Chapter 34 - Oh It's You

Ethan subconsciously walked towards the beauty in front of him. While everyone's eyes were glued to the two beautiful and elegant figures, Ethan only looked at Sera.

Nobody knew the identity of the lady in bloody red, but everyone recognized the CEO of Lee holdings, Ethan Lee.

Ethan whispered softly, "You're looking beautiful, Miss Lu"

Perplexed Sera glanced at the man in front of her, he was dressed in a clean cut royal blue color suit, his face adorned a face mask of the same color. His brown eyes shining, he looked handsome but mysterious.

Seeing Sera's reaction, Ethan shook his head and took her hand in his hand and looked into her eyes.

"Don't tell me you forgot me so soon! Just yesterday you held this hand", he lightly kissed the back of her hand.

Sera looked at Ethan and sighed.

"Oh it's you? Sorry.. I was nervous just now!"

"I know, probably your first time at such a place"

"Yeah", Sera nodded her head.

"Let me take you to your family", Ethan escorted her like a gentleman earning curious gazes.

Zhang Lili was accompanied by her father Zhang Hongmin, She was standing near the bar counter and watching Ethan and Sera's interaction. Subconsciously she tightened her hold on the wine glass and glared daggers at Sera's retreating figure.

Zhang Lili was dressed in a stunning midnight black gown, It was a sexy piece of garment accentuating her curves. She looked like a vixen in her gown paired with the mask, her fox like eyes glistening under the chandeliers.

Liu Li was aslo watching everything from the sidelines, her father Liu Chenmin, had told her to observe the situation. It was rumored that Lucifer will also be present tonight. So Liu Li's hawk like eyes were scanning the place to search for Lucifer.

She had not seen him since last 10 months, She missed him, her love, her Lucifer.

Sera was Ethan when Su Yin emerged out of nowhere and shocked Sera, she staggered when a strong hand held her, Sera looked at Ethan and smiled awkwardly. Standing straight Sera glared at Su Yin while the latter smiled sheepishly. Seeing her friend's reaction Sera knew that she was upto no good.

"You guys chat. I have to go now", Ethan excused himself.

"Okay"

"Take care, Don't fall when I'm not around", Ethan smirked before walking away"

Su Yin laughed softly at Ethan's words while Sera

was red in embarrassment matching her gown.

Ethan left the two ladies alone and walked towards the other side of the hall, the gala was soon going to begin. Ethan was nervous but tried to remain nonchalant.

Lucifer was walking down the stairs looking at a particular figure, his eyes burning with an unknown desire. His mouth was dry, his throat was hoarse. He grabbed the wine from a waiter who was passing by him, he gulped the whole thing while his gaze was boring a hole into Sera. She was talking and laughing with Su Yin, her laughter was like bells chiming, her giggles were sweet, her smile was alluring.

Lucifer was in a trance when everyone's attention was grabbed by the emcee on the stage.

"Welcome to the annual charity gala, It is an honor for us to have you all esteemed guests here", everyone clapped their hands.

"This year we are here to celebrate the funds raised by the annual charity gala amounting to 100 billion dollars, As you all know the main project is given to the Lee's and Zhang's. I'd like to invite Mr. Ethan Lee to say a few words",

"Thank you, Everyone! I'm honored to be a part of this esteemed project for the welfare of our society and betterment of our people, I'd like the cooperation of the Zhang's to achieve best results", Ethan occupied the centre stage and spoke confidently.

Soon after the charity gala was commenced which was no less than a banquet, It was just a celebration for the funds raised for the welfare projects.

The lights of the dancefloor were dimmed and music began, just as Sera turned her head to look for Su Yin she was suddenly whisked away by a strong hand to the centre stage where the lights were particularly dim.
