After the yacht drove back to the dock and docked, Fang Songqi was sent to the airport by Wei Bi as promised, and then regained his freedom!

In order to celebrate, she looked at the time before the boarding time, happily went to the duty-free shop, and used the card swipe that Lin had just given her before leaving to buy cosmetics!

However, the excitement of shopping could not suppress the increasingly burning feeling in his throat and the sourness of his eyes, and Fang Songqi basically judged that he was afraid of a fever.

And it wasn't an ordinary cold and fever on the inner thigh, and the pain of the wound spread, like thousands of fire ants slowly crawling, tearing her flesh and skin, inch by inch.

She went to the bathroom to check the wound.

In order not to let the cloth of the pants wear it harder, she deliberately wore a skirt, but she still couldn't stop the expansion of the opening.

The current conditions do not allow, and she can only use a new band-aid to barely block it first, and then go to the hospital when she returns to Liucheng.

Master Qian called on time to report to her the latest situation of Xu Jing.

"Yesterday I started to change to a new drug, and the doctor said to see the effect after a course of treatment. Also, I heard that there are new deceased donors. "He always picks positive news to give her encouragement indirectly.

But it's been a few years, and similar news comes every three or five times, and Fang Songqi's heart can't even make a ripple.

Occasionally, when she was at the extreme, she didn't think about it, if Xu Jing's illness was terminal, how good would it be if it couldn't be cured at all?

Desperate people only have to face the collapsed ruins, but hope forces people to stand up in front of the ruins and muster up the courage to face the next collapse that may occur.

"yes, I see. Fang Songqi responded, carrying the freshly harvested loot and duffel bag, and went to the direction of the VIP lounge, "Is there anything else?"

Master Qian hesitated: "Miss Fang, didn't you reply to Xiao Jing again? Even though I've told him you're okay, he'd prefer you to respond. ”

This time it was not Fang Songqi's intention, but she jumped out of the car that day and left her mobile phone on Lin Shinian's car, it seems that she did receive Xu Jing's concern, she couldn't reply at the current time, and then she was busy fighting wits and courage with Lin Shinian, so she didn't think about it.

"I'll look at it. Fang Songqi frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Master Qian, "Supervise him to read books without bothering." Also, the use of the mobile phone is also controlled, and sometimes he also sends me a message in the middle of the night. You don't have to sleep? He doesn't bother me. ”

As he was talking, he collided with a man who was also talking on the phone when he came over.

Fang Songqi stumbled violently and hurriedly went to fish for the mobile phone that fell off from his hand.

"Blind, isn't it?!" The body was uncomfortable, obedient, and the mood was bad, she opened her mouth to scold, not realizing that it was actually her own mental trance that went astray.

The other party didn't care about her, and took the initiative to take responsibility: "I'm sorry!

Bending over, Bang Fang Songqi picked up the duffel bag and shopping bag that had fallen on the ground and handed them back to her.

Fang Songqi didn't appreciate it at all, he dragged it back into his hand, shook his head and left.

Shen Ye watched her back with her high heels clattering, touched her nose, shook her head helplessly, and checked to confirm that her baby camera was not damaged, so he raised his mobile phone and continued to talk on the phone: "It's okay, I hit someone." We go on to say"

It was only a few words, but he was stunned again, because he saw Fang Songqi not far away suddenly fall to the ground.

As soon as his face changed, he rushed over, and as soon as he touched her hand, he felt that her whole body was as hot as fire: "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you still a cow or a lang" in a daze, Fang Songqi only responded to this sentence, his face turned off, and he fainted completely.

Shen Ye: "???"

Others around have been busy calling the airport's medical center.

Shen Ye didn't know what was wrong with her, so he didn't dare to mess with her, and when he saw that her mobile phone was still talking to someone, he hurriedly picked it up: "Hey, hello, are you this young lady's family? ”

“”

After the person was taken away by the medical staff, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and Shen Ye did not linger any longer, before leaving, he saw that the book had dropped on the ground, he raised his eyebrows, picked it up, smiled, wiped the dust on the cover, and put it in his bag for the time being.

Then I dialed back the phone call that had been interrupted twice, and finally finished speaking: "It's the latest issue, there is an article"

People are not as good as heaven, Fang Songqi is simply powerless to complain about his body, he can't hold on the ground for an extra hour or two, and he will faint again when he returns to Liucheng?

