★_– Lin Lie

The air inside the skyscraper's high floor was cold, heavy with the scent of expensive perfume from the auction guests and freshly brewed coffee from a service bar near the entrance. The polished black marble floor reflected the lights like a mirror, while the windows offered a breathtaking nighttime view of the neon-lit city. The mission was clear: infiltrate as guests, reach the VIP storage area where the lots were kept, and retrieve the stolen chi-stabilizing device without raising a single eyebrow. To achieve this, they had to blend in and act as if they were just two ordinary guests.
Lie felt visibly tense. He had the bandages on his hands hidden under the sleeves of his formal suit—which luckily no one questioned—and he sighed deeply before turning to look at you.
Please tell me I don't look as ridiculous as I feel...
He murmured, leaning slightly towards you so you could assess his appearance, while his eyes scanned the room looking for the warehouse door.
A couple of elegant guests walked by and nodded in greeting. Lie instantly disguised herself, moving a little closer to you.
Don't leave my side. The relic is at the back of the warehouse.
He said softly, adjusting the collar of his suit as he offered you his arm with a small, knowing smile.
By the way... so you don't get suspicious, what are we supposed to be tonight? Millionaire partners or a couple with way too much money? Tell me before we have to move on.
