Chapter 11 yousre an odd one, arenst you? (1/2)

”So, Mr. Lu, I supposed you didn't invite me to just eat, right?” Lexi spoke after wiping the corners of her lips in a very delicate manner with her own handkerchief. She then raised her sharp eyes to meet his tantalizing gaze.

Ethan Lu's bewitching smile spread across his face as he props the back of his hand on his jaw, ”Right, about arranging a meeting with Mr. Tanaka -- I'm interested. In exchange, I'll invest in your company because I'm not certain if I can convince Morris about your enmity.”

Lexi contemplated for a while as her gaze turned stern as if examining thoroughly what was Ethan Lu's intention, ”How about Bro-- CEO Liu? Aren't you afraid you'll breach your business deals with him if you help me?”

Ethan Lu's smile brightens even more which made him more dashing and amiable. He was somewhat impressed by Lexi's inquiry. To him, under her circumstances, she'll immediately agree without batting an eye. After all, she must be desperate for an investor especially someone like him.

”Are you perhaps worried about me?”

”Huh, Mr. Lu, Don't take it in the wrong way. I am not worried about anyone aside from my dying company that my ancestor built with their blood and tears but, I wanted to make sure if you will keep your words.” Lexi bluntly stated. Though it might seem rude to say such an honest thing specifically doubting a man like Ethan Lu. However, Lexi was a prudent person. Hence, stating what complicates her is her best bet.

”Ms. Yang, you're impressive. I might have a very… complicated reputation but, rest assured that your best bet is me.” Ethan Lu's smile was still intact, yet, his voice had a touch of authority and certainty which indicates that he was serious about this deal.

Staring at each other for a while, Lexi slightly nods in acknowledgment. ”Thank you for the meal, Mr. Lu. I truly appreciate your kind thought in taking me here. I will contact you if the arrangement is complete.” with that said note, Lexi slowly stood from her seat, then marginally bowed her head before taking her leave.

Watching her petite retreating back, Ethan Lu taps his finger on the table while his other one is still propped on his jaw. No one knows what he was thinking but, his bright eyes were clearly screaming in interest towards the ex-fiance of his friend.

Surely, Ethan's impression of Lexi wasn't as bad as everyone else. After all the scene he witnessed earlier and their short meal together, Ethan Lu was rather curious about why Lexi, as sophisticated and clever as herself would be regarded as a naive, vicious, and heedless woman.

”My, Lexi Yang… you're an odd one, aren't you?” He mumbles as Lexi exited the premises without giving him a second glance.
