Chapter 207: Like a little girl
Third person POV
After accepting the bet, Liam sat beside Vanessa, and they waited in silence for quite a while. Naturally, the woman didn’t arrive in time.
And then the door opened.
Liam froze for a moment, surprise flickering in his eyes. He had not expected her.
On the other hand, Lee Hua blushed, her usually cold expression melting for an instant as her heart skipped a beat. She was not ready to meet Liam right now.
Her pussy clenched just seeing the man, her whole body getting warm as she remembered how she masturbated with a replica or his enormous cock.
She opened her mouth to speak, to reassert control over the room, only to catch her heel on the leg of a chair.
There was a sharp clack-clack-CRASH! as the chair tipped over, knocking into a stack of glass cups laid neatly on the side table. The cascade of clattering crystal filled the room like the grand finale of a comedy skit.
For one glorious instant, the almighty Lee Hua stood there wide-eyed, her cheeks crimson, her poise shattered along with the glasses. The towering bodyguard flinched as if he’d just witnessed the fall of an empire.
The silence was deafening.
Leo couldn’t understand what was happening. Vanessa blinked in surprise. Liam’s lips twitched, dangerously close to a grin.
But then, like nothing had happened, Lee Hua lifted her chin, smoothed her dress with regal composure, and resumed her arrogant posture..
Her cold gaze swept across the room as though daring anyone to comment. The faint pink lingering on her cheeks was the only hint of the disaster seconds ago.
"Now," she said firmly, her voice smooth once more, "shall we begin?"
Her posture was arrogant again, but her eyes were warmer than before. At first she felt nervous and surprised to see Liam there, but she was not the type to feel intimidated with things like that.
Actually, on the contrary, she was buzzing with excitement. And many wild ideas and fantasies began overwhelming her mind. Her instincts truly were right, and this day would be much more interesting than she expected.
This version corrects all the spelling and grammatical errors while keeping the original wording.
"It’s an honor to have the chance to meet you again, Miss Chi Lee," Leo greeted her respectfully.
With a click, his new presentation appeared in the scream. The man had a confident smirk, being sure he could get the deal done this time.
At the same time, Liam blinked in confusion. He was sure Lee Hua’s name was not ’Chi-Lee’, so why was Leo referring to her with such a name?
Anyway, the confident man began his presentation, with a short reminder of what they had decided last night, and commenting on his proposal, mixing it with some jokes.
Leo, of course, had no idea what storm of emotions was swirling inside her. He only saw the faint smile on her lips and the almost imperceptible flush creeping up her cheeks. To him, it was confirmation that he was doing everything right.
With smooth confidence, he paced in front of the screen, clicking through slides filled with figures, projections, and strategic plans. Every time Lee Hua’s eyes softened, Leo’s smirk grew wider, convinced he was systematically winning her over.
Vanessa only liked lost. She was sure that they had no chance. And from time to time, she would talk with Liam whispering.
The boy told her that he had already met Lee Hua, but he was not sure if this was a good or a bad thing.
Liam didn’t know, because Lee Hua was good at hiding it, but, in truth, all of her attention was fixed on Liam.
After all, she had no interest in Leo’s stupied presentation, or the small deal he wanted to make. For her, it was just a small amount of money, that wouldn’t change anything in her life.
She crossed her legs elegantly, tilting her head just slightly, her lips curved in a beautiful smile, trying to look good.
"So, what do you think?" Leo asked.
Truth to be said, Lee Hua hadn’t heard a single word Leo had said. But she did notice the animosity with which Liam looked at the handsome guy.
It seemed fun, and she wanted to know more about it. She wanted to talk with him, instead of waste her time talking with Leo;
Actually, if both of them were enemies, it could be perfect for her... A wicked smile formed on Lee Hua’s face, she usually rode her emotions, but she couldn’t contain herself this time around.
Maybe she could get something from Liam, in exchange for helping him destroy Leo. These seemed fun, maybe she could make him do many things for her, like an obedient dog.
Or maybe he would just force her to help him, with no counterpart.
Lee Hua’s wicked smile softened into something graceful as she leaned back in her chair. She let the silence stretch just long enough for Leo to squirm, then, completely ignoring his question, she said:
"I need a cigarette."
The room froze for a second. Even her own bodyguard raised an eyebrow, though he remained silent as ever.
Before Leo could process, she turned her gaze to Liam, her eyes glinting with mischief.
"You, come with me." Her voice was calm, commanding, as if there was no possibility of refusal.
Liam blinked, caught off guard. "...Me?"
"Yes. Unless you plan to let a lady wander alone?" she replied, the faintest smirk tugging at her lips.
Leo immediately jumped in, panic bubbling beneath his polished exterior. "Wait, Miss Chi Lee! If you wish, I can accompany you myself. Or, better, why don’t you smoke here? I’ll have the staff bring an ashtray, it’s no trouble..."
He was panicking, not understanding when things got wrong? Why was that woman acting like that, when she locked so pleased seconds ago.
Lee Hua didn’t even glance at him. Her attention was fixed entirely on Liam, like a cat toying with its prey. "You," she repeated, rising gracefully to her feet. The click of her heels against the marble floor sealed the matter.
And just as she reached the door, she turned slightly, her hair shifting over her shoulder like a deliberate gesture from some old movie. "Discuss the terms with my bodyguard," she ordered Leo, her tone imperious.
The towering wall of muscle stepped forward and, to Leo’s utter shock, began speaking with a surprisingly refined and technical vocabulary. It felt strange talking so seriously, with someone built more like a battering ram than a businessman.
Liam was still confused, but he decided it was better to follow Lee Hua.