It was the next day when I opened my eyes again.

His head was still a little drowsy, his hands and feet were weak and weak, his throat was dry and painful, his eyes were still sore, and he clearly felt that his inner thighs were alternating between hot and cold.

Fang Songqi sat up from the bed and lifted his nightdress to see the condition of the wound, but this movement made the back of his hand feel inexplicably painful.

It's that the ** in the drip rack next to the bed is empty, and the blood has flowed back.

Wipe!

Secretly burst out of the sentence, and she pulled out the tape and needle.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw that on the sofa chair by the window, the Filipino maid was napping with her elbow propped up her head, as if she was really tired, and her head kept going down, and she didn't wake up no matter how she planted it.

Fang Songqi didn't disturb her, he took the shawl from the hanger, wrapped his body, and walked out of the room lightly.

I don't know what the hell this is, the house is very big, the interior layout and decoration of the European-style villa are luxurious, and the texture of the staircase railing is very different just from her.

However, I didn't see anyone all the way, until I went down to the living room on the first floor, through the floor-to-ceiling window glass of almost the entire wall, on the lawn that I couldn't see at a glance, it was suspected that Lin Shinian's back was swinging a club.

Fang Songqi walked out.

The afterglow of the setting sun hit her, it was hot and dazzling, she hurriedly hid under the umbrella shed, and saw the lime water on the table, as if no one had touched it yet, and grabbed it directly to drink to quench her thirst.

Suddenly, Lin Shinian turned around unintentionally and saw her appear.

"Sir!" the Filipino maid ran out in a panic, her Mandarin was quite slippery, "Miss Fang is missing"

I was stunned halfway through the report, because I saw Fang Songqi and knew that a big living person was there.

Lin Shinian waved his hand.

The Filipino maid retreated.

Lin Shinian put down the club and came under the umbrella.

Fang Songqi leaned on the recliner in a very unruly shape. It is said that this posture is not only indecent, but also ugly, but it does not stand her good figure, but it seems that her legs are longer and her waist is thinner, and her undulating curves are more beautiful.

"Where is this?" she asked, her eyes firing curiously in all directions.

"Still in Macau. ”

If she answers, she can't tell that she is still in Macau! Fang Songqi rolled his eyes. Middle-aged and elderly people not only have poor ears, but also have poor understanding!

Lin Shinian picked up the cup and wanted to drink water, but the lime water that should have been full was not a drop left, only ice cubes.

Fang Songqi's hand reached into the cup, picked up two ice cubes and put them into her own mouth, chewing like a chewy click.

Sensing that he was looking at her, she turned her face sideways and smiled: "If you want to eat it too, there is still it in the cup." ”

Lin Shinian's gaze continued to scan her countenance, and he concluded: "Come back to life quickly." ”

"Have I ever died?" Fang Songqi cross-examined, turned over to support his head and stared at him, the short nightdress was lifted in the flip, and the gauze that was faintly bandaged on her thighs was revealed, and after it fell again, her two legs were also overlapped.

The sporadic red spots on her skin did not fade away, because the inflammation of the wound on her leg indirectly caused the seafood she ate on the boat to become poisonous, and she was covered in it last night.

Of course, the focus is still on the knife cut.

Lin Shinian put down the cup: "Don't you know that your own physique is prone to scars?"

"Yes. Fang Songqi nodded, with a smile on his lips, "You know now, right? You'll have to be more precious to me in the future, don't let me stumble and fall, I'm vulnerable."

Lin Shinian smiled.

"That's laughing, your laughter is really low" Fang Songqi sneered, his eyes rolled, and an idea floated in his heart, "I'll tell you a really meaningful joke"

Even if she told a joke, she had to be a good person, immediately sat up cross-legged, bent down and took the club in her hand, waved it in a gesture, and then deliberately raised her voice sweetly and said: "What is said is that men like golf, the reason is that the scenery of each hole is different, even if it is the same hole, there are different ways to enter Women like golf, because the feeling of each shot is different, even if it is the same stroke, the strength is different." ”

Lin Shinian was stunned and did not speak.

But Fang Songqi knew that he must have understood the internal letter, and his smile became more and more open, blinking his eyes, and he was curious: "I don't know how many holes you have entered so far?"

didn't wait for Lin Shinian's reaction, but another person's laughter came out: "Lin Zi, where did you pick up this living treasure?"

