Chapter 94 - I Love You, Babe (1/2)

As Halia and Emerson moved across the dancefloor, a pair of envious eyes fell on them.

”Marissa,” her assistant said nervously.

The 29-year-old Marissa Qian was the owner of a famous PR agency which she inherited from her dead husband. At just 22 she married a man that was 28 years her senior, but the man unfortunately died from a sudden aneurysm last year. As a result, she became a widow as well as a millionaire overnight.

Even though she was married, it was no secret that she had her eye on Emerson Wu; almost everyone in the rich social circles knew about it. But, Marissa Qian was a manipulative woman who managed to keep her husband in the dark. If he had known, he would have never written her name on his will.

Now that her husband had been gone for a year, she thought it was finally time to make a move on Emerson. She was even wearing a custom made designer dress that showed off her fake b.r.e.a.s.ts; no man could resist taking a second glance at her.

A moment ago, she had popped into the bathroom to freshen up, hoping to get a dance with Emerson and seduce him.

So, she was furious to find that when she returned from the bathroom, Emerson was already dancing with some unknown woman.

She clenched her fists in anger.

As the song ended and the two moved away from each other momentarily, Marissa quickly stormed over and nudged Halia away. She then grabbed Emerson's hand as the next song began.

Marissa managed the PR for Emerson's casinos; he couldn't afford to offend her. So, he took a quick glance at Halia apologetically and Halia gave him a gentle reassuring smile as she walked away. Who was that woman? Why was she so rude and abrupt?

Halia was a little annoyed, but quickly brushed it aside.

At that moment, she spotted Natalie getting a little drunk in the corner. Halia quickly hurried over and helped Natalie stand up.

”Are you OK?” she asked.

Natalie hugged Halia in her drunken state, ”I love you, babe.”

Halia shook her head and sighed. Natalie always got really affectionate whenever she was drunk.

”You should go back to the room first,” Halia frowned as she helped Natalie out to the corridor. Natalie smiled and rested her head on her friend's shoulder as they walked out.

On the other side of the ballroom, Sean noticed the two women stumbling out and was immediately worried about Halia. Was Halia OK?
