Chapter 14 - STOLEN (1/2)

After being reprimanded by Dr. Luo, the young doctor found himself stammering whenever he talks to her. So after saying those words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

'What could it be?' The crease on her forehead intensified.

Luo Jingyi returned to her office and found a fancy box with gold embossing on top. It said ZK Fashion. Although ZK Fashion is at its early development in the country, the luxury brand has made a name in the international scene already. With famous people, socialites and A-listers clamoring to get a hand of their products.

Who could have sent this? She wondered as she rummaged for a note. Finding none, Luo Jingyi touched the fabric and for unknown reasons, there was that inkling desire to try it on.

After staring at midnight blue dress in contemplation and giving it much thought, she carefully lifted it and donned it on. She planned to figure out the sender later and pay. She needed to deal with the matter at hand. She must go to the wedding reception if she didn't want to hear an earful from Eunice.

…...

Luo Jingyi walked on the wooden dock stretching out into the water and the scent of saltwater assailed her nose. At the far end, two uniformed hostesses checked for an invitation before ushering them up to the massive ship where the wedding reception was being held. The tightness in security was given with the bride's background. Eunice Lacroix belonged to a political and business family. It was supposed to be a low key event but there was a large number of reporters swarming the barricaded area just to catch a glimpse of the dignitaries attending the event.

Two women at the entrance check the invitation by running it through the scanner.

Luo Jingyi rummaged through her clutch but couldn't find it.

Where is it? I am certain it was here.

Did I drop it at the vet clinic?

Shrek! She was unable to stop her mouth from cursing, finding it was missing.

”I think I've lost it,” she explained to the woman which the other woman returned with a meaningful look, not believing her.

What a lame excuse. It's not the first time they heard these words tonight. Many tried to barge at the wedding reception and said the same thing. Thinking Jingyi was just like another opportunist who wanted to get a scoop, she told her flatly, ”You need to show your invitation before I can let you in. Next!”

Jingyi was pushed aside and if her body would have been weak, she would have been thrown off to the sea. Taken aback by the woman's actions, Jingyi steadied herself. As she was taking out her phone, she heard familiar voices.

Not far from where she was standing, Gong Ni, Wang Biyu and Song Huan were looking at her.

”Ha! She has no invitation but she dared to enter. She thought because she was beautiful she can easily get in.” Gong Ni gloated, flashing the invitation she has on her hand.

Wang Biyu studied Luo Jingyi closely but unsure if it was the same person in her head.

”Isn't that Han Jingyi?” She asked Gong Ni after awhile. Gong Ni looked at Jingyi closely.
