40 Chapter 40: Are you also the jealous type? (1/2)

”He look so suave. A 9/10. If not for that permanent scowl on his face, he's definitely a home run honey.” Catherine shrugged her shoulders ever so slightly and looked a bit disappointed with the fact that the man wasn't her type at all. Yes the man was quite a looker himself which for her was indeed a plus but not as equally important as one's personality. She does not like her own man to appear cold-blooded and ruthless. She prefers the compassionate type, not to mention docile and tame. 'Hehe!' She smirked with the thought. She would never allow herself to be the one on the receiving end.

Laurice: ” ... ”

Catherine propped her head on her hand that was resting on the table when she received no reaction from her and continued blabbing, ”He doesn't seem like a regular here. I mean, i've been frequenting this place for awhile now but it's the first time i've seen him. The rest are familiar faces though.” Her forehead creased. She was getting curious with these men's identity in general. They were emitting an air of style and grace, authority and wealth.

'Eeh. Not bad.'

Catherine smirked. She was already looking forward to having a good time later tonight. If only her little friend would cooperate then all is well on her end.

...

Laurice just stared blankly and appeared as nonchalant as she could be towards the person in front of her for the whole time, hoping she would stop talking already. She was looking rather indifferent as if she wasn't listening to Catherine at all. And it was a given that she wasn't really interested with gossiping about men in particular. She did not come here to find herself a guy to flirt with. Laurice did not pay attention to Catherine's tittle-tattle anymore and intercepted her chattering.

Laurice: ”I think i'm about to faint from being starved.”

Sensing the dangerous aura around Laurice, Catherine laughed awkwardly and said, ”Hehe, go on honey. Help yourself.”

Finally. Laurice stood up immediately but after two steps she halted and turned back at Catherine.

Laurice: ”You. Behave yourself.” She paused and emphasized the words to warn her not to do anything stupid without her knowledge. She know the both of them could be impulsive but Catherine is way beyond comprehension. She's perky, bold and daring and loves to have fun. Like all the freaking time.

Laurice turned around and left failing to see the faint smile curved into Catherine's glossy lips.

...

About half an hour ago at the Cosmos Buffet Restaurant in The Cube.

Five prominent men, all from prestigious families in the business world occupied their seats on a round table and has already begun eating dinner when an odd momentary silence suddenly filled the venue. Only the sounds of footsteps can be heard as two beautiful women appeared and entered the place.

As if on cue, a beautiful soft and melodious jazz instrumental music resonate across the hall while the two woman walked inside swiftly with grace, one wearing a high-inched pumps looking all posh and stylish while the other was pretty laid-back and casual but both possess a distinct sophistication and charisma that is bewitching enough making everyone around glance towards their direction unconsciously.

All men were enthralled by the sight of the two oblivious women including the ever cold and distant Liam Walsh.

Liam only followed his instincts but the moment his eyes fell towards a particular shapely figure in plain white shirt, his gaze instantly fixed towards the woman who was peeking across the chafing dishes as she passed by until she sat to their assigned table only a few feet apart but just across theirs. His sharp friends caught him eyeing the beautiful stranger.

'Ehemm.'

The moment he heard his friends groaning, he immediately retracted his gaze and focused his attention back to eating as if nothing odd happened to him just now.

Craig: ”So that's your type. Well, i can't blame you. I like eastern women too. They're special.”

His remark earned a glare from Liam.

Craig felt the a streak of panic from his glare but did not held back. He was even pumped up and a sudden realization flashed in his mind.
