"Li.... Jing.... Xi.... Are you crazy?" Faith[1] yelled at Li JingXi with an extremely annoying tone. She turned all red in her anger.
"Ok! Ok!.. Stop yelling, you burst your lungs out. Why are you yelling at me this early in morning." Li JingXi pick a candy and put it in Faith's mouth to shut her up.
"You don't know, what happened last night". Faith answered her in a sympathetic way. She was worried about JingXi, last night she got all drunk in her friend's party and ruined it with her own hands. As JingXi was unaware, she doesn't even recall anything from last night. Faith was trying to tell her suddenly, she got a call from a company for her internship.
"Listen babe, I was all trashed last night so, how can you expect me to remember anything. I don't even remember who brings me food last night in my room..... Ha Ha". JingXi replied in an embarrassed tone and left for the shower. After taking her shower, JingXi was preparing for her interview suddenly Faith came and hit JingXi on her head badly.
"Ow! It hurts..". JingXi responds with her brows tightly knotted with each other. Before she could say something Faith told her about last night's incident. Last night JingXi was all drunk. She didn't even able to manage herself, her reckless behavior was unpredictable. Actually, it was her first time to drink alcohol and get herself trashed from head to toe. She swayed here and there with a bottle of wine in her hand all over the party. All of sudden she mistook her friend's boyfriend for her childhood friend and guess what they KISSED. She kissed that boy, which makes her friend more jealous and anger to her death.
Well, that's what happened last night she explain it all to her. JingXi thought about it and avoid her last night incident. She was now totally concentrated on her interview. LI JingXi and Faith both leave for their job interviews. Li JingXi was to be interviewed in one of the largest company, Lu Corps.
*Panting*
"Urgh.. I'm going to be late for my first interview.. Damn..". She ran towards the entrance of Lu Corps, and enter for her interview. Who can think that a trashed girl going to interview without even awake from her hangover?
"Ok! we'll tell about result after three days".
"Thank you, sir". JingXi answered and leave the Lu Corp. But even fate was not that pitied for her, she saw her friend from last night. JingXi can tell how furious she was after what happened at the party.
She tried to avoid her, but she couldn't as she was her friend for more than 2 years. Winnie[2], she looks so fierce and wild, anyone could have burned with fire she released through her eyes. They both took steps ahead towards themselves.
Suddenly, * SLAP* Winnie hit JingXi with all of her anger and strength.
"That's for, what you did last night". Winnie shouts.
"Oh! really, then its settled. I already saw your cruel and shady side". JingXi replied with a devilish smile. She again responds "this shows how much you trust your boyfriend and your friend".
Winnie had been already in so much anger, she looks like she couldn't help herself in anger and kill JingXi at any moment. "How dare you... You slut, you even make bold of yourself after seducing my man". Winnie grinds her teeth in anger. Here JingXi was avoiding her and thinking about her interview results, she clenched her fists and release immediately.
" Pfft.... So you think everyone is like you around men, Hah. But I'm sorry darling... It's you, not me."
JingXi opposed Winnie in her bold way and take her leave from there. Winnie could not say anything, and suppressed her anger. She got stunned by watching so much difference in JingXi's behavior than from the past.

After a few days, JingXi get a call, "Miss Li, you're hired as interior designer intern at our company. Please come tomorrow at 9 AM sharp". After hearing this great news she couldn't help herself and called Faith in seconds. She told her about the result and pleased her to come back for the celebration. Without any blink, she returned to her kitchen and prepared the spicy hot - pot for this good news.
Next Morning, JingXi head for her first day of internship at Lu Corp. She was looking forward to her ability to do well and not to disappoint anyone.
"Hello! I'm the new intern at Interior designing department". She introduced herself.
"So, you're the newbie.. huh.." A n unpleasant voice rang in her ears. She turned back quickly to take a look. "Ye.. Yes.. I'm the new intern". JingXi replied hesitantly. Well, everything was going smoothly at her intern period.
