The explosion of Stella's emotions started to confuse the entire room. As the women slowly left to give them space, they had more time to think.
For a person so secretive, so intelligent, so good-looking, why was he so averse to what just happened? It wasn't that forceable what the woman did to him, yet Stella's reaction was explosive and extremely unpredictable.
This was certainly confusing the man who thought about it the most, Mou. His cool demeanor was inwardly a total mess. The number of questions he had was unfathomable, as his gaze stuck on to Stella for the entire time...
Stella didn't notice, rather, she didn't notice the emotion in Mou's gaze. She paid no attention as she continued to drink.
"Are you sure? Wasn't he meant to marry her aunt?" Nio's thirst for gossip was practically filling the room at this point.
"Haha, no! On the certificate, he was married to her sister! Her sister was still abroad and hadn't been in contact with her family for a few years now." Emily gloated as she drank away.
Chris lightly shivered. The brother and sister were talking about some important people in the world like they were discussing what was for dinner... It seems the thirst for gossip ran in the family, what a terrifying thought...
"Tch." The sound of Stella's aggravation stopped them in their tracks.
'What happened now? Would someone have to pay with blood?' That was their first thought...
*Ring* Then everyone in the room heard the sound of a ringtone. It was a song from a relatively popular female singer...
"Excuse me." Stella stood up and left the room. Leaving many more questions for the room...
Stella's eyes were sharp as she walked through the club. She made sure to stay away from the public eye and entered a private part of the club just for VVIP's.
"Yes." Stella answered with a despondent tone.
"Apologies miss, it's urgent. They have started to make some moves again." Vi's voice came through the phone.
Stella did not react but to lean on the wall. "Oh, I see. Are we prepared?" Stella asked as she glanced at the time on her watch.
"Yes miss, how should we act?" Vi asked, the questioning tone in her voice evident.
Stella smiled as she looked up at the ceiling. "There is no time to rush things, I can discuss it with you later," Stella responded as her eyes glanced in a certain direction...
Vi noticed the slight change in Stella's tone. "I understand." She replied, knowing that she needed to end the call now.
"That sounded important." Mou's voice came from the doorway as he watched Stella become defensive in front of him.
Stella put away her phone and stood up straight. "Just some endorsements I have soon. I never expected you would do something like eavesdropping." Stella directly called out Mou.
To Stella's surprise, however, his reaction didn't shift, rather, his eyes continued to be plastered on Stella. "You can't call it eavesdropping when you were speaking so loudly." Mou replied as he walked forward.
Stella raised her eyebrow. Maybe she didn't have enough information on Mou to read when he was drunk? Normally he would become polite and investigate stuff in private... Alcohol can change people quite considerably.
Stella watched as Mou walked toward her, and got closer, and closer.
The smell of his shampoo wafted into her nose, as he looked down on her face. She up to his.
It looked like he was analyzing every facial change of Stella into his brain and documenting it. The seriousness in his eyes made Stella feel slightly awkward...
"Is there something on my face?" Stella asked with a lopsided smile. Mou took in the heat of Stella's breath, as his eyes darkened a tone.
"Your smile." Mou commented, making Stella rather confused.
"Huh?" She was baffled. 'Does drink make this man slower?'
"It is fake. Why?" Mou continued, making Stella's smile falter.
"There are so many mysteries surrounding you, why is it so?" Mou kept going on.
Stella felt her brain falter. 'This man... Dangerous! How could he notice? What gave him the confidence suddenly?'
Stella knew, that as soon as Mou had any suspicions about her that she would be investigated, so why is it that after receiving nothing from the Bei family that he kept going? He knows that he isn't strong enough to find out anything...
Knowledge is power. What Stella didn't know, was that Mou had indeed gotten information from the Bei family, and since Stella didn't have that knowledge, she was at a disadvantage here...
"I'm an actor, it is my job, no?" Stella responded as she took a step back, banging herself against the wall.
Mou took another step forward, closer this time. Stella could see his adam's apple bob as his eyes slightly narrowed.
Mou moved his arm up, placing it on Stella's shoulder. Suddenly so many thoughts fly into Stella's head. As Mou lightly taps her. Then takes a step back.
"I see." They were his last words as he turned to walk away. The emotion in his voice indescribable.
Stella looked on with a blank face. As she looked down at her hands. "Huh." She lightly mumbles as she clenches her hands...
................
"Did you end up seeing Stella?" Emily asked as she stood up.
Mou sat down and took his drink. "He ended up becoming busy, I saw him off." That was the only words he responded with the rest of the night...
"Oh, well I'm going to have some fun, I'll leave you all to your drinks." Emily didn't take much notice as she went to find the woman from before...
The others noticed that Mou was in a slightly different mood from before, but they couldn't place it in their heads. He seemed to be in a bad mood but also good at the same time...
So they decided that the man must be having some crazy mood swings, they enjoyed their night together...
