Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu - Chapter 184

Mr. Song, we heard that your company is going to launch a new collection based on Greek Mythology?”

Junjie turns her attention to the chubby woman with rosy cheeks and bright almond eyes. “Yes,” he says, “Nowadays, the traditional Greek dresses are in trend so we came up with this idea that why not represent it globally?” He glances at Evelyn but she is looking at him. It itches him that she is still so pissed at him but he is glad that he got to see her again.

“Evelyn” he calls her name and the hair on her skin rises. Her name on his lips sounds hot and when she meets his eyes again, she sucks in a breath. It’s the first time he has called her with her name and God help her she likes it when he said that. She wants to slap herself for thinking that.

She curls her fingers into a fist to stop her heart from beating so fast. “What is your opinion about the collection?” he asks.

She clears her throat and starts to speak, “The thought is interesting and I think our jewelleries would go right with your collection.”

When she looks at him, he is smiling, not a mocking but a genuine one. This irks her a little because she have seen him with a stupid smirk and a arrogant look.

“Yes, I think that too! Both will look fantastic together” Ruth chimes in, trying to break the ice.

She glances at the both of them and feels that this meeting will end in silence because both of them aren’t going to talk it seems.

The meeting somehow ended at last and Ruth is the one who did all the talking from asking questions to forcing them to answer. It was more like she was having a discussion with herself.

“I am glad we reached to the final conclusion. We are hoping to start working soon” she says politely.

“It is always a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Song” he stretch her hand forward for a handshake. He shook her hand giving her a tight smile.

Junjie got the feeling that Ruth is trying to make him leave since the meeting is over but he is here for other purpose and without that he isn’t going anywhere. He can see Evelyn is stiff and nervous too, just like him. He thinks his text must have scared her.

Evelyn do not look at him at all, just some glances and that’s it. His eyes are begging for her to look at him.

Ruth is by the door, opening and standing by the side waiting for him to exit. Junjie remains firm where he stands. He looks at Evelyn, this time seriously and no peeking. “Evelyn, will you please come with me?” he begs.

She meet his eyes, appearing flustered as she fumble with her fingers. She hasn’t decided yet. “Please, give me one last chance. I swear I am not going to do anything else” he says.

She is thinking, not sure whether to trust him or not. She let’s out a sigh and agrees, “Fine. I’ll go with you.”

Junjie has never been this happy by someone’s decision. He grins widely and leads her out of the office. Evelyn keeps her distance from him, following him from behind with her arms crossed before her chest and her eyes have a suspicious look.

**

“Don’t you dare play tricks. I am warning you beforehand” Evelyn warns him, sideways facing him. Her hair floats, some coming over her face as the car moves on speed.

He smiles, “Don’t worry. I am serious about this.”

“You are clingy, you know that right?” she mocks, pushing her hair behind her ear.

He chuckles, surprising her. “People like me that way” he winks, giving her a sideway glance. “you are the first one to be cold to me.”

She snickers, turning her eyes outside the window. “You haven’t told where we are going?” she asks.

“Let me keep that a secret, please?” he requests giving her a puppy eyes innocent look.

Junjie is more than happy than Evelyn agreed to go with him. He cannot contain the stupid grin from his face. His phone buzzes but he is not going to pick it up knowing that it’s from Zichen. It won’t kill him if he do not picks his call. Besides, Zichen never picks his calls whenever he is with Shi Lian so it’s only fair.

Taking a left turn, he drives straight, close to his destination. Although he do know that his plan is somewhat dumb but he can only come up with this. He stops the car, arriving where he wants to.

Evelyn gapes at him, not believing that this is the place. “Amusement park? Seriously?” she scowls.

He goes to her side and open the door for her. He offers his hand but she is still sitting, her face fuming with anger and confusion. “I told you, fuck I warned you not to do any stupid acts but you—”

“Just come with me, okay?” he says, cutting her midsentence.

Narrowing her eyes at him, she refuses to take his hand and steps out of the car on her own, brushing past him.

He shakes his head, smiling. Evelyn is one tough nut to crack.

She walks, fuming with anger. Junjie follow her, walking by her side. “Look, I am not fooling around okay? Just for once trust me” he tells her.

She stops and turns to face him. Her cold face and her angry eyes are a deadly combination.

“Making me come here in this amusement park, if it’s not fooling around, then what it is?” he implores. But then, she notices something. She scans around her and comes to a realization that other than them no one is present. Not a single soul.

“Are we the only one here?” she asks, sounding somewhat afraid.

“I booked this whole place” he says, “for you.”

“Just to apologize? ” she asks in disbelief.

He nods. “I thought it would be good if we are alone.”

“So make it fast” she snaps impatiently. That made him a little hurt.

He sucks in a deep breath and smiles, forgetting her rude replies. “Let’s do something else first. Which one do you want to go first? Roller coaster or the dragon ride?”

She rolls her eyes, turning on her heels and making her way outside the park. But she stops when Junjie calls her. “Are you backing out? Scared Evelyn?” he mocks, sneering at her.

That did prickle her. Curling her fingers into s fist, she turns around and gives me a dirty look. “I am not scared. ”

He smirks, instigating him more. “Then come and join me then.”

She huffs and Junjie knows she will anyhow accept his challenge. “Fine. If that’s what you want, jerk!”

Smiling to himself, he leads her to the roller coaster which she has chosen.

Going to the station, she hops on the seat and puts on the seatbelt checking it twice. Junjie goes and sits beside her, doing the same.

“I don’t know what you are trying to pro—” before she can finish the ride starts with a jolt, giving her one sudden heart attack. She gulps snd hold tightly on the railing.

The ride at first is slow but it took pace and when it isnits time to drop down, it goes with a full force, making everything inside her swirl. She cannot help letting out a loud scream when it starts getting faster. Air hits her face like smack and the muscles around her jaw wiggles but she is enjoying it. She is actually enjoying it.

A song starts to play out of nowhere but Evelyn asusmes it must be Junjie’s doing. She cannot hold back thr laugh that escapes from her mouth as thr roller coaster makes twist and turns, going through tunnels and loopholes.

THE SONG- HAPPY BY PHARRELL WILLIAMS

It might seem crazy what I am ’bout to say

Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break

I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space

With the air, like I don’t care, baby by the way

Huh (Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Here come bad news talking this and that (Yeah)

Well give me all you got, don’t hold back (Yeah)

Well I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine (Yeah)

No offence to you don’t waste your time

Here’s why

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Uh, bring me down

Can’t nothing, bring me down

My level’s too high to bring me down

Can’t nothing, bring me down, I said

Bring me down, can’t nothing

Bring me down

My level’s too high to bring me down

Can’t nothing, bring me down, I said

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Uh, bring me down (Happy, happy, happy, happy)

Can’t nothing (Happy, happy, happy, happy)

Bring me down, my level’s too high

To bring me down (Happy, happy, happy, happy)

Can’t nothing (Happy, happy, happy, happy)

Bring me down, I said

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you (ayy, ayy, ayy)

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you (hey)

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do.
