443 What are you thinking? (2/2)
After Morris Liu gave his gifts to Mr. Tang, all the gossip going around and the odd stare that were set on him, he treated them all as noises — irrelevant noises. He completely understood why Ethan Lu did what he did; to remind him not to go overboard.
Well, he was afraid he already did and could imagine how he would react tomorrow. Still, that was not important right now as he caught a glimpsed Lexi drinking wines. Thus, he was worried that she might drink a little too many.
Looking around, Morris Liu could not track Lexi's shadow hence, he discreetly headed out while keeping his cold front. As he exited the place again, he slid his hand inside his pocket suit and picked up his phone to call someone.
”Where is she?” The moment the line connected, Morris Liu emotionlessly inquired.
”She's on her way to the east wing of the place. Sir, Miss Yang seemed she had drunk a little too much and stagge—” Even before the man on the other end could finish his report, Morris Liu ended the call as he rushed his way to Lexi's current location.
What was she doing? A little too many? How? He caught her earlier downed two glasses of wine. But, knowing Lexi, that was not enough to intoxicate her.
'Lexi, Lexi... what are you thinking?' On his way towards the east side of this hotel, Morris Liu's mind was filled with worry as he knew a thing or two of what was going around. He once again contacted his informant to know her current location.
After God knows how long, the moment Morris Liu turned to one corridor, Lexi was standing in front of the elevator as she abused any buttons she could press.
”Lexi!” Out of worry, Morris Liu called her out to catch her attention. He saw her slowly turned her head to his approaching figure before a huge smile slowly brightened her face.
”Hey!” Waving her hand in the air, Lexi unreservedly greeted.
”You...! What are you doing?” Morris Liu gritted his teeth as his eyes darkened. By the looks of it, Lexi was indeed drunk as her face was flushed and he got a whiffed of her breath.
”Hehe, you said you're not coming? Ethan, you—!” Still grinning from ear to ear, Lexi pouted before she suddenly threw herself to him.
That instant, Morris Liu stiffened as his eyes widened. Her sudden hug, it immobilized him as if he was undergoing some shocks. His plans... what was she doing?
”Stop...”
For a while, neither of them moved until Lexi buried her face on his shoulder. Fortunately, no one was around or rather, they saw no one spying on them.
”Alright, I'll drop you in your room — you're really cruel.” After some time, Morris Liu hanged his head low and murmured. At the same time, the elevator slowly opened, and he assisted Lexi to step inside.