"Manager Lin, welcome, welcome! This way, please". The chief of Interior designing department said obsequiously. Every employee of that department stands immediately to greet him. JingXi was busy at her own work she didn't notice manager Lin.
"Hhaa.. He's so handsome".
"Like a god passed near by.."
"Hmph!.. How rude, this newbie didn't even greet manager".
*Chit- chatting*
JingXi heard all those gossips and avoid all of them in a second. She stood up to greet manager Lin.
When JingXi saw his face, she got speechless and her face turn pale in a very moment. What she saw was that boy, whom she mistook for her childhood friend. He was wearing a black suit, with the limited edition watch and of course his smile, which surely was gives the terrifying vibes.
"Hel.. Hello.. Manager Lin". JingXi greet her manager in a low voice, embarassedly. She got shocked, just only a look at him and she recalled all the flushed memories of her.
"Miss Li, Nice to meet you! We didn't have a enough time to talk in the past. Now Let's settle all". He gave her a lustful smile and leave.
"Urgh.. This man is now ... He's going to embarrassed me now. Ahh!".
[1]- Faith, JingXi's childhood best friend
[2]- Winnie, JingXi's classmate from 2 years ago and biased toward's JingXi
This one lustful smile froze Jingxi to the ground!
Before she could stop herself from embarrassing, Manager Lin's head slowly turns and suddenly points out her "So, Miss. Li you're the intern at interior designing department.."
"Ahem… Ye..Yes Manager Lin". She answered hastily. Jingxi snapped out of his gaze. She quickly turned her head away and mutters "I'm doomed!" and escaped.
There was no way she was going to face him today.
"Hey! Do you know manager". One of her colleagues asked curiously.
"No way!". She replied in haste. "And why do you think so," she questioned her colleague doubtfully.
"NO.. No.. It's just he spoke to you so casually.. Heh.. Heh.. Ahem, that's why".
"By the way I'm Mia.. Mia Chen".
"Hi! I'm Jingxi, you're also as an intern here."
"hmm... let's get along well from now on. Ha Ha Ha".
...
After Jingxi returned from the office. She freshened up before heading out to the market to buy some night snacks, some dishes and beer.
After experiencing such a tiring day, she had to have some satisfied meals.
"Haah… " Sighed deeply.
"Today was a long day and that bastard showed up from nowhere" Jingxi annoyingly start cursing the Manager Lin. She already feels regretful on her actions. She dreamt about everything that happened 4 years ago. The memories of her one sided love at her high school. Those were now turned into a pain for her, she doesn't even want to remember those foolish feelings.
"Jingxi how was your first day" Faith suddenly enters in the room and asked. She teased Jingxi with her adorable expressions. Jingxi couldn't help herself, but relaxed seeing such cute expressions.
"It was alright, and I get along with everyone well" Jingxi answered with her voice down. She didn't want to talk about Lin, so she immediately changes the topic.
"So, do you find any suitable man for you, " Faith asked with a tiger smile.
*chuckles*
"Why do you only want me to match with someone so badly..huh! Aaaiishhh!..... Am I burden to you" Jingxi answered her with slight smirks on her face. The atmosphere was turned into warm. Right after they had started their dinner, the doorbell rang.
Who could possibly be at this hour?
Jingxi opened the door curiously and shocked, on her doorstep, all there, could she saw was a man in black, so stiff. It's like this one is not the main person, the two bodyguards step aside and greet a person. Oh! The main person was standing behind two bodyguards. His face completely covered in the dark. His watch on his right wrist was shining like a diamond, It's the limited edition of Michael Korks. No wonder it's shine was unbearable for eyes.
This was... just happened out of the blue.
"Eh.. Ex.. cuse me" Jingxi felt so frightened.
"Who are you looking for? It's.. It's quite late."
"Excuse me, Miss.. Are you Li Jingxi" one of the man asked curtly.
