192 WANTS TO ATTRACT ATTENTION (2/2)
The siren-like voice won him over and he raised his glass. As they drunk together, Zhong Feng felt like he had fallen under peer pressure. Is this what parents warned their good children about? But again, even if Hu Lei asked him to follow her to the underworld, he would not think twice.
”Do you see us?” Shun asked out aloud.
He had been ready to be fed dog food gladly because he wanted Wang Che to understand that he should not desire what was not his. But why was he also suffering? As a forever alone guy, he felt that this should be against human rights.
”Do you want to burst my eardrums?” Wang Che looked with casual grace as he held a whiskey in his hand. Though he looked totally relaxed, Shun immediately clammed up tight in fear, leaving only a hint of rebellion in his eyes.
”Shun, your courage is too small.” Hu Lei laughed.
Shun did not want to accept this judgement, but the facts were before him. The three men chatted casually about things, mostly business and technology. Unfortunately, they did not have juicy gossip, so the tipsy Hu Lei quickly became bored because there was not intrigue.
After a couple more drinks, she pointed to the dance floor and left. Zhong Feng wanted to stop her, but he also wanted for her to have fun. In the end, he remained on the seat with much difficulty. Still, he lost interest in the conversation and chose to watch her.
Hu Lei who was already feeling warmth in her belly descended to the dance floor. Usually, the people who came to Calibrate were elite and did not dance. They only watched the professionals who were hired to liven up the place. Dancing was encouraged. However, only the most confident people would dare to dance amidst professionals.
When Hu Lei went down to the dance floor, a few gazes turned to her. There were a few gazes of interest from some men and a lot of the women looked at her in contempt. After all, Hu Lei did not look like she was much. With her casual fitting jeans and a long-sleeved cashmere sweater, she actually looked good. However, in this place, she did not really amount to much.
The thought on everyone's mind was one: she just wants to attract attention.
When the dancers on the floor saw her interest, two of the lead girls beckoned to her to come closer. Hu Lei did not think much of it. She walked to them with a smile and a sway in her step. The tequila had already seeped into her system. She did not exactly feel drunk, just happy and excited.
The two dancers stood on each side of her and demonstrated their routine deliberately and somewhat slowly. Hu Lei was not new to dancing in clubs, but the facts of her nightlife were not like a normal person would assume. In her old life, she had needed to deal with a lot of dangerous people, and one of the easiest places to find targets was in clubs. People tended to let down their guards once they started drinking and having fun.
All she would need was to move around a filled club for a little while, dancing and pretending to be drunk. Then, she would drop in a little something in the targets' drinks as they were served or as she walked by a table. In most cases, she did not like fighting because there were too many variables. Her special concoctions were more reliable.
In any case, dancing was not hard for her because she was extremely flexible. In addition, she had trained a little when she was a teenager.
After a single demonstration, she joined in the dance smoothly, shocking the two girls who had thought that she was a complete newbie trying to have a little fun. She matched their moves by watching them. Usually, if a person had relatively good skills, they would only need to hear the music and get the general gist of the dance, and they would be able to follow along.
In the VIP lounge, Zhong Feng watched with dark concealed eyes, unblinking. In the shadows, another pair of eyes looked at the graceful, laughing woman with unwavering focus.
