chapter40 Total package

Grace Tang is Lucas Lin's soulmate and no one can convince him otherwise. they could could convince him that the sun is actually blue and the earth is flat. they could even convince him that his father is a good person but no one convince him that Grace is not 'The One'.

no one captives him like she does, no one mesmerizes him like she does. something about her makes him speechless. every time he sees her, every other person paled in comparison to her bright glow. the way she commands respect when she walks into a room. her elegance, her charisma, her poise... her finesse. so mouthwatering. Grace Tang is the total package.

it all started several years ago.

he can't clearly remember why he was with the school principal who also happens to be his aunt but on that faithful day, he fell in love. at first sight. in one word, mesmerized. her deep black eyes that beamed with mischief. her attitude, her entire personality. mesmerizing.

he had heard a lot about Grace from his aunt. she practically almost always talks (complains) about her every time she visits his mom. his aunt usually refer to Grace as 'the little demon' but he begs to differ. Grace Tang is not a demon rather, she is an angel. a goddess even.

if Ethan heard his thoughts right now, he would accuse him of reading too many romance novel. which he totally does but will never admit to.

the plan was simple. visit Grace's work place under the guise of returning her car, make small talk and then ask her out on a date.

step one was a success, he was able to deliver Grace's car at her company's garage unscratched even though he had to come late because of a meeting with the representatives of a foreign company he wanted to buy. the meeting was suppose to take place yesterday but he blew everything off to spend the day with Grace. totally worth it.

step two had its shortcomings, he was too flustered and his small talk came out in wonky sentences. 'I should have taken that shot of vodka' Lucas thought. talking to Grace felt so easy yesterday. maybe it was the adrenaline or maybe it was the fact that his head was up in cloud nine the entire time. what ever the reason is, it is not happening at the moment.

as for step three, "go out with me" he blurted Grace raised a questioning eyebrow at him. "I mean a date... I mean go out on a date with me.. that came out wrong. what I mean is, will you go out on the date with me?"

Grace looked stunned. his heart was beating super fast, his palms were super sweaty, his was super duper nervous.

Luna loves her brother, so very much. he became like a father to her when her dad wouldn't. he took responsibility for her and their mother even before their father died. her brother deserves all the happiness in the world even if it comes in the form of her scary boss. it still surprises her that of all the people her brother could have fallen so crazily in love with, it had to be this.. this bully.

Anybody with or without eyes can tell that Grace Tang is an attractive woman, an embodiment of beauty and brains but her personality, not so attractive. if their aunt finds out that her nephew is in love with Grace Tang aka 'the demon', she'll pull her hair out but that is not the point.

if this vicious woman named Grace is the key to her brother's happiness, she will do anything in her power to get them together. but, there is one huge problem. Lucas is horribly terrible with women. he has had his fair share of girlfriends in the past but not because of his charm but because of his good looks, wealth and his last name.

Luna stood there watching her brother babble incoherent words in his attempt to ask Grace out. 'how can he so bad as this?' she face palmed. she was embarrassed for him and at that moment, she wanted to hit his head with a pan in hopes that the part of his brain responsible for flirting would come alive.

"are you joking" Grace asked. obviously test the waters

"no! I'm serious. yesterday was so much fun, I would like to go out with you again. tonight if don't mind" her brother managed to say.

"sure, I would love to" Luna noticed her brother breath out in relief.

she had to do something. anything to her brother 'get the girl'. her brother is obviously going to mess this up. his is too flustered and unorganized at the moment. there is no way she is going to let him screw things up with with the only girl he has shown genuine romantic interest in.

so she said something shocking, even to herself. "I'll come with". 'what the fvck am I doing?'. "you know, to be the wing woman" 'why can't wait just shut up'

her brother gave her a questioning look while Grace shot her the dirtiest glare known to man kind causing her to shiver in fear. 'this is for my big brother's happiness, I'll do whatever it takes even if it means sacrificing herself to the gods of gorgeous yet scary women' Luna thought with conviction

"there is no need for you to come am along. go home and get some rest" Lucas said

Luna fought the urge to roll her eyes.

"it's no biggie besides, I know all the coolest hot spots in the city. you won't even notice my presence" .

her brother isn't the type to drink or get drunk but when he gets some booze in his system, he becomes more expressive and bold contrary to his normally shy and reserved self.

'this better work'.
