80 Rock (1/2)
Miss A gently grasp Fei's left arm as she tries to calm her. ”It must have been knocked down accidentally. Come on, I will help you clean up in the ladies room.”
”It's just water, it won't stain.” Neo said with an indifferent tone of voice. Wow, what a very interesting way of saying 'Im sorry'.
Miss A looked troubled because she don't know if she should reprimand Neo or not. Fei on the other hand is glaring angrily at Neo. Some of the waiters came to our table to clean the mess and to know if Fei is alright. Juaqin offered his coat to Fei. He draped his expensive coat over her shoulder and he also gave her his handkerchief. What a gentleman, I told myself as I saw how attentive Juaqin is towards Fei.
I was watching them quietly as I finish the chocolate cake on my plate. Time flew by so fast that I didn't even noticed that we are already eating our desert.
I was taken aback when Fei suddenly glared at me for a moment then back to Neo. Her glare became a frown then the frown turned into a knowing look, and for some unknown reason she is now smiling mischievously. I raised a brow at her.
A crease formed on Miss A's smooth forehead as she looks at her cousins sudden change of mood. ”Fei, are you okay? We can--” Miss A asked, concern evident in her clear gentle voice.
”No, I'm fine. Go back to your seat.” Fei said to Miss A without even looking at her direction.
”But-” Miss A said with a puzzled look. Fei did not give any attention to her so she dejectedly went back to her seat like a pitiful little puppy abandoned by her owner.
Fei bowed to the other guests and apologized for disturbing their peaceful dinner. Fei thanked Juaqin and the waiter before she sat back to her seat.
”Elrae, are you one of this brat's flings?” Fei said to me without any warning.
My brow raised again at her forthrightness. I looked at Neo who is acting like a rock on the side of the road. Wow, he really has no plan on helping me. Fling??!! I don't even want to be in a same room with this devil and now you are asking me if I am his fling?! I really wanna yell this out loud but I have to do otherwise.
”Fei, that should not be--” Juaqin wanted to reprimand Fei but I did not let him finish.
”No.” I said, completely insouciance to the matter at hand.
”I see. So you think he is serious about you?” she said, without even hiding her interest.
”No.” I answered her back as if the topic doesn't concern me at all.
Fei lightly laughed, she then turned her attention to the nonchalant iceberg sitting across her.
