Lifen was left alone with Jie in the meeting room while Erica has brought the others to let them know about the coming competition programmes that would be launched by the Li Corporations.
In the room alone with Lifen, Jie couldn't help but feel her body trembling. Though there was complete silence in the room, but something was there that was making her feel the goosebumps coming on her flesh.
"Just kill the chase now. Why were you asking to be alone here? We know exactly what you are? You don't have to pretend anymore", Jie asked in a half yell and tremblimg voice.
Opposite to her anxiousness, Lifen was at very ease. She let out a chuckle when heard the woman's words. Though she was trying hard to come strong in front of her, she knew she was failing terribly.
"What am I exactly, Ms.Long? Do you think everyone is like you who loves to pretend?", Lifen raised her brows slightly on her, her eyes turning more sharp and calculative.
The air around Jie got shrouded with freezing chillness making her bones go stiff right after words.
"W-What do you mean? Don't raise false accusations. You don't have any proofs so...", her voiced died down immediately when Lifen's breathed out to interrupt her.
"False accusations! Really? I must say you know how to create a good web of fake stories. But there is a piece of advice, if you care to listen then it would definitely be better for your future", she paused as she passed on the sealed packed bottle of mineral water to Jie.
"When you build your web of fake stories, just check once whether that story didn't get yourself trapped into it, leaving you with no escape points", she added.
Jie was still confident in her way. She thought there was no way in which Lifen could put her hands on the evidence of real truth. She had always been careful with this matter leaving behind no trace of her lies or how could the great Wang Deming could let her slip away?
Thinking it this way, she boasted herself and gave a smug look to Lifen.
"Whether it's web of lies or not, do you think anyone is going to believe you? Talk when you have some substantial evidence in your hands. Don't just joke around because you are the overnight turned CEO of the fashion giant, Li Corporation ", saying this she stood up to leave the room immediately.
The sharp look of Lifen was making her suffocate in the closed space. Above all there was no lie in Lifen's words.
She was about to turn the door knob to get out of the room but all her hopes and boastings got shattered when heard the firm voice of Lifen.
"And who said that I don't have the evidence to prove your lies?" Her words were firm and her attitude was nonchalant. Her long beautiful slender fingers were playing leisurely with the gold paperweight on the table.
"What did you say?", Jie asked turning back towards her. "How can that be possible?"
"What do you think? I can ask my assistant to give you the contact details of best psychiatrist and ear specialist. They would definitely help you out with your problems. What say?" Her lips curled up giving off a sarcastic smile.
"What exactly you know? What evidence do you have? There is no way I have left any traces behind", it was really very unbelievable to her.
When Deming couldn't point his finger on her lies, she thought that no one could ever. But now suddenly the woman in front of her was telling her that she has got her hands on the evidence.
"You can't be just joking around like this", she huffed in agitation.
"Do you think me that free headed? But it's totally up to you whether you believe it or not. Let me tell you one thing, don't take my patience as my weakness. I haven't revealed it yet that doesn't mean I won't in future. And above that don't try out my bottom line", she said with an expressionless face.
"How?" Jie asked inable to the suspense anymore.
"Sorry but I don't think I owe you any explanation", she said as she stood up and brushed up her fingers on the soft wavy hazel brown hairs, pushing it behind her shoulders.
"Show me the evidence or I won't...", Jie tried to bargain but was silenced when got an amused expression in return.
"I never told you to believe me or believe my words Ms.Long . And let me tell you something interesting, the evidence is something that you won't be able to destroy even in your dreams, so hold reins of your evil thoughts"
Jie was at the loss of reasons. She was desperate to know the evidence.
Still she can't believe, the mere appearance of some girl will ruin all her happiness and dreams.
She has took so much hardsh.i.p.s to gain Deming on her side. But the moment Lifen appeared in her life, he was snatched away. Her studio which was doing good before was now facing the severe problem without any guidance from Deming.
No matter what she think, the only reason behind all this seems to be Lifen and only Lifen. The cause of all her vulnerability and humiliation.
"What do you want me to do? You have snatched everything away. What more do you want from me?" Jie asked. Her eyes turning fiercer. But it didn't cause any effect on the woman, on whom it was directed.
But there was a change in Lifen's expression. She took her steps dangerously close to the woman who has accused her. There was no way, she was going to take this.
Looking deep into her eyes she said, "There is no such thing that I wish to snatch from you. And I firmly believe the saying, the people and the things that are destined to you will never leave your side even if the whole earth takes the turn of upside-down"
