Chapter 45 - Adamantly stubborn (1/2)

Finally, after an intense workout of playing around, everyone helped each other to the chairs. Tao who was standing by the side held himself from giving a piece of advice at their childish behavior. It was okay to play around, but wasn't it stupid to play until their energy drained out? However, what surprised him the most was the fact that his aloof president was one of those people. Tao sighed.

”Alright,” Eric Wu spoke, garnering the attention of everyone.

”Cheers to new friends and new little brother,” he said as he rose his glass.

”Cheers!” the rest shouted as they rose their glass. Soon, the sound of glasses clashed rang, solemnizing the beginning of today's small banquet.

Maybe because everyone was hungry, no one talked about the serious incident that occurred this afternoon. Until the end, the only serious topic being discussed was Sun Nan's table manner. Everyone agreed with Lu Fei that he should eat more instead of speaking more.

”President, the head of security is on the line,” Tao approached Eric Wu with a phone in his hand. He tried to be discreet as possible as not to disturb the merry atmosphere. Eric Wu gave a subtle nod and walked to a quiet area so that he could take the call without any disturbance.

Bella Lim noticed him leaving and her gaze followed him to where he was at. She was anxious when she saw his expressions changed. When he looked at her direction, she could see the darkening gaze of his.

”What is it?” she murmured to herself. Her hand clutched on her jean as her instinct told her that it was related to the incident this afternoon.

Little pumpkin who was giggling at Sun Nan's another silly joke, noticed his big sister's fidgety manners.

”Big sis, are you okay?” he asked, slightly worried. He tugged the sleeve of her t-shirt to get her attention. His solicitous manner towards his big sisters brought Sun Nan and Lu Fei's attention to them.

Bella Lim was startled. Then, when she realized that all eyes were on her, a smile was fast on her face to mask the troubled look she had. ”My stomach feels uncomfortable,” she said exaggeratedly, putting her hands on her stomach with a grimace on her face.

”Big sis needs to poopoo?” little pumpkin asked. His innocent face tilted to one side to see her reaction. Bella Lim blanked for a moment, uncertain on how to proceed with her lie.

”Y-yes,” she forced herself to admit. At the same time, she could feel her cheeks getting warmer.

”Let me show you the way to the restroom,” Lu Fei who was listening rose from his seat. Sun Nan made a disgusted gesture, pinching his nose as he shooed her away.

”Go, go… I can already smell the smell,” he taunted, purposely swatting the empty air. Bella Lim stared at him with a blank expression. Did Sun Nan believe that she needed to poop too? Eh?

”Hehehe, big sis looks like she needs to poopo this big,” little pumpkin giggled as he made a big circle with his hands.

Bella Lim chuckled, knowing that she couldn't deny even if she wanted too. 'Might as well leave,' she thought. She excused herself and followed Lu Fei who was already waiting behind her.

Not long after they left, Eric Wu approached the table and saw that two people were absent, he asked Sun Nan about their whereabouts. Once he got the answer he wanted, he left the area while reminding Sun Nan to look after little pumpkin.
