Her head was on his chest. She could hear his heart beating faster. Same rhythm with hers. She had not expected the sudden hug as she was still dazed and her eyes wide open. His scent engulfed her. Her instinctive reaction was to pull away. She shouldn't be hugging her boss. But when he exerted little pressure to keep her from doing so, she didn't push further. She felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She felt light and warm. 'I...am hugging Li Muchen' Unconsciously, she snuggled closer when that thought hit her.

She gradually lifted her hands to hug him back. But she stopped midway. "Mis...Mister Li. We can't do this here. Someone might see"

He broke free from the hug and looked at her. With his dimples revealed, he smiled. "So you are saying we can do this elsewhere then?"

Sara shook her head vigorously. "I never said that!"

The smile in his face disappeared when he asked. "Are you afraid CEO Mo would see you hugging me? Do you like him?"

He turned to leave without waiting for her to speak but she panicked and pulled him back. 'What am I doing? Why did I pull him back?' She quickly dropped her hand and looked down.

'She fell for it'. The bright smile he had on disappeared when he turned to face her again.

"I... I mean, it won't be good for you if anyone saw us like this. You are CEO Li." She explained with her head still down.

"I asked if you liked CEO Mo" He asked softly. Lifting her chin so she would look at him.

She was mesmerized by their proximity but managed to shake her head. "Of course not. I only came here for something important. I asked him to bring me here cause I didn't know how else to get in"

He was curious what she was here for. But he only nodded and didn't ask. 'Was she here to get revenge on those two?' He smiled at the thought. He was going to back her up anyway.

He dropped his hand and reminded her "Your dress is ruined. You can't go in there looking like that"

Sara pouted sadly when she remembered the dress. "I have to do this today. It must be today" She muttered.

'She must really be here for revenge' He thought.

Sara didn't want to raise the issue about Jinyong's engagement party yet. To ask if he had been there. She would do all of that later. But now, she had to do something else.

"Sara?" Dexi called. He wondered why she was spending too much time and decided to look for her himself. 'But she had actually been with Muchen?'

He smiled at Muchen as he walked closer to them. It wasn't a friendly smile. It was obvious. Muchen didn't bother returning the smile and just watched him instead. "I guess you missed your way. We have to return Sara. She is free now"

Sara gave Muchen an apologetic look before following Dexi, who didn't bother to look at him again.

Muchen didn't stop her. He didn't want to interfere with whatever she was here for. But he was sure of one thing. He would never let Dexi get his chance with her again. Though he wondered who the 'she' was.

He noticed earlier how the waiter bumped into Sara. When she wasn't coming back, he went to check for himself. Not minding that he was entering into the women's restroom. That was when he heard Jinyong calling him a bastard. He had wanted to say something then. But Sara's reaction had greatly delighted him. He looked up at the sky. For some reason, he felt this night was going to be a really long night.

Her gaze swept between Sara's annoyed look and Muchen's indulgence with a pretty lady. Weiyoung smirked. She reveled in the fact that Sara was finally feeling jealous and insecure. Yes! It was what she had always wanted. What she wished for. She thought back to when they were still in highschool, when they saw their test grades.

"You are still the best" Sara gave her both thumbs up when she saw a big A+ on Weiyoung's test script

Weiyoung smiled haughtily at her and checked Sara's grades.

"A C?" She cocked a brow at her.

Sara smiled brightly. "Yes. I did well right? Last time I got a D"

"Don't you feel sad about your grades at all?" It would have been better if Sara was sad and jealous of her. If Sara tried to compete with her while she kept showing her who the boss was.

Sara cupped her face with both hands "Am I not cute? What's the point of studying hard? I'll get married to a very rich man. You'll introduce me to one right?" She said childishly.

Weiyoung laughed. 'With such a low mentality, No wonder her family was so poor' She thought.

A lot of the guys in school had their eyes set on Sara. Even the senior Weiyoung had liked. She thought he was coming around because of her. When she realised it had been for Sara, her hatred for Sara soared. She had a father who loved her. She had merely suggested for Sara to change her school to hers and her father had willingly obliged. Sara was always happy and followed her about like a little puppy. She had always been the one jealous of Sara. Why would she be jealous of someone who didn't have anything? It was supposed to be the other way round. She was mad at herself. Mad at Sara, at her parents, at the world. In an attempt to spite her, she had deliberately spread the rumour about Sara coming from a poor home. People naturally assumed that Weiyoung's parents had been in charge of Sara's fees. She didn't bother to deny it. Everyone in school then saw her as a nice, humble girl who befriended a pauper.

When Sara finally got a boyfriend, she had been shocked to see he was from the Mo family. Why on earth would a Mo fall in love with Sara? What was so special about her?
