Giving her a cold glare, Deming walked pa.s.sed her and reached the bar section of the banquet. The bartender offered him a drink and he took it without any hesitation. Usually he never attends any public gatherings to avoid the evil conspiracies planned against him. He would not have drank there anything as it may have something against him.
But this time maybe it was the result of his irritation. Lifen"s provocation has highly agitated him. He tilted his head to look back at her, but he was irked again as she was smiling and chatting with some of the ladies in the party.
He mumbled to himself, "I will show her, how the girls gets entranced just by my one mere look". He removed his gaze from Lifen and turned to look at the girls present in the banquet.
He knew that in this mere banquet, all the top socialites of the country is present. Some were praised to be extremely beautiful yet no one was able to catch Deming"s attention.
When Lifen found that Deming has not returned yet, she thought to herself, "Why is he being so petty? She was just teasing him. Do he really underestimated himself just because she said so?"
Though she always bluntly said that that he is not handsome enough to captivate her heart , but deep down in her heart she knows very clearly that Deming was someone, she can"t afford by her side. He is the most handsome among all the men she have seen till date.
She does not want to give him a soft spot in her heart but he had already s.n.a.t.c.hed it away from her. She doesn"t want to admit it but his presence now affects her and gives a sense of security.
After searching in the midst of the crowd for few long minutes she spotted him. Her lips curled up and she started walking towards him. But when she got close, she noticed that he was chatting with a lady. She was elegantly dressed and her dress was a little provocative. The dress was having a boat-neck which was a little deep and was revealing a part of her cleavage area.
The smile on Lifen"s lips halted for a moment. She took a few steps and reached beside Deming. To her surprise, he ignored her and continued talking the lady as she was the most interesting and amusing in the world.
Deming continued talking to her in a flirtatious way and ignoring Lifen.
Lifen was unable to hold anymore and was about to say something to him. One can sense the jealousy in her eyes. On the other side, the lady was praising herself very highly thinking that Deming was talking with her so comfortably and is interested in her. She can feel the envious gazes around her.
When she saw that Lifen was going to interrupt their conversation, she took the initiative, looked at Lifen in disgust way and said in a soft voice, "Mr.w.a.n.g, I think your partner of today"s banquet wanted to ask you something".
Deming has already sensed the uncomfortable look in Lifen"s eyes from the time she has seen him with this lady and that single look had already melted away his anger long ago. But now he also wants to tease her. He slightly tilted his head to look at her.
She was about to say something but before she could say anything, he said "It"s okay, we will talk later", he then again moved his gaze to the lady in front of him and continued, "But first let"s have a dance together".
The lady was on her cloud nine when she heard that the great CEO of w.a.n.g Corporations, the tyc.o.o.n of the country was interested to dance with her. Her eyes glistened and she gave a look to Lifen, trying to make her aware that she was no one special to the man beside her.
That look irked Lifen hard, she glared at Deming wanting to smash him into pieces but it was of no use. He chuckled inside and then forwarded his hand to take the lady"s hand into his.
"You...", Lifen snorted and gritted her teeth.
But Deming has already reached the dance floor with the lady holding her hands. He loved to tease Lifen and was very satisfied with the jealousy in her eyes.
Everyone in the banquet were amused when they looked that Deming arriving at the stage with a lady which was not the same from before. Many of them were regretting that they missed a chance to get close with him just by merely thinking that the girl from before was his girlfriend.
Soft song played the background and they started to dance softly. While dancing, Deming was intentionally smiling and getting close to the lady. Looking at them, Lifen was gritting her teeth.
But after giving some thought, Lifen got back to her composure, the calmness returned in her eyes and her lips curled up. She thought why is she reacting this way? It"s obvious that Deming can dance with anyone and she has no right to stop him. She picked a gla.s.s of raspberry juice from the waiter"s tray and sipped a little of it nonchalantly.
When Deming looked at the change in her composure, he was confused. He then again intentionally got closed to the lady and whispered something in her ears but there was no change in Lifen"s expression.
At that moment, a handsome tall guy came to Lifen and greeted her calmly. She turned to look at him. Deming saw them chatting for few moments but as the time was pa.s.sing, they were becoming more comfortable with each other.
The lady dancing with him, followed his gaze and noticed that he was looking at Lifen. The expression of his face was changing, the warmth in the air around him was getting replaced with the coldness. He was gritting his teeth so hard that if continued any more then it might break.
"Is there any problem, Mr.w.a.n.g",the lady asked softly.
But in return she got a cold glare which was forbidding her to talk any further. He retreated his hands with was holding her waist and said coldly, "That"s it. You can go now".
The lady was confused. What does he mean? She wanted to ask but didn"t dare to spell any word further.
