Chapter 213 - 213: Two-Faced (1/2)

An Jiaying took a deep breath and composed herself. Her back straightened quickly when the doors opened.

She watched as Ethan wordlessly came back to his seat. All throughout their meeting, she've noticed that he haven't yet touch his glass.

Is he really that cautious?

What does he think of her? One of those trash who would use drugs to force someone into submission?

An Jiaying scoffed in her mind. She's not as low as to spike his drink. Besides, tricks like are so old-school, and it wouldn't be enough to catch someone like Ethan Li.

”Miss An.”

Hearing his deep voice, An Jiaying's attention snapped back. ”Yes?” Pink dusted her cheeks in embarrassment, as if she was caught not paying attention.

”If you want me to accept your proposal, I want you to change the properties that will be offered to us.”

Hope swelled up in her chest. Feeling triumphant, An Jiaying did not properly understand what Ethan's next word was.

”...do we have an agreement, Miss An?”

”Y..Yes, of course!” An Jiaying agreed almost immediately. She wanted him to repeat what he said before that, but it would make her appear inattentive. ”Thank you for your considerstion, Mr. Li.”

”Do not thank me yet. I will not be signing the contract while the conditions are yet to be prepared.” Ethan stood up. ”Tomorrow, my secretary will be handing you the doc.u.ments.”

Ethan turn around and was preparing to leave.

”A-ah, wait.” An Jiaying stopped him, wanting him to stay a bit longer.

Ethan stopped walking but did not face her.

”I-uhm...if you don't mind me asking...I wanted to know if Mr. Li was invited at the charity party hosted by Zhu Dinghong Pavilion's owner?” If Ethan were to face her, she would look like a nervous kitten fidgeting in the presence of a big dog. ”You see, I was also invited...” An Jiaying drawled, hinting something.

Ethan thought for second before replying, ”We were.”

”We?” An Jiaying repeated in her mind.

”Is Mr. Li attending?” She wanted to confirm, disregarding the ”we” in his sentence.

Maybe the ”we” he's pertaining is his secretary or a couple of business partners?

Then, Ethan gave her a side glance, not caring about the fact her expression looks confused.

”My wife and I are attending. It's her friend who's hosting the event after all.” With that as the closing remarks, Ethan did not linger any longer and left.

The automatic doors produced a loud click when they closed.

The loud click was like the remote to an eruption. An Jianying's eyes shook and turned red from anger.

Her face blackened incredibly.

”Your wife?” She gritted her teeth. ”Your wife?”

”Who's your wife?!” Blood oozed out of her palms as she clenched them.

”I know nothing about your wife! You don't have a wife!” An Jiaying was aware that the place was sound proof, so she screamed on the top of her lungs.
