Chapter 76 - Your time is up (1/2)

”It's all good. I think I can understand it from your perspective also. And I'm sorry for also overreacting that day. I was not in the right mood”

”You are always not in the right mood” Ms Long laughed when she remembered Sara had also mentioned not being in the right mood to Hansong.

They both smiled at each other. And with that, thir little tiff finally ended.

”Yes, what did you come here for again?”

Sara was about answering when she saw Dexi heading their way. 'Oh god!'

Ms Long was also uncomfortable with his presence. But she just couldn't shoo him away.

”It's Sara right? I'll drop you off” Dexi said with a smile.

”I'm not interested. Ms Long, you could give me a ride home right?” She asked.

Ms Long nodded. Dexi looked at her properly for the first time. ”I know you right?” He asked her. Ms Long nodded and introduced herself.

”No Wonder I felt you looked familiar. But what is Mr Li's Secretary doing with her?” He asked.

”Mind your business already. Let's go Ms Long” Sara interrupted. She was able to understand what Ms Long had been saying about people only seeing her as Mr Li's Secretary.

”No problem. I'll still tail you guys to your place. It would be easier to visit you then” He replied nonchalantly.

”Are you dumb or you think I'm dumb? If I let you drop me off won't you also know my place?”

”Then have a word with me and you won't have to do both” He replied. ”You forgot this” He handed her the face cap.

Sara rudely collected it from him and asked.

”Who do you think you are to give me options?”

”Me? I'm...No one.” He said with a smile then added ”Please...”

Sara looked at her watch. It was just slightly after Five in the evening. She still had time. Besides that, she didn't want him following her to Mr Chu's apartment.

”Ms Long. Thank you. I'll have a word with him”

Ms Long did not know whether to leave Sara with him or not. She was aware that Sara could take care of herself after watching her earlier. Another conflict that arose within her; She didn't know whether to report today's incident to Mr Li or not. But she knew she had to in case Zhang Hansong tried to come after Sara.

”Let's go inside” He said.

”You must really be fond of ordering people around. We'll talk here. And make it snappy” Sara said.

”Talk Here?” He looked around. They were standing outside the restaurant. How was he supposed to stand here and speak with her?

”Let's talk in my car then... please...” He added again.

They both got to the car park. Sara placed the bag containing the meal on his SUV's hood and folded her arms. ”You have 5 minutes” She declared.

Dexi laughed. ”You must have been an empress in your previous life to be so bossy now”
