Chapter 8 - The Antagonist

"Whose going to fall in love with whom?!"

In spite of her anger, Sera threw a pillow over the door but Lou Bai was already gone. How could the man say that? Sera had a lot of things on her mind that she wouldn't be able to cater to that kind of feeling.

She was almost fooled by that false feeling of love. In the end, what did Song Ming do to her? It was all an act and Sera fall into the trap. Now it was her who would suffer the loss.

"Ai, what would be the probability of having romantic feelings to the man?" Sera caress the bear in her hands only to forgot that she had given the core of it to Lou Bai.

Now a sense of uneasiness swept over her body.

She just hopes that the man won't turn her down and fled with the program, right?

"Where is Lou Bai?"

Sera asked the nurse who was in charge of her necessities of the hospital room.

The nurse was currently checking her vitals and answered politely, " Madam, Sir has business to take and he said he will be back in the afternoon."

When Lou Bai came out that day, he never came back, and a day had passed. Sera took it that the man must have been too busy so she didn't pester him at all.

On the second day...

"Where is he?"

It was the same nurse who answered, "Madam, Sir has a meeting today. He said that he will try to find the time and visit you in the afternoon."

Sera shrugged off and let it go.

On the third day...

"Where is your Sire?"

"Madam, he has attended a birthday party of one of his colleagues at work..."

Bulshit!

Sera was already tired of waiting for him. Is he avoiding her? Now that he had that program in his hands, he didn't pay attention to her?! Is this a get and run scam?! Sera was already healed physically. She didn't have any fever at all.

She must go!

"Madam? Where are you going? The master specified not to let you out yet..."

"Well then, get your master here! You can't, right? Then I can't stay here forever, right? You don't need to worry, I only needed his address. Tell me where he is? I will go to him."

"But Madam..."

Sera didn't wait for her to open her mouth or she will just get rejected. She only got the name of that colleague that was having a party this time. If the man has no time being with her, then she will be the one who will make a way to him. He better return the program to her or her teddy bear will be forever empty.

Hotel and Luxuries Delux

Reception Room

Xiang Lou Bai stood out of the crowd. He was wearing a white tuxedo partnered with black pants. His half nationality bearing is too strong among the public. His height towered everyone and his appearance was dashing akin to a celebrity. When one wanted to find him in the crowd, he will immediately be noticed.

Someone tapped him from his back.

"Yo! Did you come alone? Where's the princess?"

Lim Xing joked around. But what he got is a cold stare from him.

'Ai, this man is too boring'

"Did you analyze the data I have given you?" Though he is in a social gathering, Lou Bai still didn't forget about business.

Lim Xing nodded. Then his face becomes rigid and serious. He looked around to see if no one is eavesdropping to him and whispered, "Where did you get that? Holly cow, you didn't know how confidential that data is. It's incredible and at the same time terrifying. Listen..."

Lim Xing wasn't comfortable in their position and drag him on the corner of the room.

" That piece of code could even start the war between the two countries. You should keep it tightly under your care. If this will be known, other countries will try to get their hands on it."

Lou Bai's unfathomable eyes stare at him, Lim Xing added with a bit of disappointment, "There is only one disadvantage of this code..."

"What is it?"

"T-this, it seems its activation mode is through voice recognition. I tried to input voice codes yet it didn't respond."

Hmm...

"Even I tried to copy the frequency of your voice yet there is no reaction at all."

"It will not. Because it's not mine."

"What?! D-did you steal it?"

Xiang Lou Bai didn't answer because at the far end corner of the room, he spotted someone that shouldn't be here at this party.

She was wearing a pale pink dress with a fur coat. Her face was covered with a satin veiled that goes over to her neck. Her hair was flowing down freely and though it wasn't fully decorated, it still goes with her attire.

The woman saw him and their eyes met. She immediately went to his side and greeted him in her bright shining eyes.

"Why are you here?" He whispered through the gap in music.

" If I didn't go here, you will forget about me!" Sera pouted her lips. It felt so dry that she took a glass of water from the passing-by waiter.

"You have guts. You even went here. What do you want?"

"Give me back my AI." She said as she lay her open palm in front of him. She was direct to the point.

"I'll give this to you but you need to get out here first. It's not good to be here..."

"Why is it?"

Lou Bai wasn't able to answer her. The loud claps of the crowd drown their voices. Soon the main course of the event happened. There was a distinguished guest that the celebrant invited. And this person isn't someone so trivial and couldn't just be invited by anyone.

The leading men among bachelors who stood at the top of the business world. The newly appointed CEO of the Tan Group. The none other than, Song Ming.
