Eva and Yu Shao finally got to the dining room and Eva saw that Lee Ming was already sitting. She felt awkward when she saw him.
Why didn't the man start eating yet?...the food was already served.
Was he waiting for her?
Eva shook her head not to think of herself so highly.
Eva and Lee Ming locked eyes momentarily and Eva finally looked away after few seconds.
Yu Shao offered her the seat that was diagonally at Lee Ming's right hand. She reluctantly sat down. She felt Lee Ming's intense gaze still on her and she couldn't help it anymore but had to break the ice.
"Ehemm..you would have started eating. You really didn't have to wait for me"
Lee Ming looked at her for a while before answering
"Why wouldn't I wait? You are my guest after all. It is more appropriate that we start eating the same time"
Eva didn't know what to say so she looked at Yu Shao for a while and the lady only gave her a reassuring smile.
Lee Ming looked at Yu Shao and the woman knew perfectly what her master wanted. Soon, Yu Shao left the dining room and she also drove the other servants to their quarters.
Lee Ming smirked before turning to the little woman for a while. Taking his cutlery, he started eating.
When Eva saw him eating, she also started eating. The meal was quiet. Only chewing could be heard. He chewed slowly and carefully while the woman by his side chewed violently.
Eva was resistant to eating the food at first but the moment her fork sank into the grilled beef and right into her mouth, she immediately remembered her mother's cooking and how tasty, juicy and healthy it was.
The sweet taste of the beef made Eva's taste buds dance in joy so she couldn't stop stuffing the food into her mouth. Though her cheeks were fulls, Eva still found a space to place more beef and rice.
"Take it easy or you will choke yourself" Lee Ming's alluring voice came to her hearing. She had totally forgot the man beside her.
"I'll be fine..." Before Eva could continue her words, a piece of beef got stuck in her throat and she began coughing. Her head was turning red fast.
Lee Ming didn't know what to do. He has never helped anyone who was choking before. He stood up from his chair and gently patted her back but it didn't stop.
At the same time, an extremely beautiful lady came into the house.
"I'm home" she said
But she didn't get any reply. She heard loud coughs coming from the dining room. She rushed to the dining room thinking it was Lee Ming who was coughing just for her to see a little woman with the most beautiful, shiny blue hair coughing.
Looking from the food on the table, the lady suddenly felt like this little woman was choking. And what was Lee Ming doing? Patting her gently like his was coaxing a baby to sleep?
The lady wanted to burst into laughter but thought about the girl that was choking. She walked straight to where they were and slightly pushed Lee Ming from the girl and used a certain method to get the stuck meat out from her throat. Lee Ming was watching closely. This little woman's head was turning blue already. Seconds later, the meat came flying out of Eva's mouth and unto the floor.
Eva caught her breath and slid on the chair, she had lost alot of air then and her eyes were watery.
She was about to tell Lee Ming thank you when she realized that the hands that held her where gentle, like a woman's.
She turned her head just to see a beautiful and sexy lady standing beside Lee Ming. Her eyes were so beautiful. The color was quite unfathomable.
The lady stretched her hand towards Eva "I'm Tae Ming. Lee Ming's elder sister"
"Ohhh...it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Eva. Eva Watson" She said taking Tae Ming's hand after she managed to form words.
Tae Ming already knew Eva's name but acted like she didn't.
"I'm really sorry to disturb you people's meal. You can continue, I'll go upstairs first" Tae Ming said walking away smiling.
Lee Ming knew exactly the kind of game his sister wanted to play.
"So you have an elder sister?...Nice" Eva said being at loss for words.
"Yes. Are you alright?" He asked
If not for Tae Ming who walked in at the right time, Eva certainly knew she would have been in the hospital right now.
Eva nodded. She didn't have appetite to eat anymore as she stood up and said "uhmm...I'm going back to my room. Thank you for the meal"
As she was about walking away, Lee Ming caught her wrist.
"You don't know your way back up. I'll escort you" he said as he stood up and walked with her up stairs.
Getting to her room, Lee Ming helped her open the door. But instead of him to go away, he walked into the room with her.
"I want to talk with you" he said noticing the surprised look in Eva's eyes.
"Okay" Eva said
They got to the bed in the room and sat down .Eva was staring at him waiting for why he has to say.
"You are my girlfriend from now on" He said
Eva wanted to start laughing but his serious face showed he wasn't joking. But a relationship only works if the two party's agree to it right?
Was she willing to be his girlfriend? No...she didn't even really know him yet.
Though she felt something strange anytime he locked eyes with her.
"What if I don't want to be?" She asked
"It's not a choice Eva." Lee Ming said as he stood and Eva stood up with him
"Well, I should have a say in this!" She said as she folded her hands.
The man ignored her words by shocking her with his next move. He slammed his lips on hers and kissed her passionately.
Eva was surprised at his actions. This guy had the guts to kiss her without her permission?. Not like she didn't like it anyway.
It felt good and soft and for some reason right?
Did it feel right because he just declared her his girlfriend?
Eva stop thinking nonsense. She told herself. Why would she think that kissing this guy felt right and good and soft?
Lee Ming was stunned at his own actions. He never planned to kiss her. It just happened. But he couldn't tell her he didn't know why he kissed her.
After pulling away from the sweet kiss, Eva was taken aback and stared at him with a lot going through her mind.
"You are my girlfriend now. That's what boyfriends do to their girlfriends" Lee Ming said and walked out of the room.
Her first kiss was shared with someone she didn't even have feelings for.
She went straight to the bathroom to wash and came out few minutes later and laid on the sofa bed.
Lee Ming's face was covered with a worried expression when he came out of the room. He never planned on kissing that little woman just now but it just happened. And he enjoyed it. But there was something bothering him.
He felt like he has kissed her before. But why? He just met this little woman not for too long now.
He tried to remove this thought from his head. But his sister's voice came to his ears
"Brother, just trust dad about her. You don't know, she might be the only one you can get close to" Tae Ming said with concern.
She actually came here to Lee Ming's house to see the girl he donated his blood to and to see how their relationship was.
"Just because I can touch her, doesn't mean she's the one" Lee Ming said
"Then why did you make her your girlfriend just now? And why did you kiss her?" Tae Ming's voice came in a mocking tone. Her brother didn't even know what he felt.
With that, Lee Ming walked to his room without looking back.
Tae Ming shook her head at her brother's attitude and decided to have a chat with Eva.
~~~~~
In the servants quarters, they talked among themselves.
"The master has never brought any woman home before"
"That's true. I wonder what's the change now"
"The master can't stay unmarried forever. Maybe Sir Ming is forcing him to marry now"
"Maybe she's just his mistress. Who knows"
"Would y'all mind your business" Yu Shao shouted at all the servants and they quieted down.
