As soon as Ang had the chance toin, she leapt for it. "Let me backtrack to that day in your office, if you would stop what you''re doing for one moment. Thank you. Now, I told you what was up, but you ignored me. You remember that? Thought so. I have nothing to say sorry for."


    Arvin screwed up his face in utter dismay. That day? Maybe Ang was right; for a moment he had no words to give his confusion shape. He just kept cleaning her hair for her. ''I used to sleep with you every day and it was blissful. Now nothing is the same as it once was. No, everything is different, and I don''t know where to go from here. Silly Ang, '' Arvin thought, thinking that he hadn''t seen some action for a while.


    If Arvin even had an inkling that it was Ang who he had slept with, he wouldn''t act so rough with her as he was now, every day and night.


    When Ang''s hair had been almost totally dried, Arvin took out a box of ointment from the table and started to apply some on Ang''s bruises.


    Some timeter, Arvin walked out pping his hands together having washed his hands. He told Ang in a soft spoken voice, who, by the by, was stiffly covering her face out of shame with the towel, fearful what she was now expected to do, "Let''s go and eat something? What do you say to that?"


    Ang almost cried with shame. She shook her head and refused, "I don''t want to eat anything. I just want to go to sleep. I''ve been tortured for days, and I''m exhausted. Please, just let me die."


    She was so tired that she barely knew her own name, what day it was, or what room led to which. She couldn''t even exin how she made it into the bathroom. ''This is all Arvin''s fault, '' she kept repeating. It was the only thing she truly did know with any certainty.


    But Arvin wouldn''t take no for an answer. Bit of a dyed reaction. He held Ang close, and walked with her towards the dining room. Ang trembled as the temperature changed between rooms. What new tortures awaited her here? When she was seated, he simply fed her dinner.


    "Good, " he said menacingly. It wasn''t the only meat he would make her eat. After dinner, Arvin bolted the doors and took a shower. When Arvin came out, Ang was so sleepy. However, as Arvin sat down beside her, Ang immediately opened her eyes and called to him, "Arvin?"


    "Yeah?" Arvin replied tentatively. Just now he thought Ang was asleep.


    When she heard him, Ang leaned close to hold his waist and said, "Let''s y a game, shall we?"


    ''y a game... That sounds like something the old Ang would do. I see I have yet to crush her spirit.'' Arvin didn''t say a word.


    "Well, if you don''t want to y, do not sleep with me tonight. To y, or not y, that is up to you." Seeing that Arvin had no response, Ang pretended to be unhappy and threatened him.


    Bad mistake. Arvin turned over and Ang was pinned under him. Arvin seemed a little angry. The next moment, Ang heard Arvin saying, "Are you threatening me?"


    Anybody else would have been frightened by Arvin''s deplorable actions. But Ang was not afraid. On the contrary, she pushed him off of her and turned her back to him.


    ...


    After he sighed heavily, he rolled over to hold Ang in his arms. Then he kissed Ang''s long hair and had topromise to her will, "So what are the rules?"


    Ang got her way. She approached Arvin a little happily and announced the rules. "Well, it''s q


    Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.


    "You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.


    "You! Give thatnd to my family, or I won''t agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.


    "Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.


    ocker room since Ang came to work sote.


    As for the several people here, they weren''t listening to them, so Nancy felt relieved she hadn''t gone any further.


    Nancy realized she almost said what she said, and then sheforted Ang. "Sorry, Ang. I was so surprised to hear this news.


    Things between you and Arvin happen so fast." Earlier they had some misunderstanding, now it seemed that they figured it out.


    Ang and Arvin''s rtionship seemed very smooth now that they had slept together; the same couldn''t be said for the state of Stanley and Nancy''s rtionship, however...


    They haven''t slept together consensually yet, which disturbed Nancy more than it disturbed Ang. ''Am I being too conservative?'' Nancy wondered. ''Ang seems to have no trouble getting it.''


    After changing her clothes, Ang walked into the R and D department. She touched her dark eye circles and felt a little worried. ''If the other colleague see this, what am I going to say?''


    Immediately she came up with an idea. She snuck into Professor Cheng''s R and D room.


    She didn''te out of the room all day. To achieve this feat of hide and go seek mastery, Ang even forewent her meal for the day. Instead she grabbed something to eat from a room in the R and D department.


    Before the bell rang to signal the end of the work day, Ang had just finished making a new chemical fluid. She applied it to the back of her ear just to try this potentially life threatening chemical out. Luckily, after only mild scalding, there was no unusual after effects. So then she applied it directly to her eyes.


    When she walked out of the R and D room, she bumped into Nancy, who seemed to be waiting for her for a while. Nancy looked so worried, "Ang... are you sure that your face is ok like that? I''m afraid..."


    "Well, I''ve tested it on my ear. Don''t worry, Nancy." Ang stopped Nancy and eased her heart of its tangled anxieties. After applying the fluid, Ang gently massaged her eye sockets to promote absorption. She closed her eyes for a few seconds to enjoy and bask in the moment of scalding pleasure. She got off on pain.


    When it was time to get off work, Ang said goodbye to Nancy and headed for the locker room.


    Suddenly, Nancy screamed out, "Ang!"
