Woman of Intelligence (Book 2 in the series)

Chapter 14

Riya and Liang were in the car. Liang was driving back home. They were halfway through their journey and they were very quiet during that period. Liang was thinking about the kiss out of the blue. He kissed other women before but for some reason this kiss felt different. He looked at Riya for a moment. She was looking at the beautiful lights from the tall buildings. Liang was now concentrating on the road. Riya saw so many people at the food court area. She could see some event that was happening in one restaurant. She did not that the atmosphere was very quiet in the car. 

"Wang, tell me how was the kiss?", she asked.

"I thought you wouldn't bring that up. But I found the kiss very beautiful.", he was being honest. 

"Really?"

"Yeah. I didn't expect our families and friends will be so chilled with us kissing."

"Well, I have a feeling that they planned it. Because they think Samantha and I won't come back before Christmas.", that was her theory.

"I also have that feeling too. It's going to be very lonely when leave.", he was a bit sad.

"Don't worry, I will talk to you when I have the time. Even though the times are different but I will talk to you."

Liang was happy to hear that. Liang stopped in front of their house gate. The gate opened automatically after Riya placed the desk on to the small screen. Liang entered the premises. The gate closed behind the car while the first garage door opened automatically in front of the car. The car entered the garage and Liang parked the car in the middle of the room. Riya came out of the car as soon as Liang switch the engine off. Liang came out of the car and walked with Riya to the house. She had a big yellow pastel box of few pieces of birthday cake and cupcakes. There was enough cake and cupcakes for Bobby and Liang's men. They stopped in front of the door. Riya took out the disk and scanned on the small blue screen. The door opened slightly then Riya opened the door wider. Riya and Liang entered the mansion together. Riya opened her high heels. Her ankles were hurting from wearing her shoes for long hours. 

Liang looked at her. "Riya, can I sleep with you until you leave to Los Angeles?", he asked politely.

Riya looked at him with an indifferent expression. "You mean...", she did not know how to explain this.

"Just sleep together, nothing else. Probably have small conversations then sleep."

"Sure. We can get dress into our night clothes and hit the sack. I'm really exhausted because I ended up in hospital earlier. Then I have to trigger my health to speak up and I did a lot of baking today."

"Yeah. I think you started baking as soon as you entered my parents' house.", he was guessing.

"Yeah."

"I will take this from you.", he was taking the big box from her. "You can change into your night clothes. You absolutely know what I wear in the evenings.", he showed her smirk. 

"Yes.", she had to see that every night. 

Liang was walking towards the main kitchen. Riya started walking towards the wooden stairs. She entered the second floor where she could see the outdoor bar, sitting room and a big swimming pool. She loved this room because she loved the theme which was darkness. Everything was in black, the sofas, coffee table, carpets, the fire area and the walls. Riya went to the other black painted wooden steps to the third room.  

Riya was about to come out from her closet room with her night clothes on when she heard some humming. She stopped by the door. She was observing the sound and tone. A man was humming in a very low tone but in a good way. It was soothing to listen. She slowly popped her head out of the door to see who it was. Liang was sorting out her bed. He was the humming a song which Riya did not hear before. It could be one of his songs. Riya came out from the closet and leaned on the wall with her arms crossed. His humming was very good.
