The Numbers That Brought Our Fates Together Chapter 46: Pretending To Be White And Fluffy, Huh?

Following Elena and David, the other couples joined the dance, and soon the center of the hall turned into a large dance floor. Two adult men stood by and watched.

"Chen, your daughter is like a hot cake! Look, she already charmed Anderson himself. Yes, she can become the Queen of the whole world, if she marries him. After all, this kid is the largest shareholder of Greenline Inc…"

President Lee, feeling displeased, looked at his friend, "I think it is too early to talk about this. Elena is only 21 years old. I doubt that marriage is included in her immediate plans. Moreover, they are just friends."

"Did she tell you about that?" Man, you see, you grow old. The youth these days is very progressive. In the morning he can be her friend, and by the evening he will be her lover. And if we talk about this David, he is clearly not one of the naive boys, and he knows how to lure the girl into his net," Minister Barton said.

"All right, I do not like this topic of conversation. You better tell me, John. What about the kidnapping of two months ago? Elena said then that the kidnappers made no demands and just let the girls go. But this situation seems suspicious to me."

"Hmm, honestly, I just wanted to talk to you about it. The situation is really bizarre. I sent my people to check that place, but even the special squad did not find any traces. Therefore, I cannot imagine what it was for. Oh, Jason got me then with his outrage at my indifference to his friends!"

"Don't be too hard on him, John. He is your only son. It is a great happiness that your child is alive and well. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about," President Lee replied, and his eyes turned sad for a moment.

He looked again toward the dance floor, but neither Elena nor David was already there. His eyes began to look for his daughter all over the hall, but she seemed to have completely disappeared.

"Excuse me, John. I need to find Elena. We have to leave. See you later," Chen Lee said goodbye to Jason's father and went to look for his daughter.

. . .

David led Elena onto a balcony behind the hall to hide from prying eyes. Making sure that no one was around, the man immediately pressed the girl against the wall and began to kiss passionately.

Elena felt his hands eagerly exploring her body. David's hot breath burned her skin and made the girl burn along with him. The smell of his cologne, like a dope, made her fall into an even greater trance.

David passionately continued kissing her, as if he had finally reached the coveted source, after a long wander through the desert. He could continue this endlessly, but he felt that the girl was about to faint from the lack of oxygen.

The man stopped, kissed her tenderly for the last time and held her tight.

"God, I missed you so much. You can't even imagine," David exhaled slowly, and then leaned over Elena's hair and inhaled the scent of her perfume.

The girl pressed herself against his chest and closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of his body. "I also missed you a lot," she answered quietly.

"When can you come over to my place?" David asked her.

"Um, I'm not sure that it will be possible any time soon. Because of all the turmoil with the vaccine, I'm practically not at home. You yourself were so busy that you couldn't even meet with me."

"Yes, I know, I'm sorry. Now everything should be much quieter," David looked Elena in the eyes, and gently removed a strand of hair falling on her face. "You are so charming today. Even standing on the stage, I only saw you in the hall," he said and smiled.

"Do not exaggerate. The one who attracted everyone's attention today is you," Elena replied mockingly.

"Honey, they can want anyone. And I just want you", he leaned over and kissed her. "In every possible definition of this word. Do you understand what I mean?" David winked and returned to the girl's desired lips.

Click.

Elena flinched and pulled away from David.

"Did you hear that?"

"What?"

"I just heard some strange sound," she replied and began to look around.

David freed the girl from his arms and looked around as well, but did not notice anything suspicious. "Maybe it was just a feeling?" he asked.

"I do not know. I think we better get back to the hall. There are a lot of people here, and if we are found alone in such a place, we may get in trouble."

"Do not worry, I am ready to take all the responsibility," the man added importantly.

Elena ironically looked at David, "It seems to me that it is still too early to declare such a thing."

"You think I'm not serious?"

They were already heading for the exit when suddenly a dark silhouette blocked their way.

"Don't you think that being alone with a man in such a place could lead to unwanted rumors, huh, Elena?" A stern voice, like ice-cold water, cooled down all the heat that was previously burning inside the girl.

"D-dad?"

"Do you want to explain what's going on here?" President Lee was furious.

"We went out for some fresh air and a little talk," Elena hurried to clarify the situation.

"Mr. Lee, allow me…," David wanted to stand up for Elena but was immediately interrupted.

"Young man, as you see, I am talking to my daughter. Therefore, I ask you not to interfere. Or is it not enough for you that you shamelessly got into the affairs of my business, that now you want to get into the affairs of my family?"

David's face instantly became serious. "Mr. Lee, with all due respect to you, but I do not get what you mean by this."

"Oh, so you don't get it?! Pretending to be white and fluffy just to gain the trust of my daughter? I know perfectly well who you are, young man. So let's stop this fake falsehood. Elena, we're leaving."

President Lee grabbed the girl by the hand and forced her to go after him. She did not even have time to say goodbye to David.

The young man watched the retreating couple. And this look was so impassive and chilling, that it would give creeps to anyone who encountered David at that moment.
