16 The ball nigh (2/2)

She nodded and the head towards the corner of the ball room. Beside LAN, Simon and Becky was dumbfounded. They looked at each other blankly. Both knew who she just hugged.

In the corner

”You're looking extremely beautiful.”

She blushed ”thank you.” She paused and looked at his tie and said ”I liked that tie.”

”You liked it? Not me?” he was looking miserably at her

She giggled ”I didn't say that.”

He smiled handsomely ”Oh so that means you liked me too.” – He asked playfully

”I didn't say that either” – She winked at him

He pouted ”CRUEL, TYRANT”

She laughed whole heartedly. Soon the music in the background changed and now it was playing a romantic melody the couples headed to the stage and started couple dance with the slow rhythm.

Mu Liang bowed and extend his hand to her ”My lady would you like to dance with this handsome man.”- He asked teasingly

”Mmm let me think, actually I'm not that cruel to reject a handsome man like you.” she placed her hand on his. And they headed to the center of the stage.

Soon they lost in each other eyes with the rhythm of music. They were dancing elegantly. The men in the room was unhappy and jealous of mu Liang while the single women were looking jealously at LAN.

But they was so lost in each other to observe their surroundings.

The media were clicking picture of them but no one dared to go near them. When the dance was over they went to garden for some fresh air. Where mu Liang's phone rung. He starred at his phone irritated.

LAN giggled and told him to pick up the phone. He went to the other corner of garden to answer the phone while she was enjoying the sweet cold breeze.

Emma was one of his rumored girlfriend and A - leister model in SARTEE. She was burning with rage and jealousy. She never thought she will lose from a mere assistant manager.

She was planning something to ruin her night and suddenly a waiter passed in front of her. She got an idea. She went to the waiter and bribed him. She told him to give a glass more than usual of marsala to the girl in red.

He obeyed and head to her.

'Let's see after drinking the strongest wine how he will tolerate your shameless fuss.' Emma thought

The waiter handed her the glass. She was staring at mu Liang's perfect body her desires were getting out of control. To maintain her composure she drank the glass in on go and coughed.

”What type of wine is this? Cough*”
