Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together
chapter-748

"Stop right there," Huang shouted.

Stopping midway, Ashton gulped in nervousness and turned towards them.

When Huiling tightened her grip around his arm, Huang gestured her not to worry.

"I swear I did not see anything brother Huang, it's very dark here," Ashton lied. He had obviously seen the two of them shamelessly kissing each other in an open place where anyone could see them.

"Listen to me Ash you—"

Cutting him off, Huiling whispered, "Be polite Huang." They had to convince Ashton to keep whatever he saw to himself so being rude to be him wouldn't help.

He sighed and nodded his head. Turning towards Ash, he continued, "Ash whatever you saw, you can't tell anyone about it okay?"

Looking at them, Ashton asked, "You both are together for real or just hooking up for no good reason?"

"We have been dating for the past two months but it's a secret and we haven't told anyone about it so you can't tell anyone," Huiling answered. She didn't want everyone to know about them through a third person. Not only would it hurt others feelings, it wouldn't look good either.

"Why aren't you telling anyone? Do Becca and Qiang know about this?" When she shook her head, he added, "Why didn't you tell them? Aren't they your best friends?"

"I want to but I don't know how they will react when I tell them that I have been dating someone for two months in secret." Pursuing her lips, she asked, "Can you please not tell anyone about it yet?"

Ashton sighed and nodded his head. "Alright, I won't." He already knew about Qiang and Guang and now he also knew about Huiling and Huang. He hated being the guy who knew all the secrets but he also hated being the guy who couldn't keep secrets. So in the end, he gave up and decided to be the secret keeper for everyone.

Rushing towards her, Huiling gave him a hug. "You are the best Ash, thank you so much." Looking at Huang, she gestured him to thank Ashton.

Huang sighed and reluctantly gave him a hug. "Thanks man."

"It's—" Ashton stopped midway when Huang tightened his grip around him.

"If whatever you saw goes out, you do know what will happen right?" Huang threateningly whispered.

Ashton gulped in nervousness and nodded his head. He already had no intention of telling anyone about it but after the low—key threat, he would also make sure that no one finds out anything about what happened in the garden under the shimmering moonlight.

Linyang's apartment

Massaging the back of her neck, Linyang sighed. She was working on the last part of Urecon corporation's project before they wrap up and start a new one. She wanted to finish it as soon as possible so that she didn't have to see Andrew ever in her life.

Though she was still very mad at him, the thought of not seeing him ever again made her heart feel uneasy. Though she had always thought of him to be a total ass, Andrew was always so sweet to her. If not for the whole him flirting with some other woman incident, Linyang would definitely consider being friends with him or may be more than just friends.

Shrugging away all the double standard thoughts off, she decided to concentrate on finishing her work instead but all she could think about was his handsome face, his flirty smile which always made her heart skip a beat and his s.e.xy body.

Fanning herself, she took a deep breath before grabbing the water bottle only to find out that it's empty. Her throat and everything else felt dry after thinking about someone's s.e.xy body and now she needed some water or maybe a cold shower to cleanse her body, soul and mind.

Helplessly shaking her head, she made her way out of the study room towards the kitchen.

Dining area

Sitting down, she started gulping down a big glass of chilled water to calm herself down and to stop thinking about Andrew.

Just then she heard a faint noise coming from the main door. She frowned and jolted up when the noise became louder and distinct. Thinking that someone might be trying to enter her apartment, she picked up a knife that was lying on the dining table and slowly made her way towards the door so she could see who it was through the peephole.

Gulping in nervousness, she tightened her grip around the knife and stopped three to four meters away from the door. It was already past two in the morning and she was having a feeling that whoever it was, that person had no good intentions.

Just then the door suddenly opened and someone entered the apartment.

Without looking at the person who had just intruded her place, she jumped at him all ready to stab him with the knife.

Grabbing her wrist, the man frowned, "Are you f.u.c.k.i.n.g crazy?"

"You? What the hell are you doing here?" She shouted.

Taking the knife from her hand, Andrew frowned deeper, "Were you trying to stab me with a butter knife? Seriously?" Without waiting for her reply, he tossed the butter knife aside and let go off her wrist. "Didn't your dad or brother give you a gun or a killing knife to protect yourself?"

"You—"

Cutting her off, he added, "And do you have any idea how bad this building's security is? Sure it's a high class society where only rich people can afford to buy and live but trust me when I say that a slum is far more secure than this building. I mean at least in a slum, you have neighbors watching over you all the time unlike here."

"So you just entered the building? Did you bribe the security guard?" She snapped.

"You mean that man who is sleeping like a pig?" Andrew chuckled and made his way towards the couch. "You see there was no need to bribe him and thanks to his loud snoring, I am very sure that no one heard my footsteps either."
