"Ahh.. that would be really great Mr. Zhang! You can get him tomorrow! I.. I'll send you his location tomorrow morning that can be suitable for the meeting!"
"Then.... you won't dare to disappoint me..., right Mr. Li!"
***** At present, 11 June 20XX *****
Zhang Wei woke up the other day after he signed the most regretting deal of his life. But he knew it was necessary to uphold the important project. He washed up himself and looked at his phone.
'I was expecting that old man Li Hao would inform me regarding that man's whereabouts. Didn't he say he'll do that in the morning? I wanna make them regret this deal, but this is really disappointing that I can't, at least for now!'
He opened his texts but found nothing specific from Li Hao regarding their business meeting. Tossing aside his phone he brought out his chess board and chess pieces from the table drawer and laid it on the table. It's something he likes to do in his free time.
He had developed the habit to play it alone, moving the pieces from both the sides. Apparently no one dared to approach him to play since he had a knack to win every single time! No one likes to play a pre-decided match where the winner is fixed, that is Zhang Wei.
On top of that, one uncanny observation can tell that he prefers to play with set of black pieces. No one knows why. Rumours has it that black is the color of his glorious victory but some believe that maybe black pieces bring him luck. Either way, Zhang Wei is an extraordinary chess player.
One and half hours passed in silence. Only the light flickering noises of chess pieces being moved on the chessboard can be heard. Clock struck three in the late noon and still, there was no update from Li Hao regarding Bao Chai's whereabouts.
He glared at his phone but not a single text he received in that passed time. Not even from other people or businesses personals.
That was infuriating. The business tycoon himself had to wait for a reply of a mere no one, and on top of that, to meet that no one.
He sat up, got his phone from the soft and well arranged bed of his. Furiously flexing his hands, he threw the phone away when a sudden *ding* echoed in his empty room. His eyes got narrowed as he looked at the screen.
'If...if not for that bastard, I could have find that chubby guy where ever he is and have killed him right then right there!!! He dared to make me wait!'
The text indeed was from Li Hao and it was undoubtedly related to Bao Chai's whereabouts.
He clicked on it to read the full message and his eyebrows tightened when there was a mention of a party full of *GIRLS*. He sweared him to his death after looking into the invitation he had received.
It was from Bao Chai, who was throwing a party at Rose Royalty, one of the biggest hotels preferred for party organisations.
He wanted to cancel this deal in an instant; making Bao Chai one of the utterly humiliated blacklisted person in that society but he controlled his nerves. He replied in *I'll be there!* and clenched his fists.
The time mentioned was of late evening. He thought he could make it there in time if he can sort out his problem real fast. He opened his contacts and called someone.

"Is this the place Jane Jane?" Song Lin asked indicating at the high profile building, glimmering with decorative lights and colorful flashes. Xiao Jane, too, stepped out of the car as her eyes flashed with the decorations the hotel was wearing.
"Well I can't say it's the place where HER birthday party could take place but, according to the venue mentioned in the invitation card, we are right here!" she said handling her little black purse, side covered with expensive diamond beads.
Song Lin wasn't carrying any pursue. She thought she won't be able to eat if her hands will remain occupied. After all it's Demoness's party. There won't be any fun if her best rivals would return home with their stomachs empty.
Stepping out of the Royal blue BMW, both of them smiled at each other and gracefully made their way to the entrance.
The guard got mesmerized by the direct reflection of those two beautiful faces, making their way inside the hotel like some kind of foreign princesses.
Song Lin handed over the card to him; as he gestured his hands towards the party hall, smiling like a peasant who had just seen the greenery of youth and beauty with his dry midage eyes.
Song Lin smiled back at him. Xiao Jane laughed lightly at her; seeing her in a new version, or say a more feminine version of her phase.
Slowly taking steps towards the big fancy party hall, they reached at the centre; from everyone could be seen.
Their eyes landed on Han Zuana, who was wearing a black skinny dress, almost giving a slimy fish like appearance to her. The dress was so thin, it was barely covering the upper one third of the body; showing off her personal assets in a creepy distasteful manner.
Song Lin felt like her eyes got burned the moment they fell upon Han Zuana's attire.
Demoness was holding a glass of Champagne, pouting and chatting with her other friend flies. She was standing on a floor above on an protruded balcony accessed by a large staircase.
"I wanted to make fun of her, but damn girl!... Looking at her now, I don't think if we even need to put any efforts to do that hahaha!"
Song pointed in her direction and laughed slowly. The amount of second hand embarrassment the girls were getting just by looking at Han Zuana was immeasurable.
"Right! She's embarrassing herself much more than we ever can! Though I wish she likes our present!" she said and winked at Song Lin.
**************************************
Zhang Wei stepped out from his car, hurried up to his room and went straight to the shower.
It was 7:27pm and he had to reach in at the hotel on time. Coming out from the quick water massage, he changed into a Cobalt blue peak lapel tux Jacket paired with similar line plain pants with white ironed shirt underneath his perfectly fitted attire.
He set his hair a little more decent than usual; to avoid any unwanted interactions he might face there. But he didn't want to hide the fact that he's a man of CEO breed so he used his favorite cologne; wore his black Reign collection wrist watch with Rouis Phillipe tie; making him look like a fresh cream of the crop of high society men.
He picked up his car keys and drove at Rose Royalty within twenty minutes of ride in his Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 .
Zhang Wei tried to contact Li Hao. The old guy must be inside the hotel room.
"Where can I find you old man?"
"Sir..., I'm upstairs, two floor above from the main party hall. Bao Chai has assured me that he will be up there after greeting his important guests." his words seemed careful, as if one wrong word and a sword would be placed on his throat.
Zhang Wei hunged up on him and entered the hall.
'What the hell with that important guests thing? Is he taking me that lightly to think he can meet me after others?' he thought and punched the wall where the guard was standing.
The entry guard got startled and when he met his gaze. He couldn't find the courage to ask him for the invitation card. Although he seemed absolutely overqualified to be here.
Zhang Wei stepped in the hall and his deadly eyes were finding Bao Chai. He wanted to strangle him the moment he gets his hands on that chubby old man.
Standing at the centre of the hall, he turned around and browsed the entire hallroom, only to stop at a peculiar sight.
He saw Song Lin, dressed unnecessarily gorgeous and pretty; like a delicate lavender petal... contrast opposite to the style she had worn back in restaurant. She standing with the another familiar lady, eating chocolate puddings at menu corner.
He found his eyes acting strange; he couldn't help but stare at her direction without any reason. For a moment, he forgot his actual reason behind coming to this party.
He saw her laughing; messily eating and dropping some pudding crumbs on the floor.
Crowd kept saying things like,
"How unmannered!"
"She should act like a lady!"
"Isn't that Songs' granddaughter? Why is she eating like this!"
"She should control her appetite!"
And so on.
But opposite to their opinions, Zhang Wei found it kinda captivating.
'She's so carefree. I don't want to admit but I wish to live this kinda life as well!'
When he first entered the hall, he felt his vision getting blurry, he wanted to run away, before his eyes landed on Song Lin.
"I think this view improved my eye sight!" he mumbled as he smiled crossing his hands.
He didn't care if others are staring at him or not. He felt somehow, ...relaxed.
'I have taken my medication on time so it won't hurt if I actually enjoy myself at this party!'
Unaware of his steadfast gaze, Song Lin was busy. Not only was she eating, her gaze was actually fixed upon Han Zuana.
