"Don't go. Please. I beg you not to open it." Luna seized his arm, and her eyes kept on shedding uncontrollable tears. She knew what would happen once Jasper and Aiko found her. The dignity left in her and her reputation would be ruined.
Hero stared at her face, wondering why he'd let himself get affected by this woman's emotions. He couldn't comprehend this woman at all.
Couldn't she recognize his identity by now? Couldn't she tell that he was her boss, and no one would dare to offend her when he's around?
He left her in the bathroom and went back to the bedroom to look around. His eyes landed on the pile of clothes at the end of his bed, which was probably hers, considering that he never wore such colors to begin with.
Who else would wear a bright pink dress and a white coat except her?
Another knock was heard on his door, taking his attention away from the clothes in his hand. Whoever waiting for him to open it surely wanted to humiliate Luna. Sauntering back to where he left his woman, he left her clothes at the counter as he heard the shower on.
Meanwhile …
"Stop it, Aiko. It's enough. It's impossible to find Luna here," Jasper Mo said behind Aiko who was waiting patiently in front of the door.
"We wouldn't know until we can assure that she isn't here," Aiko insisted.
She was about to knock again when the door abruptly open. Aiko had a bewildered expression on her face as the owner of the room stood in front of her. She had forgotten all the words she'd memorize earlier to humiliate Luna once the door opened.
He stood in front of her with only a loose robe covering his body.
"What's the meaning of this?"
The harsh tone and coldness of Hero Li's voice sent shivers down her spine. She felt like she'd stepped on a forbidden place. Aiko started to wonder if Luna had encountered the same coldness when she was subjected to this domineering and scary man.
His taller height dwarfed her. She could sense the irritation in his demeanor and wished she never offended him.
The hotel staff that accompanied Aiko and Jasper cleared his throat and tried not to stutter to explain.
"Mr. Li, we're sorry for disturbing you."
Jasper, who was silently staring at the man who only got a robe to cover himself, tilted his head in one side. He was sure he'd seen this man before.
"This Miss here is looking for her friend, Miss Jiang ..."
"And you all think you will see her here?" Hero cut him off. "Pathetic."
His words were enough to make Aiko embarrassed. This wasn't what she'd expected to happen. She shouldn't be the one getting humiliated here. Where was Luna? She was supposed to be here?
Aiko Chen and Jasper Mo might come from wealthy families, but even Jasper had little opportunities to meet the president of Li Group of Companies since he had yet to prove himself capable of joining their family's business. Therefore, they had no idea they were talking to Hero Li himself.
Hero looked gloomy as he looked down at the woman who dared to humiliate Luna. Women could be dangerous and poisonous. A man who couldn't differentiate a good woman from a bad one could easily be manipulated. And at this moment, he wasn't happy with this conniving bitch.
The hotel staff trembled at Hero's words. The moment the door opened, he knew he was in big trouble. Curse this woman for forcing him to offend one of their VIP patrons. One of his subordinates came running to him and whispered something to his ears, which instantly wiped the color off of his face.
"Miss Chen … Miss Jiang was seen taking a cab last night. She was assisted by one of our valets."
"What?!" Aiko exclaimed. Luna was able to see through her plans and escaped?
