Sara was uncomfortable with the attention she was receiving. Especially with people wanting to know who she was and what family name she bore. Dexi helped her avoid answering those questions but she knew she couldn"t continue that way for long. She was lost in thought and came back to her senses when she heard Dexi say "Look who is here"
Sara followed his gaze and got the scare of her life. She s.h.i.+vered. It didn"t escape anyone who saw her. She looked like someone who had been caught cheating. Even her legs almost gave way.
Muchen had not been concerned about Dexi"s date. He had never been. But there was something about her that had caught his attention a d made him look at her intently.. "Sara?" He tried not to look too surprised and shaken as they were a lot of people present there.
Dexi smiled at him and then looked at Sara. Whose head was down and face flushed. Her free hand which wasn"t holding her clutch, gripped the side of her gown.
Muchen didn"t know what he felt at the moment. His hands were fisted by his side. He ran his eyes over her again. He wondered the kind of trick Dexi had pulled to bring Sara here. But what was worse was the fact that she looked this pretty beside another man. Her collar was even exposed.
He took a step, and another. Before he was intercepted by a lady. "Brother Muchen. I didn"t know you were coming"
"Brother Muchen?" Sara lifted her head to look at the lady that was talking with him. She was pretty and wore a red evening gown that accentuated her perfect curves. Muchen smiled at her and said something that made her laugh lightly. Sara"s hand grabbed the side of her gown tightly as she glared at the both of them. "Who is she?"
Dexi knew he was sad. The first time she was actually willing to speak with him, she was asking him about a woman she was obviously jealous of. "She is Hui qingqing. Heiress of Hui automobile. She should be one of CEO Li"s Ex-girlfriend" He tried to sound nonchalant.
Sara freed her down and dug her nail into her palm. "Heiress. Ex-girlfriend" She ran her eyes over her again and the entire place. Everyone there were either Heirs or heiresses or CEO"s themselves. She shook her head to stop her thoughts from drifting further.
"Let me introduce you." Dexi spoke as Muchen walked to where they were standing. Sara didn"t know when he left Qingqing.
"CEO Li. I had no idea you were going to show up. Thank you for coming" Dexi said pleasantly.
Muchen gave an insincere smile in return. "Is that so?" He then looked at Sara whose eyes were looking anywhere but him.
"CEO Li. This is w.a.n.g Sara. Sara, CEO Li." He introduced.
The insincere smile didn"t leave his face when he spoke. "The Mo"s are never good actors. Why are you not looking at me Sara?"
She startled when he called her name. She thought he was going to pretend to not know her. She raised her head to look at him. She wasn"t all that happy with him anyway but she still felt guilty. "Mr....Mr Li... I..." She didn"t know what else to say and just stopped there.
Dexi was surprised to see Muchen openly admitting that he knew Sara. This was not nice for him. Another thing that surprised him was Sara acting all meek.
Most people were interested in the scene. They wondered who this young lady was that knew both men personally. People became curious. Some felt she looked familiar but couldn"t place it. Jinyong and Weiyoung who were by the side could feel their blood boiling. "After making me become like this, you are having fun with two men?" Weiyoung eyed Sara angrily. The one who left worse was Jinyong. He had never seen Sara like that before. No doubt she was the prettiest lady there. He watched her as she spoke with both men. He felt conflicted within him. "What was Sara up to?" He only hoped she wasn"t dating his uncle or even Muchen. He didn"t like any option.
Sara looked at Muchen"s back as he walked away with his secretary tailing behind him. She pulled Dexi to the side. When she was sure there was no one around there, she spoke. "Are you crazy? You told me about other families. Why didn"t you also tell me that Mr Li was coming?"
"Why? You would not have agreed to come with me then?" His eyes no longer had it"s usual glow.
"You knew we knew each other right?" She eyed him suspiciously.
He didn"t answer. But he was not smiling this time.
Sara understood the answer in his silence. "Maintain your lane. If you keep going about digging infos about me, I won"t let you off" She left him standing there.
Dexi sighed. This night wasn"t as he had planned. Everything was really going the opposite direction.
