Young Mistress Liu saw that she was becoming more and more enamoured with Young Master Fu as the night went on.
He was funny and endearing, and he appeared sincere in his desire to get to know her.
Champagne in hand, they spoke happily about everything from their favourite novels to their goals and aspirations as they sat on a balcony gazing out over the gardens.
When Young Master Fu leaned in closer, their eyes met.
He replied in a quiet, personal voice, "You know, I've never met anyone exactly like you.
Young Mistress Liu had a heartbeat flutter.
He had a way of making her feel alive, even though she knew she shouldn't be falling for him so easily.
There was an uproar in the ballroom downstairs all of a sudden.
Young Master Fu sprang to his feet and had a frightened look on his face.
He apologised and then departed by walking down the steps.
Young Mistress Liu remained on the balcony, confused and a bit hurt, and watched as Young Master Fu hastily left with many men in suits.
Young Mistress Liu's heart pounded a little faster.
Even though she was aware that she shouldn't be falling for him so quickly, he had a way of making her feel alive.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the downstairs ballroom.
Young Master Fu sprang to his feet while sporting a terrified expression.
He expressed his regret before stepping down the stairs to leave.
Young Mistress Liu observed as Young Master Fu swiftly left with several guys in suits from the balcony, perplexed and a little hurt.