Why on earth someone look for her, it's already quite late no one want any disturbance at this hour. "No, you've got the wrong person"Jingxi could not hold in and replied hastily. She felt a little anxious around this tensed atmosphere.
"Hey! Who is it, at this hour" suddenly a voice came out from inside the room. Jingxi got nervous, here few men in black looking for her, where inside Faith calmly eats dinner. What big can happen, she got her almost exposed in front of these cold-icebergs.
"Are you not Jingxi, is it not city Z, Blue flower apartments, room no. 506" that man's secretary asked Jingxi in a stiff tone.
What! they got her address!. Incredible.
Jingxi got confused and glare at them with piercing eyes and replied coldly in an annoyed tone "Yes, you got the address correct, but person is wrong".
"May I bother Mr. Bodyguard to leave my house" Faith answered with a bitter smile.
"M.. Mr.. Body...guard...." *shocked* "Sorry Miss, you got me wrong. I'm Boss Jiang's secretary".
"And we're looking for Miss Li Jingxi..".
"Stop! I already told you there is no one named here Li Jingxi" Jingxi reacts aggressively and slam the door at their face.
"Uffff.... This is so..." Jingxi takes a deep breath, but a fierce gaze was staring at her. Faith, she didn't get what just happened outside. She asked arrogantly like a motherly behavior" What was that Jingxi, Who's he.. and Why's he looking for you?" she got completely pissed off.
"Who knows, I don't even know them" Jingxi clarify herself and returned to their dinner.
Really What did those men come here for. Jingxi didn't even confronts anyone. These thoughts keep pestering her.
Without blinking an eye, Jingxi left the room after the dinner. She was thinking about the man who was looking for her. How did they get the entire information about her?
After few minutes
"Hey! Where do you think you're going this late?" Faith asked her concernedly with an aggressive look on her face.
"At club" Jingxi answered in a low voice. She always goes to the club, whenever she was feeling upset. At club no one knows her real identity, she was known by her DJ name 'Scar'. She was very famous for her DJ performances.
"Ok, then call me when you arrive" Faith answered humbly.
Simultaneously, Faith, stand beside Jingxi nurturing her own thoughts. What life you're living Jingxi. So many years had passed, but you still hid the pain in your heart. I clearly know you, your one- side love, your best friend betrayed you. That scar is still there and you also took your stage name as 'Scar'. Hmphh... *sighed deeply*
After all, she can only support her in any means.
...
Late night at MIX Club
{Song played}...
"Woo.. Hoo... Scar.. Scar... Scar"
"Ye.. Once more... Once more"
"This girl is amazing, even her tracks are energetic," one man said politely to his partner.
"Wow! Who's he.."
"He's super damn hot..."
A man with gray suit walks over and sat on the couch. His gray suit was fitted to his body, like it was only made for his body. His personality talks more than himself. 'Lu Han Ru' CEO of the largest company, Lu Corps. He handled the company at very young age of 21. Even his competitors dare to say at his back. The cold- faced, Expressionless but most Handsome and charming. Ideal type of every girl.
...
At the same time Jingxi was leaving for her home, but suddenly she saw something, something unbearable for her heart.
Before heading back to her home, she decided to have a drink. She rushes to go to the bar tender's table. Only then, she feels like she saw something familiar, a familiar face from 4 years ago. A boy was sitting there and his hair was covering one of his eyes. Those 4 years were burdensome for her. She decided to move on, but fate was toying with her.
She comes back to where she started. She tried her best to avoid his glance.
"Li... Li Jingxi, It's you" Jiangchen spoke casually, Jingxi's one-sided love of her high school.
Jingxi turns back and gives him an arrogant look. She doesn't want to be involved with him now. All the humiliation and pain she got being with him, all wounds were opened in a single glance.
"Sorry, you've got the wrong person" She denied to recognize him.
