Gala (3)

It has been over an hour since Fan MeiLi arrived at the gala, and she somehow lost Zhang Jing among the crowd. Deciding to take a break, she steps out of the ballroom and walked around the halls looking at the pictures that donned the walls. Coming to a corner she stopped when she heard voices, she leaned against the wall and listened to the conversation.

"I need to try again when I give you the signal don't mess up." A female said with a voice that sounded familiar to Fan MeiLi.

"Yes, miss."

"Remember, if everything goes well you'll never have to worry about money again." The female said with joy.

Fan MeiLi sensing that the conversation was coming to an end she was about to walk away when she got surprised by a hand covering her mouth. Looking up she saw a handsome man with cold eyes looking down at her before she could say anything she was pulled into a side room. When he closed the door she pulled his hand off her and pushed him away.

Giving him a glare, "Who are you? Why did you pull me in here?" She yelled.

The cold man smiled that put shivers down Fan MeiLi's spine, he then walked over to the in-room sofa and sat down. Fan MeiLi feeling annoyed about being ignored she gave him a glare and headed for the door.

"Forget the reason! I hope we never see each other again!" She yelled grabbing the door.

Before she could open the door a voice full of ice filled the room, "Leaving now would be a grand mistake, little tiger."

"What do you mean?" Fan MeiLi asked turning around.

"I just happen to hear a plan against me and when I went to confront the other party I find you there, imagine my surprise." He said looking at her with a hard stare.

Fan MeiLi was shocked, she looked at the guy in confusion, it couldn't be that he thought that she was involved in some plot. "Listen, I was just getting away from the huge crowd in the gala and just happen to hear some people talking."

"Maybe and maybe not." He said leaning back on the sofa.

Fan MeiLi marched over and glared at the cold man, "Think whatever you want but I have no part in any plot against you. So with that said I'll be on my way."

"Little tiger, you truly are just as feisty as before."

"Why do you keep calling me that ridiculous name?" Fan MeiLi asked while glaring at him.

The cold man just gave her a smile and proceed toward the exit, "We should be leaving the main reason this gala was prepared will be starting soon."

Fan MeiLi only felt more confused about this whole event, but she had that weird feeling again and decided to trust her guts and follow the man. Following him back toward the ballroom she stopped when she saw a bunch of police standing outside the doors.

"CEO Wei, everyone is in placed and we are ready to begin."

Fan MeiLi stopped in her tracks when she heard the police call out the cold man's name. CEO Wei as in the big boss of the Hansoo group, the very man she worked for. How is it possible that she would meet him, then she frowned, she just glared at her boss.

Feeling like getting involved with this man will change her life, Fan MeiLi slowly back away from the group and slipped back into the ballroom. Walking toward a busy crowd she tried to clear her mind, she fully understood that she was lucky she didn't hit him when he pulled her into that side room.

"MeiLi, there you are! Have you tried the food it's so good." Zhang Jing said skipping over toward Fan MeiLi

"Where have you been?" Fan MeiLi pouted

"Tonight has been crazy! When I couldn't find you I saw Mr. Su the fashion designer and we started talking about the fall show in Milan. Then I lost myself in the food table, and I overheard that Nick Yang is here."

Fan MeiLi could only smile, she needs to think like her bestie and forget the hall drama and just enjoy the night. Zhang Jing story was cut short when the MC walked on stage to start the introduction of the product unveiling.

Little did Fan MeiLi know was that outside a cold CEO was giving the order to gather information on the lady in the red dress and hazel eyes.
