Kidnapped by a Dragon Billionaire - Chapter 102

By the time 3pm came and went, Zi Mei couldn’t wait to pack her bag and rush out to the gates. She told herself it was because she wanted to ask Thorin about shapeshifters but her pulse was racing as if she was going on a first date with the handsome CEO. As she hurried out, Damon King suddenly appeared and walked alongside her.

“Hey, let me walk you home today,” he offered cheerfully.

“I told you I am not interested and I have a boyfriend, remember?” she reminded him through gritted teeth. What is wrong with him? Doesn’t he understand rejection? Is he so full of himself that he thought that no one will ever reject him?

“Who said anything about interest and dating? I am merely offering to walk you home,” Damon King retorted.

“King, let me say it loud and clear, no, N – O , NO,” Zi Mei said, as she continued walking, trying to speed up but the annoying Damon King could easily keep up to her without even blinking.

“Why are you so adamant in avoiding me? Can’t we be friends?” Damon King asked, sounding sad. This actually made her stop in her tracks. What trick is he playing now?

“Are you seriously telling me that after all the shenanigans you did, you only wanted to be friends?” she asked him incredulously.

Damon King smiled slyly at her.

“I only wanted to be your friend, honest, cross my heart and hope to die if I am lying,” he said, crossing his heart for good measure.

Zi Mei narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously. He is behaving so suspicious now, she wondered what he is planning.

“What about that nonsense you pulled in class…you grabbed my hand and asked me to leave Thorin and date you!” she asked him accusingly.

Damon raised an eyebrow and grinned cheekily.

“Why? Regretting turning me down? Wished you had agreed to date me instead? Don’t worry, I am always open to date you, you are just too cute and pretty not to like,” he said, opening his arms wide as if to hug her.

Zi Mei took a few steps back from him.

“You just said you want to be friends and now…what is this…what do you actually want??” she spluttered in confusion.

Damon King chuckled in amusement. He stuck his hands in his pockets.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to grab you or anything, I am merely giving you options, a romantic relationship or a friendship, whichever you are comfortable with, I am fine,” he said.

“Why? Why me? There are tons of other girls in college!” she asked.

She gestured to the groups of girls walking pass them, some of them whispering and casting longing looks at Damon King. A few of them were actually standing nearby observing Zi Mei and Damon, obviously trying to eavesdrop into their conversation. Zi Mei look at her watch. It is almost 3.30pm.

Thorin might be waiting outside. She didn’t want to let him wait for too long. She decided to ignore Damon King. She turned around and started walking again. Damon King continued walking alongside her.

“Want to know why I chose you? Maybe after we’ve become friends, I will tell you why,” Damon King murmured next to her.

Zi Mei is intrigued but she refused to give him the satisfaction of responding to his bait. It was obvious that he was using her curiosity to bait her.

“Whatever, King, I have to go, my boyfriend is waiting,” she replied casually instead.

She hurried out the gates to find Thorin’s car waiting there. However, Thorin was not lounging against it as what he had done previously. Maybe he is waiting inside the car. She went over to the car and before she could open the door, Damon King slide in front of her and block the door.

“Your boyfriend is not here today, so, why don’t we be friends and go out for tea time like what friends do?” he said.

Zi Mei glared at him. What is wrong with him?

“My boyfriend is inside, what do you mean he’s not here?” she hissed at him. She tried to push him aside but he refused to budge.

“No he’s not,” he said.

“Yes he is!”

“Uh, no, I am sure of it!” he said adamantly.

Zi Mei kicked his shin and he winced but still did not move aside.

“Move aside and I will show you that you are wrong!” she told him.

Presently, the door on the other side opened and out came a tall, slim woman with almond-shaped brown eyes and creamy smooth skin.

“What’s the hold up here Tan Zi Mei?” Jessica said in her cold voice. Her eyes widened perceptibly when she saw Damon King facing Zi Mei. She walked over to them and regarded him coolly.

“Oh what do we have here! An extremely gorgeous woman I must say,” Damon King said. He grinned Jessica and this time, he stepped aside and went over to Jessica, as if he has suddenly lost interest in Zi Mei. Zi Mei looked at them and saw a flash of recognition in Jessica’s eyes before a shutter came down and her eyes are again cold and unfeeling, he expression like a mask.

“Damon. I didn’t expect to see you here,” Jessica said.

“I’ve been hoping to bump into you one of these days,” Damon King winked at her. He went over to her as if to hug her but she shifted expertly to avoid him and held up her hands warily.

“Wait…do you know each other?” Zi Mei asked them.

“What are you doing? Please, keep your distance,” Jessica told him, ignoring Zi Mei’s question.

Damon King chuckled. He looked at Jessica and then at Zi Mei. He shook his head and run his fingers through his hair.

“I must be losing my touch…there is only so much my ego can take…to be rejected by two women in a day, that is too much, I must say,” he said.

Jessica merely sniffed coldly.

“Do you want a meeting with Thorin Loong? I can arrange it if that’s what you want,” she said.

“Loverboy? Why do I want to meet him? I saw him yesterday…not impressed at all,” Damon King said dismissively.

“Can someone please tell me what is going on?” Zi Mei asked again in confusion. It sounded as if Jessica and Damon King knew each other. So, he is possibly a dragon shapeshifter too. But why doesn’t Thorin know him?

“This is strictly business, nothing to worry your mortal head over,” Jessica told her in a condescending tone.

“That’s no way to talk to a dragon’s mate,” Damon King said. He smiled at Zi Mei. She gasped in surprise and looked around to make sure no one else was eavesdropping. A few students were milling around and watching them.

“Can we all get in the car and talk inside?” she said in a low tone.

Damon King looked at Jessica and she nodded. Zi Mei opened the door as Jessica went over to the other side to get in. Thorin was not inside. So Damon King was right after all.. Zi Mei got into the car and Damon King followed behind her.
