The event was about to end, so i pick up my bag and walk upstairs to retouch my make up. i don't really like make up but sometimes you can't just wave it off.
The upstairs are already empty, clearly guests are already taking their time downstairs to redo their make up and went back home. actually they have a restroom downstairs but i don't like to mingle with those socialite whom even their make up redoing could not stop them from bragging.
I reapplied my lipstick and lightly redo my blush on then comb my hair slowly, taking my time before walking back. Not far away, i saw a slight open door of a room whom i didn't notice when i walked here since it was in the other side of the second floor.
I don't know why but my feet brought me there, im not really a nosy person but there's something urging me to looked through the door. Something urging her that can't be explained, probably because of her watching to much horror movies? spy movies and detective action movie.
walking up, i slowly scan the place. Its was completely dark because the light is off so i squinted my eyes and looked thoroughly. in a far corner near the bed, there was someone sitting there, a brightly lighted screen laptop makes the person's surrounding light up a little.
The guy was seated in a wheelchair, his hair is a bit messy. He wore a while long sleeve, sleeves rolled neatly. Even though he looks like he haven't been in the sun for a long time, unexplainable aura around him like a royalty just being lazy and just got up from a sleep makes him looked a bit gentle.
He continues to shift something in the laptop, busy at something as he didn't notice that someone came in.
Melody looked at the mans back, and for some reason she felt that he looked familiar. She felt like she knew him, like she had seen him somewhere. Melody sent to a daze, forcing herself to remember the man whom looked familiar. Unbeknownst to her, he had finally notice her presence and became angry. feeling that the girl behind is here to dig a scoop, entering his room like a thief.
"Who aloud you to enter?" he growled, forcing his temper back. The thought of someone taking advantage of his damage life makes him erupted, paparazzi are the least, he wanted to encounter.
on the side, melody was so startled she shriek and jump out in his voice. She was in daze that she forget, she was in an appropriate place. like a thief being caught, melody because nervous.
Even if the man is seated in a wheelchair, there's this domineering aura around that says 'think about running and your dead' and so melody stays rooted in place.
2 minutes later and i haven't answered him. so that man must had run of patience, he tap at something on his wheelchair and the whole lighted up. I closed my eyes at the sudden brightens, and took sometime to adjust. Calculating the pros and cons i had to admit i can only tell my reason. looking up to the man to explained, I got shocked, and nearly choked. The handsome man with a lazy and domineering attitude infront of me. seating in his wheelchair, while glaring at me was the guy....
The guy i had been, looking for. The face, build, the presence, everything! is the same beside his eyes that always shines like a gem before are now blank as abys. He was like a breathing human without a soul, Brother Yi just what happened to you?
~~~``~~`•
I didn't know what happened next untill, i realize that that Lu guy are already dragging me out the mansion. fidgeting nonstop as he Look back at the mansion from time to time
Lu guy, stuff me inside the taxi and directly told the driver to send me at my address. Then he looked at and shake his head "Girl, your still dazing here? have you gone dumb just looking at brother yi?"
i didn't asked him, how he knew my address but instead asked about brother yi. "Wha-what happened to him? i mean why does brother Yi seating in a wheelchair? did he get in an accident?!"
"woah? brother yi? you know him?" he was taken aback at this girls questions. It seems like she knew him personally as she called him up intimately. well everyone call him by his whole name but seldom will call him Yi, or brother yi, other than his relatives and closed friend. Then remembering Brother Yi, told him that the girl looked familiar his eyes lit up. are they childhood sweetheart? she must have known him way, way before i met with brother yi? otherwise, how come the bestfriend, me, Lu jian never met her before.
Thinking of a possibility, a drama like love story began to emerge in his playful mind. starring my bestfriend and this future sister in-law "well, you should asked him yourself. i can't just expose the Li family matters" he slowly said, keeping tabs at the girls reaction. "beside, you should've been notified by chairman himself if he finds you perfect for his grandson. after all the Gala is for him to search for a perfect candidate for his grandson to marry."
Melody, sat dumbfounded inside the taxi. thoroughly absorbing the information about Brother Yi, if she may recall the Gala was as purpose of finding a candidate? why does knowing this makes her heart hurt? it makes her anxious for some reason. for some reason she felt annoyed about him marrying to someone. why is that?
