Hello, Mr Li Chapter 115 - A Simple Life

Sara was almost entering the room when she heard Jianjun, who was inside the room, speak. "I can't believe Delight's head chef is scouting me now. I must say I'm really flattered."

Sara's attention was drawn to the conversation. She withdrew her hand from the door's k.n.o.b and tried to eavesdrop with her ear on the door. 'The head chef in delight wanted him to work there? Wow!' She thought.

"That was in the past. I don't intend to live an extravagant life like my parents did" She heard him say.

Sara's eyes shone. 'Did he just mention his parents? So whoever he was speaking with actually knew his parents?'

She heard him laugh gently before saying "Thank you Mr Park. And I do not mean to be rude, but I am really okay with running a small restaurant. That's all." A little pause before he spoke again. "She is out now. I'll let her know when she returns"

'She? Are they talking about me?' She was jolted back to reality by the sudden opening of the door. Jianjun was startled to find her there. "When did you come?" He asked nervously.

"I just got in now. I was about opening the door" She masked her anxiety with a smile.

After Jianjun left for the kitchen, Sara thought back to what she heard. Didn't he tell the Mr Park that he was going to let her know something when she returned? But her father hadn't said anything.

She was glad tomorrow was a free day for her. She would be going to Delight for the second time tomorrow.

She looked around the room for something to indulge herself with. She had been considering taking a part-time job also. But she had to take care of her health.

It was 4pm. Joreen was still busy in school, practicing for their end of session party. Sara contemplated texting Muchen about her meeting with Hoy. She suddenly remembered Hoy. He looked so cold, yet, he was such a warm person. Seeing him today made her remember the first time she saw Muchen. His expression had been quite similar to Hoy's when she looked at him that day. But who would have thought he was actually a considerate person? Same with Hoy who had even invited her to G-Global's 5th anniversary celebration- which she wasn't going to attend anyway.

She wanted to at least know how Muchen was doing. She hadn't heard from him in a day. Maybe he was busy? She decided to text instead. At least, he would see it whenever he was free.

'Mr Li. I met Director Li today. We talked about Joreen and..' She canceled the whole text and paced around the room. "What if he doesn't call or text back even after reading the text? Shouldn't I just call?" She wondered.

In frustration, she threw her phone on the bed and used both hands to cover her face in resignation. "I was the one who told him not to like me. Shouldn't I be happy that he is not calling?"

She picked up her phone from the bed. "I have to thank him for helping Joreen at least."

She was about dialling his number before she decided against it and sent a text instead. It read.. 'Mr Li. Hope you are good. I met with Director Li concerning Joreen today. Thank you for your help.'

She sighed deeply as she lay on the bed. "When did my life make this drastic turn?" She wondered.

The next morning, Jianjun informed them that he had seen a good place and they would be moving the following week when everything was all set. Bilike though, was sad to hear that. Joreen on the other hand was elated. She was tired of the small bed that she and Sara had to share while her father slept on the couch. At least now, they would all be able to sleep comfortably.

Since Sara was done with everything, she decided to go over to the hospital to pay Mr Chu a visit before heading over to Delight to look for whoever Mr Park was. She was wearing a simple s.h.i.+rt and trouser. So was Bilike.

"Sis, I have been wanting to ask but a lot has been coming up. I know you asked us not to tell Uncle w.a.n.g about it but I am still very curious."

Sara knew instantly what he was talking about. The incident that occurred that night at the factory.

"How do you know those people? They are very dangerous" He said.

"You know they were dangerous yet you gambled with them?"

"I was tricked" He defended himself.

Sara was not interested in the details though. "I got into trouble one time and was saved by one of them. That was how I knew about them. That's all" She said vaguely.

Bilike knew there was more to it. She had even called a couple of names and had recognised their rank through a tattoo. She even said something about the overseer. But then, she wasn't willing to say anything. Was he simply going to force her? He looked at her suspiciously and didn't ask further till they took the bus and arrived at the hospital.
