The Witch CEO Is NOT A Demoness Chapter 35 - Waiting In Vain

Chapter 35 - Waiting In Vain

Xiao Mei was humming tunes while preparing her dress.

It had been two hours. She had been trying to find a suitable dress for her. All her closets were filled with different types of signature dresses worth thousands of dollars, but she found all of it unworthy for tonight's occasion.

When she did not find any dress that she fancied, she immediately grabbed her purse and went out the hotel. She was currently living inside 'Luxury', a five-star hotel owned by Lu MinFeng.

At first, she wanted to change place because she was afraid of that bad gege. But after she learned that it was MinDe who was currently managing the hotel, she gritted her teeth and tried to swallow her fear.

For the sake of her lovelife, she had to be brave.

'Jia You![1]' Xiao Mei was on the 37th floor and she was currently walking towards the elevator.

The main office of the hotel was at the uppermost part of the building. While she was waiting for the elevator to arrive, she turned around and stared at the private elevator on the opposite side.

The private elevator can only be used by those prestigious people in the business world. Although Xiao Mei was surnamed Xiao and the Heiress of Infinite Airlines, it wouldn't change the fact that she could not receive such treatment. If she used her grandfather's power, she might be able to, but right now, she was on the run, hiding from her family.

The elevator's door opened. She went inside and pressed the close b.u.t.ton. As the doors closed, the private elevator opened. She saw two silhouettes inside the elevator. The woman turned and whispered something towards the man. When the woman went out, she saw the man's face. Although she only saw half of his face because he was looking sideways while holding a phone, the first thing she noticed was his resemblance of MinDe.

She was unable to clearly see if she was correct because the elevator already closed the door.

'Was it... Nahhh.. Impossible! My beloved MinDe won't betray me. Besides, he's a shy man. He won't let those nasty women near him. Only I can touch him. No one else. Mmm.. Yup! It's not him. Definitely not him.' She decided to forget about it.

Xiao Mei went to the mall and entered countless boutiques to choose her OOTD[2].

After she saw a peach colored knee-length dress, she immediately bought it without even counting the zeros on the tag.

After buying a dress, she immediately went to a salon for a total makeover.

She instructed the makeup artist to do a Korean-style[3] look.

She did ManiPedi[4] and straightened her hair.

After 6 hours of beauty care, she was ready to knock this Second Young Master up!

She turned a couple of times before she stared at herself in front of the mirror. Seeing that she looks beautiful. She inwardly complimented herself.

'Good!! MinDe will drool after seeing me!'

Xiao Mei drove her car towards their meeting place, The Royals. It was quarter to six already, few more minutes before MinDe arrive. She was sitting inside, waiting for him when a waiter came and asked for her order.

"I'm still waiting for someone. I'll call you again later."

"Yes ma'am."

The waiter nodded. Time slowly ran. It was exactly 6 pm in the evening but she could not see MinDe, not even his shadow.

She already notified the management, so, if he arrived, they would immediately usher him towards her table.

One hour..

Two hours...

Three hours...

It was already 9pm in the evening. She had been waiting for almost three hours. She was already famished, but she did not eat because she did not want to let MinDe eat alone.

The waiter returned. Unsure what to say. "Uhm.. Ma'am.. It seems like the one you were waiting for was busy. You should eat first while waiting." Thinking that maybe MinDe was really busy, she decided to order first.

{11:30 pm}

"Ma'am... We are sorry but the restaurant is closing." Xiao Mei was startled. She was staring in a daze when the waiter talked.

"Oh..."After paying the bill, she left the restaurant, leaving a drop of tear on the table.

Few minutes later, a black Mercedes Benz drove away from the restaurant.

Feng Jiu was currently wiping her hands.

She was inside the restroom. She leaned on the lavatory. She closed her eyes, trying to control her emotions. She already fixed herself. If someone saw her right now, they wouldn't believe that the woman that was defiled a while ago and the woman that was currently in front of the mirror was the same. There was no longer any trace of what happened earlier. She already wiped herself clean. Even the smell of s.e.x that was lingering on her body had already vanished.

Her eyes were still closed when her phone rang. Xiao Mei was calling her. "Ah Jiu... Can you stay with Ah Mei for now? I don't want to be alone."

Xiao Mei's voice sounded hoa.r.s.e, as if she cried and bawled like a child.

"Ah Mei? Is there something wrong?"

"No... Ah Mei just misses Ah Jiu... Can you come here?"

"Sure... Where are you...?"

"I'm at the park near the station."

"You commuted?"

"No. I drove my car but when I saw the park, I suddenly thought of our childhood days. So, I went inside and sat on the swing."

"Okay.. I'll come over quickly. Wait for me.."

"Mmm.. *sniff* only Ah Jiu treats me best.." Xiao Mei ended the call.

Feng Jiu also wanted to sit, relax and recall their childhood days. It was better than to cry in the corner, better than to think about MinFeng.

Every time she thought of him, her heart would hurt.. She was always in pain... Even if she waited for him endlessly, she would just wait in vain..

'Because you cannot force love. You cannot teach someone how to love, and as for me, loving Little b.u.mp is enough.'

Author's Side Note:

Yehey!! It's done!!

Someone asked me why I used Chinese Names instead of Filipino Names.

I dunno.. I'm really weird.. When I was crazy with anime, All the novels I wrote were j.a.panese-themed.

Same with when I was into Kpop and K-drama. And of course when Watty was just starting (DNP and She's Dating were very famous back then.)

And now, It's been 2 years since I started reading Chinese novels so maybe that's the reason. I'm into Chinese right now. Heheh~

I tried to learn Mandarin like what I did with nihonggo and hangeul but... Urgh..

Anyway, it's Sunday tomorrow~

It's Me Day~

Update schedule:

2 chapters everyday at 11pm PST (GTM+8) except Sunday.

See ya on Monday.
