Besides telling her to come sit with him those 8 words were the only words he had ever spoken to her.
Huang Wei froze in her seat, she knew this would come up but she wasn't expecting it now and definitely not in this setting, not beside this stranger she had fallen head over heels for even if she really did not admit it.
He leaned back adjusting his posture to rest comfortably in his chair after getting the desired reaction.
He didn't want Huang Ah Lam, he wanted something challenging and from the looks of things he was right to pick Huang Wei, she was obviously not comfortable with the idea of having to marry him.
She couldn't even bring herself to say anything she just slowly nodded her head.
But she wasn't the only one shaken by those 8 words spoken by Wang Bolin.
Cheng Ling felt his beating heart stop for some split seconds, he knew Chairman Wang wanted business with the Huangs but he definitely felt it was Huang Ah Lam. How could he have known that the lady he met at the bar drunk was the infamous Huang Wei.
He tried so much to hide his emotions and from the looks of things he was doing a really good job. Wang Bolin hadn't noticed anything off from his countenance.
Soon one of the body guards under him leaned forward to whisper something in his ear, as Wang Bolin carefully observed his facial expression to steal a clue on what he had just been told but there was nothing in his face to denote danger which made him a little relaxed.
"Excuse me Boss" he said charismatically standing up from the round table.
The bodyguard who had just delivered the message was quite surprised he stood up, he only came to give him the usual feedback on the situation of things but since he told him it had been settled why on earth would he want to leave the function he thought to himself but he dared not question his boss, most especially Cheng Ling. He had disappeared for a while and came back a whole new person hence a lot of people who worked with the Wangs were naturally scared of him. No one ever saw him smile after he returned from his mysterious trip.
He gently walked outside the hall to clear his head
"We have everything under control boss" one of his men said.
"Yeah I know, you can go back to your previous posts" he said in a commanding tone
"Yes boss"
The hotel where the event was holding had a beautiful waterfall decorated by different colored bulbs. It was a sight for sore eyes.
He stood in front of the water fall watching the beautiful patterns of the water fall which was cycling continuously.
The words of Wang Bolin re-echoed in his ears which dropped like a bombshell.
"What is wrong with me, why do I care if she marries him or not" he thought with a frustrated look on his face.
He just could not wait for the function to be over.
"How do you want something you can't have" he thought once more as he made his way back to the seat before arousing any suspicions.
Huang Wei took a deep breath when he stood up to leave, but several other thoughts came in.
"Did he leave because of what he said?"
"is he angry, pained, sad or disappointed";
She just could not wrap her head around it which only increased her frustration,
"Okay Huang Wei, get your acts you've got other problems"; she thought
Asides this, she had a meeting with the reporters.
She needed to prepare mentally for their questions.
The remaining part of the event was delightful but Huang Wei wasn't paying even a tiny bit of attention to it, she was extremely concerned about the events taking place recently in her life and her beating heart.
She felt nothing for Bolin, if anything, She definitely didn't like him.
Chairman Wang was called to give a brief speech on the opening of one of the biggest restaurants in the country.
After his heartfelt speech, he received a standing ovation from the audience.
Huang Wei was definitely not in the mood to give a press conference but she knew she had to, she promised, she wouldn't want to add her failure to keep her words add to the heap of dirt already on her name.
The event ended with lots of guest feeling really fulfilled and Huang Wei, an emotional mess.
Ah Lam quickly picked up her bag to leave since the plans she had for Huang Wei had completely failed. She gave fake smiles for the camera on her way out to please her fans but deep down she was fuming in anger and jealousy.
Wang Bolin stood up from the seat without saying a word.
Chairman Wang stood up right after as she stood up to pay respects to him.
"Good night ladies" he said with a smile and a slight wave of his right hand.
Good night sir they both responded in unison while Cheng Ling stood up to leave too.
All three men walked toward the exit without turning for even second to give her a second look. Wang Bolin had thought of seeing her off but by all means possible he wanted to get off the radar of hungry reporters that just wants to prey on people especially the famous.
Hunag Wei took a deep breath, relieved that he'd left already but she still had other fears.
"You'll do great I promise, you have nothing to hide"
