263 Donst try and shepherd me! (1/2)

The vulnerable man from the other night had been replaced by the confident, sexy man. Ever since she had discovered that he was the same guy from that night, Sam had found out as much as she could about him through social media. Unfortunately for her, curiosity had won over self-restraint!

As per the tabloids, he was every inch the Casanova, which she had suspected him to be, based on his love making skills that night. Thankfully he didn't remember her enthusiastic but lacking skills that night.

Putting that aside, the only thing that was jarring or rather contrasting, was his anguish for the lost love didn't go well with this spoilt, rich flirt image. She had seen him heartbroken, desolate and more...

Which one of them was he?

”What am I thinking? I have no time and no inclination to think about anyone. I can't lose focus of my goal. One misstep from me end and that bastard will win again,” she scolded herself severely.

”Don't you want the credit for these suggestions, though? May be that will help others, especially your father, in thinking favourably of you,” Wei suggested, putting a halt to her thoughts.

”Ha… favourably? Even if I acquired a pair ofwings someday, he would suspect me of having stolen them from an angel. So, no, I don't want any acknowledgment. I just want to contribute on behalf of the Li family. I want to do justice towards my grandfather's faith in me and my capabilities. I am not looking for a validation from my father, not in this lifetime,” she couldn't prevent the bitterness from seeping into her words.

”I know a thing or two about parent-child discord. Don't lose hope. It may not always remain so bad,” he tried to reassure her.

”I'll wait outside the conference room for everyone,” she murmured and excused herself.

He could see that she didn't believe him but was too polite to say so. Damn, he was intrigued about the Li family history now. Or maybe it was the woman who fascinated him but he didn't want to acknowledge that. After all, his heart was not ready to allow anyone to come within a thumping distance of it.

”Why did you come here without me? Do you want to parade our internal feud in front of outsiders?” her father scowled at her, the minute he saw her waiting outside the conference room.

She looked at him with disdain but chose not to respond. Mr. Wang walked upto them right after and acknowledged them with a polite nod.
