When Deming and Jie arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, the manager hurried his way towards them, "President w.a.n.g, pleasure to have you here today. I hope that the restaurant can make your dinner date with your beautiful lady memorable", a smile stuck to his healthy fat chubby face as he glanced at the lady beside him.
Deming has asked Murphy to arrange the restaurant for them. He didn"t mention the exact reason for taking Jie out for the dinner, so Murphy a.s.sumed it as their dinner date, as he knew that Deming had always loved the little girl which was none other than Ms.Long .
Deming"s eyes were still searching someone in the restaurant, while Jie has hooked her hands on his arms. He nodded his head to acknowledge the manger"s words in an insignificant manner and let him lead the way.
"President w.a.n.g, as ordered by you we have arranged a private room for you. This way please...", the manager led him inside the private room which was the bestest private room of restaurant. Today it was especially designed for the great young CEO romantic dinner date.
The manager then again glanced at the lady standing beside the well known young business devil of the country. She looked very beautiful and mesmerizing to look. Though her looks didn"t match to that of Deming but there was no doubt that she was beautiful. He smiled at her politely
Jie was so satisfied with the decoration of the room and the respect in the eyes of the manager as if he was looking at their future lady boss.
Entering the room and looking at the preparations, Deming was sure that his words were surely being misinterpreted but he didn"t mind clarifying to the insignificant people. And Jie"s smiling face, he was sure it made her happy so he didn"t interrupt her happiness.
The manager excused himself and left the room. Deming and Jie went to grab their seats opposite to each other, "Brother Ming, I really love the preparation. It seems so romantic, especially this freshly bloomed roses. Soon there was a knock on the door and in came a waiter to take their orders.
Deming stood up and said gently, "Jie, order the dishes you want and something light for me. I will just go and make a call". He didn"t waited for her response and walked out of the room.
Jie, too didn"t mind his action and continued with ordering the food.
Outside Deming went to search Lifen again, he just wanted to explain that it was not exactly what she has misunderstood earlier.
On the other side, Life was sitting with her friends and enjoying a small dinner in peace. They haven"t booked any private room, rather it was just a big table that can accommodate their group. It has been really long since she last visited with them. But there was someone missing in the group.
One of them in group asked, "Hey, why Chang isn"t here today? Did anyone informed him or not? "
Others looked at each other and shook their head. "Okay, I will call him now. It"s not too late and his apartment is also nearby", with that he took is phone and dialed Chang"s number.
Lifen didn"t say anything, even her face didn"t had any line of discomfort. Her heart knew very well that Chang wasn"t someone who would hurt her intentionally. It was just that that day, he was not in the right state of mind and why to wreck their long friends.h.i.+p because of the thing which didn"t happen. His one wrong action can"t ruin all his good actions towards her. She decided to talk well with him and let his heart be clear this time.
When the call connected and the group asked him to come, Chang refused immediately but then Lifen took the call and asked him to come to accompany everyone. He was first taken aback that she was still asking him so politely and friendly without any silver line of discomfort and anger in her words.
He thought for a moment then agreed to meet them in few minutes. He has to properly apologize Lifen for his improper actions.
Once the call was disconnected, everyone again resumed to talk. Lifen didn"t say much and was simply sipping her fruit juice slowly, unaware that someone was watching her from behind.
At that moment, her phone beeped with a text message. She unhurriedly read the message and didn"t bother to reply back. Again resumed to sip down her fruit juice.
"Lifen, why are you looking like you are all bored. You are not even trying to join in our conversation. Don"t behave like this. Be a little jovial with us", she said these words in enough audible voice then leaned slightly to murmur the next words in her ears ," And I have especially arranged this gathering for you, almost spending all my pocket. Please don"t waste it. Guang will be here soon. Don"t make her scold me, Pleaseeeee".
Lifen smiled lightly and joined in their conversations. She thought to herself, "Yes, why to waste the efforts of her friends because of few insignificant people. She can"t let her mood swayed because of some people insignificant actions, which doesn"t even concern her after all they are in relations.h.i.+p that too a deep love relations.h.i.+p ".
Deming returned back to room. He was not in a good mood before too and now his mood his worsened more. Previously he had sent a message to Lifen stating that he wanted to meet her and will be waiting for her but when he saw that she just read the message and didn"t replied back, his mood worsened more.
But he will not miss the chance to confront her today. He wanted to know why she was behaving like this with him. And then he too wanted to explain himself to her. So he had asked one of the waiter to keep an eye on her and the moment she get up to go anywhere alone without anyone accompanying her, just inform him.
He sat on his seat and looked at Jie who was staring at him. She said softly maintaining her elegance, "Brother Ming, hurry up or the food might get cold".
He didn"t drag his real intentions of bringing her out any longer and directly asked her, "I will ask you clearly and I really want to hear the truth, nothing else. What made you become a drug addict and that too of such a rare drug?"
Jie coughed hard. She didn"t expect this coming. How did he know about this? And how much did he know?
