Shen Mian felt pain on her chest being introduced as an old friend. What made her even more uneasy was how Lu Fang was holding the girl so close, by the waist.

She was still in a daze looking at the couple when Andrea spoke, "It's nice to meet you, Ms. Shen."

"Ah… It's nice to meet you too." She said this while standing up to shake her hand.

Andrea smiled at Shen Mian and extended her hand politely.

"Wow. I did not know you already had a girlfriend, Fang… And, she is beautiful - "

Lu Fang's brows knitted at her remark and said, "Mian, we barely talked since your family left. In fact, we haven't spoken to each other in months and whenever we did, we spoke purely about business. So you would not really know. "

"Hmmm… Yes, that's right – "

"We need to head out now, Mian, we are both very hungry and I have a long day ahead of me. If you will excuse – "

"Can I join you?" She interrupted the man. "If… If you don't mind. I haven't had lunch myself."

Lu Fang, "???"

Andrea's thoughts were screaming, 'Thick-faced b***h. Cant, you take a hint?' However, she smiled and just looked at the man beside her, waiting for his reply.

"Mian, we can catch up another time. I'd really rather not share the attention of my girlfriend at the moment. Gao Rou can take you." Lu Fang did not wait for an answer and stepped out of the office with Andrea.

Seeing the door shut in front of her, Shen Mian's expression became gloomy. Suddenly, she felt she could not breathe and sat back to the chair behind her. She held onto a portion of her dress firmly and moments later she began to cry.

Four years ago, she decided to go abroad with her family and improve herself by taking further studies while working for bigger corporations. She wanted to make herself a better fit for Lu Fang.

Thanks to Wu Miewan feeding her with ideas, she brought problems to their relationship instead of working on her personal growth. She often demanded more time from the man. Sometimes, she would show up during meetings without his knowledge, leaving Lu Fang in a difficult spot. This was the suggestion given to her as a way of showing affection, but instead, it made him become distant towards her.

On top of that, Meiwan would create lies, telling her that Lu Fang may be seeing another woman behind her back creating paranoia and uncertainty within that she would end up arguing with the man whenever they were together.

At that time, Lu Fang was still establishing himself within the company as the director for sales and marketing for Lu-Wei Enterprises' infrastructure investments. He was up for promotion to be the new Vice President so he spent most of his hours increasing the company's assets, making sure all credits go to him.

Lu Fang felt he was too preoccupied with more important matters so when Shen Mian asked for them to end their relationship, he easily agreed. Unknown to him, deep down, she was hurt by the decision especially since he showed no doubt and regret in letting go.

She told herself that maybe this was not the right time for them to be together. She would come back a better and stronger person so she can stand beside him in all his conquest. Who could have known that someone would come between them?

As she sat there, questions were running through her mind.

'What can I do?'

'Who is she? I need to know!'

'How dare she?'

She instantly called her mother for help, "Mother! He has a girlfriend now! What should we do? What should I do?"

"Calm down, my child. They are not yet married. I'll call the Lus and schedule a visit with them… Don't worry. I'll take care of everything."

Meanwhile, Go Boling was driving the couple to a nearby restaurant when Andrea started the conversation. "Did you love her?"

Lu Fang turned to check on her. She was looking outside the window when he took her hand to hold it tight. "I don't know. Maybe not. It was different when I was with her and now that I am with you."

"I love you and that's what matters now."

Seeing Andrea had no reaction and still looking on the outside, he let out a sigh and asked, "What are you doing? And why are you sitting far away from me? Come closer to me!"

She instantly frowned at being told what to do and said to him, "Why does it sound like you are dictating me? If you want something badly, come and get it yourself! You come closer to me!"

"Hmmm… Babe, are you mad?"

"No."

"Are you jealous?"

"No."

"Why are you acting this way?"

"My intuition tells me, she's going to piss me off."

"I'm not going to let that happen, Babe." The man immediately moved his body closer to Andrea's side and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Somehow, she felt that trouble was coming and that Shem Mian was capable of breaking them apart. Suddenly, Andrea felt fear. It was the same feeling she had when Gabriel was slipping away from her, but this time, the feeling was more intense. She could not explain it. She never feared death nor a group of men with knives or guns, yet, she was genuinely afraid of losing this man next to her. Andrea knew she needed to watch out for this woman and protect what's hers.

"Fang..."

"Hmmm… Yes, babe."

The man looked at her closely and could see a change in her expression. She had already turned to his direction and held his tie while seemingly playing with it.

"I hate you…"

Lu Fang, "???"

Go Bolin was observing quietly from the front and his heart began to race. He felt like jumping out of the car at what the lady boss was about to say.

Before the man could object, Andrea pulled him closer using his tie and gave a peck on the lips. "You stole my heart and I hate you for that… Can I steal your last name too?"

Then without a second to spare, her lips were covered with his... She was kissed without a care in the world.

Although Go Bolin was relieved that it was not what he had thought, he once again witnessed the couple's display affection. He swore to convince his master to buy a limo or customize a sports car with added partition.
