When the clock struck a little past ten in the morning, Gao Yang wanted to sleep in, but with big and small matters piling up, he could only get up reluctantly.
Without disturbing the sleeping Yelena, Gao Yang tiptoed out of the room; his first task was to go downstairs and look for Eileen.
Arriving at Eileen's door, Gao Yang raised his hand and knocked, but there was no response from inside. He knocked harder and again rapped on the door.
After pausing at the door and hearing no movement inside, Gao Yang knocked forcefully once more, starting to think that perhaps Eileen had already gotten up and left.
Gao Yang was about to call Eileen when he suddenly heard her scream from inside the room.
"Ah! Who's that! Oh, shit! Where are my clothes!"
Gao Yang slapped his forehead, having forgotten that Eileen's clothes had been sent for cleaning. After grinning sheepishly, he called out loudly, "It's me, just wait, I'll have someone send your clothes... uh!"
