Chapter 7 - 7: Mine? (1/2)

Lillie's eyes widen in disbelief, his cold yet soft lips touches her. Then, she felt a wet sensation trying to pry her lips open. Shivering by this, her trembling hands placed itself on his chest.

Then, with all her strength, she pushed him off. Lillie scurried to get off her seat and back away.

Vigorously wiping her lips with her sleeves, she gave Ethan her most ferocious glare.

”Ethan Li!” She growled. Ethan smirked and raised his hands in surrender.

”Worth it.” He huskily replied. Lillie finally calmed down, she went back to the table and grabbed her sling purse.

”Searching for loopholes, aren't we? Expect this one to be the last and also our last meeting.” She indifferently stated, turning her back coldly at him.

”See you at March twenty nine.” Both her eyes and voice were covered in ice. But then, Lillie was yanked back and stumbled on his chest.

”That was not on the contract.” He said.

”Ah, so you know there's a contact.” Lillie mocked.

Ethan sighed, ”It's all your fault...” He muttered.

”Mine?” Lillie raised her eyebrow. ”How is it my fault? Care to enlighten me, Mr Li?” Lillie Bai crossed her arms.

”It is for me to know, and for you to find out.” Lillie scoffed and ignored him, pulling out her phone once again and typed something.

”It's time for me to go. I must say, this dinner is anything but pleasant.” She coldly stated.

Lillie Bai left the suffocating room and went on ahead, she already texted her parents that she'll go first. Just as she was about to exit the building, her little brother called.

”Sis, are you going home already?” He asked, his tone to her was polite and a bit childish, much different to the tone he used to others.

Lillie turned around, her gaze soften just seeing her precious little brother. ”Not yet. I was about to head to the company.”

”Here's the key to the car. Dad said he'll just call Lukas.” Lukas is their family driver.

”You're putting on an all nighter again?” He asked.

Lillie nodded, grabbing the key. ”If you want, I can drop you off the mansion.”

Gabriel shook his head. ”No, I want to go with you.”

”Alright.” Gabriel happily went to his sister's side, like a puppy to his owner, waging his tail.

”Sis, can you teach me how to beat the mega boss on 'Nightingale'?” He enthusiastically pleaded.

”WAIT!” A familiar high pitched voice exclaimed behind them. Gabriel's face darker and glared at the annoying girl.
