Chapter 25 - My Mysterious Man

Lucifer was momentarily stunned looking at Sera's beautiful face, her tear stained face looked so pitiful that Lucifer's heart clenched, he felt his knuckles turn white with the pressure of his fists.

She was looking so frail but beautiful in an unique way, seeing her like this Lucifer wanted to protect her, he wanted to hold her, embrace her and kiss her till she's out of breathe.

Shocked by his wild thoughts he closed his eyes to calm himself and opened them again.

Sera looked at him wide eyed, He looked familiar and Sera knew who he was, surprised Sera reached her hand to hold his hand to see his tattoo and confirm her suspicions.

Lucifer stared at her hand and felt his throat dry, he didn't know why he felt so scared. Scared? Scared of what? He questioned himself in his head. Just as she was about to grab his hand the door flung open.

Shocked Sera retracted her hand, Lucifer hid at the back of the door.

Seeing him hiding Sera understood his concern and instinctively she called out to the woman who opened the door.

Lucifer looked at her, she ignored him and tried to get up. With the help of the woman Sera went out and paused. Looking back at the door she smiled and walked away.

Lucifer breathed in relief and looked in the direction where Sera had fallen down, he sweeped a steady glance when he found something shining.

He touched to see what it was and found Sera's cellphone. He glanced at the door, then back to the phone in his hand. He tried to turn it on, but found that it was probably out of battery.

Smiling he kept it inside his pocket and opened the door, and sneaked out.

Sera was limping when she came out of the mall. She looked inside her purse and found her cellphone missing. Sighing, she hailed a cab and went home.

Sitting inside the cab she thought back to things she had experienced today. It was too frightening what if she was trapped in there forever. Sera felt her hands turn cold and back covered in cold sweat, when she thought about the possibility.

Sera was looking out of the window when suddenly she was reminded of the man who was with her. She couldn't remember how he found her or what happened. Sera tried hard to recall, but to no avail.

She felt something indescribable and her lips curled into a sweet smile. "My Mysterious Man"

Ethan was in his office when Assistant Chen came in, his forehead covered in sweat.

"Hmm CEO that.. Miss Zhang is here", he said softly.

"What is it this time?", Ethan was amused by her persistence.

"Huh? Oh.. That.. She wants to have lunch with you. She's brought takeout with her", shocked by his boss's sudden question Chen was lost but quickly answered him in a calm voice.

"Tell her I'm busy"

"Yes CEO", He hurriedly went away.

Zhang Lili was waiting at the lounge for assistant Chen to come and take her to Ethan. She had brought his favorite dumplings and seafood dishes from a renowned restaurant. She wanted to impress him, spend some alone time with him.

Seeing assistant Chen coming her way Zhang Lili storm up smiling and took a step towards Ethan's office.

"Miss Zhang, The CEO is busy. Let me see you out"

listening to his words Zhang Lili felt an indescribable pain in her chest, glaring at Chen she stomped her feet and walked out.

Assistant Chen was feeling amused seeing the princess throwing tantrums and snickered. "Serves you right, witch"

Sera entered her room limping when Lu Shanshan came in, looking at her daughter limping in pain she grabbed her hand and gently pushed her to the couch.

She asked Aunt Zhou to get salt soaked in a tub of warm water, and warm towels.

After cleaning her feet with warm towel, Lu Shanshan soaked her feet into the warm water and chided her.

"Are you a 2 year old kid? How can you fall so easily? What if it was something big? A fracture perhaps!"

Seeing her mother like this Sera was scared to face her and lowered her head looking at her feet. Lu Shanshan softened when she saw Sera looking like a wronged child and patted her head slowly.

"I'll get you some soup, take care. Don't make mother worry", Sera nodded her head and smiled.
