Chapter 106 - You shouldnt like me (1/2)

Sara was beginning to think it was a bad idea following Muchen into his study. She stood by the door as soon as the got in and refused to go further inside. ”What is it you wanted to say?” He asked as he rested his body on his office desk. He knew she was not going to sit. So he didn't bother using the chair either.

”Why aren't you leaving for work yet?” She asked politely.

Muchen ran his eyes over the study. Was he supposed to tell her that he had been working all night after the party and didn't want more pressure about going to work? ”I'll leave in a while. So tell me what you wanted to say privately. I do not believe that was the question you wanted to ask me” He said pointedly with his gaze not moving from her.

”I .. I was... I...” Sara thought of anything to lie about. She had never been a good liar and now she was beginning to regret that.

”You what?” He asked. When he saw she wasn't saying anything, he scratched his head and spoke. ”Don't tell me you brought me here to give them privacy?”

Sara tried to deny it but she laughed instead. She couldn't believe she was able to laugh now. And it gave her off. Muchen was always so good at reading her.

”Mr Li. You need to understand. He came to see her but you were making them uncomfortable.” She treid to make him understand by all means.

Muchen moved closer to her and took her hand as he led her to where he had been sitting to make sure she sat on the table beside him.

”Are you sure you didn't do this to give us privacy instead?” He asked cunningly.

Sara suddenly choked and tried to get up but he held her back down. ”You don't have to overreact. I was joking.” He said gently. After a pause, he continued ”I don't just trust Jin Cearo. You can say I have trust issues” He opened up.

Sara looked up at him. ”It's hard to believe that when you easily employed me and gave me the password to your apartment”

He smiled at her and pinched her chin gently. ”That's because you are different. I trust you Sara.”

Sara's breath ceased for a while and she met his eyes. For some reason, Muchen felt something was wrong as he searched her eyes. They both looked at each other quietly for a bit before she stood up abruptly and turned to face the door with her back facing Muchen. He didn't do anything but just watched her. ”Why?” She asked in a hoarse voice.
