Inside the humble one story home, Liu Anna could hear the chime of the bell from the kitchen as she worked on the lunch basket to take with her to the senior center down the road.
"Who could that be so early this morning?!"
Turning the faucet which released warm water, the forty something year old woman rinsed off the residue from her hands. Wiping them off with the dishcloth by the sink.
"Is it the next door neighbor?! I wonder who could be at the door?"
Walking neither too fast nor too slow, Liu Anna in a baggy sweat s.h.i.+rt and skirt made her way to the other side of the house to see who was visiting her home. On getting there, she saw a man and woman through the home monitoring device installed on the wall of the living room.
"Good morning, is there anything I can do for you?"
Sounding pleasant, but at the same time not wanting to give an impression that they were welcome, she had a look of curosity in her eyes while looking at them.
"Good morning, are you Mrs. Liu?"
No sooner had Hu Tsao spoken, Liu Anna"s eyes took on a guarded look, eyeing the man suspiciously.
"Move away!"
Duan Yili shoved her driver to the side to speak directly to the woman on the other end of the door. Her patience already worn thin from the drive she had to make.
"I"m Duan Yili, your daughter Liu Rachael is currenly seeing my son! We can either have this conversation outside where the neighbors will hear or let us in! Take your pick!"
