The man’s back was tall and straight, like a pine tree in the wind.
It was Zain.
Yanis recognized whose back it was for the first time and stepped back almost reflexively. He retreated to the corner, standing against the wall, and at the same time his heart pounded.
“You have dashed hopes of yours.”
Yanis secretly cursed herself.
Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded.
-Well… I’m sorry, Mr. Zain. I didn’t want to bother you, but I have this opportunity today, so I came to look for you. In fact, I’ve admired you for a long time. I know you have always been single. I didn’t dare to open my mouth lightly. I take this chance and hope you will give me a chance.
Yanis’ eyes widened in disbelief.
If he didn’t mishear, that voice … was obviously Florence, who had chatted with her a moment ago.
Florence, particularly popular in the entertainment industry, actually? admired Zain?
She stood there stunned by the news. How could that happen?
But thinking about it, she was right. There were plenty of women who liked a good man like Zain, chasing him. Even the big star was just an ordinary person after all. It was normal to have a lot of emotions, and also to want an excellent person.
What would Zain say?
“Florence, so good, beautiful, with a first-class figure and face, is more outstanding than me. It can be said that the comparison between the two of us is the difference between heaven and earth.” She mused.
It should beat her heart with such a beautiful woman who confessed to him, shouldn’t it?
Thinking about that, Yanis felt a pain in her heart and her nose was a little sore.
“What was he thinking? Even if Zain likes Florence, I don’t care.” she thought.
She had already decided to forget him, hadn’t she?
Just as Yanis was immersing herself in the smoldering imagination, the male voice sounded indifferently.
-As you know I’ve always been single, you shouldn’t say these things today.
Florence froze for a moment. However, being a star, it was good reaction on the spot. She smiled slightly.
-Maybe it will be different after today? You’ve been single for so long. I just want to try. If not, there won’t be any chance.
That sentence was so right. You have to try to do what you want to do.
The brave one, the fearless one.
Yanis, who was standing against the wall, thought the same thing before he got frustrated. He even felt that as long as you want it, you can get it by working hard.
But one thing was overlooked, that she never belonged to him.
And back then, Florence was just like her.
-She would have no difference.
To Zain, indifferent, looking extremely cold, she looked like the woman, the goddess in the hearts of many people, in front of him, she had no special glow.
Florence looked at her beautiful face, her lips moving slightly. She was going to say something, but Zain gave her a sentence suddenly coldly.
-How much time do you still need to hide behind listening?
What?
Florence didn’t understand the meaning of his words at first, but it took her a long time to react and she became nervous in an instant, looking around.
“Are there paparazzi? It’s impossible, the people at today’s banquet are all acquaintances, and here is Hoikong Villa. There is no paparazzi in the North City who would dare to take the opportunity to enter this kind of place, for once discovered, it will be trespassing and legal responsibility can be investigated and fixed,” she thought.
Yanis was surprised when she heard Zain’s words and became nervous.
Zain… What did what he said before mean?
“How long do I have to hide behind listening?” she thought.
Could it be that he noticed she was eavesdropping? However, when he came out, he had his back to her. How did she know there was someone behind him? Did he have eyes in the back?
-You don’t come out, are you waiting for me to take you out?
There was a slight menace in the light voice, and suddenly coldness coursed through Yanis’ body.
He dared not linger any longer. Zain seemed stable and rarely lost his temper, but he was not easy to get along with.
He took a deep breath, faced the circumstances and went outside.
Seeing Yanis, Florence was a little surprised at first, then was relieved the heart was pending.
Great, she imagined it was a paparazzi coming to take pictures, but fortunately it was Yanis.
Yanis approached them with a depressed expression and stopped when they were some distance away. He bit his lower lip again and again.
-I didn’t want to listen to your conversation. I was in the bathroom, and I happened to overhear you two talking when I came out. I… I’m sorry for interrupting you.
He explained the situation clearly so as not to make Zain misunderstand that he still hadn’t forgotten.
Zain frowned slightly and gave a look on his face.
Yanis’ scalp tightened, he quickly lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, not daring to look at Zain at all.
-It’s okay,” Florence smiled frankly, without the embarrassment of being interrupted, and even reached over to hug Yanis’ shoulders. I heard that we were overheard and I thought it was a paparazzi. Fortunately, it was you. It’s okay that she’s an acquaintance. But next time she can come right in and she doesn’t have to be so restrained and nervous.
Yanis could only nod awkwardly.
There was an awkward atmosphere around them, although Florence was not embarrassed at all, but Yanis was.
If she came across that it had been that someone was confessing, she could simply ignore it, but the other part was Zain. How could she turn a blind eye?
Thinking about it, Yanis said hastily.
-Well, then you go on. Me, I’m going now.
Probably due to nervousness, Yanis could not even speak so fluently that he felt awkward like a child learning the language.
After uttering those words mumbling, Yanis smiled shyly to Florence and then prepared to leave.
At that moment, Zain suddenly spoke.
-Wait.
Yanis paused and his heart beat much sooner. Did he want to blame her? Otherwise… he wouldn’t ask her to leave.
However, after waiting a long time, Zain didn’t speak at all. Florence didn’t know why either. She only looked at Zain and saw that his gaze was always fixed on Yanis. She blinked and suddenly understood something.
-Do you have something to talk about? Then I won’t bother you.
After finishing, Florence left lightly. The agent was waiting for her not far away, and when he saw her coming, he began to complain quietly.
-I said, “Really, aren’t you afraid of being recorded if you say such things in a place like this? Putting it on the Internet is enough to be slandered.
-Who’s going to slander me? Will it be worth it if I pursue a man I like? Then the three views of this world are too strange. Is it any wonder that only men can chase women?
Agent replied, -You really want to piss me off! Come on!
Before leaving, Florence couldn’t help but look back at Yanis and Zain, which was significant.
Yanis received her glance. His scalp remained numb. No one gave a voice.
Zain left her, but remained silent. Yanis only felt a gaze glued to the top of her head, and it hadn’t left for a long time.
She was so nervous that she could only take the initiative to break the silence.
-Sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop really.
