Chapter 52 - Shi Luo, Lets Talk (2/2)
Holding the front of her gown in one hand while her clutch and phone in the other, she quickly walked towards that place.
Standing beside them, she curiously glanced at Jun Zixuan but his back was facing towards her.
Disappointed, she pursed her lips and looked around the place trying to spot Yu Mei.
”Shi Luo…?”
Jun Zixuan called out while looking at the woman's side profile.
Shi Luo turned around to look at him, her large almond-shaped eyes widening a little in the process. She did not expect him to notice her in this crowd.
”Chief, she is…?” One of the men surrounding Jun Zixuan asked him while looking at Shi Luo with a doubtful gaze.
Jun Zixuan did not reply causing the people to think that he got the wrong person.
The middle-aged man whom Yu Mei had earlier recognized as the President of the neighboring country of Amaranthine spoke up, ”Chief, here is a toast to our possible future cooperation.” Saying that, he emptied the contents in his glass.
Jun Zixuan didn't bother to look at him nor did he take a sip of the from his wine glance. With one of his hands tucked inside his pockets, the other was holding the wine glass, occasionally swirling the scarlet liquid inside.
His glass was still full from the very beginning. Despite everyone offering him toasts, he didn't take a sip of the wine.
It was a sign of utter disrespect and all the giants standing over there might have felt offended if it would have been any other person instead of him.
”You can leave,” Jun Zixuan said, not bothering to look at any of them.
”Chief…”
He tilted his head, narrowing his eyes, ”Leave,” A voice as tranquil as a lake yet nobody opposed the man.
They politely nodded at him before walking away, leaving Jun Zixuan and Shi Luo alone.
”Hey there, long time no see,” She walked towards him.
Jun Zixuan nodded, ”Let's talk somewhere else.”
Shi Luo looked around to find Yu Mei but she was nowhere to be seen.
She was sure that the woman would curse her later when she could not find her in the ballroom. Anyway, looking at Jun Zixuan's solemn face, she could not bring herself to reject him.
