Seducing The Ice Queen

As the days turned into weeks, Mou Zirui went on multiple dates with Samual Faye and slowly started to open up to the idea of being in a relationship. His sincerity and gentlemanly behavior made her feel comfortable spending time with him. As she dressed up for their fifth date, she wondered if she should answer the question that he had asked her every time they met. She cocked her head, flipping her hair to the side. She had to acknowledge that she did not feel a spark with him, but that could be because he had not tried to get too close to her. Maybe she should give him a hint to get closer tonight and check if they would be suitable that way also. She was curious about this.. She opened the top two buttons of her shirt dress, wanting to look sexy. But then shook her head and did the buttons again. Too sexy was not good also. Letting her hair fall around her small face a bit messily, she decided that she looked different from her usually sweet look. She looked a teeny bit naughty. Well, this was good. After all she was going to say yes to dating Samual seriously. She was going to be nineteen soon and needed to experience relationships. Grabbing her purse and phone, she booked a cab for herself to go to the restaurant. Though she had a car of her own, she hated to drive and usually preferred public transport. But another reason was that she liked it when Samual offered to drive her home. They used to get more time to chat like that.

At the other side of the city, Alice leaned back in her chair and stretched her legs in front of her. Ahh! She was so tired. And she needed to work some more. She turned her head towards the bedroom, wanting to catch sleep, but then the pile of work in front of her clearly told her that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

Sighing, she had just gotten back to work when her phone rang loudly. Looking down, she saw the caller id and answered the phone with a smile. "So you have finally landed?"

Adam's voice, that never failed to send a shiver through her answered," Yeah, babe. We are back and I am very disappointed in you. I am back after so long and you did not even come to the airport to greet me. How can you be so heartless to your boyfriend?"

Smiling and unintentionally training her hair around her fingers, Alice could not help but tease back, "There are many of your girlfriends at the airport. Some fan wives too. I do not want to be killed and torn apart by them. So I would rather we meet in private or not meet at all. Let me tell you Adam Perry, if I see you outside in a public place, I will refuse to acknowledge you. I have seen the power of your fans first hand and have no intention of being their target."

At this moment, even though she had said in a teasing tone, Alice had seen for herself the strength of this band and had no intention of shooting her own foot. Their sales and bookings after every episode of SKY's variety show was aired shot out of the roof and the locations were over booked. She had assumed that most of their fans would be teenage girls but this was not the case. Only teenage girls would not have such spending power. Naturally they were more far reaching than she guessed.

Changing the topic, she asked, "So, are you set for going on tour?"

"Hmm, we have been practicing hard. The album will be released this week and then we will be setting off the next week. I want to see you before that baby."

"How about tomorrow? Let's meet for the day."

As Alice disconnected the call, she wonders why she had offered to spend the day with him. They could have simply met over lunch or dinner. Well. But since she had already set it, she would have to abide by it. And for this reason, she would now have to pull an all nighter.

Her phone started to ring again and she wondered what Adam had to tell her now. But it was Ximin. Answering the call, her eyebrows climbed as she heard and immediately stood up. "Ximin, ask them to keep an eye, I will be there."

"Dam* it. What was that man up to now?"

Ever since that night at Grandma Ye's place, Samual had been abnormally quiet. He had made no moves to sabotage her deal with the Mou's or create any more obstacles in her way. The man had been minding his own business. She was not so silly as to think that Samual as satisfied with the money that Grandma had left him. But suddenly he had made his move tonight. What was unclear was who was the target and why were Samual's people on a move suddenly?

Samuel had a group of people rather goons who would do all the illegal things for him. Since she had no plans for tonight, bit was clear that his target was someone else. This was the perfect moment to gather evidence against him. 

Zirui entered the private room and smiled at the man who stood up at her entrance. Like a true gentleman, Samual walked forward and extended a hand before complimenting, "You look exceptionally beautiful tonight Zizi."

Feeling shy, a small blush appeared on her face, "Thank you. You look very handsome as well."

And it was true. Even though he was not very muscular, she felt that he was even more handsome every time she saw him. Laughing at her compliment, Samual guided her to a chair as he hid the triumph in his eyes. He had the girl firmly in his grasp now. He could see it in her eyes and the way she was dressed. Standing close, he bent down and whispered near her ear,"Zizi, thank you for your compliment." And placed a kiss near her ear, making her blush even more red.

As he sat opposite her, he pressed a button on the side and soon a bottle of wine was brought in, followed by an array of sea food dishes.

Looking at the spread, Zirui asked," Are we having a celebration?"

Sending an intent gaze her way, Samual commented, "Having the pleasure to be able to have dinner with you is worthy of celebration itself. Do I need another reason?"

Slowly, Samual and Zirui continued with their dinner and unknowingly, Zirui started to get more and more inebriated. As her face flushed and vision turned hazy, Zirui started to feel uncomfortable. Excusing herself, she stood up to go to the washroom, but feeling the world spin, she almost fell face down. Opportunely, she was caught by Samual who held her tightly in his embrace. Looking down with a concerned face, he said, "You don't look well, Zizi. Let me take you home."

Zizi blinked her large moist eyes at him and seeing the concern on his face nodded her head. I don't know what happened. I feel drunk. But I have only had a glass of wine. I guess my tolerance is too low." Samual smiled down at the girl in his arms, "Yes. Seems like it. I must prevent my Zizi from drinking too much in the future." Zirui, who had been sheltered could never have imagined that she had been drugged by a person she was considering to become her boyfriend. Once able to stand upright, she let Samual guide her out of the private room.

Still on the other side of the town, Ximin called Alice, saying," Alice. Samual is not here yet! I have a feeling that this is a trap. This time we received the information too smoothly. I think you should not come here for now."

Alice was already halfway there when she received this message. But she knew she could not ignore Ximin's intuition. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and decided to use the one talent that she had kept hidden. Opening the browser, she started typing numbers and characters at a speed and soon she was able to track the man's phone. Frowning when she noticed that the man was at present in a hotel that was on the other side of where he was supposed to be, she came to the conclusion that Ximin was right, it was most certainly a trap.

Throwing aside her phone, she urgently turned around the car and started to drive towards the hotel that showed on the tracker. A thought suddenly struck her and she called Ximin. As soon as the phone was answered, she ordered,"Ximin, check the whereabouts of Miss Mou Zirui. And leave the people there. You were right. Samual is not there."

In a few seconds, Ximin answered," Alice. I've made a mistake! Miss Mou had a date with Samual tonight! When I heard that he was going to have a deal here, I assumed that he would cancel on Miss Mou so I did not do the follow up. Samual is.."

"....with Mou Zirui at present."
