WHY ARE YOU HERE?

At the party...

Claire stared down at Mia in disdain and her stare turned into a sinister glare.

Who comes to someone's birthday party and then insults them? For someone as prideful as a rich heiress such as Claire, the whole situation was simply unacceptable.

She wanted to snap at Mia and return the fury that was boiling inside of her but remembering that Mia was a public figure, she quickly controlled her inner rage and bit back a comment.

She ignored the Korean idol who seemed to be persistent in her troublemaking before staring toward the large double doors as if expecting someone. She walked off with steady steps but immediately stopped in her tracks when she caught a streak of silver hair.

A huge grin graced her heavily painted face as she swathed her hips and walked towards the godly figure who had caught her eyes. Her arrogant skin was immediately shed off and happiness bloomed inside of her like a flower on a spring day.

Mia noticed her shift in expressions and traced her gaze only to be met with a figure standing nonchalantly by the door with an arrogant stance. One hand was in his pocket while the other continued operating the phone in his hand.

The loud blaring sound of the music stopped instantaneously and everyone present seemed to have been frozen in time as they all stared at him with awestruck gazes.

He seemed to have noticed the sudden change in the atmosphere and his gaze momentarily shifted from his phone to scan the room. Looking at the stares he got, there wasn't even a slight change in his temperament rather his nonchalant silver eyes held an arrogant feel in them. Sneering slightly, his gaze returned back to his phone.

Mia gasped the minute she caught a glimpse of his silver eyes.

'Those eyes...' she pondered. She could swear that she had seen them somewhere and not just the regular contact lenses worn by K-pop idols, she was sure that his was real and strangely familiar too but she couldn't pinpoint where she had seen them from.

She turned to Li Shen only to find out that instead of the usual state of shock or admiration that was exhibited by everyone else, his expression was gleaming with utter happiness.

Her brows knitted, 'Does he know him?... Wait! is that breathtaking figure supposed to be my brother-in-law?'

She snapped her gaze back to Adrian at the entrance who still had no intention of leaving the spot as if taking delight in the uproar he had caused amongst the people. His gaze still remained unperturbed and fixated on his phone like it was more important than the people gaping at him.

Mia smirked in satisfaction. Her gaze lingered on Adrian for a short while and she nodded seemingly satisfied with the view.

'Queen, I always knew that you liked the prettiest things but this is by far the prettiest candy you've owned so far. I'm so proud of you, seems like all of my trainings were of good use.' Mia thought and took a bite out of the cherry cake in front of her.

Just as Claire reached Adrian, she drew in a sharp breath and plastered a sweet smile across her face, filling her eyes with his godly yet mysterious appearance.

Adrian noticed the harsh perfume of the girl in front of him and his nose wrinkled involuntarily. He hated it, it was so harsh and pungent, unlike the sweet scent he got from a certain narcissistic and mischievous being. He completely ignored her presence but continued staring down at his phone not ready to corrupt his eyes with her appearance.

Claire's smile never left her face for once, even with the heavy makeup, she still managed to pull off that sexy look afterall she wasn't the campus supposed belle for no reason.

With a somewhat seductive tone, she called out, "I'm so gl..."

"I have made it clear that I'll be busy in a few hours, just deal with the situation and make sure you get the accurate information."

A soft but harsh tone was heard accompanied by the gentle clinking of heels and Claire paused in her statement. 'Did he bring a date? Impossible!!! I only sent him one invitation.' The smooth smile that was once plastered on her face twitched.

As soon as Kiaraa reached the door, she paused with the phone hanging in her ear. Her deep amber eyes gazed at Claire who had her hand hanging in mid-air, obviously about to welcome Adrian. Her gaze traveled to the people behind Claire who seemed not to have gotten out of their trance.

She then threw a questioningly gaze at Adrian who only raised a brow and urged her to go on with her phone call.

'Did something happen?' she pondered deeply and her gaze lingered on him but the persistent voice coming from her phone brought her back.

She spoke softly, "I...I... I'll get back to you later, something came up." And with that, she ended the call abruptly with her gaze not shifting from Adrian's face.

She then scanned her surroundings once more before returning her gaze back to Adrian. She instinctively tugged at his arm looking up at him cutely. With a quiet tone not loud enough for anyone to hear, she asked, "What's going on here?"

"Ignore them," he whispered back and threw a knowing gaze at Li Shen across the room before returning his gaze back to his phone.

Claire seemed to have been stunned on the spot. Her beautiful face held a myriad of utter disbelief. She quietly stared at the interaction between Adrian and Kiaraa and her blue eyes narrowed to slits.

"I remember only sending an invitation to him then why are you here?" she directed her question at Kiaraa which earned her a deathly glare from the one standing beside her.

Kiaraa let go of Adrian's arm and huffed inwardly.

'Oh great! just great. I let go of my cold attitude for just a minute and now this fish had the nerve to question my presence.'
