Qin Zhuzhu thought about over and over again. It wasn’t that her head was imagining things or voices. She was very sure that masked man called her Little Pearl back there.
There was only one person who would call her that na. Qin Zhuzhu gripped her phone tightly, fingers hovering above his number. Will he answer if she called? What if the number was discontinued already?
In the end, Qin Zhuzhu ended up tossing her phone onto her bed with herself. She stared at the blank ceiling.
"Qin Zhuzhu, Qin Zhuzhu, what are you afraid of?" She chided held herself.
Curious about it, Qin Zhuzhu wanted to et that masked man again. He appeared when she needed help the most. Who sent him and who was he?
How can she et him again? If her instincts were right, then he should be....
The next night, Qin Zhuzhu was invited to a welco party arranged by the fashion company. It was like a welco party, held in a hotel.
"Last ti, we didn’t get to officially welco you and the others to the company. So here I take the opportunity to raise my glass with all of you for a smooth and steady cooperation," Li Shao held a glass of wine up.
The others followed suit. Everyone was happy and excited to get to know each other. After drinking and toasting, the waiters ca and served so dishes.
Qin Zhuzhu restraint herself from gobbling up her food even though she was hungry. She had to think of her manners in front of others.
Li Shao was seated beside Qin Zhuzhu. Bai Qianhua was seated opposite.
"You don’t rember , Zhuzhu?" Li Shao smiled, looking hopefully at her.
"Uh?" The girl had a confused look on her face.
"Hahaha," Li Shao laughed kindly. "We known each other for many years! You can’t recognize ?"
"Eh..uh... Let think," Qin Zhuzhu racked her brains but she couldn’t think of anything.
Li Shao smiled tenderly as he watched her expression. "I knew you wouldn’t rember! Last ti, I used to be very short and sickly. It was because of your encouragent and words that made who I am today. Zhuzhu, it’s okay you can’t rember. As long as I rember you, it’s okay," Li Shao’s words were touching and sincere.
Qin Zhuzhu could only laugh along with him. She had really forgotten who he was! It’s been so long since her high school days and coupled with the fact that she focused all of her ti on her family in the past years, her mory had no space for anyone else.
Far away at another table, Bai Qianhua glared at them, green with envy, as she swirled the wine in her glass. Why was this bitch so popular everywhere she goes?
From the looks of it, Qin Zhuzhu had a good relationship with Li Shao who was the CEO of the very company they were working at. If Li Shao chose to help her, Qin Zhuzhu will definitely outshined her and co out on top.
"I would like to toast to Sister Qin. Your Phoenix Coronet Dipped In Wine was really amazing," Bai Qianhua suddenly lifted her glass while smiling lightly at her.
This Bai Qianhua was definitely up to no good. But she can’t refuse to drink, right? Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they might think that she was purposely trying to embarrass Bai Qianhua!
"Thanks. Your designs are not bad too," Qin Zhuzhu said that politely and tilted her glass, swallowing the liquid.
In terms of creativity and designs, Sanya actually was the best. Because Sanya’s uncle run a fashion company for many years, Sanya learnt a lot under his guidance.
It was just that Sanya didn’t join a big company like Li Shao’s company. If she did, she might beco more famous and rich!
In parties and events like this, it was hard not to get drunk. Bai Qianhua purposely toast to Qin Zhuzhu a few tis, using the thod of public pressure to make Qin Zhuzhu drink.
She’s trying to get drunk. Qin Zhuzhu could guess that Bai Qianhua was up to sothing.
"What? Is Sister Qin not going to drink?" Bai Qianhua asked, smiling gently.
At this second, Li Shao wasn’t at the table. He had stood up and went over to the other side to toast to a few of his friends who had co to join in the fun.
"After you," Qin Zhuzhu said, watching Bai Qianhua drink before she drink hers.
Bai Qianhua seed to be clear-headed like the wine had no effect on her. But Qin Zhuzhu was starting to feel drowsy.
"I need to go to the toilet," Qin Zhuzhu excused herself and staggered out the door.
Because the party was held in a private lounge, Qin Zhuzhu had to get the keys from the person in charge to co out of the lounge.
Bai Qianhua watched Qin Zhuzhu leave, she raised her phone to her lips, a sly smile on her pink lips.
"Get ready,"
"Yes, miss. As long as you say it, we can do anything you want us to,"
Qin Zhuzhu knew that Bai Qianhua might play so kind of evil trick when she’s in this state.
Her vision started to get more and more blurry, causing her to stagger in the hallway. Looking up, she saw the bathroom signboard jumping left and right. A splitting headache ca lashing at her like thunder.
Qin Zhuzhu could hold her alcohol well. Her tolerance was in the middle even though it was not as well as in the past. But she had gotten drunk and dizzy too fast! It was just a few cups! This didn’t feel like getting drunk.
Unless.... unless....
She was drugged!
How did Bai Qianhua drugged her?! There were so many people at the party and she was keeping an eye on her the whole ti.
Fuck! She shouldn’t have leave the party. It would have been more safe with many people around.
But when she turned back, she could no longer recognize which lounge was the fashion company’s.
