As Alice finished her talks with others, she subconsciously wondered where Adam had gone and was about to turn around look for him when the man she detested came in her way. Trying to keep herself from grimacing, she looked at the man and said with a thin smile,"Samual, what will it take to get rid of you? I really really hate you from the bottom of my heart and don't want to see your face again."
The deplorable man smiled back at Alice and said," My dear sister. Don't worry I reciprocate your feelings hundred percent and would love to wipe your face off this earth, but before that I want to see you suffer a little. And usually you are smart but this time you have presented the opportunity yourself. Where did you get this D grade actor to be your trophy boyfriend? From an escort agency? Before coming here you should have trained him to at least not flirt with other women? Or at least not flirt with an under age girl whose family is extremely protective of her?"
Alice stiffened when she realized what Samual meant. Adam was with Mou Zirui. She saw the gloating look that Samual threw behind her shoulder and was tempted to turn back to take a look but controlled the impulse. She could not let Samual know how affected she was because of his words. Composing herself with in a moment, she raised her chin and looked down her nose at the man and said," Samual Faye, only a loser like you would think of hiring someone to be their partner. And I happen to not be a loser. So, don't be too happy and mind your own business."
To this Samual laughed heartily. He had naturally seen the momentary loo of her composure and said," Oh dear sister. Do you think you can shut everyone's mouth? Mou Zirui is a young social media influencer other than being the apple of the eye of the older Mou couple. And do you think that they would let a two penny actor near her. Your dear partner has already been spotted by Lady Mou and soon they are going to make their way to their granddaughter. And your dear boyfriend will have lost you your opportunity. Oh.. I am going to go closer to enjoy the show of your loss. Ciao!"
With that said, Samual walked past Alice to go to the bar to see the show for himself. Mou Zirui was known for being an introvert and not very talkative with strangers. She had even become a social influencer without ever letting people know much about her. Samual, who had been eyeing Alice and Adam ever since they entered had notcied the moment Miss Zirui had approached the man. If the man had even had a little sense, he would have run in the opposite direction before he was spotted by President Mou or his wife. But instead that Adam had stood there, chatting merrily with the young princess As a result, he had even seen the moment Lady Mou spotted a stranger lurking around her dear grand daughter and already inquired from her grandson about the identity of the man.
Samual had enjoyed the opportunity of even witnessing the glance of displeasure that Lady Mou had thrown Alice's way.
Taking a moment to compose herself, Alice breathed deeply before turning around. And immediately felt an arrow pierce through her heart as he saw the man grinning down at the girl. She should have known better that to trust a man like that! And that was when she realized that she had really trusted him! How did she turn so foolish? She should have known better than to let down her guard!
Angry at being played for a fool, she was tempted to go and scratch the man's eyes out and then maybe punch him and break his nose. Just then she noticed the older couple walking in their direction and with a sense of urgency, she walked towards them. Beating him up could wait until they finished their mission.
Just as Adam had agreed and was about to walk away from Mou Zirui, when a hand would through his. Surprised he turned his head and saw Alice smiling up at him rather weirdly. His eyes widened as she looked at her sudden violent eyes, wondering what or who had angered her? He could even feel her nails digging into his skin even through the material of his jacket and shirt. His Alice was really really angry. When she turned her gaze to Miss Mou, a sudden thought occurred to him.
Was she jealous? He was about to grin and tease her, when he heard her say possessively, "Miss Mou, I hope you can excuse my boyfriend. I was missing him. I hope you were not discussing anything important." Even though the words were said politely, the ice dripping from the tone made Mou Zirui widen her eyes. She turned to look at Adam, as if to ask him if he was sure that this person was really warm and was amazed to see that he was actually happy at the crazy woman's possessiveness! Suddenly she recalled what his bandmates usually said about him, "No one could guess what was going on in his mind! " It was true! Her idol was crazy. But she realized that she was also very happy for him! Just as she was about to smile back and excuse herself, her grandmother's voice interrupted, "Zi Zi, Chairwoman Faye. Would you like to introduce us to the gentle man here?"
