77 Chair

Neo halted his steps and looked at the direction where the voice came from. I stayed quiet and waited for him to decide if we should come to them or not. Without any warning, his aura suddenly changed from being nonchalant to one of killing intent. I felt goosebumps crawl on my skin from the tip of my finger up to the back of my neck as he let go of my hand and casually draped his right arm around my shoulder. He then pulled me closer to him making me jolt in surprise.

Are the cameras already rolling? Are we in action now? I glanced at the table where a girl wearing a cream coloured long gown is standing as she waited for me and Neo to come their way. She has a black shoulder-length hair and a beautiful face. She smilingly motioned for us to come closer to them. I am not familiar with this girl but I am very familiar with the girl sitting next to her.

The look on Ms A's face is epic! Her eyes grew big as she saw us coming closer to them. She looks like a little girl who is about to cry because a bully suddenly snatched her favourite toy. I subconsciously rolled my eyes as I saw how effective our little action was in making the little fiancee lose her cool. Does it really look like I am enjoying myself right now? It's your toy who rolled itself and jumped on me dear not the other way around, so stop glaring at me like I'm a serial killer or something. Neo pulled me even closer to him as we stopped in front of the group.

They are sitting in a table good for 4-5 persons. There are a total of 3 persons present at the table when we arrived. The girl wearing the cream coloured long gown strode out of here spot earlier and for an unknown reason, she is now standing in front of me. I can easily imagine what questions are floating in her head right now. Her smile is somehow making me feel a bit uncomfortable, it's like she has an evil plan in mind.

"Fei," Neo said as he moved his left arm and placed his left index finger on the girl's forehead and pushed her backwards.

The girl childishly pouted her red lips as she rubbed her forehead using her right hand. "What was that for?" the girl whined as she glared at the tall iceberg beside me.

"Stop making my date uncomfortable. Go stare at others instead," he said with an indifferent tone of voice.

"Oh... Did I make you uncomfortable? I'm sorry about that, I didn't intend to be rude. I just wanted to get a closer look at you. My name is Fei Shen." she said apologetically and offered her hand for a shake.

I shook her hand as I also introduced myself to her. "Nice to meet you. I'm Elrae Vienne Tan."

"AH! So you are the rumoured ice queen of Xin City High! I guess an ice queen can easily tame an iceberg like Neo, Oh what a perfect mat--" Fei was not able to finish her sentence because a calm sweet voice suddenly interrupted her.

"Fei, Don't be loud. You are disturbing the other customers here. Just let them take a seat first." Miss A said in a calm sweet voice.

"Sorry, I got carried away. I should have let you take a seat first." Fei said as she stepped aside.

"That won't be--" I was about to refuse their offer but I suddenly felt pain on my right shoulder. I flinched as I felt Neo squeeze my shoulder indicating me to stop. Without any warning, he suddenly bent his body so that his mouth is now close to my ears. I can feel his hot minty breath as it brushes my skin.

"Let's play along with them." Neo whispered.

After hearing what he said, I tilted my head a bit so that I could also whisper to him. "You better make sure I eat my fill without having any indigestion later." I whispered to him. Neo didn't answer but I felt him became stiff as I whisper those words to him. Hey! Don't tell me, you can't also guarantee my safety against food poisoning! "En" I heard Neo say after a few seconds of silence. "You better keep your word." I whispered back to him.

We then moved back to our original position. I was surprised when I saw Fei and Miss As expressions. They look like they have just seen a ghost, with their eyes wide open and their hands over their mouth. What's wrong with them?

"Ehem" My gaze then fell on the only sitting man together with these two ladies. "Come on Neo, let your companion have a sit first. She must be tired standing there for a long time." A guy wearing a black suit and tie said as he smiled at us. He have a calm and gentle air with him, so different with this devil who is oozing with dangerous vibe.

He stood up from his seat and like a gentle man offered me one."By the way, My name is Juaquin Yuan. Neo's cousin." a dimple then showed on both of his cheeks as he smilingly offered his hand for a shake. I also introduced myself to him and shook hands with him.

I do want to sit down already but Neo's right arm is still draped over my shoulder. I was about to tell him to let go of me when he suddenly lifted his arm away from my shoulder and walk towards the empty seat beside the seat Juaquin offered to me. He pulled the seat like a gentleman and actually motioned for me to sit on that chair. I acted like I was not surprised at all with his actions but deep inside my organs are actually in turmoil as I confidently strode towards him.

"Thank you." I said to Neo.

"No problem." He said with a small smile on his lips. I wanna vomit, why is this man acting cute? It doesn't fit him at all.
