." Shen Mu did not say more, and it sounded like he was preparing to head out of the room.

However, the elites around him kept holding him back. It was indeed awkward for someone who had just won several rounds to take his leave. This led many of them to feel dissatisfied with him.

Jennie could hear the movements on the other side and sensed that Shen Mu had really stood up and opened the door. She turned to look at next door's entrance and was silent for a moment before speaking: "Forget it. Continue with your game. You can't afford to offend those elites sitting at the mahjong table."

She did not wait for Shen Mu's reply and hung up.

After leaving the hotel, Jennie searched for a long while before she finally found a pharmacy. She thought to buy some medication that could soothe one's mind but was informed that those sorts of medication could negatively impact health. The employee recommended for her to buy various Korean medicine broths and soothing incense instead.

These days, consumers were obsessed with trends. It was common to use essential oils as fragrance in rooms. Since the hotel was a six-star hotel, and often housed old CEOs who are used to luxury, Jennie felt that they would surely have little modern incense burners available.

As for the medicine broths, those needed to be heated up before consumption. It was already late in the evening, and the private rooms were meant for them to rest temporarily; they did not come with a private kitchen area. The medicine broths were ill-suited for this occasion.

Jennie contemplated for a while. It was difficult to understand exactly how serious Lisa's insomnia had been in the past few years from the simple way Shen Mu had described it. As medication really should not be taken carelessly, she finally decided to purchase a packet of soothing incense.

After worrying that there wouldn't be a burner available in the room, she headed to the housekeeping service and received a small, silver one. As expected, people these days were far too used to luxury. The hotel actually had many prepared, and the small burner they provided was delicately crafted.
