Hello, Mr Li Chapter 16
Advertisement
Immediately they both got inside his house, they witnessed an awkward scene of Li Heya, crying while watching a kdrama.
She had a pack of popcorn in her hand while two bottles of coke were on a little stool in front of her. One was already empty and the other was half empty.
As soon as she saw them, she quickly wiped off her tears with the back of her hand and stood up abruptly. The sudden force sent the pack of popcorn flying and the next thing, there were popcorn everywhere on the couch and floor.
Heya looked around in confusion before taking the remote to pause the drama. Then looked at the two people who were looking at her strangely.
Muchen didn't know whether to laugh or to cry when he saw his sister. Her mates were in college while she was here crying because of a movie? She'd better save those tears for when she begin her training.
Although, he had an ulterior motive for doing this, he was still concerned about his sister's health. Though she was too lazy for it but he knew how much Heya wanted to lose weight and helping her achieve that was something he was hellbent on doing. The best idiom for this situation would be 'Killing two birds with a stone'.
Sara on the other hand had different thoughts running through her mind. She had been mentally prepared for this but was suddenly nervous after seeing Li Heya.
She had no prior experience and was not sure how much progress she would be able to make but had still promised Li Muchen to make it work for Heya.
What if it doesn't?
She looked at the several packs on popcorn lying on the couch where she had been sitting,the bottles of coke and the popcorns littered on the floor and couch.

What had she gotten herself into? She asked herself.
---
In a few minutes, the entire area was cleaned out by the maids and they all finally settled.
"She is Miss Sara Wang. And your new fitness coach" He said to Heya.
Heya's eye widened when she heard him.
She had thought he would let her rest for at least a week, but he had already provided her a coach?
"Hello, Miss Li, you can call me Sara"
Heya looked at her with scorn and asked
"Why do I have to call you Sara while you call me Miss Li?"
She felt she was being looked down on because she had a bigger body size than Sara. Sara was looking all athletic and very beautiful. Sara reminded her of what she would never become. So she hated her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I'll call you Heya then" Sara apologize.
"Why would you call me by my first name? Are we friends?" Heya sneered at her.
"Li Heya! Where are your manners?" Muchen scolded.
Heya was startled. He had never scolded her like that and even if front of someone. What was happening?
Sara was also surprised by Muchen's reaction. This Heya girl was already pissing her off but she had to endure everything. Losing her job on her first day of employment would not tell well of her. Besides, it would mean she had disappointed Joreen and Jianjun.
"I'm sorry. How would you like me to address you?" Sara suddenly asked to lighten the atmosphere.
Heya's eyes were glistening with unshed tears when she looked at Muchen's direction.
She was already so embarrassed and did not want to remain there.
She sniffled back tears and spoke.
"I'm sorry but I'll have to excuse my self" She didn't wait for any response before scuffling upstairs.

Muchen rubbed his chin with his hands and spoke to Sara.
"What do you think?"
Geez! He could not even apologize for his sister's bad manners? She thought. But, she was not that insensitive. At least he had scolded Heya. So she let it pass and replied honestly.
"She hates me."
"Give her time. I told you she doesn't like people"
Sara nodded affirmatively. She wanted to ask what they should do about Heya when they suddenly heard the loud bang of a door.
Muchen just shook his head then said.
"She'll cool off. That's her nature" He said nonchalantly.
When she heard that, she couldn't help feeling bad for Heya. No one even cared when she threw a tantrum and just left her to cool off?
"I'll drop you off then.." He suddenly spoke. "You can officially start working tomorrow. They'll be someone responsible for picking you up and dropping you off so you do not have to bother about that." He informed.
Was he nice or was he not?
She couldn't tell. He had been so cold and expressionless whenever he spoke to her. She had no idea what he was thinking. Did he hate her or something?
She didn't care if he hated her though. So far she got paid at the end of the month. Nothing else mattered.
"No need for that. I'll take the bus" She said.
"The bus? Did you see any bus stop on your way here?" He asked gently.
She had been focused on Li Heya's file. How was she supposed to know?
She just looked at him and shook her head.
"I wasn't paying attention"
"I'll drop you off then"
There was no point in arguing further. Besides, the thought of entering that car again excited her.
---
The entire car had been so quiet throughout the journey. No one could tell what the other was thinking. Until the car finally stopped.
She had given the address for her father's restaurant instead. Since it was already noon, She had to go there anyways.
Before opening the car door, she suddenly broke the silence.
"Uhmm, Mr Li.. Can I wear something I'm rather comfortable on? This is not really my style" She said looking at her outfit.
Li Muchen looked at her and blinked twice. He had the urge to scream YES!
He had noticed throughout the time they were together that she had been adjusting and readjusting her shirt.
"You should wear whatever you are comfortable with" He replied nonchalantly.
"Really? It might not be as presentable as you imagine" She said softly.
Muchen almost laughed when he heard her but refrained from doing so. Did she really think he did not recognise her? How naive of her!
