Chapter 116 - Make a little noise (1/2)
Sara's next stop was at Delight. She was relieved to have easily passed through without the doormen giving her trouble like the last time. Maybe because they weren't the same people she had met the last time or because she was dressed better unlike the last time.
She had more confidence this time. Even though she wore knockoffs, her confidence outshone it as she strode in.
”Hello” She smiled at the girl on the counter. She noticed that this wasn't the same girl she had met the other time and couldn't help wondering the number of employees Delight actually had.
The young lady who was probably in her mid twenties, was dressed formally in a white shirt– which was the only thing Sara could see.
The lady was pleasantly surprised to have someone greet her so warmly. The people who came here were mostly the RAP (Rich, Arrogant and Proud) in the country. They couldn't even spare a second to greet someone like her even if they wanted to.
She smiled back at Sara. ”Hello Miss. May I help you?”
Sara returned her smile with a warmer one. ”I am here for the Head Chef, Mr Park.” She said confidently. She didn't know what she was doing right now but she hoped it worked out.
”Is he expecting you?” She asked politely.
”Just let him know Jianjun Wang's daughter is here to see him.”
”Just a moment” She said before using the telephone. ”Oh. I'm sorry. Mr Park is not available at the moment” She said to Sara.
”Can I know when he will be available?” Sara asked.
”Sorry. I don't know. But you could place a call across to him.”
Now, things were no longer looking smooth for Sara.
”I really wanted to surprise him. It has been years since we last saw each other. Calling him beforehand would ruin the surprise don't you think?” She flashed her a charming smile.

When she got outside, She sighed in resignation. She couldn't believe that her trip here wasn't successful at all. She thought back to the meal she had taken home from here last Wednesday. No wonder it tasted familiar. It made sense. She sighed deeply and only succeeded in taking about two steps when she accidentally bumped into the very person she had been waiting for.
She looked at the middle aged man, dressed in plain white trousers and shirt, with grey hair sprinkled all over his once-black hair. He had dropped some books accidentally so she crouched down to pick it up and apologized repeatedly.
She heard him laugh a little. ”I must be so old my vision is getting worse” He said with a smile as he took the books from her. ”My dear. I really apologize. It's not right for you young lads to always take the blame just because you are younger”
Sara noted that the books were all cookbooks. She observed the Man's attire again. 'What if this was Mr Park? When she heard her Father speak with him on the phone, he had sounded really formal. It meant he was older than him right?' Then, she decided to try her luck. ”Mis...ter Park?” She unsurely asked.
He gave her a questioning look before he asked ”Who are you?”
