CHAPTER FIVE:HIS COMFORT GESTURE TOWARDS ME

After spending the entire night thinking about what to do with the current situation, I received a call from Jiang Hao who wanted us to meet and talk things out,things actually became more serious the next day as the news reporters had even figured out where I stay and also where my cafe was so we could only meet up at his friends bar which he says is really a good hide out.

" Are you sure, this place is safe? won't we get our photos taken and creating more rumours?" I asked," It's a safe place don't worry." he said as he handed me a glass of water," Can I have some wine instead.." I requested," Look I know it's still early for that but I really don't think anything can hit home more than wine." I explained as he poured me a glass,I looked around the place and smiled," How did my life get to this point?" I said under my breath as I sipped on my glass of wine," So why did you ask to meet?" I asked," I hope it's not to request me to accept your managers suggestion." I added," I asked you hear so that we can both come up with a solution...me and you without involving my manager since this issue is strictly about us." he explained humbly as I stared quietly at him," Uhhmmm I really don't have any solution in mind.. actually for a second last night after talking to my best friend I almost gave into your managers suggestion of us faking a relationship..." I said as I sipped more on the wine," I've never been in this situation before so I would be lying if I say that I can come up with an idea." I added," Well I've never been in this situation either..yes I've had plenty of scandals here and there but non of them had to do with my relationship." he said, the more I talked to him the more he proved to be opposite of what i see him to be on the news or the red carpets Alia forces me to watch," So we both came out to find a solution when we both don't have any.." I said with a faint smile," Then how about we just have a drink and head home..iam sure a solution will come to us soon." I said as I raised me glass for a toss," Cheers." we both said as we sipped more on our wine.

We could risk getting out of the bar in day light since we weren't sure we wouldn't have paparazzi following us so we drunk and talked about many crazy things as we waited, I got to hear a few stories from him that I wouldn't have read about in any of his interviews and I also shared a few of mine since I felt it was better to do so with some one I might possibly never meet again than someone so close..I must say that amidst this chaos it really felt good to have a drink with him.

His assistant picked us up later and dropped me off at my house, we agreed to both think of more solutions in the mean time," Thanks for the drink...and for dropping me home." I said as I slightly bowed," Good night." I added as I turned to leave,I pulled out my phone which was ringing and picked up," Hello.." I said as I waited for the other person to respond but they didn't," Hello.." I added as I angrily hang up and headed to my house

At first I thought it was the wine that had got to my head when I saw Li Wei ( my ex boyfriend) waiting outside my door so I moved closer and it was indeed him, why was he at my place..? I asked my self as I proceeded to Ignore him any way.." Yi Yi!" he called out as I pretended not to listen and continued to open the door," Yiyi." he added as he grabbed my hand," what's wrong with you?" I said as I pushed him away from me," What's your problem?" I asked as I sighed and proceeded to open my door," Are you seriously asking what my problem is?" he asked," Well then I'll tell you..when you walked in on me and found me cheating I did feel a little guilty and felt apologetic towards you." he said as I kept quiet and listened," I was even planning to apologize untill I saw the news of you and that famous actor...how were you blaming me for cheating when you weren't a saint either..." he said as I angrily folded me first and tried to hold back, hearing home spew all this nonsense really had me questioning my self for having dated a low life like him," What are you trying to say?" I asked," Are you still playing dumb with me...you blamed me for cheating on you when you were also cheating with me..so just like you demanded for answers from me then I'll ask you a question too...when did you get together with Mr famous...was it after you broke up with me or while you were still in a relationship with me." he asked and that's when I felt all my self respect being stomped on," What..cat caught your tongue." he added as I lost it and slapped him across the face," Who do you think you are to ask me such questions...who do you think you are to compare your self to me...who do you think you are to take advantage of the mess iam living just so you can feel less guilty.." I said as tears rolled down my cheeks," I tried to think of a million reasons why you cheated on me, I almost swallowed my pride to call you and ask if we could forget it all and still be together...but everything you said today proved to me that you are just a helpless jerk..." I said angrily as I turned to leave when he grabbed me hand," let go..before I slap you again." I said as he held on tightly..." let go.." I said," She told you to let her go.." said a familiar voice and O. turning it was Jiang Hao," Oh...so I guess the rumour are true..I bet I'll get my self alot of money for this valuable information.." Li Wei said as Jiang Hao walked towards us and grabbed his hand," Well before you sell this piece of valuable information for money, I think you must have to tell the police why you are here forcefully holding onto a girl's hand after she has yelled telling you to let her go." he said as li Wei losened his grip on me," Are you trying to frighten me?" he asked as Jiang Hao walked closer to him," What do you think?" he said...as li Wei found a way to escape but was caught by Eric," Let me go.." he yelled as Eric took him away...I wasn't sure how to feel as I stared at Jiang Hao with tears in my eyes..." Are you okay?" he asked as I squat down and cried my eyes out....he didn't really say much as I did but just put his coat over my head and patted my back...I felt crushed by Li wei's words and actions but I must say I felt comforted with Jiang Hao's gesture towards me.
