Weiyoung still could not accept the fact that she had lost to Sara. Like, why would someone like her ever lose to someone like Sara?
Weiyoung found it difficult to believe such. She had always feared Sara somehow so she had always been cautious. She had seen what Sara was capable of doing even at a young age. Exposing it to the world was her last card but it would get her into trouble. Getting into trouble at this time, was the last thing she needed.
Her hands shook uncontrollably that she even found it difficult to lift it up. Joanna had left her all alone. That ungrateful wench!
Weiyoung"s mother had called the hospital"s phone to let her know their company was in shambles and when she tried leaving the hospital to go hide somewhere, she b.u.mped into many reporters just outside her door. She had never been so frightened her entire life. So frightened that she didn"t hear any question they threw at her. She just stared at them like a Deer caught in the headlight. Fortunately for her, her parents had sent her two bodyguards who quickly whisked her back into the room and locked her in.
Now, she was stuck here because of that witch.
She had lost everything, everything! "SARA w.a.n.g!!" she screamed in anger and frustration.
After trying to stabilize her breath, she cradled her tummy. Yes, she still had this. So, she was still affiliated with the Mos. She would find her way back soon. She nodded rigorously and laughed like a maniac that she was.
"Yes, no matter what, I will never go down!"
Sara could not stop stealing glances at Muchen. "How can such a perfect man like me?" She wondered. She still couldn"t stomach the fact that Jinyong had called him a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. "Ah! Mo Jinyong.. you"ve not seen anything yet. Even if you find your feet, I"ll bring you down again. Next time, you"ll mind your language" She was going to do the same to anyone who used the wrong word on any of her people. Wait, did she just say her people? She racked her brain in confusion. What was she doing now? Mr Li was Mr Li! When did she ever stop seeing him that way? She took another long look at him.
Then, she realised he was stopping the car. In confusion, she looked round and noted they were in the middle of nowhere.
"What is wrong?" She asked when he pulled over.
He turned to look at her and smiled. "I"m giving you the limited opportunity of looking at me" He inched his face closer to hers. The only thing stopping him from b.u.mping his head to hers was his seatbelt.
Sara blinked, he couldn"t tell if it was in confusion or embarra.s.sment. As he expected, she turned to look out the window, probably hiding her blus.h.i.+ng face from him. He also saw her swallow hard.
"Come on, I know you want to look" He teased with a mocking laugh.
Sara inhaled and exhaled twice before she turned to face him. "Mr Li, it"s not safe to park here" Sara diverted from the topic.
Muchen looked at her attentively. He couldn"t remember how he had been living his life before he met Sara. He had been surprised, in fact, shocked when he saw her video. She had acted so well that he had totally forgotten she was somehow not being truthful. He had never liked deceitful people but for some reasons, Sara"s video had excited him. He was happy to know she was able to defend herself perfectly. He had even uploaded that video and also dug up the old video that had been taken down. He was never going to allow anyone bully Sara. Instead, she should do the bullying and he was going to support her because Sara w.a.n.g was always right!
Maybe others who didn"t know her well might judge her but, he had seen her strong and weak side. He knew she was like every other woman who wanted to be loved genuinely. And he, had a whole lot of genuine love to offer her, if only she would free herself and let him love her.
"Mr Li..." Sara called for the umpteenth time. He seemed to not be paying attention to her at all. "This place is not safe, we should leave here"
She looked around again. It was dark and isolated. The only light s.h.i.+ning was his car"s florescent headlights.
He finally came back to his senses and gently pat her head and said softly "I am not afraid... you are here with me"
He was sure Sara was going to beat up anyone who came close to them. But that wouldn"t happen since his people always followed him and monitored his surrounding.
Sara said nothing and just stared blankly at him. She didn"t even know what to think about right now
"Sara w.a.n.g..." He called her in a low voice.
Sara gave him the "go ahead" look.
The next words he spoke startled her.
"I like you Sara. I like you a lot"
Sara stilled. As much as she had prayed he never said those words to her, she had also wanted to hear it. "He likes me. This perfect man likes the imperfect me"
"I know you"re probably finding it difficult to like me back but I can wait." He paused for a while to notice she was still still.
"I am so comfortable around you and for the first time, I feel emotionally healthy"
"Mr Li... I..." Sara tried to say something, anything at all. But nothing was coming out.
"I know you"ll like me too. I"m just telling you to be fast about it." He smoothened her hair and asked "You can do that right?"
Sara"s heart raced. Why was Mr Li doing this to her?? As much as she wanted to say no, she couldn"t say so.
He noticed her hesitation and didn"t bother pus.h.i.+ng on. "Sara w.a.n.g..." He still didn"t know why he liked calling her by her full name.
Sara wondered what else he was going to say. Her mind was in a turmoil already. "Mr Li.."
"I... want to kiss you" He said huskily.
