Lorena My C E O baby

The clock was just about to strike 12 midnight when she hit the bar.

Era Xu was sporting a mini skirt as she waved her chestnut curly hair. The bright lights on the dance floor were flickering constantly, and her black silk gloves were slipping along the edge of the glass.

Today was actually her 18th birthday. And it was such a lonely, but rather extravagant night.

Since her mother’s passing four years ago, nobody had ever remembered her birthday anymore. What was worse, her father just couldn't wait to bring his mistress home. As a matter of fact, it had barely even been a month since Era Xu's mother passed away when the mistress moved into the Xu family along with her daughter.

As she looked back, tears started welling up in Era's eyes. It left such a bitter taste that it almost ruined her delicate smoky eye makeup. To try to hold back the tears that were about to fall, she hurriedly closed her eyes.

Before her mother left her, she told Era that she must do her best to endure the pain in her heart and keep smiling even when she's no longer around to protect her.

She did as her mother asked. In these past couple of years, she managed to keep smiling no matter what.

She kept smiling even when her sister, who was only three months younger than her, took away her elaborately decorated room, all of her favorite clothes, and even her boyfriend, whom she grew up together with.

'Mom was right. You can’t call yours what others can easily take away.'

As she was deep in thought, a man in his twenties was making his way through the crowd toward Era Xu. She hadn't caught his eye until just now.

He walked over and turned her around, and then his handsome face leaned in closer very slowly. Era Xu couldn’t really hold her liquor that well, so when she felt alcohol kicking in, she lost her balance and grabbed onto the man's neck unconsciously.

Seeing this, the man felt so thrilled with her response. So, he went ahead and kissed her with his hands at the back of her head.

'My God!' The strong smell of perfume made Era Xu feel so nauseous. At that very moment, all she wanted was to get rid of the man.

However, the man simply held her even tighter. "Let's go. I'll take you somewhere else."

"No. Get your hands off me," she flatly refused, shaking her head. Indeed, she might have come here to have some fun, but she was still conscious enough to recognize that the man in front of her wasn’t her type at all even though she was already feeling a bit tipsy.

"Let's go, baby. I promise I’m going to show you a really good time…" With a lecherous smile on his face, the man persuaded her to leave the dance floor with him.

"Hey, let go of me!" Era Xu struggled to push him away, but she was much too weak to shake him off. In no time at all, the man had taken her out of the bar.

A gust of cold wind blew over, making her shiver for a while as she tried to pull herself together. "Get your hands off me! Go away from me!" She twisted her body in an attempt to loosen the man's grip on her body. But then, the man got a hold of her right away and said, "Babe, please behave yourself."

"Who are you calling baby? Go fuck yourself!" As they tore at each other in front of the bar, they accidentally bumped into a hard "black tower".

Raising her head to check what they collided with, she stared right into a pair of dark, deep and cold eyes. What a handsome man! His tall and muscular figure was at least over 186 centimeters. The well-dressed black suit highlighted his burly figure. Based from his facial features, it was apparent that he was a mixed-blood. East meeting West seemed to have that much of an advantage. His skin was dark brown, but that didn’t do anything to lessen his appeal. Far from being repulsive, the smell of his perfume simply added to his male charm, and his short hair made him look more casual and ostentatious.

In her mind, Era Xu swore he must have been the most handsome man her eyes had ever seen!
