My Love, Enlighten me (Official translation)

The housekeeping manager listened to Gloria Taylor’s words and asked, “We have several Asian chefs here. I don’t know which one you specifically mean.”  

                 She raised her eyebrows, “His surname is Moore.”  

                 The manager thought for a moment and said, “I’m sorry. Mr. Moore is on vacation.”  

                 “Vacation?”  

                 The manager heard the inquiry in her tone and said, “He is the most popular Asian chef here. I’m very impressed. So, I know that he’s on vacation.”  

                 “When will he come back to work?”  

                 “I’m not very clear about this. After all, he doesn’t belong to the housekeeping department.”  

                 Before she came here, she was mentally prepared. So, she wasn’t surprise to hear that Ding Moore was on vacation.  

                 Ding Moore could take James Moore out of the country. He was definitely not an ordinary person. She knew that she wouldn’t find him so easily.  

                 She needed a careful deliberation to decide meeting him.  

                 ***  

                 Gloria Taylor stayed in the hotel for several days in a row, but Ding Moore didn’t return to work in the hotel.  

                 Recently, she didn’t contact Kenny Clarke that much.  

                 She felt that she couldn’t sit still and do nothing. She had to do something.  

                 She felt that Ding Moore might have known that she came to M country and stayed in this hotel where he worked.  

                 If that’s the case, she felt that it was necessary for her to change places.  

                 Early in the morning, Gloria Taylor was ready to check out.  

                 She just got out of the elevator. Before she could clearly see the people outside, she heard someone said, “Moore, Miss Taylor wants you to cook for her.”  

                 She looked up and saw the housekeeping manager. Next to him stood a man who almost looked exactly like James Moore.  

                 When she was looking at him, he was also looking at her.  

                 She squinted and asked, “Are you Ding Moore?”  

                 Ding Moore smiled. His face looked a lot like James Moore.  

                 “Hello, Miss Taylor. We meet again.”  

                 Even his voice sounded like James Moore’s. If she didn’t listen carefully, she wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between their voices.  

                 James Moore sounded relatively relaxed, while Ding Moore’s voice was rather heavy, just like… Kenny Clarke’s, sometimes.  

                 Gloria Taylor smiled, “It seems that you’re looking forward to seeing me again.”  

                 “That’s true.” Ding Moore replied, “Would you fancy a cup of coffee with me?”  

                 “Of course.” her purpose of meeting Ding Moore was to find James Moore’s whereabouts. Since Ding Moore invited her for a cup of coffee, how could she refuse？  

                 The manager didn’t understand Gloria Taylor and Ding Moore’s conversation because they were speaking in Chinese. He looked at Ding Moore with a blank face, “Moore, you—”  

                 Ding Moore turned his head to the manager, “If you’ll excuse me.”  

                 Gloria Taylor was carrying her suitcase. She pushed the suitcase to the manager, “Can you help me get my room back, please? I have to stay for a few more days. I will come back at dinnertime and I’d like to have it in my room, just like before.”  

                 “Sure.” the manager nodded.  

                 Gloria Taylor was implicitly mentioning Ding Moore.  

                 She was going out with Ding Moore now. If she didn’t come back at night, Ding Moore must have done something to her which made her unable to come back.  

                 Although Ding Moore had no reason to harm her, she could never be too careful.  

                 ***  

                 Gloria Taylor and Ding Moore went to a coffee shop near the hotel and sat down to start talking.  

                 They were sitting face to face. She couldn’t help looking at his face.  

                 Ding Moore dressed in black that day. He looked poise and serious. If she looked at him carefully, she could spot the difference between him and James Moore.  

                 It might also be because his identity had been exposed, he no longer tried to hide himself and mimicked James Moore.  

                 That night, when Gloria Taylor and Kenny Clarke went to James Moore’s house, Ding Moore should have deliberately tried to mimic James Moore and meddle with his business.  

                 Well, he succeeded.  

                 Thinking of this, her complexion changed.  

                 If that night she recognized that he was not James Moore, James Moore wouldn’t be taken away by now.  

                 He pushed the menu book to Gloria Taylor and made a ‘please’ gesture to her, “woman first.”  

                 Besides the seriousness and depth in his manner speaking, his words and gesture were indeed similar to those of James Moore, so he could easily pretend to be him.  

                 She took a deep breath and ordered a cup of coffee.  

                 After they finished ordering and was waiting for their coffees to be served, Gloria Taylor asked him, “where is James Moore?”  

                 “Didn’t you agree to have a cup of coffee with me? We haven’t finished drinking our coffees. Why the long face?” Ding Moore asked leisurely.  

                 Gloria Taylor smiled insincerely, “Will you tell me after drinking the coffee?”  

                 “Sure. We shall finish our coffees first.”  

                 This time, the waiter came up with their orders.  

                 Ding Moore ordered a cup of black coffee without sugar nor milk.  

                 Gloria Taylor ordered a latte.  

                 They were sitting face to face and the atmosphere was beyond strange.  

                 Ding Moore sipped his coffee for an hour. After the coffee was completely cold, he gulped it down his mouth.  

                 He said, “You have recovered very well. James took a good care of you, didn’t he?”  

                 There was a lot of information in his sentence.  

                 “Do you want what happened in the island?” she didn’t go straight to the details. She wanted to know if Ding Moore really knew what had happened.  

                 “Of course, I know.” Gloria Taylor didn’t seem to believe what he said. He added, “I should have been the one who saved you, but James got ahead of me”  

                 Gloria Taylor didn’t understand.  

                 She suspected that Ding Moore deliberately said these incomprehensible words to arouse her curiosity and then, changed the subject.  

                 She couldn’t relax. She sat up straight and asked, “Where is James?”  

                 When Ding Moore heard this, he was surprised, “I didn’t expect you to come to M country. It seems that you still care about him.”  

                 “I’m grateful for what he did to me and now, I come to return the favor.” she said seriously.  

                 Ding Moore was even more surprise, but soon, he recovered his composure.  

                 He knocked the table and said, “I can take you to see him.”
