"It’s you who...." Noah stopped, realizing what he was about to say.
Jake was the one to hurt his lip while kissing the previous night and Noah wanted to say, ’You are the one who did it.’
A cold shiver passed across Noah’s spine as he remembered that moment when Jake bit his lip, pulling with his teeth while kissing. It didn’t feel painful at all. Instead, Noah liked it.
Jake waited for Noah to finish it but seeing him quiet; Jake asked, "What about me?"
Noah snapped out of that memory and warned, "It’s you who is invading my privacy. Stop asking me such personal questions."
Noah managed to answer and stop the situation going in the wrong way, but he cursed himself in his mind, ’Damn, why am I like this?’
He was always careful with his words, and it was not normal for him to lose his mind just because someone provoked him.
Jake smirked, "I can’t promise you that."
"Then don’t expect me to answer you anything."
"As long as it’s not related to me," said Jake as he asked, "What should we do today?"
"Haven’t you checked what Lu Lijun sent you?" Noah asked.
Jake picked up his cell phone and checked the email. "Do I have to attend it?" he asked.
Noah nodded, "That’s why Lu Lijun had personally sent it to you. I’m sure President Lu asked him to do it."
"They must know I would do anything for Lu Lijun," Jake commented.
"They also know it’s good to have strong support from good friends in the business world," Noah added.
Jake’s status was something that would back up the strong image of Lu Lijun even effectively once others would know what kind of people Lu Lijun is a friend with. If one prince who is the heir of one of the wealthiest business empire in Europe is Lu Lijun’s friend, then it would definitely add to Lu Lijun’s advantage.
Though their friendship was not based on these materialistic things as these three young people never cared about it, the world would look at it differently.
Benefiting each other or not, they just had a chance to be together.
Jake was aware of the things that work in the business world and concluded, "Looks like president Lu cares for Lu Lijun a lot."
"You can see it too but not our friend," Noah sighed and asked, "Why do you think he hates her..umm..I mean acts as if he hates her?"
"I’m sure there must be a valid reason. Lu Lijun is not the one to act like that," Jake replied.
The two kept quiet for a while, thinking about their friend’s behavior.
"Don’t you think there is more to this hate story?" Noah asked.
Jake somewhat understood what Noah wanted to say but didn’t wish to speak about it, "Let’s not talk about it."
"I’m worried about him. I feel like he will do something that will hurt him and others," said Noah.
Jake knew it too and suggested, "Let’s leave it on time. We are here, by his side to help him."
Noah agreed.

Lu Mansion...
On the breakfast table, Lu Jinhai spoke, "Yuyan, today is the project inauguration party."
"Hmm," she nodded.
"The one Wens hosting," Lu Chen asked.
Lu Jinhai nodded, "Mr. Wen has invited the entire family."
"Do we need to?" Ning Jiahui asked.
Lu Jinhai nodded, and elder Lu spoke, "Seems like he wishes families to know each other."
Lu Lijun stopped eating after hearing it, and just then, Lu Jinhai looked at him, "Lu Lijun, today’s project inauguration party is important. You must attend it."
"Father, I....."
"We are going together," Jiang Yuyan, who always sat silent while eating, spoke.
Lu Lijun looked at her surprisingly, and he heard one more instruction, "Be ready till 7."
No one talked as they waited for Lu Lijun to talk.
"Hmm!" Lu Lijun nodded and continued eating.
It surprised Lu Jinhai and others as they expected him to say no.
"You should invite Mr. Jake," Jiang Yuyan suggested.
Though Jake was Lu Lijun’s friend, Jiang Yuyan preferred to call him Mr. Jake due to business reasons.
------
In the evening, Lu Lijun got ready in the black suit. He set his hair neatly to give it a perfect look, different from his usual set hair.
Putting in the black shoes, once Lu Lijun was ready, he stepped out of the room as it was time to go.
Just then, Jiang Yuyan came out of her room, and Lu Lijun turned to look at her as his sight observed her entirely as she covered that short distance between them, from her room’s door to his room’s door.
She wore an elegant black knee-length pencil fit dress with long sleeves and a wide shoulder neckline. Her golden-brown hair tied in a bun as few strands left loose on either side of her face. The ear had black studs, and as usual, she had a minimum make up while the feet had black heels.
Though she was so simple, she looked prettiest to him that it was difficult to move his sight from her.
"Shall we go?" she asked.
Nodding, Lu Lijun walked with her downstairs. He always walked behind or ahead of her, but this time they were together.
’Is everything getting normal between us,’ Lu Lijun thought.
-------
In the grand hotel in the city, the people from the business world gathered.
It was the inauguration party for the project that Lu Lijun was working on since he joined Lu Corporation. It was the most important project for Lu corporation and others, but it was special because it was Lu Lijun’s first project with which he started assisting Jiang Yuyan.
From Ming Industries, the architecture model was ready, and soon it was going to be the start of the construction part.
Lu Lijun reached there along with Jiang Yuyan and Xiao Min, in a black, high-end luxury car, A President Lu’s identity.
The moment the two entered the venue, party host Wen Zac welcomed them just like he welcomed other guests.
"Welcome, President Lu," the handsome man in a beige color suit welcomed them as he shook hands with Jiang Yuyan.
Smiling lightly, Jiang Yuyan accepted the greeting, and Lu Lijun stared at the two as his sight followed from their hands to Jiang Yuyan’s smiling face.
’What’s the need of smiling?’ Lu Lijun frowned inwardly.
He didn’t know why but he was sure he didn’t like it.
