Chapter 143 - Sealed fate (1/2)

Sara sighed deeply as she plumped on the bed. No matter how she thought about it, she didn't regret everything she had said to her father. She was going to have a lot of people who would tell her to stay away from Mr Li, her father shouldn't be one of them.

She didn't know when it happened. Or when she had unconsciously began to like Muchen. She tried thinking back but couldn't recall the exact moment it happened. She was going to get into trouble. She knew that. But the mistake had already been made. From the day she accepted the job as Heya's coach, her fate had been sealed with Muchen's. She was obviously going to have the heartache. So why not just enjoy her time while it lasts? He dared accuse her? It was his fault! She had been perfectly living her life until he cunningly brought her to work for him and seduced her. So how was it her fault?

”Big Sis.. Are you okay?” Joreen sat up from the bed and held her hands to comfort her.

Sara only nodded and gave her a weak smile. Her face and eyes were still red, her eyes were swollen also, even her head ached.

”Jo, I'm fine. You're going to have a busy day in school tomorrow. It's very late. You should sleep”

Sara was taken aback when Joreen started to cry again. ”What is wrong Jo? Are you sick somewhere?” Sara fussed.

”What...what if.. Mr Li's mother offers you a cheque to leave Mr Li and end up throwing water on you when you refuse— What are we going to do? ” Her cry became even louder. Sara was beginning to fear that Jianjun, who had decided to sleep on the sitting room, was going to hear her. Sara wanted to laugh but Joreen was being really serious. See why children shouldn't watch kdramas too much ”Jo, it's okay. It only happens in dramas. Everyt—” A call notification interrupted her so she reached for her phone. She wondered who was calling her by this time of the night. These days, she was beginning to have too many people call her unexpectedly.

When she saw the call was from Muchen, her heart skipped. She quickly took the phone, asked Joreen to stop crying and ran to the bathroom outside the room.

”Hello Mr Li” She managed to say after organising herself.

Muchen said nothing for a while which caused Sara to check whether the call was still ongoing ”What's wrong with your voice?” He finally asked. ”Did you cry?”

Sara panicked. How come he noticed?

”My voice is fine. I was choking on something before you called so it's not settled yet”

”Call me back when it's settled. You shouldn't be talking now when you're not okay”

”NO!” Her sudden rejection startled them both. ”I... am fine now” She said.

”Sara Wang...” He called gently.

”Yes Mr Li..” She wondered what he was about to say again. In one night, he had completely confused her. She still didn't understand what happened in the car. Did he bewitch her? She had been prepared to not let him kiss her. But not only did it happen, she had even fully encouraged it!

”You were supposed to call and ask whether I got home safely. I'm hurt” He said, sounding hurt.

”Ooh...” Sara tried to suppress a laugh ”I'm sure you always get home safely”

”Says who?” He asked.

”I just know so.” She replied.

He laughed lightly and was quiet for about twenty seconds before he said ”Did Mr Wang get angry because of the video?”

Sara paused for a bit before she admitted ”We really didn't talk much about that. But I had a little verbal fight with him. I feel like I am a bad daughter” She pouted.

”Of course, you are a bad daughter. How can you quarrel with your nice father?” She heard him chuckle.

”You are supposed to take my side” She shot back angrily. The other time, he had even said Jianjun was smarter than her.

”Fathers always want what's best for their children. Don't you think so?” He asked.

Sara smiled slyly ”He asked me to stay away from Mr Li”

”Then you should stay— Wait, Me?” The surprise in his voice was evident.

Sara affirmed it.

”Forget about what I said earlier... your father is so wrong this time”

Sara couldn't help laughing out.