"Jingxi… How could you… don't you know me, Jiangchen your first love" He responded with a devilish smile, which showed his evil intentions. He insisted on deliberately. After so much annoyance Jingxi responded aggressively.
"So What! If I'm Jingxi, what does it have to do with you?" Jingxi yelled arrogantly at him.
The whole club was busy, only some of them paying attention to their conversation.
He dragged her with him in his private room of the club.
His gaze was concerning her. He explains how he was not able to tell her about his immigration from China to the United Kingdom. He attended business school for their family company, As he was the heir of the Broze. He convinced her how much he missed her during his study period abroad and still loves her.
Jingxi listens to all of his explanation, but in her heart, she still needs some time to forgive him. It's not an easy task to forgive someone only in two minutes.
Suddenly, a phone rang, she excuses herself and leaves the room to receive the call.
After a few minutes receiving her call, she headed back to the room. She merely wants to forgive him, but something was not right with her.
Suddenly she heard the voice of a girl from Jiangchen's room, seems very familiar.
She opens the door slowly and all she saw was a girl sitting on the lap of Jiang Chen with her seductive expressions.
" Oh! Jiangchen stop it, what if Jingxi saw us in this situation" the girl said seductively.
"Hmm… I don't care, she's just my play toy" Jiang Chen answered the girl with a flirtatious smile. He grabbed the girl closer, they both exchange their breaths and kissed deeply.
At the same time, outside the door, Jingxi falls on her knees. Her world was already so dark now it's all shattered in pieces. She grits her teeth, clench her fists and stands up. The feeling of hatred and betrayal were colliding in her mind. She took a step ahead and open the door, they both were still in their kissing position.
" Jiang... Chen… " she screams crazily, "how dare you… you.. you betrayed me, who's that bitch". Now, she was not in the state of controlling her emotions.
That girl turned back to show her face, she was Jingxi's classmate, who compete with Jingxi in all manner from friendship to boyfriends.
"Win... Winnie, you... " Jingxi was speechless after seeing him with her classmate. She was feeling like, a knife stabbed her heart badly. She got betrayed by her most important person of her life.
*slap* "Who are you to call me bitch, don't you have any shame, putting your eyes on someone else's boyfriend". Winnie furiously replied.
What! someone else's boyfriend, what the hell. A few days ago, she slapped me because of her boyfriend. Now again, she slapped me because of her present boyfriend. She's really something, not only she changes her boyfriend's daily, also get violent for them, shocking.
"Humph!... So you really did find your another sugar daddy, not bad. you're very fast in these, huh!" Jingxi mocked her with a cold smile.
"What... What are you saying?" Winnie nervously responds.
"Hey! Jingxi, stop this reckless behavior. She's my girlfriend" Jiangchen said arrogantly.
Jingxi slapped Jiangchen's face and leave immediately. Her world, her happiness was only for few a minutes. Everything was now ended, she bawled her eyes out.
Jingxi escaped from the bar, but in the middle of it, she bumped into a very tall and handsome man with a poker face. She didn't even notice whom she bumped into, her heart was struggling to forget Jiangchen.
"Hey! watch out where you are going?" A man yelled at her with his murderous look. She can sense the horrible aura from it. She got fainted, in the arms of the young man in Black suit with a purple tie. A charismatic aura was emitting from him, with those cold gaze. He was a full package of ice mountain, no expressions on face.
He carried her to the hospital.
"urgh..." She wakes up, she had a terrible headache. Jingxi hold her head and sighed deeply.
"Are you done?"
Jingxi heard the voice, she turns her head towards him. Her face turned pale. She get embarrassed, as she was sitting in front of a poker face. How on earth can a person be so expressionless?
"Eh.. thank you for saving me" She replied in a lower voice.
He suddenly stands up and was leaving the room, Jingxi told him to stop.
"Wait! May I know your name, umm... as for today I..." she only tried to express her gratitude, he stopped her right away in the middle of conversation.
"No need, you're unqualified for it". he replied coldly.
