Chapter 400 - Jealousy (1/2)

”Jun Mo,” Edward greeted his friend with a hand grasp and a pat on the back.

Amy grabbed Jun Mo a little tighter. What had she been thinking, she wondered? Edward and the gang would be here of course.

The four of them were inseparable really and if Jun Mo had to invite anyone to an event like this, it would be them. She tried not to scream.

While she watched, Edward pulled Jun Mo away. He barely unlinked his arm and apologized quickly before stepping aside.

”Jun Mo! What is she doing hanging on to you like that?” Edward asked in an urgent whisper.

”She's my date for the evening,” Jun Mo said, stating the obvious. He enjoyed how Edward's eyes blazed and he seemed very near to punching his friend.

He could not wait for the event to be over so he could relate all of it to Chynna. She would be so pleased that the plan was working. Edward was hardly able to conceal his jealousy.

While they spoke, Amy stood rooted to the spot. She was not used to attention like this, with so many people of high society showing off their precious stones and expensive jewelry.

She looked beautiful nonetheless. She had chosen a simple metallic crepe V-neck dress. Her shoes were simple black stilettoes. Her nails were done up in white polish and her hair was curled and pinned up in a high ponytail, with two loose curls let down at the corners of her ears.

Her jewelry was minimal. A rose petal design of earrings perched on her earlobes and a similar ring worn on the middle finger of her right hand. She clutched an evening bag which held her necessaries.

She was beautifully made up, with smokey eyeshadow and full red lips finished with s.e.xy lip gloss. Her brows were shapely and perfectly arched and her eyeliner was winged and sharp enough to pierce. She was simply stunning.

And that was exactly what this fine man who looked to be in his late thirties or early forties said to her as he inched close to her. The event was yet to begin in earnest and folk were just mingling and getting acquainted. She felt lost in the sea of people. Until this man found her.

”Can I get you a drink?” he asked once she pulled herself out of her thoughts and focused her attention on him.

From the corner of her eye, she could still see Jun Mo and Edward talking animatedly. Whatever it was about, it looked pretty serious.

”Tell me a beautiful woman like you is not here all by herself,” he asked instead.

”Oh, no, I'm with him,” she said, pointing to Jun Mo.

The man nodded. ”All the same, no smart man would leave a jewel like you hanging out all by herself. It is against the law of nature. All vacuums must be occupied,” he winked.
