Pearl earrings
It is the strangest feeling, and it is one that's unfamiliar to him.
Li Jun found himself staring at a pair of pearl earrings outside a fancy jewelry store. He stood there debating whether he should purchase it as a gift. Except, he had never given a gift to a woman unrelated to him unless he's fucking her.
Should I buy it?
No, I shouldn't.
I should. It's pretty
Maybe not. I have no reason to give her earrings.
But she'll like it.
No, she'll think it's for sexual advances.
His thoughts wandered into Lin, she occupied his mind for most part of the morning. Li Jun somehow find this aggravating and fascinating. He was just fucking Sarah or Hannah just the night before. If anything, he should be thinking of the wild evening they shared together, not the girl who was cleaning the mess after.
He chased the thought away and pivot away from the store. Only to come back after six feet, running inside the shop to purchase the pair of earrings without hesitation.
"How much for the pair of pearl earrings?" Li Jun inquired at the sales clerk almost out of breath.
The sales clerk lifted her head from the company's brochure she was reading and greeted him with a smile.
"The pearl earrings by the window." He said with a point of his finger..
The sales clerk walked over to the site where earrings had been displayed. She flipped the tag over. "It's ten thousand Yuan."
Li Jun only nodded and plucked a credit card out of his wallet. "It'll take it."

Li Jun sat on the back seat of his brand new Aston Martin when another set of unfamiliar feeling visited him.
He is on his way home when he became overwhelmed with a feeling of excitement. Not the kind of excitement he experience at his job. No. It was the kind of feeling that he had forgotten long ago. It was the kind of excitement a teenage boy or a young man experienced. It was the feeling of being infatuated.
He just discovered he has a crush.
He felt the sudden rush of blood on his cheeks, picking up the bag that's been sitting beside him. He dropped the jewelry box on his lap, opening it and taking a peek of the pearl earrings inside.
"Is it for the pretty girl last night, boss?" Asked his more than nosey cheuffer, Li Wei. He recalled dropping her off to her apartment early this morning.
His eyes wandered into the rearview mirror, watching Li Jun.
Li Jun raised a brow. "Perhaps."
"She's a beautiful girl, boss. But I kinda like that other one, the Russian girl you had a few nights ago."
Li Jun raised his other brow. Li Wei paid too much unnecessary attention to his affairs. His raised eyebrows knotted into a frown.
The changed in Li Jun's expression made Li Wei flicked his gaze away. He's more than aware what Li Jun is capable of. Beatings, killings, tortures and so on. He doesn't want to be on the other end of it.
Sometimes, he forget he works for one of the most notorious gangster in the nation.
He groaned. "Sorry, boss. I was just charmed by all your girlfriends. Expensive escorts are all beautiful."
