In the morning when Xu Kai woke from the couch, he looked towards but found it empty. He stood and went to the bathroom door and knocked but there was no response. He opened the door and found out it was empty inside.
He decided to take his shower, once he got dressed, he went downstairs but still there was no sight of her. He pulled out a chair in the dining room and sat down. Mr. Wang came over with his breakfast.
"Where is Cheng Xiao?" Xu Kai asked.
"Madam left early today." Mr. Wang replied and bowed before going back to the kitchen.
The maids in the kitchen watched as he ate alone and started with their gossiping.
"Do you think something happened between them?" One of them asked.
"I think they fought." Another one said.
"From what I have seen Ms. Cheng doesn't seem to like Mr. Xu that much." Another one said.
"What is there not to like about Mr. Xu, he is rich and treats us well." The maid with bangs said.
"Really, she is really crazy." Said a maid with a bob haircut.
"Do you really not want to work anymore?" Mr. Wang asked when he entered the kitchen.
"Sorry Mr. Wang!" They said with their heads facing down.
"Mr. Xu likes her, who are you to judge her if she is good or not good enough for me?" He asked them but they looked down on the floor in embarrassment.
"The matter of their relationship is theirs and not a topic for you guys to be busy gossiping about." He said and they nodded and apologized once more.
"Now go back to work, don't let me catch gossiping about Madam again." Mr. Wang said in a warning, and they hurried went away.
One thing for sure was that they did not want to lose their jobs, after all even though they worked as maids, their salary was more than enough to support their families. One of them was able to send her son to study in a very nice school.
Xu Kai stood after he at a few bites, he had no appetite to begin with. He left and got into the car; the drive drove straight to the company. Once he was in his office, he buried himself in work.
Cheng Xiao was in a bad mood and just wanted to work in silence, but Gu Xixi would not let that happen. She just had to take a look at Cheng Xiao and had an idea.
"Oh, look who it is?" Gu Xixi spoke approaching Cheng Xiao
