2 Not What it Looks Like

On the top floor in a meeting room of Eve Enterprises. A man ran his hand's through his hair. You could feel the frustration coming off of him. He sighed before calling his assistant Rui Chen. "Rui Chen prepare my car," his voice clear and smooth as he spoke. "Yes sir," another man spoke on his ear piece. Zhao Huojin, the CEO of Eve Enterprises, grabbed his jacket lit a cigarette and walked towards the elevator. The lights started to shut off as the doors closed and he descended down to the first floor. Walking out of the empty building, he got in the car before telling his assistant where to go.

. . .

In the back of a high class bar, Zhao Huojin sat in the VIP section watching everyone make a commotion. He had ordered a full bottle of pure vodka and it was now more than halfway gone. Scanning the dance floor with his eyes they stopped on a woman. She had black hair that stopped in the middle of her back, wore a white dress that clung to her body and displayed her curves and a black jean jacket. He watched her stumble back over to the bar and order more drinks. Zhao Huojin decided to leave, but as he exited he saw to men approach and try to hit on the woman. Seeing her unwillingness as they tried to force her to go with her he decided to step in. But before Huojin could help she had already kicked one in the man parts before collapsing. He went over punched the other guy and picked her up before paying for their drinks exiting the bar. As he drove home with her in the back he noticed her cheecks were stained with tears making him wonder why she was there to begin with.

Pulling into his private villa Zhao Huojin carried, Liu Zhi Rou from the car to a guest room in his house. It had 3 levels; 2 guests bedrooms, a master bedroom and 3 bathrooms on the second floor and one kitchen, a spacious living room and dining room combo, another guest bedroom, a patio that lead to the backyard and pool on the first floor, and in the basement a second kitchen, workout room and game room. He placed Liu Zhi Rou in the room on the first floor removing her shoes and placing a cover over her before leaving and going to his own room. But before he left the room she mumbled something he couldn't hear.

. . .

The next morning Liu Zhi Rou woke with a terrible headache and rushed to the bathroom and threw up into the toilet before flushing. Walking over the sink she rinced her mouth and looked into the mirror. Remembering why she had went to the bar tears tumbled down her face as she grit her teeth in anger. Her heart was wounded deep. Five years, they had been together for five years but he just threw it all away. Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings she began to panic. Running back into the room and checking the sheets. After finding they were clean her worry eased slightly. Still tense, she grabbed her boots in her hand and slowly opened the door. Looking around to make sure no one was there she walked down the hallway and into the living room and was on her way to the front door. She realized she had nowhere to go and decided to ask her grandparents if she could stay with them for a week. The house she lived in with her ex-fiancé was bought by her, but living there would bring back too many memories. So she was going to sell the house and was curious of Chen Zhang Wei's reaction to coming home to a place that's no longer available to him. But her eyes stopped on the kitchen she saw.

She marvled looking at all the cooking materials Liu Zhi Rou grew excited. She had always wanted to be a cook and had started learning at 6. But she later fell in love with acting and fashion design. She slowly tiptoed over to the pantry and took a peak inside. Her eyes widened when she saw a stash of snacks; chips, donuts, and candy. She slowly gather the stuff in her hands before walking into the dining room and began snacking away. Liu Zhi Rou was so busy eating she failed to notice the man approaching her. *Ahem* clearing his throat Zhao Huojin had finally gotten her attention. Freezing for a moment she swallowed the food before speaking.

Zhao Huojin had just woken up and was preparing to go to work when he remembered the woman from the night before. He was going to see if she had left already when he heard clattering down stairs. Worried that she might be a thief he grabbed the gun from his night stand before carefully walking down stairs. He followed the noise to his dining room to find the same lady from the night before eating through his snack supply. Clearing his throat he caught her attention before staring at her wanting an explanation. She turned to face him before finishing what was in her mouth and speaking. "I swear this is not what it looks like," she said nervously, before picking up another donut to eat.
