The Undefined Love

Lifen looked at both men. One was having an expression like he was in front of some God whom he never thought that he was going to meet. While the other one who was sitting beside her, having an expression as if he was still unknown of the unusual air around him. Or she could say he was well used to something like this. She looked at the man who was holding an air of nonchalance, 'Was she missing out something? Absolutely no! She has been with him for quite some time but never seen such a scene before. Mike was clearly worshipping him with his eyes. "Mike? Do you know him?" she asked with an expression that clearly implied 'if there is something then spill it fast'. She was really curious to know what she was missing out on. But the reaction he got from her friend was something she never expected. His expression was asking her, 'Are you an alien? When did you arrive on this planet?' Lifen's lips twitched. She could not tell if this man was the same who has confessed his heart feelings to her and has chased her for approximately seven to eight months. No, she won't be able to guarantee that. Now looking at him, it felt more like she wasn't the one to whom he had confessed his feelings rather it was the man who was sitting beside her. "Lifen, are you really asking me that? It should be me asking you, why did you hide your relationship from me? You said you considered me as your friend but you hid such a huge thing from me", Mike said. His eyes were filled with sadness, making Lifen feel like she had backstabbed him. "I never got a chance to tell you. Furthermore, I thought it might upset you so never told you about it", she said plainly but she was really something weird going around her. "Huh? Why would it upset me. In fact, I should thank you. It's only because of that today I was able to help him. I never expected to meet him in this life. If you are really with him then other men around should already give up because you can never get someone better than him. He is…", he was about to narrate a whole essay but Lifen cut him off in between. "Do you know him? And why do I feel that you are idolizing him? If I am correct, I don't think you have any previous dealings with Wang Corporations and you have never been to Country A. Then how do you know him?" she asked, rubbing her chin while contemplating the chances where He would have met Deming. She would have asked the man sitting beside her directly, but looking at the smug expression on his face, she couldn't bring herself to. 'This is only going to make him narcissist. Hmph! I am not asking him', she snorted internally. She again turned to look at Mike, demanding to get an answer. "Are you kidding me? You are asking if I know him. Who doesn't know him? He is an inspiration in the business world and now we have got an air that he rules over…" but again before he could complete his words Deming cut him off in the between. But his words weren't directed to Mike rather to the curious cat sitting beside him with her cheeks puffed up. "Sweetheart! I never thought my fiancée didn't know what I am capable of. Do you really take me as a useless guy who is always boasting himself for nothing?" He turned his head sideways and looked at her but she was stubbornly avoiding his eyes. Seeing her adorable childish behavior he let out a chuckle and lifted his hands to pinch her chin lightly and make her face him directly into eyes, "Of course, he would be knowing me since I have several hotels and resorts here. After getting back, you should focus more on me so that you can get to know me better" Lifen squinted her eyes on him and pursed her lips tightly. Her eyes asked him mockingly, 'What will be good in knowing you?' Understanding her inaudible words, his lips curled up as he said, "That way you won't be embarrassed in front of others. What will they think if they know me better than you? So I have decided after getting back I will help you in knowing me in a better way, in every single better way" Mike who was witnessing all these scenes in front of his eyes couldn't believe it. Was this for real? If anyone who really knew what this man was really capable of then they would also be shocked witnessing these scenes. This man, whose ruthlessness is infamous in the business world and darkness is well known in the underworld, was behaving so gentle to a woman. He can't believe that a woman can be competent to bring out this side of him. Though there was no doubt that Lifen was quite different from other women both in beauty and brains, since he too fell very hard for her but he never thought that the same will go for the devil king who is ruthless and merciless in the ways no other could be. But now looking at them like this, one thing was sure to his eyes. Lifen didn't know much about the darkness he had from the dark world. And he was preventing his level best to not let her know about it. Mike looked at the gentle smile the man was having on his face. It was the smile of satisfaction which was clearly declaring its reason to be the woman on whom his eyes were fixed. To his oblivion, he was having the dog food which was deliberately being fed to him but he still hasn't got the air of it. When his senses weren't able to take it anymore, his body reacted on its own with a hard cough. "Ah I am sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt you two. Sorry…I am really sorry" Mike apologized. Though his words were for both Lifen and Deming but his eyes let her know that his apology was only to the man. "What hotels and resorts do you have here that I never came to know?", she asked, not able to take Mike's idolizing expressions anymore. "He has many here", Mike stated, taking his initiative to help his idol. "I am even confident that the hotel you are staying currently in also belongs to Mr. Wang." Lifen looked at the man and said, "I doubt that. It is the oldest 7 – star hotel in London and has established itself much earlier than he joined the authorities of Wang Corporations. It's TULIP HYDE PARK." She was very confident of this that the hotel she was living in was associated with Deming. But little did she would have guessed that she really had many things to know about him. She has just scratched the surface when there are hundreds of layers still left to uncover. She looked at the man who had a smirk smile on his face as if he wanted to smile on something but was too proud to do so. "Huh! You got it right. TULIP HYDE PARK! It's one of the starting project Mr. Wang had started in London. Later it spread wider in the many cities", Mike said with utmost excitement. He was right when said that the hotel in which she would be staying also belonged to the man, Wang Deming. Her eyes instantly widened in disbelief. "What? How could that be? The hotel is yours but earlier Daiyu told me that it was started by some Britisher. Then?" "Hmm you are right. But you don't know the deep story of his evolution. When it was established years ago, the hotel was the same as any common hotel in London. It was nowhere near to the success it has now. In fact, you can call it running neither in profile nor in loss". But then the news spread about it being sold to some unknown buyer. He was still in his high school so people said that the boy was either too naïve or very foolish to close such a deal. Many criticisms rose in the air but neither stopped its development. Within a span of just one and a half years of changed ownership, the hotel began showing the profits in the figures which no other hotel could ever cross. Later came the news that the one who was the reason for such change was a mere eighteen – year boy who was still in his high school, studying management as his main subject", Mike concluded his words. Hearing his words Lifen was awestruck. She never knew this story. She has also closed deals in Li Corporations at such a young age but every deal was under the guidance of her grandfather. And she never has to face any criticisms. Now looking at the man, she can feel that he really had a hard time during his young years. Though he has got powers at a young age but there was his hard work behind successfully handling such power and responsibilities. "Okay Fine. Let's go. I will have to do real hard work on you. You really don't know anything about me and it's now embarrassing me more than you", Deming said as he stood up in a swift motion and pulled Lifen along with him.
