Chapter 115 - A Simple life (1/2)
Sara was almost entering the room when she heard Jianjun, who was inside the room, speak. ”I can't believe Delight's head chef is scouting me now. I must say I'm really flattered.”
Sara's attention was drawn to the conversation. She withdrew her hand from the door's knob and tried to eavesdrop with her ear on the door. 'The head chef in delight wanted him to work there? Wow!' She thought.
”That was in the past. I don't intend to live an extravagant life like my parents did” She heard him say.
Sara's eyes shone. 'Did he just mention his parents? So whoever he was speaking with actually knew his parents?'
She heard him laugh gently before saying ”Thank you Mr Park. And I do not mean to be rude, but I am really okay with running a small restaurant. That's all.” A little pause before he spoke again. ”She is out now. I'll let her know when she returns”
'She? Are they talking about me?' She was jolted back to reality by the sudden opening of the door. Jianjun was startled to find her there. ”When did you come?” He asked nervously.
”I just got in now. I was about opening the door” She masked her anxiety with a smile.
After Jianjun left for the kitchen, Sara thought back to what she heard. Didn't he tell the Mr Park that he was going to let her know something when she returned? But her father hadn't said anything.
She was glad tomorrow was a free day for her. She would be going to Delight for the second time tomorrow.
She looked around the room for something to indulge herself with. She had been considering taking a part-time job also. But she had to take care of her health.
It was 4pm. Joreen was still busy in school, practicing for their end of session party. Sara contemplated texting Muchen about her meeting with Hoy. She suddenly remembered Hoy. He looked so cold, yet, he was such a warm person. Seeing him today made her remember the first time she saw Muchen. His expression had been quite similar to Hoy's when she looked at him that day. But who would have thought he was actually a considerate person? Same with Hoy who had even invited her to G-Global's 5th anniversary celebration– which she wasn't going to attend anyway.
She wanted to at least know how Muchen was doing. She hadn't heard from him in a day. Maybe he was busy? She decided to text instead. At least, he would see it whenever he was free.
'Mr Li. I met Director Li today. We talked about Joreen and..' She canceled the whole text and paced around the room. ”What if he doesn't call or text back even after reading the text? Shouldn't I just call?” She wondered.
