After what had felt like endless business meetings Liang Jian Amal was exhausted and wanted to nothing more than to close his eyes for a few moments. He hadn"t had a wink of sleep in over 36 hours, from flying to finding and chasing after that infuriating woman , last night"s interaction, plus this morning"s dealings before work. He had opened the branch in America merely for the purpose of helping extend his net that he had cast looking for Chang.The time that she had been gone, the international conglomerate he managed had boomed and started building based of operation all over the world. Jiang International had exploded over the last year taking the medicinal R+D world by a storm. While they also ran several other small business and worked in the science and technology industry, medicine had been their background roots from which the company was built up.
As soon as the meetings were over, Liang Jian Amal"s a.s.sistant came up to him. While his boss had been in the meetings with the heads of the different sectors, he had taken a nap in the break room, as such had pep back in his step again.
"Mr. Liang business has concluded for the day , would you like me to take you back to your new apartment, or the estate you purchased a few months ago, or perhaps somewhere else?"
With his right hand pinching the bridge of his nose, trying to push back a rising headache, he lifted his left hand to stop his a.s.sistant from droning on. A spark lit up in his eye though at the thought of the apartment, or more specifically Chang, so he told his a.s.sistant to take him to La Vie En Rose.
Liang Jian Amal arrived at La Vie En Rose at around 8:30 due to the heavy traffic through the city. He entered the nightclub and immediately the pounding music made his head start to pound even harder.
In the year that Dong Cheng had been a.s.sisting Liang Jian Amal, he had seen the man run himself ragged regularly, but he had never looked as haggard as he did today. He dared not voice that though. Liang Jian Amal motioned for his a.s.sistant to order for them, reclining back against the plush booth trying to manage the pain drilling into his temples.
Pretty soon a short pretty Caucasian girl with pixie cut blonde hair came up, she wore a dazzling smile on her made-up face.
"How can I help you gentlemen tonight?"
Dong Cheng proceeded to give her a food order, and when she prompted for drinks he peeked over at his boss who wore a pained expression, "water please, oh would you happen to have anything for pain relief?"
She immediately fished into her ap.r.o.n and fished out a couple of sealed liquid capsules. "There you go boys, I"ll be back with the rest momentarily," she gave them a wink and sauntered off.
From the corner of his eye he saw Chang in a black tank top and shorts, holding a tray laden with colorful drinks. He frowned at seeing her so exposed to so many eyes again. The waitress that had just helped them brushed past Chang on the way to the kitchen, her hands brushed up against Chang"s waist as she pa.s.sed, further irking him.
As soon as she came back with water, Liang Jian Amal popped the pills, hoping to ease the headache which he felt was making his temper harder to control. Though again he watched the pet.i.te blonde waitress rub against Chang on several occasions, or letting her hands linger on Chang"s body too long in indecent places; he saw that Chang seemed to be uncomfortable with this. He ground his teeth in frustration at this.
When the waitress came back he immediately grabbed her arm, seething. He hissed through his teeth, "Touch her again if you dare." His tone and body language warned him absolutely not to be crossed.
Brandy immediately paled under the big man"s threatening aura. Tears immediately appeared in her big green eyes, she had no idea who he meant, but nodded her head eagerly. She was just desperate to get his painful grip off her arm.
He immediately release her and stood up, he grabbed a wad of cash, threw it on the table, and stalked out. His a.s.sistant mumbled his apologies at her hurt confused expression, he himself had not seen what had occurred earlier; and hurried after him.
