16 Gala 3 (1/2)

It has been over an hour since Fan MeiLi arrived at the gala, and she somehow lost Zhang Jing among the crowd. Deciding to take a break, she steps out of the ballroom and walked around the halls looking at the pictures that donned the walls. Coming to a corner she stopped when she heard voices, she leaned against the wall and listened to the conversation.

”I need to try again when I give you the signal don't mess up.” A female said with a voice that sounded familiar to Fan MeiLi.

”Yes, miss.”

”Remember, if everything goes well you'll never have to worry about money again.” The female said with joy.

Fan MeiLi sensing that the conversation was coming to an end she was about to walk away when she got surprised by a hand covering her mouth. Looking up she saw a handsome man with cold eyes looking down at her before she could say anything she was pulled into a side room. When he closed the door she pulled his hand off her and pushed him away.

Giving him a glare, ”Who are you? Why did you pull me in here?” She yelled.

The cold man smiled that put shivers down Fan MeiLi's spine, he then walked over to the in-room sofa and sat down. Fan MeiLi feeling annoyed about being ignored she gave him a glare and headed for the door.

”Forget the reason! I hope we never see each other again!” She yelled grabbing the door.

Before she could open the door a voice full of ice filled the room, ”Leaving now would be a grand mistake, little tiger.”

”What do you mean?” Fan MeiLi asked turning around.

”I just happen to hear a plan against me and when I went to confront the other party I find you there, imagine my surprise.” He said looking at her with a hard stare.

Fan MeiLi was shocked, she looked at the guy in confusion, it couldn't be that he thought that she was involved in some plot. ”Listen, I was just getting away from the huge crowd in the gala and just happen to hear some people talking.”

”Maybe and maybe not.” He said leaning back on the sofa.
