"Everyone here..."
Long Yiyi was busy giving out an invitation to the crew.
"Please, attend my birthday."
Despite she knew some of the staff are on bad terms with her, she thought this was the only way she could ensure her popularity won't die.
Long Yiyi approached the duo who could affect the entry party, she acts charming hoping to win both of them. "Junior Li Zi, Bro Ming, I hope you two will be there on my birthday. A lot of my friends are your fans."
Elizabeth rarely attends a party like this since people she does not want to be with are always there, arrogant, spoilt heiresses. Especially, it's Long Yiyi's birthday. Surely something bad will happen, "I'll try…"
"If she's going, then I'm going." Huang Ming directly said as he handed the invitation back to Long Yiyi.
Hearing the man's automatically reject her invitation made Long Yiyi furious since most of her friends really want to meet him. But the fact he'll only attend because of the sl*t made her enraged inside.
"Then, Junior Li Zi you must come." Long Yiyi grabs hold of Li Zi's hands acting all innocent as she pleads her case.
Elizabeth ponders for a moment, she clearly senses the girl is up to no good. But seeing the crew were all looking at them if she denies the girl's invitation people might think she has a grudge against her.
"Fine…"
Long Yiyi cheered in delight, "Junior Li Zi don't worry... I promise you'll have a good time at the party."
The two of them left after getting the invitation to prepare for the next take leaving Long Yiyi alone.
Once they disappeared, Long Yiyi felt like puking.
'That b*tch she clearly has bewitched Huang Ming. To think he'll go that far to reject my invitation for her. Has he forgotten who I am and who he is? Even though he may be more famous than me but my family is far more powerful than his.'
Long Yiyi quickly handed the rest of the invitation to the crew, despite some of them reject it and made reasons that they already have planned. She continued to plead and hope they can make it.

Imperial Garden Plaza
On the eve of Long Yiyi's party, news headlines about her birthday have spread. The fact she is dating one of the sons of the Yuns, people are expecting a grand surprise.
"Li Zi are you really going?" Jackie asked as she watched the girl picked out dresses in her closet.
"I have no choice, Bro Ming won't attend if I'm not there," she answered, as she showed the dress she picked out to Jackie.
"Try that one…" she pointed at another dress, "I'm sure that b*tch will do something to you."
"Don't worry, Bro Ming will be there." The girl puts the dress on the Jackie selected and asked. "What do you think?"
Jackie laughed seeing how the girl looked, "You might steal the spotlight from her, anyway, that's the simplest dress we could find and you won't go shopping."
"No need to waste money on such an occasion." Elizabeth replied as she took off the dress.
Jackie mumbled to herself, "But I wanted to go shopping."
The girl turned around and looked directly at her, "Did you say anything?"
Jackie was surprised and chuckled.
"...Nothing."
After getting dressed back to her casual cloth, the girl walked out of her walk-in and grab her phone.
"Bro Ming, sorry to trouble you late at night."
The person on the other end was jumping in delight hearing the girl's voice, "No, it's fine... Is something wrong?"
"About tomorrow, I just want to let you know I'm having my hair and makeup done at Oasis so you can pick me up there," Elizabeth explained as she tries to run away from Jackie who was trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Huang Ming boldly asked, "Sure, would you like me to bring you something to eat?"
Elizabeth was having a hard time answering Huang Ming when Jackie continued to pull her phone, "No, that's fine Bro Ming."
"Alright, I'll see you then." Huang Ming replied.
Elizabeth was getting annoyed with Jackie's childishness and said, "Goodnight, Bro Ming."
Meanwhile, a man was happy jumping around his apartment after receiving the call. He didn't expect the girl to agree to be his date again, despite the fact that he actually does not want to go for he feels like something might happen during the party. The fact Long Yiyi hates Li Zi so much, he must be careful and watch her carefully.
...
The next day
It was around 3 PM when a red sports car parked in front of Oasis, a lot of girls outside were screaming.
The man walked out of his car carrying a paper bag and two cups of cold drinks.
Inside the salon, the customer and the staff were all looking outside.
Elizabeth just came out of the washroom and her hair was all drench when she notices everyone looking outside.
"What's going on?"
Before anyone could answer her, a man walked inside the shop. All eyes were fixed on the man that just step inside the shop.
"Bro Ming."
Elizabeth was surprised to see the man appearing all of a sudden.
The man ignored everyone and walked towards the girl. "Here, I brought you a latte frappe and some cakes."
"Thank Bro Ming, but aren't you a bit early?" She grabs the frappe and started drinking it. "I just finished washing my hair."
Seeing the girl drink the frappe he brought, brought a big smile on his face, "It's fine…"
People inside the shop could not stop and gossip about them, some even took a picture secretly and started posting it online.
The two ignored everything since they've already clarified with their company they'll be attending a party today.
By the waiting area, the man was completely in a daze as he watches the girl being transformed.
"Bro Ming, I'll get changed now." Elizabeth got up from her seat and went to a changing room.
The man could only nod, for his heart was skipping at a rapid pace already, despite the girl was not even dress up yet. Whilst waiting for the girl to come out, the man's knees were trembling as he anticipates the girl final look.
"Bro Ming…"
The girl was dressed in a Black Bodycon Backless Mini Dress. Medium-weight stretch, but shapes a princess-seamed bodice with scalloped detail that travels from the apron neckline all the way to the sultry, open back. Adjustable skinny straps cross at the back above a bodycon skirt (which means it fitted). Pairing it with a black suede lace-up heels; single sole heels, have a peep-toe upper, strappy vamp, and long laces with gold aglets that tie around the ankle. It was 3.5 inches tall, making her the perfect height next to Huang Ming. And lastly, Gold Rhinestone Layered Choker Necklace in three layers.
It was not only Huang Ming who was taken aback but also everyone else inside the shop. The dress looked simple yet the way she wore it made it looked breathtaking.
Huang Ming approached Li Zi with such dreaming pride and said, "You look beautiful."
"Shall we..." Elizabeth replied as she prepared herself for the worst that could happen.
