Mask and Veil

While running for her little life, Alina felt bitter and reflected on her fortune. She escaped from hyena's den to wolf's den. How unlucky can I get? What a problematic dream before my death. Even in my death I couldn't find peace.'

She felt frustrated, even after dying, she couldn't control anything. People were taking advantage of her. Gripping her phone, her resolve to become a strong person became stronger than ever.

Her frustration didn't subside, that man took advantage of her muddleheaded situation, taking her into his embrace when she was caught off guard.

If that was a normal day, that stupid rogue wouldn't have been spared without some injuries.

Alina shook her head thinking 'What a pity'.

As she was running away, the unknown man looked at her with even more interest.

Even though his feet were hurting since she kicked him with her small heels, her kick was powerful, if he was not careful, his feet wouldn't have been the only thing that would have been injured.

He heaved a sigh of relief. That woman was ruthless, pretty but also a cunning fox. And he likes it. He ignored the pain. There was such a woman who could actually take advantage of him, the young master Li.

Now that's interesting.

She was enticing and his heart was intrigued, she was no ordinary woman and he wanted to know her more.

Calling her a woman would be an overstatement since she very looked young, early twenties. She took advantage while he was engrossed in his thoughts, what a lucky little lamb.

He would have truly turned into wolf. He was taunting himself for instantly liking a woman he just met and even leaving an impression of a young boy in love.

Love?

He chuckled when such a word popped up on his mind. He truly was not, but she was interesting.

He was even more amused since her behaviour indicated that she never took a loss. But her antics would say otherwise, since he wore mask.

He wondered what would be her reaction when sees the picture. Veil and a Mask, the combination doesn't seem bad.

He grinned when he thought about it but now he regrets, he also wants the picture. He also regretted not taking enough advantage.

He looked at the direction the little kitten ran away from his claws, he wondered if he would ever encounter her again. A part of him really hoped they did.

He didn't know who she was hence he wanted to have another encounter with that strange woman to be more acquainted with her and take more advantage of her.

He liked the feeling of teasing her, she somehow brought calmness to his inner turmoil. He licked his lips as darkness emerged in his eyes.

The perverted man was brought back to his senses by a middle aged man's anxious voice; he seems little out of breath.

"Younger master Li, I have finally found you, why did you come here?"

While patting his secretary's shoulder, the young man replied as he grinned at his poor secretary, he looked like he has aged a decade.

"It must have been hard on you, secretary Hao."

Secretary Hao wanted to cry, 'what do you mean by hard on me'.

"I had to look for you all over the city, sir. Do you understand how big this Metropolitan city is and here you are, entraining yourself with a young lady."

'Where is my dignified, cool and intelligent master? I was really cheated.'

Poor secretary Hao was internally complaining about his lazy boss maintaining a poker face. His boss was amazing in every aspect but his eccentric behaviour gave him headache.

His boss was cold and ruthless towards outsiders but was flirtatious to the people close to him, teasing and bullying them was his pleasure.

A sadist to the t. Taking pleasure in others pain. What a mean boss. His behaviour was contradicting and unpredictable, sometimes he wondered if he was a psychopath or a sociopath.

Eh, what's the difference? Either way, this man was mental.

But, what can he do, he was just an employee. He can't complain about his boss. Not unless he wants to be jobless, penniless as well as homeless. What magnificent career he chose.

"I wanted to see my little cousin's bride, I heard he was getting married here today"

Young master Li spoke out words like it was another day and did not come here to feed his curiosity as his eyes looked far away.

"Ah, you mean Young master James. Ehm, about that... His bride ran off from the wedding saying she does not want to marry him"

Secretary Hao hesitated but he couldn't lie to his boss hence he told him what happened. Light flickered through his eyes as he heard his secretary.

"I see"

He smiled with deep meaning. Secretary Hao looked baffled.

"I want every detail of the wedding and information about the Xi family"

Secretary Hao was scared shitless, why did his boss suddenly turn intrusive?

Even if he was a sadist, he doesn't get involved in branch family affairs.

To his master, it was beneath his dignity to fight over shallow and narrow minded people. Yet he was the pettiest person ever. His boss was really a hypocrite. Secretary Hao howled silently.

Whose Doomsday was it?
