"Mrs…errr…Sabrina, you really have to be more careful," he said as he placed her firmly on a standing position. He then turned around and pretended to straighten his yoga mat. It was obvious that he was hiding his arousal.

She smiled secretly. Looks like it will be easier than she thought. She only needed to get pass his moral code. It is so adorable that he doesn't dare do anything with her just because he thought she was married with kids. Maybe she can do something to change his mind about that. Maybe tell him that she is on the verge of divorce. Or that they are separated…which is the truth. They've been separated since marriage, in fact.

When Kavan turned around, his expression was serious.

"If you are serious about learning yoga, I do hope that you focus," he said. "But if you continue to think of this as a game, I will have to cancel these private sessions," he added.

Ooo…so he is putting his foot down, she thought. Fine, she can be serious too.

"Oh, but I am serious. What makes you think I am treating it as a game?" she asked, widening her eyes innocently. "How can you accuse me this way? I really wanted to be good in yoga, it really loosen up my limbs and allow me to do so many poses," she said, pouting slightly.

"Look, you are the one who looks like you don't want to teach me…it's like I forced you to do this," she added sadly and forced tears to fill her eyes. Time to turn on the waterworks. Human males usually fall for that. Easily.

She sat down on her mat and wiped the tears from her eyes pathetically.

"Look. I know I am clumsy and stupid. I can't help it if my coordination is lousy and I am so bad at balancing, I tend to fall over all the time, it's so cruel of you to accuse me of playing games," she sniffed and wiped her nose.

He handed her a box of tissues and sat down next to her.

"Look…maybe I sounded harsh earlier. I apologise," he said. He sounded genuinely apologetic. She stole a sideway glance at him. She sniffed loudly and took a tissue to wipe her fake tears. It is so easy to force tears into her eyes, she's practically a pro.

"It's just that…I've been separated from my husband for a couple years and I have no where to go…" she said sadly.

"I am so lonely….and he is living with his mistress now and the children are with them too…so I am left all alone," she added, sniffing delicately. She forced a few more tears to slide down her cheeks.

"I took up yoga to distract my mind from my loneliness, you know? I didn't know I could be so bad at it," she said. "I am so stupid and useless…my husband didn't want me, my children prefer their soon-to-be stepmother to me and I can't even master something simple like yoga," she said, crying.

He looked uncomfortable but he didn't try to avoid her or run away. Most men would have find an excuse to disappear. Instead, he placed a tentative hand on her shoulder and patted her awkwardly.

"You are not stupid. It just takes time and patience to learn, I am sorry for thinking you were not serious about it," he said.

She leaned on his shoulder and cried even more. "Please lend me your shoulder, I am feeling so depressed today," she said in between sobs.

He put his arms around her and pulled her close to him to comfort her.

"There, there…let it all out, it will be good to just release the tension," he said reassuringly while stroking her shoulder gently. She secretly did a jump and twirl at his arms around her. It's a small victory but she has him now.

She sniffed and wiped her eyes and nose.

"I don't even have a place to stay…my husband and his mistress kicked me out and I had to beg them to allow me to stay for a while more and they only let me stay in their storeroom," she added for good measure. This pity story must work. She silently apologise to Dashen for her lies. He owed her anyway for all the years of pretending to be his wife and then being a nanny to his children. Those years of baby puke, pee and poop she had to clean. They weren't even her kids.

She felt Kavan's arm tightened around her shoulder. He squeezed her reassuringly.

"Look, I have a spare room at my place…but it is not a large place…" he offered.

"Yes! Yes I will!" she immediately jumped on it. Of course she will move in with him. All the better to seduce him. Realising she sounded a tad too happy about it, she quickly rearrange her expression to still look sad but grateful.

"Thank you, Kavan. It really mean a lot to me…but I don't have any money to pay you rent…" she said. She has to pretend to be poor too, otherwise he might wonder why she didn't just find a place to rent.

"Oh, it's okay. You don't have to pay rent. I don't use the room anyway, it's a guest room and I don't have guests over all the time," he said.

She snuggled close to him and gave him a hug.

"Thank you Kavan! You are so nice and kind," she said, gratefully. In her mind, she is already planning ways of 'accidentally' going into his room and 'accidentally' sleeping in his bed.

"I am looking for a job…when I find one, I will start paying you rent, I promise," she said. Not that she actually will look for a job. She doesn't need to work but Kavan doesn't need to know that.

"Don't worry about it, Sabrina," he said, patting her shoulder and holding her. "What kind of jobs are you looking for? Maybe I can help," he said.

Darn it. How will she get out of this? She doesn't want to work. Ugh.

"Oh how about this? Maybe I help you at this studio…you know, keeping the mats, sanitising it and all that?" she said. "You don't have to pay me of course, since you are already letting me stay at your place,"

"Wait…if you can't afford to rent a place, how were you planning to pay for the private yoga sessions?" he asked suddenly. He now looked suspicious.

She cursed inwardly. She forgot about that.

"I was planning to use my husband's credit card which I stole while he was not looking…you know, sort of my revenge…though it is quite lame but I have to be prepared for when he finds out, he will surely cancel it," she said hastily. Thank the dragons for her quick wit and lying skills to save the day.

He nodded in understanding.

"Since you have his card…why don't we go paint the town red with it? I'll help you and it will definitely cheer you up," he suggested, grinning cheekily.

She is liking this version of Kavan very much. She smiled up at him, making sure to still look slightly sad.

"I would like that very much…does this mean, I can start staying over at your place tonight?" she asked hopefully.

"Don't you need to pack?" he asked, surprised.

She almost replied that she can always get new stuffs…but she can't when she's supposed to be poor. Darn. Being fake poor is no fun.

"Oh right. I will go back and pack tomorrow, I don't have much stuffs anyway…let's just have a full day out at my husband's expense today!" she said.
