"Huh! Oh you mean what happened between him and me…well, let's see . We began by polishing off a couple of bottles of wine . One good thing about him is that he isn't stingy, when it comes to the good things in life . And why not, with a cushy job with a top MNC, he can afford to be generous," the woman cackled .
"You were talking about what happened tonight," Mei Zhen tried to steer the chatty woman back to the topic .
"Yeahhhhh, so we were deliciously drunk . He seemed in a good mood, keeping me close, being extra nice, considerate, emotional . I was really happy for that brief moment," her voice choked momentarily .
Impatience radiated out of Mei Zhen but she curbed it and handed over another bottle of water to her .
"Then what happened…" she prodded the woman, when she seemed lost in her thoughts again .
"Then!! Then that bastard took out a plethora of videos from his phone and started showing me . Some of these were videos of his ex-wife sleeping, some of her talking to someone, some while she was eating and some while she was in bath etc . It didn't seem like that she was aware of being filmed though in the videos . I saw some of them for his sake but after a point in time, I got really pissed off and told him to stop .
He looked at me and told me lovingly that he wanted me to copy all the gestures and nuances . Initially I thought it was a joke but after a few moments I realised that he was being serious about it . He wanted me to learn how to walk, talk, eat and sleep like her and then once I was perfect, we would get married – his words, not mine . He is a crazy, delusional guy . No wonder, his wife left him . I told him that I wasn't interested in being someone's 2 . 0 version and that he should stop talking now if he wanted to get another shot at this relation," she stopped to catch her breath .
"But the next minute, he climbed on top of me and asked me if I liked the lingerie which I was currently wearing . He said he had bought it because it reminded him of my eyes . Considering that my eyes are chocolate brown, I wondered how did the sea green lingerie match my eyes' colour . Before I could ask him for clarification, he started calling me Jia Li . I simply lost it at that moment and pushed him off the bed . I trashed that pair of undergarments and wore whatever I got my hands on first . I was so mad at him that I lost my cool for a bit . I guess, you heard the rest of it, yourself," she said, a bit self-conscious for the first time since she had started speaking .
Mei Zhen tried to keep her facial expressions neutral but her mind was racing away . She hadn't even bothered asking her name yet, she realised belatedly . On second thought, it didn't even matter really .
"Uh, would you like to go and check if he is still there or has left," she asked the woman .
The woman made a disgusting face and said, "not really . Would you mind terribly if I ask you to check on it for me . It won't take more than a minute and I promise not to trouble you at all after that . "
Mei Zhen was more than happy to oblige . She quickly went outside and was just in time .
"I am just leaving . Uh…thank you for helping in getting that mad woman off my neck," Fu said to Mei Zhen with a self-depreciating look .
"Go to the coffee shop downstairs and wait for me," she told him in an authoritative tone .
He looked at her, startled . He seemed to be debating within himself, but later nodded and walked away .
"He is gone now . You can go back to your room," Mei Zhen came back to her room and chased the woman out as fast as politeness allowed her .
Quickly changing into a pair of formal pants and a shirt, she left her room, in search of the guy .
Seated across him, she studied the good-looking man with almost angelic expressions . Had she not witnessed the fiasco upstairs or heard the convincing testimony of that woman, she would have a real tough time imagining the guy sitting in front of her capable of having an obsessive streak . He looked so NORMAL, almost pitiable . Wasn't that the first impression which that woman had had about him as well? He seemed to have mastered the façade well .
"I am truly sorry for what happened outside your room . You may find it difficult to believe but I do not normally find myself in such a situation . It seems like I fell for the wrong woman," he started, apology lacing his voice .
