Lifen was feeling dejected because of Deming's words. She was already pretty shocked due to Chang's move and now his thoughts about her gave her extreme pain. The cold breeze of the dark night striking her body was not as cold as his words.

She turned around to walk away when his hoa.r.s.e voice reached her ears, "Lifen, wait. I am sorry, that's not what I meant. You are not familiar with these streets, I will drop you".

"No need. I will walk on my own. You can go back. Ms.Long needs you. As for me...", she lefts a mocking chuckle for herself, "I don't think I hold any such value in your eyes. I am just a cheap girl to you, who desperately wants a relations.h.i.+p".

Deming did feel that he had exaggerated his words but it was impossible to control his anger. He was like this only. The whole business world knows him for his short temper and overbearing ways.

When he saw her moving away from him, he felt something important is leaving him and he can't let that important slip off. He swiftly paced hard and easily overtook Lifen, "Okay, consider my previous words as defunct. I actually didn't meant that, just forgive your friend this once".

Lifen looked at his eyes which were now filled with sincerity for his words and she felt that she shouldn't have looked. His eyes has the power to spellbound her, no matter how much hard she try to breakthrough, she just can't. She gave a thought, she was always a person who thinks after being in other's shoes.

And after being in his shoes, she can tell he was very much concerned for her. But his concern was giving false hopes to her heart. She knew he already has someone in his heart. He has long forgotten her, his promise to her. His sincere concern was hurting her, even his friends.h.i.+p was something that she couldn't handle now.

Only she knew, in the last few days his friends.h.i.+p was not easy for her heart. Though her mind knew, there was no future between them, still her heart was adamant to her feelings for him. The tears in her eyes were glistening under the yellow streetlights. Suddenly a quote went across her brain, "Enjoy the wine today and let the worries for tomorrow".

And now, she is not going to worry about her brain which are stopping her heart but she will be freely enjoy the last two weeks with him, after that she will leave him happily.

When he saw that was not replying to him, he felt that his words had severely hurt her soft heart. He just wanted to relieve her heart from the pain he has given. After giving some thought he said, "There is a good news for you, but I will only let you know after you forgive me".

"Good news? What's that?" she asked in bewilderment.

"Hmm", he nodded his head gently, "To know that, first tell me that you are no longer angry"

Lifen gave some thought and then nodded gently. A warm satisfying smile spread on his lips, it was for the relief he got after knowing that she was no longer angry at him but little did he knew that his smile was going to hurt her soon.

Lifen didn't miss that tender beaming smile on his face as he said, "Jie woke up today and now she is all fine".

Lifen was jolted deep inside. Again, again her happiness was short lived. Few minutes agao she decided that she will enjoy this last few days with him, without caring much and now here everything was again a mess. She too wanted that Ms.Long can get well soon as she knew she was someone in his heart but still she wished that it could be after she went abroad, far away from him.

She can't blame him for this, she can only blame her foolish heart. She gave a warm smile to him and decided to be happy him, "Really? That's really good news. You have to give me a quite sumptuous treat now, you can't run off away".

Deming was expecting this warm smile and words from her. He knew that this girl is really an angel by heart, always joyful in other's happiness and this is what that attracts one to her and makes one to put down all their guards in front of her. She has the world's most beautiful heart.

She didn't realize when warm tears rolled down her cheeks. He didn't knew why tears were suddenly in her eyes. Seeing her tears, his bros came together, "What happened? Why are you crying?"

"Crying? No I am not crying?" she lied without hesitating.

"Do you want me to buy that? Quick tell me the reasons behind your tears", he squinted his eyes to carefully catch her changing emotions.

She shrugged under his gaze, "Stop thinking too much. It just s.h.i.+vering cold wind that went harsh into my eyes"

He looked into her eyes for sometime and could find that something was off in her, and he thought maybe it was because of previous accident with Chang so he didn't gave much thought.

"Okay, I will not drag this more. Come, let's have dinner first. I will treat you with your favorite sumptuous meal", he said pulling her back towards the car.

"No, I am already full. Treat me some other day. For now, just drop me off at my place", with that she wen and sat inside the car.

He went swiftly walked to his driving seat and said with confusion, "What do you mean by some other day? I will treat you tomorrow. Don't say you again going to another date with someone ".

"Hahaha...not funny. I am just being considerate towards you. Ms.Long is now fine and you have missed her for all these long months. You should spend your time with her. Why should I come between you two love birds? Are you trying to kill me with your love display? And most importantly, you Jie might not like me because of our previous encounter ", she sighed.

Deming was quiet, looking into her eyes as if scrutinizing all her words and then comparing it with her eyes.
