73 The Hong Men Banquet 4 (2/2)

”Two more will be joining,” Joann answered.

”Then I will leave you with the menu. Call or wave when you have made your selection.” The waiter bowed and retreated from Joann's table.

”Thank you.” Joann picked up the menu and flipped through it. She found it quite rude to order before the other guests had arrived so she put the menu down and turned to the window to check whether her friends had arrived.

Coincidentally enough, a vehicle that Joann could recognize just so happen to roll to a stop at the entrance of Spring Leaf Café. It was the car of her co-star Lee Mu. His agent, Zao Ming was in the driver's seat and Lee Mu was sitting in the passenger seat.

Through the window, Joann could see that they were having a happy conversation. Both the men were animated and Joann noticed the bright smile on Lee Mu's face. After their conversation seemed to have ended, Lee Mu leaned in to give Zao Ming, Joann assumed was, a hug or at least it looked like a hug from Joann's angle.

The men soon parted and after Lee Mu got down, he waved goodbye at his agent through the window. 'Lee Mu sure has a friendly relationship with Zao Ming,' thought Joann who had captured all of their interaction.

Lee Mu walked into the café and Joann waved to get his attention. Thankfully, the café was rather deserted or they probably would have created a ruckus with their combined popularity. However, there was still a contained commotion coming from the kitchen. Probably one of the staff was Lee Mu's fan.

Lee Mu greeted Joann and he sat down with a huge grin on his face.

Joann could not help but comment, ”Lee Mu, you sure have a companionable relationship with your agent.”

Lee Mu coughed when he heard that comment and Joann sworn a certain guardedness appeared in his eyes as he asked, ”Joann, what do you mean by that?”

”I meant what I said. You guys look like very good friends on top of being a working partner. It is nice to see that,” Joann explained.

Lee Mu's shoulders relaxed slightly and his easy smile returned. ”Yes. I am glad that I have found a good friend in Zao Ming.”

Lee Mu looked around him and he asked, ”Wait a minute, where is Qing Qing? It was she who invited me and to be perfectly honest, I was quite surprise when I saw you, Joann. She did not mention she has invited you as well.”
