Chapter 240 - A Christmas tip (1/2)

”Yes. It'll be ready in a minute” Sara said to a customer with a smile on her face before heading towards the kitchen with an empty tray on her hand.

The middle aged customer looked at her retreating figure lustfully. He admired her body on the brown sweater, black skinnies and black boot she was wearing. Even her dangling ponytail fascinated him for no reason at all but because he was simply a pervert.

He concluded that she was very much prettier than those annoying models and actresses he sponsored.

”You should focus” A friend of his hit him playfully which caused the other two on the table to laugh at him.

”I can't help it. She's even more prettier without make-up” He said with a laugh.

As soon as she entered inside the kitchen, she used both hands to massage her numb cheeks which were as a result of her effort to smile to every customer all day.

”Ah... Smiling is stressful” She complained to Jianjun.

”They didn't force you to smile. You can just be polite instead” Jianjun said from beside the fire.

”Smiling is my only way of being polite” Sara pointed out to him.

The restaurant had been full all morning. Their major problem was the table and space to fit in the customers and also, the waiters to attend to them.

Sara and Bilike were already helping out with the servings but they obviously needed more hands to help. His employee, Lisa, do join them to wait on customers whenever there was lesser work for Jianjun in the kitchen. It seemed she was more interested in cooking than in serving and Jianjun was very much interested in teaching her.

Thankfully, Some customers had decided to have takeouts instead so it reduced the trouble.

”Put up a 'Closed' sign in twenty minutes. I need enough time to make more dishes”

Jianjun said to Sara.

It was just two in the afternoon but that was going to be the second time they'll be putting up the 'Closed' sign.

Sara didn't have the time to talk with any of them since they were all busy. Even Joreen was helping them arrange the drinks and had resused to go to the Christmas party her school had organised for the students.

She was obviously still hurt and probably embarrassed after what happened during the prize giving day.

Sara could not wait for Cixi to come back so they'll finally know the idiot who had done that to her.

She went back to serve some customers who were happy to have her attention and even asked to take photos with her.

As she was about entering inside the kitchen again, her eyes caught sight of a familiar figure entering inside the restaurant.

It was a young lady who held a little boy's hand as they both approached where she was standing. She was tall, slender, pretty and was wearing a Faux-fur coat, leather pants and a thigh high boot. Her long dark hair was let loose and her make-up was moderate. The little buy who seemed to be around nine years old was wearing a cardigan, dark Jean and snow Boot.

”Martha!” Sara called in surprise. She hadn't expected to see her here. It was the same lady from the etiquette class who called her poor and mannnerless.

Before Sara decided to upload the video online to invite people to her father's restaurant last night, she had been prepared for her cover to be blown. And this was just the beginning of this.

”No wonder I thought you looked familiar. You're actually Sara Wang.” Martha snickered as soon as she got to where Sara was standing.

”Hello Sis. Long time.” The little boy Martha was holding greeted Sara familiarly with a smile on his face.

She looked at the boy who was probably around nine years old questioningly. She realised he looked familiar but she couldn't remember where she had met him before. But suddenly, it clicked.

”Oh.. You were the one with Jin Cearo the other time right? His nephew?”  Sara asked him.

She was surprised he had recognised her immediately when she hadn't.

The little boy nodded happily. Of course he remembered her. She had been the one who convinced Heya to sing an English song so he could win a ticket to the WCI concert he had enjoyed so much.

”Oh wow! Nice to meet you dear. Merry Christmas” She said to him with a friendly pat on his shoulder.

”You two know each other?” Martha asked in surprise with a raised brow.

”You are Jin Cearo's sister?” Sara asked back.

”I guess both our covers are blown then. I'm Jin Cherry. This is my son Michael.” Cherry introduced the little boy to her.

Sara was a bit surprised since she hadn't known that Martha or rather... Cherry was married and had a son.

A group of customers entered through the door so Sara quickly said to her...

”I really have to hurry in. You need takeouts? Sorry, the place is full so they're no vacant seats” She apologized.

”Sure. I'll have them. I hear you serve Chicken rolls with sesame seeds. Michael loves them to I'll have two servings”
