After what had felt like endless business meetings, Liang Jian Amal was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to close his eyes for a few moments. Already he had not had a wink of sleep for over 36 hours. After a long flight he had gone right to chasing after an infuriating woman, with last night's interactions he had been guaranteed another sleepless night. The morning had opened right into business, what little time that he had been able to spare to sleep had been spent on matters relating to Chang.
Sighing, Liang JianAmal rubbed his eyes and looked out onto the concrete jungle sprawling below his his newly acquired office.The jungle that had attempted to hide her from him. The only reason he had aquired the company in America was for the purpose of helping extend the net that he had cast, searching for Chang.
Since she had left, he had greatly expanded his business. What had only existed on the mainland, Singapore and with one branch in the Phillipines, had truly become an international conglomerate. Already this was the eighth location he had personally acquired, or had built, the second for America.
When he had taken over the company, Liang International had been a small distributor of medical supplies. Under his sight the company had branched further into the research and development field within the medicinal field. They had also taken over a few companies specializing in technological advancements. Within just a few short years the company had exploded tremendously, along with his workload.
Standing beside the desk Luo Jun organized the documents from the meeting. As he had been able to sleep the night before there was a renewed vigor to his actions.
"Mr. Liang as business has concluded for the day, would you like me to take you back to the apartment where Miss Dumont resides? Or perhaps the estate you purchased a few months ago? Or-"
Holding his left hand up to silence Luo Jun's droning, Liang JianAmal pinched the bridge of his nose with the other, trying to push back his rising headache. A spark lit up his eyes though at the mention of the apartment as it brought his thoughts to Chang. His lips curving slightly he answered Luo Jun.
Due to the intense traffic that plagued the streets, Liang JianAmal did not arrive at La Vie En Rose until 8:30 in the evening. Entering the nightclub, pounding music reverberated throughout the building, which made his head start to pound even harder.
In the year that Luo Jun had been working for his boss he had seen the man work himself to a ragged state regularly, but he had never seen him looking as haggard as he did now. He dared not mention that to the man himself as he probably would not appreciate hearing it aloud.
Leaning his head back against the plush booth, Liang JianAmal told Luo Jun to take care of the ordering when it came time for it. Massaging the pain drilling into his temples, Liang JianAmal wondered if he had made a mistake in coming. Before he had too much time to regret his decision he saw the side profile of Chang's face from the corner of his eye. Sitting up straighter he tried to see further but their waitress came forward to their table, cutting off his view. Tightening his lips in displeasure he turned his gaze from the short, fair headed caucasian woman and her dazzling smile.
"How can I help you gentlemen tonight?" Leaning against the table the girl gave him a wider smile as she stared at him intensely, trying far too hard to catch his attention.
Sensing his boss's growing displeasure Luo Jun quickly began to rattle off a food order. Peeking over at the dark look on his face still sticking out prominently, he also ordered a bottle of water and asked for something to aid in pain relief.
"Oh I definitely have something for that!" Reaching into her waist apron, the woman fished a few capsules from inside a placed them on the table. "There you go boys, I'll be back with the rest momentarily!" Giving them a wink, the waitress sauntered off sashaying her hips in an exaggerated fashion. Trying not to focus on the irritating woman, Liang JianAmal caught sight of Chang again brightening his mood slightly. Immediately it soured, seeing her so exposed to so many eyes in a revealing top and shorts, carrying a tray laden with colorful drinks.
Furthering his displeasure he saw the waitress that had just help them, brush herself up against Chang. Her hands even found themselves upon Chang's waist, groping her. Snorting, he contained himself. As soon as the waitress came back with the water, Liang JianAmal swallowed the pills. The uneasing pain made his growing temper harder to control.
Multiple times he watched the petite blonde waitress rub against Chang on several occasions. Every time her hands would linger on Chang's body for far too long. From what he could see Chang was very uncomfortable with her behavior as well, causing him to grind his teeth in frustration.
When the waitress came back again after doing it again, he immediately grabbed her arm, seething. As soon as he grabbed her the girl squealed a little and grabbed onto the hand holding her.
"Touch her again if you dare." Hissing from between his teeth, his tone and body language warned that he was absolutely not to be crossed.
Brandy immediately paled under the larger man's threatening aura. Tears had immediately sprang up in her large green eyes as she tried to peel the iron grip off her arm. She had no idea who he meant, but she nodded her head eagerly in agreement, just desperate to have the painful grip off of her arm.
After he was sure that she understood, Liang JianAmal released her and stood. Brushing off his jacket, he threw a wad of cash onto the table before stalking out, but not before giving her one last sharp look of warning.
Shell-shocked the girl still stood before the table, holding her arm gingerly as her lower lip trembled. Shocked at his boss's actions Luo Jun mumbled several words of apology to the young woman before following after. Looking back at the young woman again, he could not believe that his generally even-tempered boss had manhandled the woman in such a fashion, for no reason as far as he saw.
