AN UNKNOWN ENCOUNTER!

As Meng leaves her room, she goes and unpacks the dress from the packet. She opens the dress in front of her. *Woah, Am I supposed to wear this*. She grins and turns towards the mirror, "It's too beautiful".

**

Back in his room, Taeyi freshens him up and dresses for the gathering.

He looks at the mirror. He puts up a black silk shirt and half unbuttons it revealing his fine built chest lining. He moves towards his huge cupboard and opens it. He sides his eyes and closes them.

He takes out a grey suit, hangs it over his shoulder and turns to leave the room.

*

" Ohh! Meng! Long time no see! how have you been?". A huge figure with a sculpted but smiling face appears in front of Meng.

Meng turns to his side, "Ah! Boss Li, yeah! long time!". Meng greets him with a handshake.

Li Shao, the boss of the northern mafiosos. A powerful person that no one dared to go after in the north.

Taeyi enters the lounge and stands with his hand on the pockets.

All the mafiosos seemed to have settled in their respective comfort zones. Each mafiosos handling their acquaintance.

" Oh! Taeyi's here! Where is your company today?", One of the mafiosos speaks up from the crowd. Everyone eyes were at the place Taeyi stood.

Taeyi glances at his watch*She must be here by now*.

"woah! who's that beautiful woman".Chatters start among the crowd." Ohhh! shall I make her mine after this?", the person laughs!.

A slender woman wearing a silver dress with a slit at the side of her legs appears at the lounge.

She had her long hair in a bun with some strands falling from everywhere. She had a beautiful necklace around the neck that beautifully lined her collar bone. As she walks towards the lounge, the long slender legs appear from the slit and every man, as well as a woman in the lounge, stood awestruck.

*

Hua lin walks inside the lounge, she breathes some air and walks with confidence But as she reaches the lounge, she sees hundreds of eyeballs staring at her like she was something delicious to eat. She stops at her place and feels uncomfortable. She glances her eyes everywhere for a familiar face. Her eyes stop at Taeyi and she smiles with relief.

Taeyi stood at his place with a blank face and stared at Hua lin, *How can she be so beautiful, What should I do? I cannot watch other men eyeing her not even women! , I want to hold her and kiss her right now*.

Hua lin glances at froze Taeyi and glares.

Taeyi notices her uncomfortable look and walks towards her.

Taeyi stands in front of her blocking every person's eyes. Hua lin smiles at his gesture.

Taeyi caresses her face with his hand and lifts her chin, "You look beautiful". Hua lin stands there frozen, her heart beating fast.

Taeyi leans his face towards her ear, "If you want anything in future then ask me rather than asking some other men to bring it for you".

He glances at blushing Hua lin and smirks, "Are you feeling hot?".

Hua lin glances at Taeyi and removes his hand and backs herself, "It's a bit hot today!". She clears her throat and fans herself with her hands.

Taeyi back with his cold eyes stretches his hands in front of Hua lin. Hua lin looks up at Taeyi and gives out her hand. They both walk towards the lounge.

" What? was that Taeyi's Women?". "They look compatible with each other though!". " Beautiful people are meant to be together", Meng sprouts out through the crowd.

They reach the centre, A huge chair with decorated arms stood with some more chairs surrounding it. Taeyi stands beside the chair and glances at Meng.

Meng looks at him and makes his way towards the centre.

"Ladies and Gentlemen it was very glad to have you all today on this precious occasion, let's begin our gathering officially".Meng announces and leaves the centre.

The Mafiasos gather around the chair and gets themself seated, their acquaintances following them and seated on the arms of the chair.

Li Shao makes himself towards Taeyi, " Taeyi, How are you? it's been a long since we met.". Shao smiles.

"Mr Shao! I am fine, thank you. You seem to be fine too!". Taeyi leans at the chair beside him.

" oh and who is this beautiful lady I haven't seen her before?", He turns towards Hua lin beside Taeyi and stretches his hands.

Hua lin glances at the hand and towards Taeyi who stood there with raising eyebrows.

"She is my woman!". He glances at Li Shao with cold eyes and back at Hua lin he nods.

Hua offers her hand," Nice to meet you, Mr Shao!".She smiles.

"Ah! Yes", He smiles and makes his way towards the chair.

Taeyi glances at Hua lin and holds her hand. He takes Hua lin and makes her seated in his chair while he stood beside her.

Hua lin looks up at Taeyi with the confusing look, *isn't this his seat? why did he make me sit here?*.

Everyone at the chair wiggled uncomfortably at seeing Taeyi standing while his acquaintance sitting at this chair, *The big Boss's chair!*

" Isn't she just an acquaintance? why did she sit in his chair?" the mafiasos whispered amongst each other? "Right! he is making us appear rude and uncomfortable."

Taeyi stands firm beside the chair, he glances at Hua lin who was nervous and uncomfortable.

He twitches his eyebrows, "You all are making my women uncomfortable! If you want to gossip then get out of my resort, you are free to leave!". He says with a coarse and harsh voice.

Everyone looks at each other and shuts their mouth.

Hua lin peeks a look at Taeyi and blushes, *How handsome*. she looks at the front,* What? what's wrong with me? why am I thinking that*?

She looks up again and catches the eye of Taeyi. They look at each other for a while and looks away awkwardly.

They toast their drinks and have some gossip.

After a while, the mafiasos gather at a place far from the gathering being held! Every man paves their way away from the gathering.

Taeyi glances at Hua lin," Stay here! If you need anything then find me!". He leaves with the other mafiasos.

She sits blankly on the chair with a soft drink in her hand. The other acquaintance brought by the mafiasos were sitting at the arm of the chair and no one dared to sit on the chair even after their partners left and the chair was emptied.

"How lucky that girl is!", "Look at her how shamelessly is she sitting at the Boss's chair".The women start to chatter among each other.

Hua lin shifts at her place uncomfortably.

" Little lin! Woah! it's nice to see you here!".
