Chapter 27 - A love confession (1/2)

Li Muchen was startled by her question.

He looked at her and blinked severally, trying to understand what she actually meant.

Sara seemed to realise that there was something wrong in the way she asked the question.

She moved her gaze from his and stuttered.

”Actually... I... I am trying to say that.. you know, as an employee and employer, we are supposed to have a cordial relationship. And you know... ” She had wanted to end it with 'like each other' but no matter how she thought about it. It felt weird, putting it that way.

Li Muchen who was still looking at her, suddenly spoke.

”Yes!”

Sara looked at him in confusion. What was he actually saying yes to? she wondered. Was he saying yes to the fact that they were both supposed to have a cordial relationship?

When he saw her confused state, he clarified.

”yes, I do like you....”

Sara's eyes met his. There was something weird in the way he said it. She was at a lost of words and was saved by his interruption.

”As an employee. And I believe you would be able to assist Heya”

Sara sighed in relief when she heard him. She was about to say something else when he suddenly spoke again.

”Do you like me?”

Awkward! Awkward!! Awkward!!!

”To be frank Mr Li, Since you have actually been rather cold to me, I do not really have a good impression of you. But I believe....”

He didn't wait for her to continue before he nodded and spoke.

”No worries! you will like me soon!”

What was that? Sara had never met someone so complicated and unreadable. How was she supposed to work with this Mr Li?

”Is this a love confession scene?” Heya who was standing at the staircase behind them suddenly asked.

She had been on her way down when she suddenly heard Li Muchen ask if Sara liked him. Then Sara had said she had no good impression of him and he had assures her that she would like him soon.

When she heard all these, her imagination couldn't help running wild.

They both turned their heads to see Heya standing behind them with a Curious gaze.

Li Muchen smiled. He did not bother clarifying anything. While Sara, spoke out.