The voice is familiar.

Fang Songqi was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look.

Brother Hua strode over.

It turns out that Brother Hua knows Mandarin? Fang Songqi subconsciously hugged his big swagger in a nightdress, and also tightened his shawl to cover the loose neckline, after all, there was a vacuum in the nightdress, and he didn't wear anything.

When I rolled my eyes, I found that Lin Shinian had a suspicious mocking expression on her face, obviously seeing her two small actions.

Fang Songqi was neither embarrassed nor embarrassed, raised his chin slightly to meet him, snorted silently, and then got up to greet: "Brother Hua." ”

"Hmm. Brother Hua looked at her twice, "It looks like it's okay?"

"It's okay. Fang Songqi shook his head, "Thank you Brother Hua for your concern"

"I didn't have anything to give, so I just brought some bird's nest. It's an apology. ”

"Brother Hua, you are too polite. Fang Songqi smiled, and smiled in his heart, but he sneered. Who wants a bullshit apology? After apologizing, she won't hold grudges?

Lin Shinian really stepped on a horse and made such a loss with her in bed, and actually took her words and returned the apology for her: "She is a demon herself, and no one needs to apologize to her." ”

Who is the demon? Fang Songqi crossed the eye knife. She only recognizes demons!

Lin Shinian didn't look at her at all anymore, and Brother Hua was going to go off the court to play.

Fang Songqi hurriedly grabbed the hem of his clothes: "Wait!"

Lin Shinian paused for a moment: "The joke hasn't been told yet?"

! Who's telling him a joke?

"You see there's nothing I do here, so I won't waste your rations. Let Wei Bibang and I buy a new ticket to return to Liucheng tonight or tomorrow morning, I can also take the information you give seriously, and prepare for the entry" This is the purpose of so much foreshadowing in front of her, and a Hua brother suddenly interrupted her words halfway, this can't be made up?

Brother Hua interjected again: "Your title is your love and interest with Lin Zi? Why don't you call it an adult? He is seven or eight years older than you, right?"

"Is it Linzi?" he turned his head and asked Lin Shinian to confirm, "I'm not mistaken, you haven't had your thirty-fifth birthday yet?"

"Thirty-five?" Fang Songqi was stunned, his eyes widened, and he stared at Lin Shinian incredulously, "Liar, right? He looks like forty-five!"

Lin Shinian: ""

Brother Hua: ""

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

Well, Fang Songqi admits that she did deliberately exaggerate.

But, to be honest, he has always been in her eyes, how can he have "thirty-seven or eight, no matter how low it is, I don't believe it." ”

Brother Hua couldn't help but smile and patted Lin Shinian's shoulder: "Didn't I remind you a long time ago? Don't rely on being young, just try your best not to pay attention to maintenance, otherwise it will be easy to look old." ”

Fang Songqi smiled, and hurriedly picked up again: "No, I just talked nonsense, Boss Lin doesn't look old, Boss Lin obviously looks like eighteen years old!

The more flattering, the more sarcastic.

Lin Shinian's face was not angry, he picked up the club and stared at her: "You don't need to book a ticket." ”

After saying that, he and Brother Hua went to the lawn, leaving a hundred points of deterrence and being alone with her.

Fang Songqi is crazy!

He can use anything to blackmail him now!

He didn't order it, she didn't save the money at most, and ordered it herself.

But when she returned to her room, she found that she couldn't find her phone.

Not only mobile phones, but also handbags and duffel bags are missing. Her papers are all in there.

At this time, the Filipino maid came in with warm water and medicine to remind her that it was time to take it.

Where can Fang Songqi eat: "Where is Lin Shinian's bedroom or study?"

The Filipino maid was confused: "Lin Shinian?"

"It's your boss, or sir. Fang Songqi leaned into the corridor and felt a headache as he counted the number of rooms.

Is there a sickness? Living alone in such a big house, with so many extra rooms, leaving ghosts to sleep at night?

It's okay if I don't want to, thinking about it, Fang Songqi felt a chill down his spine.

As soon as she turned around, she looked for the reason for the chill on her back Wei Bi.

