"My taste is excellent. You won't find any woman as perfect as her," Luka's words stuck on Yana like sweet honey. This idiot...
If he was saying things like this, then their relationship would be misunderstood. But it did make Yana feel better.
Yana was aware that she was quite pretty and guys used to be all over her. So how in the world was she bad taste?
"But if you speak of bad taste, Mik, you should look at that vulgar woman next to you. Wearing something as exposed like this and acting as if you are about to jump into bed together at a charity event is just a disgrace," Luka finished his wine and looked at Yana with tender and expectant eyes as if he wanted her to praise him for doing a good job defending.
Yana never thought Luka could actually be this vicious. She secretly squeezed his hand under the table before quickly retracting it again. Luka smiled like a fool.
However, Mik and his girlfriend weren't happy about Luka's words and Boa's quiet laughter only stimulated Mik more.
"Assistant, what are you laughing for?" Mik barked and Bao instantly quieted down.
"Luka you brought two unfit people here. One a mere assistant and then a woman who knows where you picked up form."
"Honey, don't be angry," the girlfriend slung her arm around Mik's arm and acted all innocent and holy. Yana thought that Luka's words weren't nice. After all, if a woman wanted to be revealing then it was fine but the tight and short dress she wore where her boobs almost exploded out were really too unfitting for an occasion like this.
"Don't worry, babe, I won't let them badmouth you," Mik and his girlfriend were acting all lovey-dovey.
Yana didn't mind being insulted but seeing the hypocrisy she stopped Luka from talking and said, "What a wonderful sight, you both are really made for each other," Yana clapped her hands and smiled, "It's so wonderful that it made me think if we weren't in a theatre watching this fake play in front of us. Mik, if you want to insult someone you should be ready to take an insult that's 10 times worse and not be a big baby. And your lovely girlfriend should stop acting like a holy flower if all she does is cling onto a male and pretend to be so vulnerable that she can't even do a single, fucking shit apart from pleasing someone with her body."
"You!" Mik was so angry he actually slapped the table and glared at Yana wanting to tear her head off but just in time Luka chipped in, "She's right. You reap what you sow. If you say anything more than that, M.M will cease doing business with your company."
"Oh," Yana covered her mouth, "A CEO on top of that. I'm so sorry. I thought you were the illegitimate son of one, seeing how arrogant and defensive you were acting while fooling around. My mistake."
Yana really didn't anticipate that that Mik guy was a CEO. Judging by him sitting on a table with Luka, his company must also be pretty big and Yana just insulted such a bigshot. But it was fine since she could afford it.
The tension at the table rose until stifled laughter appeared that turned into a full-bloomed one. Yana looked to her left and saw a young man sitting next to her. He hasn't said anything yet but when his gaze met Yana's, the sharp eyes of his stunned her.
He was a very handsome individual, almost able to slap Luka once on the cheek. Yana didn't know if she should say something to him when the host finally got onto the stage.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, everyone, welcome to this year's-"
But Yana blurred out the host as the man next to her didn't tear his gaze off her.
She questioningly turned to him before Luka covered her eyes and whispered, "Don't look at him. He's dangerous."
"Do you know him?"
"No."
"...."
"But he doesn't seem good, I can discern people like this at first glance," Luka shot the man a glare who returned it with an eye smile.
Yana was left speechless. She also could discern people with bad intentions. While she did get weird vibes from him, she didn't think he was really dangerous. But it was best to be wary of him. Yana shot him a last glance before ignoring him.
Her heart thumped wildly. He was still staring at her. Feeling his eyes staring holes into her body, Yana forced herself to look at the stage and listen to the host.
However, it only brought a bigger calamity and misfortune upon Yana.
"I know everyone's waiting eagerly for the main event but ladies and gentlemen please be a bit more patient. For tonight's occasion, we have prepared a special small segment."
The hall was filled with murmurs and whispers. Yana could guess what this was not how it usually went. She had a bad feeling. She didn't know why but she felt uneasy.
"Since this is a charity, we thought it wouldn't be good to only have such esteemed guests do their best, right? Our esteemed guests can't be the only ones taking the burdens to care for people in need, right?"
The audience clapped in agreement. Yana slightly contorted her face. All these people putting up with their own pretence. What burden? What was their best? They were only throwing around their money they've exploited from the weak, without caring where the money went to, all this just to maintain their faces.
"So, we've prepared this special segment to showcase the common people doing their part. For this, we have chosen the project manager of a project that aims to help the people in need. The project manager will gladly hold their speech and convey the effort and goals of the project."
Wasn't this just an excuse to make fun of the common people? And ridiculing them by already hinting on how much lower they were than these esteemed guests?
"This project manager is from the M.M company!"
Yana dropped her fork, she had a very bad feeling.
"It's Miss Yana in charge of the orphanage project. She's also M.M's CEO's partner today. Miss Yana please come to the stage and present your speech!"
The host's cheerful voice hollered through the hall, "Miss Yana, please come to the stage."
Speech my ass! It was only to make fun of her!
"Yana," Luka held her arm but Yana knew she couldn't escape this. She was set up!
Someone set her up!
It wasn't hard to guess who.
Her eyes quickly swept across the whole room before she finally saw the trio of managers smirking.
"Ha," Yana sneered and her blood boiled. These fucking jerks. Fine, if they wanted to act like this, Yana would gladly entertain them.
An eye for three eyes.
