Chapter 58 - You Know Her?

Slowly, Samual coaxed Zirui out of the room with a hand around her waist. Taking slow steps, Zirui stared at him with watery eyes and grinned drunkenly," Sam? Are you going to take advantage of me and that is why you have me drunk? Hmm?"

The statement caused Samual to stiffen as he stared in suspicion at Zirui. Suddenly he wondered if she had caught onto him and all this as just an act to test him. Quickly, he pulled away his support from her waist and stared at her hard, trying to gauge her responses. The sudden loss of support caused Zirui to loose her balance and shrieking in fear, she fell to the floor with a thud."

"Ow!!Ow! Ow! Samual! How could you drop me like this? Wuah! Wuah!"

Before Samual could return to his senses," Zirui had started to cry on the top of her voice, creating a ruckus as she sobbed," My boyfriend dropped me on the floor! Other people's boyfriends carry them in their arms and my boyfriend won't even support me! Wooo Hooo.."

By now, other patrons had started checking out of their private room, disturbed at the sight of it. Apologizing to everyone, Samual immediately bent down and picked Zirui in his arms in a bridal carry and started to walk out of the place hurriedly. Staring up at the man, Zirui first smiled at Samual complimenting," My boyfriend is so strong." And the next moment, she used all her meager strength and punched the man on his shoulder causing him to wince. Not satisfied with the punch, Zirui then poked at his shoulders continuously marveling at his wonderful muscles making Samual angry by the minute. Finally, when she poked his shoulder too hard, Samual brought her down and pushed her against a wall," If you hurt me one more time, I will make everything more difficult for you! So much so that you will want to die rather than live. Understood?"

This time, Samual failed to hide his true face and the sinister aura that he usually concealed well was exposed in front on Zirui, frightening her into an even more muddled state. Perturbed and a sense of self protection arising in her, she moved nearer to the wall and asked softly, "Who...who are you?" She had come to associate Samual with gentleness and this sudden change seemed too unacceptable to her brain making her more and more scared subconsciously. 

Coming back to his senses, Samual immediately calmed down, becoming aware of his surroundings. Composing himself, he tried to hold her but this time Zirui pushed him away. Not expecting sudden aggression, Samual slipped and lost his balance while Zirui used this chance to escape. Running down the corridor, Zirui reached the washroom just in time to empty the contents of her stomach. After a bout of severe vomiting, Zirui was now at her weakest as she tried to walk out. 

The moment she staggered out, Zirui was caught by Samual who was back with his mask of gentleness. "Zizi? Are you feeling too unwell. It is my fault. I should have been more careful. With you like this, I cannot help worry about your well being. And I cannot leave you alone. I have booked a room, right here in this hotel. Come with me. I will watch over you for tonight."

Having forgotten the frightening moment, Zirui looked into Samual's eyes trustingly and let him guide her towards the elevator. As the elevator doors opened and the two people entered, Zirui leaned against him trustingly and closed her eyes. While Zirui remained unaware of another man in the elevator, Samual ignored the man dressed in a loose t shirt and jeans as an unimportant passerby. 

Thus he failed to notice the man's sudden attention on them when Zirui started to talk.

"Samual! I wanted to accept your confession today! I wanted to tell you that I accept your proposal and am willing to be your girlfriend. Then how come I got so drunk? How is this fair? The food here in this hotel is horrible! Now instead of all the sweet memories of our first day as boyfriend and girlfriend, I am going to only remember being drunk and nauseous. How is this fair?"

Before Samual could explain, the man behind whispered," Miss, then you can simply decided to accept his confession on a later date. Then the two of you can enjoy your first day as boyfriend and girlfriend. What do you think , miss?" The man asked with a bewitching smile. Being interrupted by a sudden stranger made Samual scowl while Zirui opened her eyes and looked at the man carefully. Letting go of Samual, she squinted her eyes and leaned in close to the man, trying to see his face carefully. But she could see two of them... Swaying, she poked the strange man's shoulder and grinned up at him," You are right, misters!" She then poked at the air on his side continuing," You both are right and quite smart! I like talking to smart people."

The elevator came to an abrupt halt just then, causing Zirui to loose her balance and fall into the arms of the strange man. The man caught hold of the girl and smiled gently as he said," I like talking to smart girls as well. But miss, I think your new boyfriend does not like you talking to me."

Zirui turned around at this and grinned up at the two Samual's adorably pouting," Samual! I cannot be your girlfriend yet! But I promise to accept you next time."

Glaring at the strange man who was holding his pawn so possessively, Samual's voice was a cold warning to the man," Mister. I suggest you take your hands off my girlfriend and let us go. This is our floor."

The other man, however was not affected by the threatening aura and grinned insolently," The girl just said that she is not your girlfriend yet! So, I think it is alright to hold her."

"Awwww.." But Zirui was not in a stable state of mind and directly slapped the man's chest, "Hey! Just because he is not my boyfriend yet, does not mean that I do not like him! I like him a lot... I think!"

Just then the elevator doors started to close and without a word, Samual snatched Zirui by the wrist and forcefully pulled her out of the elevator. But the other man was also not willing to give up and simply ended grabbing the pretty girl's other slender wrist trying to pull her closer making it into a game of tug of war. As Zirui was pulled in both directions, her dizziness seemed to be increasing by the minute. The elevator doors started to close again and both men pressed the buttons on their side to stop it while continuing to pull her with the other. Finally, wobbling and off balanced, Zirui tried to shake off both the men, while the strange man used this momentum to push away Samual and immediately pressed the button to close the door while Samual fell back on his bu** so that by the time he was able to get up, the elevator doors had already closed and the elevator started to climb down.

His prey snatched out of his hand, he watched the numbers change on the board as he made a call," A woman and a man are coming down by Elevator two. Beat up the man and catch the girl. Don't let her escape!" Dam* it! He should have drugged her with an aphrodisiac and fuc*** her instead of just getting her drunk! Why did he have to think about that silly girl? She would not even have known any difference. Racing towards the door to the stairs, Samual started to climb down the floors, thus missing the fact that the elevator stopped for a moment at a middle floor.

As Zirui was guided out of the elevator, she blinked up and finally remembered the name of the man, ,"Gyeom! Why are you both not letting me go with Samual?"

Gyeom looked down at the girl in her arms who had no idea that she had been in danger and said," Don't worry! I have no ill intentions towards you! There was someone who wanted to see you." 

Pouting, and ignoring the second part of the statement, Zirui complained, "Why are you being like this? You must have some ill intentions towards me Gyeom! You are my favorite and bias wrecker of all the time."

Gyeom grinned down at the cute girl and pinched her cheeks sweetly," You are too sweet, my star! So who else is your bias that I have wrecked?"

Looking down with a blush, she brought up one finger and showed," See, first my bias was K, but then you wrecked it.. Then my bias was you, but I.M wrecked it! Then it was Felix and then again you wrecked it! And to top it off, you had pizza with me and were really so sweet! So how could you say that you have no bad intentions for me? you have a little at least please?"