"Miss Fang, take the medicine, your fever has just come down, and the toxins of the seafood have not been cleared, and the red pimples may recur. ”

Lin Shinian wanted to blackmail her, and she wanted to blackmail Wei Bi: "You return all my luggage to me, and I will eat again." ”

"Mr. said that you don't need luggage for the time being, and you will recuperate quietly for two days. ”

Raising for two days? Fang Songqi's mind was full of pictures of fattening pigs and then slaughtering them.

"Don't you want to take the information seriously? Mr. said, you can make good use of these two days, and I can supervise you. Wei Bi said again.

Superintendent: What year? Do you really think you want to give homework to elementary school students?

"This little problem is nothing to raise, and when I return to Liucheng, my attention is more concentrated, and I can study the information more thoroughly and better. ”

"Mr. Said"

"Mr. said!Mr. said!Mr. said let you eat, why don't you eat it?!"

Wei Bi was very calm: "Mr. didn't say let me eat." ”

Fang Songqi was speechless.

However, Wei Bi's next sentence was even more disgusting than eating shit: "Miss Fang, live here with peace of mind, don't worry about your brother." ”

The final word, she was defeated.

Fang Songqi didn't say a word, took the medicine held by the Filipino maid, didn't even use water, swallowed it directly, and then went back to the bedroom, slamming the door with a bang.

After all, all she could do was slam the door.

In the next two days, Fang Songqi fulfilled his wish and was quiet to the end, and without even going out of the bedroom door, he collapsed to death in bed, only getting up when taking medicine, eating, and going to the toilet.

The only person she could see was the Filipino maid.

Thanks to this Filipino maid, she sleeps on the sofa in her room at night and accompanies her, otherwise she is really afraid of ghosts when she lives alone.

In addition, I have to mention that the Filipino maid's craftsmanship is very good, and she can make one or two dishes of specialties from several countries, and Fang Songqi's fun has become a menu for the Filipino maid every day.

However, when she was recuperating from her injuries, she avoided many Filipino maids, so she agreed in front of her, but when it was served, she was replaced by something else.

What Fang Songqi didn't understand? Behind the Filipino maid was Lin Shinian's instructions.

If it weren't for the good taste, she would have taken advantage of the dark night and high wind to chop up the Filipino maid and then escaped back to Liucheng.

The inflammation of the wound is actually not serious, mainly because of her physique, the scab will continue to be red and itchy after the scab is scabbed, so that the scar will continue to "grow", and it will take a few days to grow and how long the growth will stop, which is uncertain.

For example, the one on her chest back then, in just one month, grew from the length of half of her little finger to the length of her index finger.

Fang Songqi is already lucky, not the most typical scar physique, otherwise she has grown up, and the wrestling and bruises alone are enough for her to have good skin on her body, up and down. However, wrestling bruises and other things, she is indeed more likely to have scars on her skin than normal people, and the scars last for a longer time, and they fade away after a certain number of years.

Lin Shinian kept her word, saying that she would be locked up for two days, and she was really only locked up for two days, and she probably knew that two days was her biggest limit.

On the third day, he took time out of his busy schedule to show up.

Hearing from Wei Bi that he was in the study, Fang Songqi trotted in the direction of the Filipino maid and searched for it.

Lin Shinian sat at the table, and the hem of her nightdress appeared in his afterglow.

The smooth satin fabric exposed a large section of white, flowery legs, and a small section of his toes showed on the slippers, and he kicked his calves when he lifted them: "Hey, can you let me go back to Liucheng now?"

Lin Shinian focused on the computer and did not respond to her.

Fang Songqi was short, slipped under his arm into his arms, sat on his lap, and stood between him and the computer, so that he had to face her.

Her hand touched his chest, and she smiled like a flower: "I'll accompany you here to a study, and after you have fun, let me go back." How's it going?

She was very suspicious that one of the reasons why she was locked up in this confinement must include guessing his age in front of Brother Hua two days ago, and he was careful to hold a grudge. Then she won't call him dad in the future, call her brother! If he likes to be called more tender, let him order it!

But Lin Shinian asked, "Do you know how to draw?"

Fang Songqi's eyelids jumped.

Seeing that his eyes were calm and didn't seem to have any other deep meaning, she also treated it calmly, and dragged the tail of her eyes: "Fur." If Boss Lin needs it, I can immediately train my tasting ability and master this martial art."

