Chapter 31 - You are not just my personal assistant, you are my Little Cat.

The class got started. Lifen was sitting in between Deming and Fei Hong. She was unknown about the things going between the two boy sitting on both of her sides. After every couple of minutes they were glaring at each other.

Soon the class got over, Lifen stood up and looked at Deming. "What?",Deming said with a confused look. Lifen gave him an expected look and turned towards Fei Hong.

Fei Hong smiled at her and obediently stood up to give her way to walk out. Deming was again annoyed. He had never come across with this gesture before because it was his first time on the three sitter bench. Back in his school days, he had a separate classroom exclusive for him. And in his graduation days, he only went to give the examinations that too in exclusive room. This time he is attending these classes just to be with Lifen.

"You could have asked me. I would have stood up to give you the way out", Deming pouted. "It was nothing to ask, just a social etiquette ", Fei Hong scoffed.

Seeing the atmosphere turning odd and remembering the terms of contract Lifen said softly, "It's nothing serious. I don't wanna trouble you". Daiyu jumped near her and put her hand on Lifen's shoulder, "Let's go and have lunch, dear. It's already time".

Lifen nodded and clung on Guang's arm, "Yeah ,let's go. I am very much hungry".

"Can I join you three for lunch", Fei Hong asked politely. Lifen nodded in acceptance. They headed towards the canteen area when Deming interrupted in the mid way, "Little Cat, I think you have left something or should I say you have forgotten something ".

Everyone who were already staring at Deming for a quite long time were again ready for some interesting drama. The girls already knew that it is impossible between them and the prince charming so they can only replace Lifen with themselves in their imagination.

Ignoring every girl's adoring gazes, Deming's eyes were fixed on Lifen. He stood up and walked swiftly to her, "Did you remember anything?:

Lifen instantly recalled the terms of the contract 'Lunch and Dinner with the Boss'. She flunge away her hand which were clinging on Guang and Daiyu and broke out the words, "You three can head first. I will have my lunch with him".

Daiyu and Guang understood what was happening but Fei Hong was confused with the sudden change in Lifen's behaviour. Daiyu wanted to curse Deming hard but at this moment she can only tie her tongue tight.

They headed towards the canteen leaving Lifen and Deming behind. "So we can also head towards the canteen for lunch", Lifen asked.

"Why?" Deming said in a mocking tone. What does he mean by this? Wasn't we already talking about the lunch? What up with his strange attitude? Lifen was confused.

"Let's go", Deming said while walking a few steps ahead of her. Lifen was struck for some moments but after some seconds she followed Deming leaving everyone stupefied.

After few steps walking Deming stopped, "Why are you walking behind?" he pulled her with her wrist, " You should walk beside me"

"Huh...but as far as I know, employee especially personal assistant should walk behind their Boss", Lifen said in a polite tone.

He looked into her eyes and said in a soft tone, "You are not just my personal assistant, you are my Little Cat".

Lifen was mesmerized. Her heart was beating faster than usual but this time it was not because of her nervousness around him. It was her first time not being nervous around her.

After getting her senses back, she back some of her steps away from Deming but she didn't notice that there was unequal platform behind her. Her foot was placed in the wrong way at that moment she got unbalanced. She was about to fall but a warm wide palm grabbed her waist, "Why are you so careless?"

The heartbeat again got faster. She got scared with the way her heart is behaving. She straightened herself and said in a stammering tone, "We should leave now".

She was about step but suddenly her ankle gave her a piercing pain, "Ouch!".

"What happened? Are you alright?" Deming asked her in a concerned tone. His eyes showed the deep clouds of worry. "I am sorry. I think I sprained my ankle. I can't walk any further ,you can go and have your lunch", Lifen said with pain in her eyes.

The next moment she was up in the air, in the warm arms of Deming. "You don't have to do this. Just call my friends. They will help me get home", Lifen said haste.

Deming acted as if he didn't hear anything. He walked straight to the parking lot to get his car. He gently placed Lifen in the car, put on the seatbelts for her and returned back to the driver's seat. Lifen was still in her position, she was scared with the way her heart was acting around Deming.

He took out his phone and dialed a number, "Murphy , I am heading to Imperial Hospital. Inform Dr.Collin to be there". Murphy was dumbfounded but before he could ask anything, the call was already being disconnected.

Lifen was also taken aback with Deming's behavior but she couldn't say anything because her talks was continuously being ignored by him.
