Chapter 24: My Boyfriend Is A Gentleman

At Zhao group building

Mrs. Huang arrived in her office and got busy with a few important files that she needed to sort out that same day. She was a down-to-earth woman who worked very hard to bring her brand single handedly to such a high level .

She picked up another file to check it out when her newly appointed marketing manager knocked and came in her room. She greeted Mrs. Huang and asked her, "Madame, did you order to cancel the contract signing of Miss Rio Tang?"

This manager was in direct contact with Miss Tang's manager, and she wanted to confirm the cancellation because she was informed that the COO had called for that contract to be cancelled. The manager still thought it must be some kind of misunderstanding only.

They have already prepared everything and even scheduled Miss Tang's shooting much before the contract signing.

"No, I did not…" Mrs. Huang casually answered because she was too busy in checking the details of their new product so she didn't bother to indulge in the details.

The manager exhaled a sigh of relief. Miss Tang's name at the moment was in the limelight because she had gained a lot of sympathy from netizens because of her case with the famous network trying to defame her.

She believed her recent public fame would also skyrocket their sales once Miss Tang's ads endorsing their major products were up.

She immediately went out from the CEO's office and contacted Miss Tang's manager, Flor.

"There's just some misunderstanding and let's proceed with the shooting…" the senior manager informed Flor.

Flor was with Rio Tang at that time who gave her an arrogant smirk as she said, "See, I told you… I have been behaving well lately and I know whom I should offend and whom not."

"Let's head at the site directly for the first photo shoot then." Flor instructed the driver. They were supposed to go back to their office initially, but the phone call from the Zhao company elevated her mood and she felt relaxed that Rio would still represent the Zhao group.

.....

Meanwhile, Lana and Liam were still outside. It was already lunchtime, so they stopped to eat first at the nearest restaurant.

Both of them were quiet. There was a deafening silence spread between them that no one among them dared to speak.

Lana thought Liam was still annoyed with her dressing sense. Lana wished to break the silence and thaw the ice, but she didn't know how to.

They both sat down on a rather inconspicuous table and ordered food for themselves. The silence still lingered on between them and Lana twitched her lips in annoyance because of the tension between them.

Unknown to them, just a few tables away from them was the person who despised Lana very much.

Miss Rio Tang was also eating lunch with her manager in the same restaurant. When Rio saw them entering, her jealousy knew no bounds seeing Liam and Lana together. She completely could not understand what made Liam like that woman who was after his money and status.

Her complete focus then shifted towards them, and soon she noticed the tense atmosphere between the two, including Lana's crumpled face. She was overjoyed when she saw that and decided to take advantage of the situation.

"Oh look who's here. Flor, Liam is also eating here, I will just greet him..." Rio said to her manager.

She then asked, "Tell me Flor, do I look better than that B*tch sitting there with Liam or not? Am I not better than her in every aspect? I'm beautiful, sexy, successful and have a better status that suits his position. How can she have the right to be with him instead of me?"

Flor was stunned, hearing those words coming from Rio's mouth. She looked in Liam's direction and understood what she meant.

"What are you doing, Rio? You will attract attention from the public and that won't do good to your image and publicity!" Flor scolded her. Rio clenched her jaws as she threw daggers in Lana's direction and paused in her action.

"Control that temper of yours Rio, will you? Of all the men, why only him?… There are a lot of capable and young men drooling over you, so just stop fantasizing about that attorney" Flor scolded.

She noticed Rio was obsessing too much over Liam, probably because she was having a hard time getting the man's attention, unlike others who were head over heels in love with her and followed her, so the situation was like a challenge for Rio and the thought of losing was killing Rio.

Rio ignored Flor's advice and got up from her chair to approach the table where Liam and Lana were eating.

"Hello Liam, I just saw you both also eating here, coincidentally. I too am sitting at a table not far from yours. Do you mind if I join you both because I wanted to discuss something about my case with you?" Rio asked Liam with her beautiful eyes blinking at him and a sweet warm smile pasted on her face.

Lana could read the expressions of that pretentious woman and see through what was going in her mind. She also noticed those smirks on her face when she turned to look at her.

Looking at the situation, Lana knew she would have to speak in between to make the situation normal.

So she immediately answered the woman on behalf of Liam, "You see Miss Tang, my boyfriend is a gentleman and he dislikes being rude with women. So let me take this honour to answer on his behalf. We do mind you interrupting our lunch because it's not office hours, and this is a private lunch for only the two of us. If there is really something you want to discuss with my boyfriend, I suggest you call my boyfriend's secretary to take an appointment. So now if you can please excuse us and give us some time alone. Thanks..."

Lana even winked, and she inwardly grinned when Liam ignored Miss Tang like air, who seemed to turn towards him to ask Liam to say something to scold Lana.

Before Rio could even speak, Lana saw a woman pull her back to her table. Lana felt relieved because she was not in the mood for another petty quarrel.

'What a small world to see each other often like that.' Lana mused.

Flor held Rio with her arm and said in a low annoyed voice, "What the hell are you doing Rio? Why are you trying to offend Liam Sy and intervene in their date? Are you really such shameless?"

Rio was furious and didn't know how to soothe her anger. Liam was ignoring her because he already had a woman. A woman who was nobody had a cheek to make Liam ignore her. They considered her a Goddess in the entertainment industry so she could not accept a nobody like that intern to laugh at her like that!

She would show Liam what kind of b*tch that nobody was.

"You'll see Flor. That man will be mine soon!" she heard Rio vow. Flor only shook her head. If not only Rio was bringing a lot of profit to her and the agency, she would not put up with the woman's attitude.
