Trial Of Love Chapter 143 - A Simple Promise That Was Forgotten...

The next day, Elizabeth was back to work for . Jackie did not tag along with her since her body still aches from what they did last time. Even though Jackie was not around Long Yiyi continued to avoid the girl.

"Sis Li Zi, your phone..." Liying quickly handed the girl her phone.

The girl was surprised to receive an unexpected call. She answered the call and listen eagerly to the person on the other end, wondering why the person suddenly called her.

After work, Elizabeth set off all on her own as she went to meet the person who called her earlier. She arrived at a well-decorated cafe on the south side of the city. It was peaceful inside and contain so much book around.

The girl entered the cafe and notice the man seated by the window whilst reading a book, she quietly walked over to him, "Director Mo."

The man looked up and was taken aback seeing the girl standing in front of him. "Li Zi, thank you for meeting me."

Elizabeth greeted the man as she sat down. "No worries Director Mo, is there anything I can help you with?" 

Whilst Elizabeth settles down on her seat, she could not help but wonder why the director suddenly called her out. For him to invite her out of the blue as a director was uncommon.

"It's not that important, but first what would you like to drink?" Director Mo went ahead and called the waiter for the girl to order her drink.

In the end, Elizabeth orders a fruit shake since she had an exhausting day at work because they were working outside in the heat. "Thank you."

"Li Zi, do you know Director Mo Chang." Director Mo asked, with high hopes that the girl known the man.

The girl was startled as to why the man suddenly asked her such a strange question. She observed the man's expression and body language but could not figure out what his purpose was for asking such a question. "I do, he directed loads of movies that received loads of awards. He was also a stepping stone for Lady Zhao to go international as an actress." 

Of course, naturally, she knew about the man. Not because of her mother, but because the man was a famous director for his achievements.

"I see…" Director Mo sighed, seeing the girl does not know a thing and bluntly told her."Did you know Lady Zhao made a promise to that director?"

Elizabeth was surprised, how come she does not know about it, especially if it has to do with her mother. She tried to stay calm and hopefully avoid revealing her ident.i.ty, "Really? I wonder what that could be?"

Director Mo was impressed with how the girl expresses her reaction, she indeed can be praised for being a world cla.s.s actress. He nodded his head as he cleared his mind for a moment. "A simple promise that was forgotten and even cause someone's life…"

Elizabeth was taken aback from what Director Mo just said, it made her curious what the promise could be?

What promise could her mother possibly made back then that it caused someone's life?

"You know Li Zi, I wonder if Lady Zhao still remembers that promise, the fact she became so famous during those times I'm sure she couldn't be bothered about it..." Director Mo spoke in a direct manner hoping this time the girl will react to it.

Elizabeth was upset that the man was saying bad things about her mother. Who was he to slander her mother in front of her? But what annoyed her the most was the fact that she does not know what the promise her mother made.

Director Mo notices that the girl's expression slightly changing. Despite none of what he said was true, he needed to lie in order to get the truth from the girl.

As the man continues to say horrible things about Lady Zhao, the girl was unable to control her temper and yelled.

"Enough! She is not like that!"

Elizabeth did not know what to do when her body moved on its own and slammed the table as she stood up and glared furiously at the man.

Director Mo gave the girl a pleasing smile, "I know, since you're not like that…"

Elizabeth was bewildered to what the man meant and what his true intention is by pus.h.i.+ng her to her limit.

"Director I don't understand what you're trying to say?"

"I mean, she has raised you well. She sure has taken a good care of you." Director Mo bluntly said, knowing the girl will surely continue to deny the truth.

The girl felt trapped and did not know what to do, she thought hard of a way to escape from it. "Director, I think you've confused me for someone else."

"Director Mo Chang was my father. My father directed 3 of her movies, 2 of her drama series. I grew up watching her blossom with my father and mother's guidance. I'm sure I can tell if I'm looking at her daughter or not. Just the way you smile is exactly like her even though most of your facial features are from your father."

Elizabeth was a sensible type of person, seeing that the man has no malice within his word and spoke about her parents with such sincerity and pride. She did not feel the need to hide things from him, and took the risk.

"Since when did you find out Director Mo?"

"Since the day I've met you, just your smile alone reminded me of her. The way you dress was also like her, simple yet worth a million. But everything about you is a female version of your father..."

Elizabeth giggled realizing the man really does know about her true ident.i.ty. She thought there was no need to continue to hide behind the bush and frankly asked, "So, why did you call me over Director Mo?"

"I need your help, to fulfill a long-forgotten promise your mother and my mother made. But we must go somewhere…"

Elizabeth did not hesitate and agree to go with the man without question, he seems to be a person who won't dare relieve her ident.i.ty to anyone. Also, she was curious as well to what promises her mother made and how she can help and fulfill it.
