Chapter 137 - Shy (1/2)
”I can't believe only two tears dropped despite all my effort” Sara stood up from the chair and wiped the tears off in frustration. ”How did it go? Has anyone watched the video yet?” She asked as she went to stand beside Hoy who was busy with a computer.
”I told you to trust me.”
Sara's eyes bulged out when she saw the number of views and comments increasing. Thousands of people were already talking about it. ”Is... is this real?” she asked in shock.
”It is. As it seems, 80% are in support of you. 10% still hates you while the other 10% are more interested in knowing how you got those footages”
Sara tsked. ”I'm sure the 80% will cover the others— wait, what is that?”
Hoy was also wondering the same thing. He clicked on the video and Sara was surprised to see it was of her family and the Lius the very day they moved out. ”How did they get this?” Sara was lost in her thought. Hoy was also lost in his. He wanted to ask but he knew it was not in his place to. He somehow felt that most of the things Sara had said were not true. But how was she able to link everything so perfectly? He looked at her with renewed admiration.
When he called her that morning to know how she was doing, he had noticed the hesitation in her voice before she finally asked if he could help video her.
He almost laughed when he asked how she intended to do it but she had simply said she would make a video with her phone and look for a way to upload it online. Hoy was glad she had asked the right person for help. He had a little studio which he spent most of his free time, and that was where they currently were.
A slight knock came on the door and Hoy excused himself to go answer it, wondering who was here by this time of the night.
Sara went through most of the comments online. People weren't going easy on Weiyoung and Jinyong at all. A rumour was also going round about Weiyoung being responsible for sending the photo of Jinyong and Sara to the press.
She smiled when she saw comments saying Weiyoung and Jinyong were both perfect for each other. Yes, they were. If anyone dared her, she was going to show them what she was made of. And she was really capable of a whole lot of stuff.
She stood up from the front of the computer and stretched her stiff limbs. When she turned around, in the middle of a yawn, she received the shock of her life when she saw Muchen standing behind her, Hoy beside him.
”Mis...mister Li..what..what are you doing here?” She stammered
Then, it hit her. He must have seen it. Was he thinking she was too bad and manipulative? Did he hate her now, since he was very much aware about most of the things so he knew she had lied. She had never been bothered about what people thought of her. But now, she realised she was always concerned about what he thought.
Going on air had been a risk. But it was one she wanted to take. She had received months of advance payment from Muchen. She had to keep working, had to keep helping Heya, especially now that she was improving. Joreen also, in case it was time for her to debut, she didn't want this issue to be an obstacle for her. What if this case comes up and people start looking down on Joreen because of it? She didn't want to soil her family's name also.
”I was on my way out and decided to drop by his place” Muchen said. His expression, cold.
”Oh..” Was the only word she could utter. Somehow, she was really excited to see him unexpectedly.
”You shouldn't be in a man's house by this time of the night.” He said pointedly to Sara.
Hoy cocked a brow at him and wondered whether he was the 'man' Muchen was talking about. 'Acting all protecting like he own her'.
”CEO Li, Sara was just about leaving” He spoke before Sara could say anything. He was already used to seeing Muchen as his boss instead of his cousin.
