Chapter 160 - Gigi Chan: Send Me An Angel (One) (1/2)

M HOTEL, Metro City

Tonight, Gigi is wearing a red dress, her beautiful long hair finely styled as a bun. She's on her way to the dining hall of this hotel for dinner.

The moment she entered the grand hall, every head turned in her direction. Some have an attempt to get her attention, but only a few of them she greeted back.

”Hi!” she smiled, passing tables.

Well, who else didn't recognize her? She was a fashion icon and a successful businesswoman here in Asia and was known worldwide later on.

In recent years, she was all over the media with important gatherings she attended, both the Business Association Summits and Hollywood red carpets, when someone invited her as a date.

Gigi wandered her eyes to the entire grand hall, searching for her aim tonight. And like how Keith used his influences, he assures that all her table reservations will be next to Liam Huo.

She walked straight to her table, and when she was close to Liam, she greeted the guy wearing a brown suit tonight.

”Liam Huo? It is you! I thought it was just someone else,” Gigi exclaimed with enthusiasm, a warm smile playing on her lips.

”Sister-in-law?” It surprised Liam to see her. But Gigi didn't buy it. She is sure that Liam knew she was in the country.

Well then, she'll play along. Gigi smiled at Liam; she reminded the guy. ”Um… you know, it's already in history, Liam.”

Her marriage to his first cousin is long forgotten, and she completely buried it in the center of the earth, praying for the worm to eaten it as it was rotten.

Liam smiled dazzlingly and apologized. ”I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I'm just used to it.”

Gigi placed a sweet smile across her lips. She admits that Liam is more handsome than her ex-husband. He is tall and has a perfect physique. He is also charming, the reason many women dream of sleeping in his bed.

However, despite how perfect this guy might be, he is not the ideal man for Hailey. He is ruthless and possessive—one thing Hailey doesn't like about him.

Gigi snaps herself. She must stay focused on why she showed up in front of Liam Huo. She smiled at the guy one more time and said, ”Well then, I better go to my table. See you around, Liam.”

She murders Liam and his cousin in her imagination. But in the back of her head, she wants to ask Liam if she could join his table.

Gigi glanced at Liam's date before she takes another step. She recognizes this woman. She has seen her lately on social media.

”By the way, sis… I mean, Miss Chan, why don't you sit with us? I want you to meet Lory Gu.” Liam's invitation, which Gigi thankful in secret.

”Oh… Can I? I don't want to be the third wheel on your date.” Gigi teased Liam, to which the guy chuckled charmingly.

She saw how Lory's eyes spark staring at him but soon was replaced with disappointment after Liam deny his relationship with her.

”Nah. We are just having dinner. She is a friend,” he explained.

”I see…” Gigi nodded, then smiled. This time it was sweeter. Her attention shifted to Lory to greet the girl. ”Hi! Nice to meet you.”

However, Lory remained to stare at her and didn't greet her back. Gigi raised a brow. She could see that Lory is arrogant. She only cast a looked sideways, scanning her from the head down to her red stiletto; her eyes gleamed, staring at her jewelry.

”Ahem.” Liam coughs. Lory glanced in his direction, and panicked flashed in her eyes.

After that, Lory began smiling at her. Not only that, she stretched her hand for a handshake. But this time, Gigi snobs her. She cast a glare at the girl downward.

'Who she thinks she is? What a lowly social climber. Huh. How cheap you are, Liam? You are now like your cousin?'

Gigi didn't accept the girl's hand. She saw how Lory was embarrassed for what she did. The girl scowled; she quickly hid her sharp glares toward her.

Sensing the tension between the two women, Liam sat up and pulled a chair for Gigi. She saw when Lory frowned. She is convinced the girl is into Liam, but the guy is mainly ignoring her.

At that moment, Gigi came up with an idea. She pursed her lips into a sweet smile and said, ”Thank you, Liam.”

And she's correct. The girl doesn't like when she flirts with Liam. Gigi scoffs inwardly, 'She's only a friend. What an assuming girl.'

She called a waiter to give her orders. While talking to the waiter, she could sense how Lory is throwing sharp glares in her directions again. 'What is her problem?'

Sitting at this table feels awkward. But it's the only thing she could do to help Hailey. She needs to find out why Liam was in the country.