If she flatters, she is talking more and more flying, and the cowhide is not afraid of blowing.

Lin Shinian had an insightful face.

Fang Songqi casually understands it, and it doesn't matter if he listens to it well or not.

"Wei Bibang, you have rebooked your ticket for tomorrow. "Lin Shinian's topic jumped sharply.

Fang Songqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the smile and kiss were still given to him as a thank you gift as usual.

Lin Shinian pressed her forehead with one hand, blocking her warm fragrant nephrite, and a piece of sticky note paper was pasted on her face like a talisman.

"What the hell?" Fang Songqi was not happy to be treated like a zombie, and reached out to tear it off.

Above it is a person's name, phone number, and department.

Lin Shinian: "After returning to Liucheng, find this doctor to take over the scar on your leg, and follow the doctor's instructions to pass it regularly." Wei Bi will call the doctor to ask how your visit is. ”

Fang Songqi: ""

Hold on, hold on, hold on

After three seconds of silent recitation, she smiled and nodded: "Okay, I promise to report regularly." ”

Lin Shinian seemed to be very satisfied with her pet's performance, and touched her head: "Since you have stayed for three more days, then accompany me to the painting auction tonight to relieve my boredom." ”

Fang Songqi frowned: "There is no other choice?"

"Yes. ”

Fang Songqi's eyes lit up: "What?"

"Keep staying here. ”

Fang Songqi: ""

"What choice?" Lin Shinian raised his eyebrows at her.

Fang Songqi smiled and spread his hands to him: "Where is the costume jewelry?"

At least I can get out and take some breath, and it doesn't matter what I'm going to do.

"Do you want me to go like this?" she said, looking down at her and her pajamas.

Lin Shinian looked up and down thoughtfully: "It's good." ”

Fang Songqi took a deep breath and wanted to hold it back, "Good your sister!"

Of course, in the end, Fang Songqi still got his wish and changed into a beautiful little dress.

At the sign-in area of the venue, the doorman distributes electronic auction cards to each guest who enters.

This "every person" does not include Lin Shinian.

Fang Songqi also followed Lin Shinian to walk through the P passage, and entered the P exclusive seat on the second floor, a semi-closed room, and the guests downstairs could not easily see clearly.

The interesting thing about the auction is that you compete for the price that I grab, and she reluctantly comes, and she doesn't sit down with everyone, not only has no one to talk to, but also can't feel the atmosphere, so it's better to go back.

This society is really, everywhere you go, you have to divide people's status into three, six, nine and so on.

He may not want to sit at the same table with all the people, but Fang Songqi doesn't care, and tries to propose that he wants to go downstairs to play.

Lin Shinian directly ignored her request: "Wait and play your fur and see if any paintings are worth buying." ”

Fang Songqi pestled his chin, didn't bother to say anything, and made a gesture of "" in response.

Tonight's auction items are pre-public, she opened the catalog and browsed at will, not so much national treasure-level paintings, but they are all painters who have been hyped up in recent years, and their taste is worthy of Lin Shinian's identity, although she still doesn't know how expensive Lin Shinian is, but rich people like to play with these so-called artworks.

was originally interested, but suddenly, seeing the muse in his dream, Fang Songqi couldn't help but be stunned.

Well, there is no doubt about it, "" is Fang Jie, but "" has never shown her face in public, and most of them don't know her true identity.

An artist's fame depends not only on talent, but also on luck. Fang Jie is one of the lucky people, who became famous earlier, just five years after her divorce from Lao Xu, she gradually fermented, not a big hit, but won several awards with high gold content.

Her paintings before her death were "blue chips" in the art market, and the period when Lu Chunyan sold them three years ago was not good, a painting was about hundreds of thousands, and the price of her paintings in the market has increased by five or six times in the past three years. So Lu Chunyan was annoyed.

This dream muse is not the famous work of "", but it is the most popular of the paintings before she became famous.

Fang Songqi frowned.

Mainly, if she remembers correctly, the painting should

With her thoughts, she quietly glanced at Lin Shinian.

She didn't know if tonight was just a coincidence, or if Lin Shinian even knew her relationship with "" well.

Yes, it shouldn't be, Weng Jianxiang and Lu Chunyan didn't know that her mother Fang Jie was "", they only thought that "" was a friend Fang Jie met abroad. "The time of death is earlier than Fang Jie

The auction downstairs is going well, and soon to this dream muse.

