Chapter 1199 - So Close (2/2)

She remained in the washroom for a few minutes, until her phone rang. Her sister had sent a message asking where she was.

Xia Tang replied: [I’m coming back now.]

When Xia Tang walked out of the washroom, her expression was calm again.

After the intense pain that night, she had done her homework on Huo Ze and read all of his flowery news.

He was indeed a playboy, often changing his female partners, who ranged from well-known celebrities to innocent new celebrities. There were all sorts of women, except for the extremely charming and coy ones.

She made a bet and made herself into the type he hated the most. Indeed, he did despise her. Perfect.

When Xia Tang went back to the private room, she didn’t see Huo Ze anymore.

The Huo Third Master was the person in-charge of the Huo family now. After he agreed to her Brother and Momo’s marriage, Mr and Mrs Huo couldn’t comment about it anymore.

Seeing Brother and Momo’s marriage settled, Xia Tang’s heightened heart also relaxed a lot. Brother had given too much to Sister and her, and it was time for him to have his own happiness.

…

Xia Tang still had work at night. After informing her siblings, she rushed towards where the studio the magazine shoot was.

When they were done, it was nearly dawn already.

It was drizzling a little and Xia Tang didn’t know where her a.s.sistant had gone. Xia Tang was already used to such a sight. Her a.s.sistant worked for a top celebrity before. Now that the a.s.sistant was working for a newbie like her, it was natural for the a.s.sistant to not respect her.

Xia Tang didn’t mind the a.s.sistant’s att.i.tude.

Not expecting it to rain suddenly, Xia Tang didn’t bring an umbrella, so she put her bag over her head and ran towards the road. Because she was running too quickly and she wasn’t too used to the thin heels she was wearing, she lost her step and her heel got stuck between the gaps of a drain cover.

Xia Tang tried to take her heel out, but she couldn’t do it. She was wearing a miniskirt from the photo shoot, so it wasn’t convenient for her to squat down. Just as she was about to take her feet out from the heel, a large umbrella appeared over her.

Xia Tang looked to the side, slightly surprised at the sight of the man standing beside her.

It was the Huo family’s Third Master.

“Hold the umbrella.”

Before Xia Tang could say anything, the man pushed the umbrella into her hand.

The man crouched down, his dry and warm hand holding her slender ankle. Xia Tang froze. “I-It’s alright, I can do it myself.”

The man looked up at her, a masculine smile appearing on his handsome and dignified face. “Are you sure you can do it? Just relax.”

Xia Tang’s body shook shakily, the umbrella tilting and raindrops landed on the man’s s.h.i.+rt. His shoulder and arm muscles were exposed completely from his action of taking out her heel from the grate.
