If she doesn’t go, she won’t know when she will be able to meet him again. However, deep inside her heart, it might because of Orson’s words that cause her have some eagerness to meet him.
But if she goes….
Thinking of what might happen, Lily is not confident. She is afraid that Rex will still ignore her. For the reason that once she faced him, she is too nervous to say anything.
An idea pops up on her mind. She gets up from the sofa and runs to the cloakroom on the second floor. Inside, she finds autumn clothes given by Rex before. She looks at it for quite a while, then takes out a thin black wool suit and poses in front of a mirror. The model and size suits her well. Black suits well with white, which add maturity to her.
She dresses into it and spins around, and feels satisfied.
She hasn’t met Rex for quite some time now. She wonders how he would react when seeing her.
Shocked?
Or surprised?
Thinking of that, Lily grits her teeth secretly. No matter what happen tonight, no matter if she could meet him or not, she decides to give it a shot. Owing to the sacrifices that he had made a lot of for her. Just like what Orson said, sometimes one should bow their head for other.
….
At eight o’clock in the evening, Lily arrives at the gate of the River Club.
When she gets off from the taxi, she doesn’t even bother to take the change. Looking at the extremely artistic building in front of her, Lily seems uneasy.
Lily, who had been impulsively come here, yet now acting like a wimp.
But now that she has arrived, there will be no turning back. She is just one step away from the door and doesn’t want to back out easily.
Lily walks towards the club but is stopped by the two guards on the door. One of them asks her politely, “Madam, please show your membership.”
Membership?
Lily is a little embarrassed. Orson doesn’t tell her in the first place that this was a membership-based club.
Not to mention membership, she even had never come here before!
Lily clears her throat and reasons the truth but with an affection. “Sorry, I came to find someone. I will come out as soon as I found my friend.”
The guard smiles apologetically, “Sorry, we can’t let you in without a membership. You can call your friend to pick you up.”
If he wants to pick me up, why should she come here?
Why is it so hard to meet him?
Plastering a smile on her face, Lily softens her voice and acts like a spoiled child, “Can’t you just let me in. I don’t even look like a bad girl, I can’t do anything. If you still don’t believe me you can follow me….”
When Lily is talking, a black shadow came over behind her and the two guards shout respectfully, “Mr. Rex!”
Not only is her smile, even her body stiffened. She doesn’t expect to meet him this early. Did he hear all of her conversation just now?
If she play dumb like just meeting him by chance and found out by him, would he make fun of her?
Lily takes a deep breath, and when she turns around, her heartbeat soared disorderly. A straight figure with a suit matching with a black leather shoes comes into her vision. If he isn’t the one that she miss, who else?
However, Rex is like encounter a stranger. His vision sways on her body and soon look away. He says in a cold tone, “Move.”
Perhaps it is because of his cold tone or his strange vision that cause Lily subconsciously takes a step back. When she is back to her sense, he has disappeared.
