5 Step and Chase 2 (1/2)

”Jie'er! Oy, Jie'er! You are not listening to me again!” Han Feng shouted on the phone. His tone of voice clearly showed that he was already at his end wits. Since there was no one responding from the other line, Han Feng needed and had to find another option.

Jonah felt the phone vibrating in his laps. He dropped the shopping bag that he was holding with both hands to answer his phone.

He was currently behind Han Jie waiting, as she continued standing in the middle of the mall with a phone next to her ear. His face is already red due to embarrassment as the people in the mall were glancing at them for being in the way.

When he saw who was calling, Johan was surprised but still, he answered carefully. ”Hello, sir?” His boss was calling him.

Why? Wasn't he still talking to Han Jie?

”What happened to my daughter? Where is she? She is not responding.” Han Feng immediately exclaimed, feeling his headache due to stress.

”She's in front of me, sir.” Jonah replied respectfully, before patting Han Jie's shoulder and asked, ”Miss? Is there a problem? Your father is looking for you.”

Han Jie did not reply, but before he makes another move, the phone that she is holding the ground.

”Jonah.” She called and turned around to look at him, somewhat stunned. ”Slap me.” Han Jie said completely ignoring her scattered phone pieces.

Eh? What are you talking about? Do you want me to lose my job?

Jonah laughed nervously as he stepped back to get away from her. ”Miss, you're kidding.”

”No. I'm serious. Slap me. Punch me or kick me. I need to make sure I'm not dreaming.” She said seriously as she stepped towards him.

”Miss Jie! Your father is worried. Why don't you talk to him and ask him rather than me hurting you?” He suggested. It is now official, Han Jie was a masochist. wasn't the full body waxing enough proof?

”Tsk. I can't. He will make sure that it will be very painful.” Han Jie replied pouting before she pinched her arm. ”Painful!” She declared before running to the restaurant near them.

”Miss, where are you going? Wait for me!” Jonah called out as he chased her. helplessly, He could only do so while updating his boss. ”Sir, the miss went to a restaurant. I think that she must be hungry and wants to eat so badly.”

Han Feng just replied with a grunt before hanging up. He would just have to deal with his daughter later.

Jonah immediately found Han Jie on the far end of the restaurant close to the restroom and stairs. It was lunchtime and there were a lot of people dining as well, but the place was not noisy at all. Mostly, there were groups of men who look like they were primarily working for the same company.

Jonah frowned unhappily as the waitresses and his miss were the only female in that area. However, Han Jie did not seem to mind it, and there was no one looking at her strangely. so it seemed alright.

Still, Jonah feels that something in the situation was not right even though he was not sure what it was.

Johan saw her signaling him to come over and sit down. ”Is it fine to sit here?” He asked, looking for any indication that the table was reserved, but found none.
