Standing outside the gated community Chang wiped the sweat from her brow that gathered in the humid weather. Standing she threw a rueful look at the guard who had refused to even call up Jian"s residence to say that she awaited at the front gate. The man had even dared to try to push her.Not knowing what else to do, Chang stood outside and waited for him to go in or out. For days she had been through this, but she had not seen him.
Chang had however seen Liang Ju-Long. He had been a frequent visitor over the last few days I his chauffeured vehicle. It had made her burn to see him bringing a woman along to Jian"s house, she could guess as to why he would.
Whenever she saw him she would hide herself behind the nearest tree or her rental car, only furthering the security guard"s suspicions against her. Chang had tried to explain but the man seemed to have cotton between his ears instead of brains.
Standing under the hot sun Chang leaned against her rental car, hoping that today would be the day. Leaning there from the corner of her eye she saw a familiar vehicle, but not the one she was hoping for.
"Of course it would be his father." Skirting around the car, Chang hid herself and watched as the black Mercedes approached the gate.
From her vantage point she watched as the guard gestured at her car in an agitated voice.
"Time to go!" Seeing the driver door of Liang Ju-Long vehicle open up, Chang quickly climbed into her car and started it up. Driving it away only a short distance before parking, she could feel her heart still racing.
"Too close. Dammit!" Pounding a fist against her wheel, Chang rued how hard it was for them to meet now. "I won"t give up. Jian, I"m sorry I made you wait so long, but I"m here now. I"m trying to reach you. Just come out. If you do you will see I am waiting." Afraid to run into Liang Ju-Long Chang continued to wait at her new spot at the first intersecting cross street. Like her previous days this one became fruitless as well.
Despondent Chang drove back to her hotel when darkness took over the light of the day. Sitting on the edge of her bed she rubbed her stiff joints from sitting in a car for hours at a time for several days. Laying down Chang hugged her pillow to sleep, dreaming that it was Jian instead.
For nearly a week she continued her vigil before she was rewarded. The hot stickiness of June had already begun to set in even though it was only the beginning. Sitting in her car with her air-conditioner blasting, Chang spotted a white Porsche leaving from the direction of his villa.
"Could it be?" Before her mind had even fully processed the question, Chang whipped out from her waiting place. Spotting the car racing ahead, she quickly caught up and began to tail it closely.
The white sports car was almost able to lose her a few times within the traffic of the city, but with more than a few reckless maneuvers she was able to relatively keep up.
Seeing it pull up to a valet in front of a restaurant Chang situated herself behind the other. Watching him ascend gracefully from the car Chang felt her thoughts scatter and her palms grow wet in nervousness.
"Jian." Whispering to herself Chang watched as he handed his keys to the young valet, before walking inside. The whole time he had not glanced her way once, although she stared intensely.
Rousing herself Chang got out of her car woodenly, her eyes fixated on the pair of double doors he had disappeared through. Taking a few steps forward she was stopped by vice grips on her upper arms.

Shocked Chang looked to either side to see two men in black holding her firmly with unpleasant expressions.
"Let me go this instance. How dare you manhandle a lady in such a fashion." Raising her chin up Chang glared at the two.
Without a verbal answer the two began to drag her unwillingly to a black car that had silently pulled up behind her own.
Trembling Chang"s eyes widened at the sight of the car. Seeing it lying in wait like a dark predator, Chang tried to dig her wedge heels into the ground for purchase, but the men easily pulled her along.
"No I was just so close to Jian! I should have known Ju-Long would find out, I should have been more careful.."
Opening the door in the back, one of them shoved her in before sitting beside her blocking her in.
Trying to straighten herself in the right s.p.a.ce Chang noticed a pair of inky black eyes trained on her across from her. More wrinkles surrounded them than before, as well as additional lines had been set around his mouth, deepening his permanent scowl. Other than that Liang Ju-Long was exactly as she last remembered.
"Well if it is not Miss Dumont, I should have known. Did you think that I would let interfere with all that I have planned, did you?"
