”Thank you for giving your valuable time to us Ma'am”
”It's alright and no problem because your group are one of my customers today in our opening. So, instead of thanking us it would be my pleasure that you give your time to dine in here”
”No problem and we will give our time to dine in here, we're lucky enough to discover this place that serving a delicious foods and provide a good place to your customers with an affordable price”
”He, he thank you for your compliment Sir”
”You're welcome and by the way I'm Manager Xia from the C International and Group Company and just in an opposite directions of the shop”
Accepting his hand and shake ”nice to meet you Sir Xia and I'm Mei the Shop Manager”
”Nice to meet you too Ma'am Mei” since Mei called him Sir, he also called her Ma'am since both of them are Manager in different field.
”So if you don't mind, why are you looking for me?” Mei asked because she notice her husband standing in just a matter of distance that enough to hear their conversation.
”Ah, that's right I almost forgot but before for my main point, first I would like to apologize for one of my subordinates that almost making a scandal here awhile ago”
”No problem and it's alright but please make sure to remind them to know their place”
”Yes I will take note of that. These subordinates of mine will submit an apology letter to the shop and can we ask that staff of yours to be here so that my subordinates will apologize to her personally?”
”Okay” then called one of the staff ”Wei?”
”Yes Boss Mei what is it?”
”Please tell Meng to be here”
”Yes Boss Mei”
Everyone except Rei ”Meng?”
”Ah, yes that's the name of our staff who got insulted by one of your colleagues and her complete name is Meng Fang.”
”Meng Fang? What a coincidence Ma'am Mei, because the person who will apologize to her is also called Meng Fang.”
The staff arrived and only heard the name, so she ask in curious and getting scared because he might know her backgrounds or her parents then will tell to her bosses.
'No, no, no (but then convince herself) and stop it Fang both Ma'am Rei and Boss Mei already know your backgrounds so calm down and ask calmly' ”Yes Sir what is it?”
”Ah sorry for that Ms because you're not the one I mention but for now I will let you know that my subordinate here is also called Ms Meng and she have something to say to you.”
”Eh?”
”Ms Meng”
”Ah yes Manager Xia. I'm s----sorry for what I did awhile ago”
”It's okay and I accept your apology”
Everyone notice something but only Manager Xia and Mei blurted out.
”You have the same face and name, why?”
”I-----I don't know about that Boss Mei and if I'm not needed here, I will go back to work Boss Mei”
”Thank you Boss Mei”
”So Sir Xia if you don't mind can we take a seat first so that we will not disturb any other customers who will pass through in our way?”
”O---oh yes go ahead Ma'am Mei and sorry for the inconvenience”
”No worries Sir Xia”
”So Ma'am Mei that place is a function room, right?” pointing the room.
”Yes it is and because we have so many customers to our opening day that we didn't expect it would be this much so we use that space temporarily.”
”Then can I book that space for us?'
”Oh, you can Sir Xia but may I know when and what time?”
”Five days from now Ma'am Mei and from 1pm to 5pm, may I know if it's available that day?”
”Well you're unlucky Sir Xia because my family also book the same day but don't worry it will be held at night so you can book the space as soon as possible. So if you don't mind we will use that space for a farewell party of my sister and how about you Sir Xia?”
”What a coincidence? We also held our farewell party to my subordinate that day”
”Yeah a really coincidence” then looking to Rei and smirk.
'Coincidence really? And how come I didn't know about that? Don't tell me it a surprise but if it's a surprise how come Mei revealed it?'
'Geez Mom / Aunt Mei are you sure it's really a coincidence when you're talking about the same person?'
