Chapter 14 - (Chapter 14) Just Who Is He? 9

Zou blushed. "Master Zhou flatters me." She said bashfully as she slightly lowered her head.

Mou's face stayed blank but his eyes were turning a dangerous color, as the 2 women beside him kept creeping closer...

*Cough* "Rin Cher and Carol Tyu. Don't you know that Master Mou isn't a fan of people trying to touch him?" Nio gave a 'friendly' hint, with his eyes throwing daggers.

Both of their expressions dropped as they went further away. Rin went closer to Stella, while Carol went closer to Chris.

"Rin Cher? Aren't you a popular actress?" Stella asked with her eyes shining.

Rin nodded her head. "I'm nothing special. Carol is a better actress than me, but she decided to professionally dance instead." Rin couldn't take the pressure of a handsome man talking to her and moved the conversation.

"Dancing? You must work hard, I can see that you have the grace of a swan so it makes sense." Stella said with a wide smile.

*Thump* *Thump* 'Fuck! This man is just too good looking! What's up with him flirting with every woman? Is he free?' Zou, Rin and Carol all thought at the same time.

Eun watched with disguised mirth in his eyes. It seems that Stella was adept at playing games with these socialites...

"I-It isn't that difficult. When you get used to it the process is natural." Carol said with a stutter and blush.

Stella's eyes gleamed with laziness as she leaned back. "Don't put yourself down like that. I remember it took me years to learn how to do a simple dance. My mother wasn't too impressed when I was stepping on the toes of my instructor." Stella said with a chuckle.

Carol blushed, women didn't always enjoy being praised for looks or their personality. Some enjoyed getting recognition for their hard work. "Your mother sounds like a good woman." She simply commented.

*Sigh* Stella sighed like she had lost something. "Yeah she was." She mumbled under her breath.

"Was? Oh... I'm so sorry." Carol said with worry in her eyes. Looking at Stella's downcast expression hurt Carol.

Stella smiled with pain. "It's fine, she left us years ago now." Stella said while holding back pain in her eyes.

"..." The men were all shocked at this performance! Stella had started to make up a story on the spot and was able to get such pity from the socialites!

"Master Zhou, weren't you thinking of sponsoring a movie lately?" Eun asked with a brash tone.

Rin's eyes lit up immediately, while Zou seemed to be in thought. "Mmm, I wasn't interested in the rubbish offered to me at the time. Honestly, who do they think I am? Some second-generation waste?" Stella said with some hate in her tone.

Rin started to take extra 'Attention' of Stella now. Completely replacing the woman who was feeding her grapes.

"Well... They aren't far from the truth." Cerim muttered. Just loud enough for the room to hear.

"Hey! This Master is a distinguished man. I've never been in a scandal before and I'm very honest." Stella said with a puff of his chest.

'That's because you aren't a Master, to begin with...' Cerim thought but didn't say.

*Giggle* "You are amusing Master Zhou. Don't you know that Rin is currently looking for a movie to perform in?" Zou said with a glimmer in her eye.

Stella looked at her right and raised her eyebrow. "Really? Mmm, give me some time to think about it." Stella said with a 'thoughtful' expression.

Rin was beaming while Carol was extremely jealous. She was also angry at Zou for not suggesting anything about her. She kept her grievances to herself for now...

*Ring* *Ring* Zou's phone suddenly starts ringing. *Cough* "Sorry, I need to take this call." She said as she bundled out of the private room.

Cerim finally relaxed and the women started to serve him again. "I wonder if it's from Yuon?" Rin wondered in an innocent tone.

"Probably, he is quite protective of her." Nio said with a slight nod of agreement.

*Sigh* "He is. I know it isn't my place but I feel that he is too clingy around her." Rin said with a desolate expression.

'Oh? Gossip!' Stella thought as she noticed the problem immediately.

"Is he? When men become too clingy we either love the woman too much to let others see her... Or we are keeping skeletons in the closet." Stella said with a quiet voice.

Rin slightly paled. "There is no way Yuon has any skeletons in his closet!" Rin immediately replied.

She quickly realized her sentence wasn't exactly correct. "He loves Zou and I'm very sure of it. After seeing them at the Fude house it was obvious." Rin said quickly.

Eun's eyes gleamed, it seems he had some useful information he didn't know of... 'I hope they leave now.' He thought, he couldn't be bothered to be in their presence anymore.

Zou came back in with a slightly weird expression. "Sorry, but I have to go. My mother is calling me back." She said as she picked up her handbag.

After she left, Rin and Carol were without the leader of them so they left quickly after her. Now it was back to the men and the women serving them.

"I'd send men to follow Zou." Stella said as she leaned back in her chair to relax.

"Already have." Mou replied.

Her expression wasn't quite right, it looked like she was being threatened with something... Probably a male on the side trying to expose her.

"Damn! I really can't stand those women! They act like friends but are prepared with a knife at all times! It's truly horrifying." Chris said with disgust as he waved away the women around him.

Nio looked at Stella. "You're good at leading them on. But how will Master Zhou be investing in a film?" He asked with mirth in his eyes.

Stella shrugged. "Why bother? The richest man in the country is in the same room as me." Stella shamelessly put all of the weight on to Mou's shoulders.

"Mmm." Mou hummed in response, he had expected that answer.

"Now we know how to create some chaos within the Fude household. Make Carol jealous of Zou and Rin. While making Rin jealous of Zou. Also if Zou has some skeletons in her closet... We expose them all." Nio said with a satisfied smile.

They continued drinking together for a few more hours. They all left at the early hours of the morning after drinking a lot.

"Brooo~~~ I'm sleeping at the villa." Cerim said with a slur.

Mou didn't act drunk despite having hazy eyes. While Stella had drunk the most and seemed unaffected.

"Is Terel around still?" Stella asked as she rubbed her chin. Terel wasn't anywhere!

"Underground." Mou said as he picked up his brother and carried him without complaint.

Stella realized that Terel would be in underground parking. She followed Mou with amusement in her eyes...
