Emily woke Sunday morning feeling more rested despite everything. Timothy had kept his promise stayed awake all night, watching over her. He'd only slept a few hours in the morning while Sebastian and Davis maintained security.
Now, standing in the penthouse living room at 4:15 PM, Emily waited to meet Ming Li.Timothy stood beside her, Sebastian nearby with his laptop, Jack by the door.
"She should be here any minute," Jack said, checking his watch. "Flight landed at three-forty. Security cleared her through our private entrance."
"What should I expect?" Emily asked Timothy.
"Honestly? I'm not entirely sure," Timothy admitted. "Ming Li's... unpredictable in social situations. Brilliant in combat, but her personality is"
The elevator dinged.
The doors opened.
A tiny figure bounded out literally bounded, like an excited puppy.Ming Li was maybe five-foot-two, with a slim build and an adorable face that made her look even younger than nineteen.