Obviously, there were several people in the room who came specifically for this work.

There is no need to distinguish it from close range, just through the display screen in the room on the second floor, Fang Songqi found that it was imitation.

The bidding price downstairs reached 1.1 million, and it seemed that no one wanted to continue bidding.

In view of the fact that Fang Cai Lin said that he wanted her to play her fur, Fang Songqi rushed to encourage him before the final word: "I think this painting is good, the appreciation space is larger than other paintings, you can try it." This small one or two million is not a problem for you at all, and buying it back and hanging it in the toilet will also enhance your style."

Lin Shinian smiled: "Okay, I'll think about it." ”

At this juncture, he is just talking about consideration rather than directly bidding, and his implication is self-evident.

Hey, he didn't succeed, Fang Songqi felt that the only fun was lost again.

The auctioneer downstairs is making a final inquiry.

Just when everyone thought it was trading for 1.1 million, someone suddenly shouted two million directly.

the groove. Fang Songqi suddenly became interested again, and followed the window to find out who was wronged.

I only saw a strange middle-aged man I didn't know from a distance.

As a result, another wronged boss actually shouted out three million.

Yes, it's none other than Lin Shinian who signaled Wei Bi to show the auction card.

Fang Songqi was so happy that he hurriedly handed him a grape, his eyes lit up with a look of adoration: "Your shot is different."

Lin Shinian took her grapes, and also looked at it, with a smile in his eyes, as if he was flattered by her.

Another 500,000 were added downstairs. It's still the middle-aged man.

Lin Shinian lived up to her expectations, continued to be wronged, and added another 500,000.

At this point, the dream muse soared to four million, which was too much higher than the market's estimate.

The other guests were all watching the excitement.

Fang Songqi stood by the window, squinted at the middle-aged man's position, saw that he was on the phone, estimated that the real buyer was behind him, and was now reporting the situation and asking for advice.

After a short time, the middle-aged man finished the phone call, held up the auction card, and directly handed over the price of six million in one breath.

The audience was in an uproar.

Fang Songqi believes that tomorrow, even at this time, the news will spread from the auction venue, which will also cause all kinds of conjectures in the circle of artworks.

It is very likely that the price will rise again.

Fang Songqi turned his head to look at Lin Shinian, as curious as everyone else in the venue about his next move.

Lin Shinian finished the tea without hurrying, and then slowly gestured to Wei Bi.

Wei Bi said to the auctioneer that he would no longer bid.

"What's the matter?

Fang Songqi completely figured out that Lin Shinian didn't plan to buy it at all, but expected that the other party was bound to get it, so he deliberately raised the price.

Rather than relieving her boredom, she was more curious: "Who is it? You personally slaughtered each other's competitors in the business field?"

"I don't know. Lin Shinian's eyes are deep and shallow, "I just think it's interesting." ”

What about the deceitful ghost? Fang Songqi rolled his eyes. I just don't want to say it.

Boom, she's not interested in knowing anyway.

"It's almost time, let's go. Lin Shinian got up.

Fang Songqi, who was exactly what she wanted, was suddenly happy again, and was busy keeping up, and after going downstairs, he couldn't help but take one last look at the venue.

Who the hell is it

Lin Shinian's "let's go" was different from the "let's go" that Fang Songqi thought, after sending her back to the residence, Lin Shinian didn't even get out of the car, so he and Wei Bi went directly to the airport.

was so busy that he didn't even have time to say a parting shot with her, Fang Songqi was happy, and finally had a good night's sleep and woke up naturally.

In the afternoon, she was taken to the airport by a specially arranged car.

This time, Fang Songqi did not have any more accidents, and flew back to Liucheng very smoothly.

When I took a taxi from the airport back to the apartment, the sun had been setting for a long time and night was falling.

After feeling the temperature of Macau for a few days, the night in Liucheng rarely made Fang Songqi feel a little cool, and with the coolness, the air was also a lot fresher.

But the enjoyment was only short-lived, and when she took a few more steps with her luggage, she was too hot to do so, and hurriedly quickened her pace.

When she reached the floor, she opened the door and entered, greeted by a mixture of men and women's clothes that had fallen from the hallway.
