125 COME HERE (2/2)
Hu Lei's soul immediately came back to her body. She wondered if she should beat the man up for real. How could he think about those kinds of things with people waiting? She stood up and looked at him with fierce eyes, but then she realised that glaring had lost its power. She sighed helplessly.
”Do you have anything that I can use to cover my neck?” She asked.
She needed to conceal the marks, or she would not know where to hide. Though she was gutsy, she felt shy when such matters were involved.
”Come here.” He motioned to her.
He took a brush and neatly arranged her hair to cover the neck. She looked at her reflection and nodded. It was not a reliable solution, but it would do.
Hu Lei looked at the guests with a critical eye as she approached with Zhong Feng behind her. She did not know what she had expected to see, but the image before her was definitely not it.
One of the guests was a man with a hard and tough face and a serious air. If she could hazard a guess, she would say he was military. Judging from his posture, his general air and hard eyes, he must have been a soldier for some time.
The other was a girl who looked quite young. She had good facial features, but her demeanour was made severe by the bun on her head. More importantly, she was wearing a black suit. Though it seemed to fit her perfectly, the core design was obviously from men's clothes.
While she was observing them, they were also looking at her. The man was shocked, and his surprise showed in his eyes before it was quickly concealed. On the other hand, the girl looked interested with a shadow of a smile.
”I am sorry for keeping you waiting.” Hu Lei apologised with a smile.
”It was no problem.” The girl replied.
The man remained silent.
”Hu Lei, this is Miss Jiang Wen will be your assistant. This is her brother, Jiang Ting.” Zhong Feng introduced in his normal cold and distant manner.
Zhong Feng, at heart, was an introverted person. Only Hu Lei could cause him to open up and be warm. However, when faced with other people, he would treat his words like droplets of gold. As a result, he would always appear cold and detached.
Hu Lei smiled, seeing this icy side of him before turning to the guests once again.
”It is nice to meet you, Jiang Wen. It seems that I will be troubling you.”
The girl stood up gracefully and bowed lightly with her right hand over her chest.
”It is my pleasure. Please call me, Beatrice.” She said earnestly.
Hu lei nodded and looked at the brother. His lips were twitching, and he was obviously holding himself back from something with great difficulty.
She looked at Beatrice once again.
It seemed that there were fun times ahead.
