Chapter 229 - Mr Pessimist (2/2)

Sara clapped her hands together in excitement.

”When you come, I'll show you my boyfriend's family. Can you help me do something hmmm...” She paused and scratched her head. She didn't know how to possibly ask him but he urged her to go on.

”That is...can you just stand close to them and pretend like you're talking to yourself then you can say something like 'that girl on stage...she is nice or she is pretty'.. Just say anything within their earshot so they would get a good impression of me at least. Especially his mother.” Sara pleaded earnestly.

Amusement was written all over his face. He almost laugh out but he knew he had to suppress it. Was she asking him to say things that would please himself and his family?

”What if after everything, they still don't like you?” He asked.

Sara narrowed her eyes to look at him in displeasure.

”How can you say something like that to me?”

”I mean... You've just said you have a lot of bad attitudes that might rule you off as their potential daughter in law.”

”Even though I said that, you don't have to put it plainly like that. I thought you were by my side.” She said grumpily.

”I am just trying to be realistic.” He explained.

”No. You are being pessimistic. They are surely going to like me. I have a nice job. I am pretty. I am intelligent. And most importantly...I am a shareholder” A smile appeared on her face when she got to that part.

Those were enough reasons for them to like her right?

”Shareholder?” He questioned.

With a nod, she answered ”Yes. My Father's restaurant. I am a major shareholder. So you see...” She used a hand to tuck in a few loose hair strands behind her ear. ”I am just as important as their son.”

He chuckled. Oh... So that was it. A major shareholder indeed!

”You seem to be a wonderful person. I can just introduce you to my son instead. You'll surely like him” He said to her.

Sara closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, desperately trying not to sound annoyed

”Mr Pessimist. Why are you suddenly being annoying? I asked for advice and you're talking about introducing me to your son.”

”Mr Pessimist?” He could not believe it.

”Yes. I am not interested in your son. You are not making things better for me at all” She said unhappily before standing up.

He laughed throatily before getting up also ”I'm telling you. You'll like him”

”I said I don't like him. He's not my type” She rejected.

”How can you conclude when you haven't even met him yet?”

”I don't have to meet him before I know. I was born to only be with the love of my life. And you better watch... I'll gloat to you as soon as his family accepts me.”

She glared at him one last time before walking out of the place.

Everyone was annoying her today.  Just when she thought the man was nice, he was about introducing her to his son? How shameless!

When she got to the door, she stopped walking and turned back to look at him.

He had been standing there while looking at her retreating figure with a smile on his face.

”What? Have you changed your mind?” He asked when he saw her turn.

”Ehmmm.. Mr Pessimist. I apologize for the way I sounded earlier. But you can still do that for me right? Just say a few nice things about me to them and we're even. I'll even introduce your son to a a very nice woman.”

”You'll really introduce him to a very nice woman?” He asked again just to be sure.

”Sure. I promise.” She said with a smile.

Fazhan smirked. He was really looking forward to tomorrow.
