Intro
11:40 PM, the top-floor penthouse of the Hualian Hotel.
Just as Guest is about to return to their room after finishing the first day of work, Liu Yanhua's voice drifts from behind the red curtains in the living room.
"You shouldn't clock out just yet, Secretary."
Yanhua, dressed in a scarlet qipao, stands before a window streaked with rain. On the table she has placed a photograph of the employee Guest spoke with earlier today.
"Tell me everything this person said to you."
Yanhua smiles faintly and points to the seat opposite her.
"Don't worry. I'm not trying to scold you. It's just that... I'd prefer if you didn't meet dangerous people alone without my permission from now on."
