Chapter 276 - Interesting essence of their friendship.

"So how long are you planning to play these useless games of yours? Stop pretending to be dense when you know it rightfully that you are capable for a lot better. I would never accept a coward as my friend. So better get yourself right, before I kick your a.s.s off"

His words were something that could leave a deep impression on anyone even with the minimum words.

Earlier when Feng Shufen had asked him out, Shuai had never known that he had been so obvious to his friend all these years. He wanted to curse him to death for not telling him all this while he was out making fool of his feelings and emotions.

Only if he has given a pat of assurance on his back then all things would not have been so hard for him to cope. But then again could he blame him? Nope, he was not to be blamed in the first place. The emotions and feelings of one's heart were their responsibility, not others. Being confident about something should be his decision, not other's provocation. Standing up for his feelings or not should be his decision, not other's suggestion.

And most importantly, above everything, he should be surprised at the fact that his friend cared to show his concern for him because that was something not in his personality. He was a friend that will let you take the worst fall in your life to get your lesson; will give you a chance to accommodate in the situation, know your surroundings better and then stand up on your own will. He was not the one to let you become all dependent on him.

Something that was different but the best essence of his friendship. He cared but his way of showing care and concern was a bit too different. Something that Shuai knew was rare to find around.

The call to his friend was just to get some confidence in himself. "Shufen, I think you got me right. I am really an incapable one in hiding my emotions anymore. I – I don't think I can hold all this any longer. I will go as per your suggestion".

"Good! Go ahead!" came his curt reply and the call instantly got disconnected the next second as if this simple call was costing him more than half of his fortune that he was fearing to lose.

For Heaven's sake dude, can you once be any less heartless? I am still your friend for more than half of our life. Shuai cried in his heart. But then suddenly his thoughts halted when he realized an important part missing in all this context.

Did Shufen know what he did to Yi Lan two years back in the States? Did he know the reason why he was struggling to accept my feelings? No, he shouldn't know all this. No one should know. That was the promise he has given to someone.

This entire story should remain a secret. Although he would not be following that promise anymore, he still would not be revealing his reasons to anyone.

Not because it would hurt the person he promised his words to rather because it would hurt the person he has loved all these years. And seeing her hurt will be the last thing he will ever want in his life.

At the same time at some night club,

"Sying, I think there he is", Da – Xia said, gesturing to the woman to look towards a table at some distance.

Wen Sying followed her indicated direction and soon her eyes fell on a slightly fat-bellied, middle-aged man sitting all promiscuously with two women on his either sides. His arms wrapped all tight on their shoulders keeping them as close as he could, using all his strength.

The more she looked at him the more she felt disgusted. He was not a charming one but without any doubt, he had the wealth to intimidate people around. Though she did not want to go anywhere near him, still she knew that that was the only choice she had at this moment. The time was demanding something that she does not want.

She was badly in need of getting some good sources for her career or else at the end of the story, she will have nothing left in her bag. Now especially when the agency has simply shrugged off their shoulders from taking her responsibilities or helping her more in the career, and her doubting that Li Xue might set her foot back in the industry.

Da – Xia expression turned doubtful when saw odium in the woman's eyes. To confirm the things once again, she asked, "Sying, you know what you have to do right? You have made Mr Huo accept your ideas even if it means …"

Before she could complete her words, Wen Sying turned to shoot her a deep glare. "Are you calling me useless now? Doubting me?"

The manager instantly shook her head in meek denial. She definitely did not mean something like that with her words.

"Then, why are you repeating the same thing again and again? I know what I have to do. Don't forget that I am the one that can command you. You are not on the post to order me around. Do you understand?"

The seeming poor manager could only nod her head in agreement. Did she ever have any other choice? Nope, she never had one.

After reprimanding her manager without any reason, she felt her twitching nerves calming. Huffing a deep breath out, she adjusted her low – cut collar a little bit to show more of her cleavage and then asked in a low tone, "Have you checked everything around? No camera or paparazzi, right? I can't risk things."

"No, no, Sying. I have checked everything around. There are no sneaky eyes on us here. You can trust me. I won't risk your career. I have taken you …"

Again her words were cut short with rude interruption, "Of course, you can't risk my career as it's what that also earns you a lavish livelihood. Or which another model can bag you so much fame and commission, except me". She said with a smug stricken face, without caring that her words could hurt the people, it was directed to.

"I … I … yes, you are right, Sying! You are the best one, I could get. Thank you for keeping me under your care all these years. I am truly grateful." None of those words was genuine enough to come from the heart. They were just to impress and boost up her ego and pride.

And those words achieved its aim as Wen Sying face beamed with pride hearing it. It boosted her ego. "Fine, fine. I got you. Now don't waste my time here. Let's head to our work first. We don't have the whole night here. Come now!" she said as she turned on her heels and made her way towards the table Mr Huo was sitting.

But little did they know that a pair of eyes were following their every moment. Cl.i.c.k.i.n.g up some proofs against the so-called top model of the industry. Something detrimental enough to ruin her career in one strike … if not ruin, then at least damage it to an extent where it will become hard for her to collect and revive it back.
