"Why is she not coming?" Sara tapped her fingers on the table nervously. "Did you lie to me?" She looked at Dexi who was sitting beside her.

"You must think everything I say is a lie"

"It's possible" She shot back.

She looked at Muchen's direction. He was chatting with another girl. Everyone was surprised by his openness today. On various other occasions, no one dared go near him. He didn't mind saving their faces when he embarrassed them. But today, he had to. To keep him from getting furious. She had been avoiding him these past few days. And now she's looking so pretty beside another man? He tried his best not to look at their direction. Although he was tempted to keep looking at Sara, he tried not to. He might do something crazy if he kept seeing Dexi smiling at his woman like that. He looked at the girl on the table who was flirting with him openly. He was no longer in the mood. 'What am I thinking entertaining these ladies? What if Sara gets the wrong idea?' His mind and brain were totally messed up. He raised his wine glass. Looked at it, twisted the stem for a little bit before he downed it.

"Mr Li. You have to be careful" His secretary advised.

Muchen shooed the girl away. He was done with this party. And he was going to teach Sara a lesson when he meets her tomorrow. He was about to stand up when he noticed a familiar figure.

It was almost 9 in the evening. But the outside was lit with different bulb colours which radiated the whole place. Song Changyu came with with her usual grace and top notched fashion sense. A female secretary, formally dressed behind her. Her gown, jewelries, make up, shoe, clutch. Everything was perfect. She looked nothing like 40. Most people said it was because she never got married or had a child that was why she remained her youthful and graceful self.

The Mo's greeted her first. She had been their daughter in law at a time. But now, she was far higher than them in the social ranking. Other families followed. Muchen did also.

Sara's breath seized when she saw Song Changyu. She was tensed. But she knew today was the D day. "Here we go"

Dexi led her gently by her arm. She didn't object this time. She was thinking of nothing else but to meet with this woman. But the worse happened. A passing waiter bumped into her and spilled wine all over her.

Sara stood, Frozen. Dexi too. The waiter apologized repeatedly. Sara knew it was done deliberately. She looked at the crowd. Most people had smiles on their faces. She had seen it before, she had sensed it. Their jealousy, their anger. Even though she had no idea why they were angry with her. She wasn't bothered about them. If only they knew she was not a socialite, they wouldn't have bothered with her also.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'll visit the restroom. Beep me if she's leaving anytime soon." She told Dexi who was still scolding the waiter.

Although her gown was black, the stain was rather obvious.

She finally got to the female restroom after missing her way a few times, and entered. It was built in a way that it could be used by two or more people comfortably. She could sense that someone was in the inner bathroom and settled with the first one instead. She took some paper towel and tried to wipe it all off.

She Panicked when she saw that it wasn't getting any better. 'What am I going to do? Oh god. Please..' She continued cleaning frantically. From the mirror, she saw someone behind her and was shocked a bit. "What are you doing here? This is a ladies bathroom" She said as she turned to look at Jinyong.

"It's my house. I can enter in anywhere I like"

Sara nodded and turned back to continue with her gown. She totally ignored him.

"What are you doing with my uncle?" He asked. Not liking the fact that that she was ignoring him.

"You must have asked the waiter to spill this wine all over me so you could get the chance to ask me silly questions" She turned to look at him.

"You've turned fearless. It's admirable" He commended.

"And you look more haggard than I last remember. It's what you get when you don't have 'a Sara' in your life"

He chuckled. He had never seen this side of Sara. He wondered if things would have been different if she had always been this way.

"Sara..." He tried to hold her hand but she pushed him off

"Are you out of your mind Mo Jinyong?" She asked angrily. She didn't wait for an answer and went straight for the door. But it was locked already.

"You have some guts" She said.

"You cheated on me Sara" His gaze changed. "We were together, yet you were cheating on me with CEO Li. And now you are with my Uncle? What exactly do you want?" He asked as he stepped closer to her.

Sara tsked at him. "You must think everyone is like you? And you must be crazy to think anyone would cheat on you with Mr Li. Any reasonable person would throw you aside to have a date with him. They would be no need to keep you by their side."

Jinyong's eyes turned dark. "So that's it?" He stopped in front of her "Then why did you come to my engagement party and put up that show in front of CEO Li?"

"What....what are you talking about?" She looked at him in confusion
