Liang's birthday.
Finally, the big day arrived. Jinjing had not spoken to Liang as yet. She messaged him couple of times but when she received replies in either one word or no replies at all she stopped messaging, giving him some space.
With the belief that, she would meet him tonight, she was happy.
She busied herself with her preparations for the evening. Being the personal assistant to Mr. Sheng, Papa Lee was obviously invited along with his family. Besides, with the hold the Sheng family had over city B and the importance of today's event, all the high ranking government officials, dignitaries and CEOs of big corporations were going to grace the occasion with their presence.
Jinjing had purchased a royal blue, off shoulder, knee length evening dress. Courtesy Meili, she knew that Laing was going to wear a suit of the same color. She wanted them to match and look like a perfect couple.
Pausing a bit while admiring her dress, she remembered Liang and missed him dearly. She let a sigh and plopped on her bed, lying flat on her back. She really missed him and was dying to talk to him, hug him, kiss him and never let him go.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Yes, it was indeed true. Not having met him for almost two weeks now, she actually had time to gauge her feelings. She realized that she was deeply in love with him. It was not just a temporary thing but it was true and intense. Jinjing felt that, Liang was a part of her and his love was flowing along with blood, through her veins.
She decided to call him up once. She just wanted to hear his voice. She sat up and looked for her phone. Dialing Liang's number, she waited for him to answer.
The phone rang for a very long time. Disappointedly, when she was about to hang up, Liang said "hello!"
"hey…!!! How have you been? Happ…." Jinjing was interrupted by a familiar voice in the background.
"brother Liang…. Ohh!!! You are here? We have to go or else we will be late." She was upset with the fact that Jiaying could be with him but not her.
She was going to say something but Liang suddenly said "I am busy will talk to you later." And hung up before letting her respond. Jinjing's already sad mood, turned even more sour.
She was very upset and she had made up her mind that she was not going to forgive him easily for his behavior. Even though he was busy, he could have at least given her five minutes to talk.
Never the less, she started to dress up as they had to leave in a couple of hours for the party. She would deal with him face to face now.
