Why Can’t It Be Her?

"I don't even know where to start, Lien." He rubs his hands down his face.

"How about you start with, 'I'm sorry I attacked you.'"

His eyes meet hers, wide with certainty. "Lien, you have no idea. I am so sorry. You have no idea what I've been through these past days knowing what I've done to you."

She has no idea what he's been through?

She shakes her head, slowly. "You have no idea, Zean."

The anger and hatred spilling out of Mei Lien. She spins, pointing at him. "You have no idea! To fear for your life at the hands of the man you love? You have no idea, Zean! Fuck you for doing this to me!"

"My truth is that I have absolutely nothing to say," he says quietly. "I'll never be able to take back what I did to you. And you'll never believe me if I promise it won't happen again." He presses a kiss against Me Lien's hand. "You are my world, Lien. My world."

Mei Lien looks at Zean one more time. As heartbroken she is, she asks herself;

Where did he go, her love?

There's this guy, who walks and talks, Just like him; but it's not him.

The smile she loved,

Gone,

The protection,

Gone,

Just attacking and cold.

And so, she feels like a widow, one with no funeral,

To go to,

To mourn at,

To express her grief...

For the man who wears your skin, she wishes him, love,

Long life,

Happiness,

Whoever he is because he looks so much. Like the one, she loved and even that shadow,

Did she ever tell him? That she loves him. No? Because she does, even though he destroyed her.

It's just that,

Her heart broke,

And mended,

With you, On the outside and then he came,

And you left,

Forever.

Neither of them brought up breaking up or even a chance at reconciliation. Mei Lien is just not ready for that conversation yet and the least he can do for her right now is show her patience.

The patience he still owes her from all the times he had none.

Tang Enterprises,

Annual Meeting Ceremony.

Flashes are everywhere.

Journalists, reporters, and fans are there.

"O M G isn't our male god Chen Daoming, the supermodel" A fan screams it.

Flashes around him didn't wait to capture the good locking model. A few minutes later, some models, actors/actresses, and some business partners appear on the red carpet.

"Did one see that sexy succubus, I meant I would not be mad to her if she drags me to hell. It would be an exquisite and alluring hell" Some of the reports whispered while they capture every angle of the Queen of Act.

"Na- Na!! is so fucking sexy that I bet she would be the devil wife" A fan scream her love for the actress.

"Na- Na!! marry me" Another fan yell with all his voice while holding a banner 'I love Na Na'

The eye cat actress sensually smirks killing more love hearts.

At last, a black expensive car park just at the beginning of the red carpet. A tall but angelical figurate came out from the car.

They knew who it was, is the big boss of Tang Enterprise.

But for everyone's surprise, a small yet cute woman is next to him, she looks innocent and fragile.

Some people compare every actress with this unknown woman.

"she looks like a baby sheep around the Icy boss, his serious character makes you think he is into sexy and provocative type like one of his artists, the Queen of Act, Zheng Xie Na." A reporter can not contain himself into speaking out loud his opinion.

"There is a rumor that the Queen of Act, is in love with CEO Tang. Everyone claimed that they would end up together since pretty much Actress Na Na is very loyal to him." Another reporter spoke.

"Well, it looks like even Queen of Act could not honey trap CEO Tag, but that little girl could" A Reporter commented.

"I think I saw that girl before…Yes!! Isn't she CEO Tang new secretary!" Reporter B answer proudly for his discovery.

"Thou, if it is true that Actress NaNa is in love with CEO Tang poor girl, even if I am not a fan of Na Na, she much pretty than the girl Next to CEO Tang" A Daoming's fan who was quietly listening state her opinion to her friend.

"Yes, I know, I am a fan of Na-Na's work and let me tell you she is mazing yet I hear she bit eccentric but how that unknow girl can compare with the daughter of the president and Queen of the act. For sure, CEO Tang is blind" A-Mei Lien's Fan spoke.

"Speaking of that looks like Prince of Act Mo Zean will not come today annual meeting" A Zean fan-free her opinion out loud.

"Yep sadly. Although, I thought Mei Lien would come as a special guess. I am sad to no see my goodness."

Later, every celebrity is chatting with another popular artist like normal people while waiting for the even to start.

At the corner surrounded by some male celebrities and some famous woman too, is Zheng Xie Na. A beautiful woman, but only on the outside. She was highly practiced at seduction. With her succubus looks and high cheekbones, it was all too simple. Nothing so pretty could harm you, right? Mostly she just let them feel in charge, guiding the conversation with unnoticed prompts. It was only seconds before her new target was jumping through hoops to please her. Her face and some cleavage could get her anything and anyone.

No-one knew how she'd take a rejection because it had never happened or was what everyone thought. Yet, was far from the truth. There is a man who she loves. There is a man who rejected her no long ago.

And that man is about to speak.

His dazzling smile was perfectly drawn on his face. Standing on the center, like if he was born to look at it. So handsome. His bone structure was fine and perfectly symmetrical, it was manly. Just observing his bright eyes comes an intensity, a gentleness. Perhaps this is what is meant by a gentleman, not one of weakness, but one of great spirit and noble ways. Those same charming eyes. Those who everyone would fight to be looked by them. Yet, it was just one girl to receive the amazing price. The girl proudly stood next to him. Everyone could tell, they are a couple. But everyone also could tell she didn't belong to their social circle.

Zhang Xie Na didn't know what to think. She didn't know how to stand it.

Her heart was racing. She couldn't spend another second seeing him, because she knew she was about to break down.

"The reason for today's meeting is to announce my engagement with the woman I love." His serious voice ends up warm when his kissable lips pronounce 'The Woman I Love'

So, it was true he has a new love resting in his embrace, in her feet standing in her place. That's when it hits Xie Na it's over.

It wasn't obvious for everyone. But she knows him, his cold eyes have these sparkles of love. Something that she never saw before.
