CHAPTER 7: PLEASE LOVE ME BACK

Huang Xia came from exhausting workloads in the office. It has been a very busy every day. Her cousin Huang Faye asked her to go to the Azalea Bar.

That is why she said yes. Besides she needs it. Now at the Azalea Plaza Hotel. She was at the lobby when she spotted familiar faces as they enter the hotel.

"Hi Moo, hi Jary, what you are two doing here?" flirting smile came from her mouth as she spoke.

"We were having a drink at Azalea Bar. Some of our friends were here already having fun tonight. - Wang Jary.

"Oh Really! What a coincidence my cousin Huang Faye asked me out tonight. Care if we join?" she said looking at Moo.

"Well, I don't know about that. There were no ladies invited tonight. I think for the boys only." Jary replied, obviously he does not like Huang Xia to join.

"Oh, my bad! Anyway, let's go inside together. I'll just wait for Faye to arrive." She said with a little disappointment.

Huang Xia felt embittered rejection. It might be a chance with Lee Moven tonight. They entered the bar together and most of them were their friends in circle. Xia went straight to the bartender waiting for Faye to show up any minute. She ordered drinks for herself.

In another table, Lu Ricky was fully aware that Huang Xia was there in the bar counter all by herself. He likes Xia too but her eyes were set to Moo only. He knew that Lee Moven would never care for her more than a friend. It was her who was just being stubborn.

Huang Xia already has three glasses of wine when Faye texted her that there's an emergency in the company and cannot be with her.

"Just great, really great! Now that I am wasting my time waiting for her." She murmured. She asked another wine to ease her anger.

.....

At the other side, Lee Moven limits his alcohol intake. He was about to leave, Xia swaying body approached to his direction. It looks like she was really drunk.

"Bro Moo, can you s-e-n-d me h-o-me? Faye can---not come right n-o-w? I can---not drive anymoreee….. Xia almost falls to the ground and Moo was able to catch her. He asked the waiter to call Wang Jary.

The waiter pointed to Moven's direction. He saw Moven and Xia not far from their table. Jary came forward. "What's up bro?" Wang's asked as he walks closer. He was looking at the drunken Xia.

"Get a room here for Huang Xia she was too waste to drive back home." Moven commanded.

Wang Jary walked ahead of them as to get a room for Xia. A few moments later he handed him the key to the hotel room upstairs.

"Are you sure you can handle her?" Wang Jary asked.

"Yes, you go ahead and I will send her to her room then I will go home after." Moven replied.

Wang Jary returned to the Azalea Bar and join their friends who were still there. Moven held Xia to the elevator and presses the button number 7. Room 731 written on the card.

While they stood in the elevator, Xia anxiety increased as the floor number increase. She was pretending to be really drunk just to be alone with him. She was still drunk but still can manage.

She will confess her love to him tonight. This is her chance; she will do it now or never. They walked to Room 731. Moven reached out to the door to open it with the card in his hand.

He put the card inside the slot for it to function up the whole room. He assists Xia towards the bed just as Xia grabs Moven's neck to kiss him.

However, Moven's alertness quickly blocks the situation. He knew what she wanted to do. He pushes her away to his face and Xia's whole-body trembling in shock. She lifts her head and look at him.

"Moo, I love you please love me back." She begged as she confesses.

His face was tight, expression dark as his reply. "Xia, you're drunk just take a rest. You'll going to be alright tomorrow once the alcohol worn out from your body."

"Why don't you love me? I have feelings for since then. Can you just see me as a woman?" she continues begging. "It's been 5 years since Tang Wenling died and you know that I like you so much."

Moo only treat her as a sister, they came to know each other because of their family. He cannot see her more than that. He swept his gaze over her without any intention of answering back. He headed straight to the door and left her.

The pain intensified for Xia's heart; she was still sitting at the edge of the bed. She is crying and hurting. She knew no matter what she does he would look at her only as a friend.

Because of anger, determinations that push her through that she will not stop until Lee Moven become hers. She will do something about it.

She wants Lee Moven badly. All the years she waited and waited for the chance to be the next Mrs. Lee.

----

Hearing Lee Moven footsteps sound towards the elevator and push the button down. He waited for a few minutes the elevator door opened. It was not for him to step inside because the sign was going up. But it changed his mind, a woman was standing at the end of the elevator resting her head to the wall.

It's Yoon Chaya. Her eyes were close and face was red. The elevator was about to close but he blocked it with his hand. He stepped inside and stand beside her. He saw the hotel card, Room 1201 fall on the ground and pick it.

She was really drunk and did not notice she drop it. Lee Moven shook his head and picked it up for her.
