Chapter 220: Mortal Enemy
At Gems Integrated Resort, Hotel & Casino
Everyone was enjoying a good time at the event because of the privilege given to them to take photos with various stars in different fields and Xander as the CEO of Yang Globals group was one of the sorted personnel to get a selfie with.
He was somewhat grateful that his wife did not happen to attend the event because he was surrounded by women beyond his control. There was media everywhere and cameras flashing right and left so he should act as a gentleman.
He cursed inside while he signaled at assistant Ron to do something to get him out of his current position already. He recalled how vaguely his wife punished him with the UTI thing in the hospital when the nurses flirted with him. He was hoping Yera, his wife, would not even bother to open the television and watch the entertainment news or he would be doomed tonight.
"Dr. Yang!" exclaimed a familiar voice at Xander’s side. The flashes of the camera was hindering him to have a proper look at the woman from a distance. But as she walked towards him, Xander recognized her impeccable smile. "Dr. Yao?" Xander murmured.
Dr. Yao winked at him and effortlessly drove away the women who were beside Xander. "Where’s Rui?" that was the first words Xander muttered because they were supposed to be together.
Dr. Yao raised her eyebrow with her smile still plastered perfectly on the camera while she casually wrapped her arms on Xanders.
"I’m not sure where that meddler feeling detec..." Dr. Yao paused and Xander noticed how her face became gloomy as she looked at the crowd not to mention the narrowing of her eyes.
"Is everything al-" before Xander could finish to say his words he felt the sudden movement from Dr. Yao causing him to lose his imbalance while he caught her weight. The two of them fell on the ground with Dr. Yao on top of him.
"Are you alright?" Xander murmured, checking if Dr. Yao was hurt anywhere or not. The latter gave him a smile before she responded, "I’m fine Dr. CEO. I’m sorry I think I scratched your arm with my bracelet."
He saw Dr. Yao quickly got up from the top of him while Xander followed and checked his arm that Dr. Yao was referring to. "Huh? Is her bracelet that sharp to slice my sleeve?" Xander muttered dumbconfounded because it looked like a knife had passed through it.
