Ms Long looked at her in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I came for something. Why is he holding you like that?" Sara asked and glared at Hansong.

Hansong dropped Ms Long's hand and looked at Sara. "How dare you look at me like that?" He used a finger to push her forehead back.

"Mr Zhang what do you think you are doing?" Ms Long asked.

"Ms Long let's leave now" Sara completely ignored Hansong which further enraged him. He raised his hand to hit Sara but his hand was intercepted by her.

"You are Mr Zhang right? You should behave. I'm not in the right mood to play with you" Sara said as she looked at him aloofly. Then forcefully dropped his hand.

By now, they were security men around to control the situation but Hansong blew up.

"No one should come here. No one should dare" He threatened them then turned back to Sara. "What did you just say? Say it again!" He dared her.

"Sara, let's leave now." Ms Long held her hand and pulled her to her side so they would leave but Hansong dragged Sara back.

"Do you know who I am?" He asked her.

"I don't see how that concerns me. Let go of me now" She demanded.

Sara was already tired of this back and forth conversation. She only came for a meal for goodness sake. There was only one way to stop this. She smiled at him and spoke.

"Are you so mad that a girl is talking back at you? What can you do then? You can't possibly hit me right?" She teased.

He got annoyed the more and lifted his hand to hit her. This time, Sara did not stop him as he hit her cheek. Which caused her cap to fall on the ground.

There were loud gasps around the the restaurant when he hit her. Even Ms Long covered her mouth in shock. What made everyone further surprised was the fact that Sara was still smiling. She used her left tumb to clean the blood a little cut from her lip produced.

"You all saw that right? He hit me first!" Immediately she finished speaking, to everyone's surprise, she slapped Hansong TWICE on his cheek.

The force he used caused him to fall on the ground. The gasps this time was louder than the first. "You should have just let me be when I asked earlier. Bullying people is wrong!" She lectured.

Hansong was startled to see blood coming out from the corner of his mouth. "You...you..you" He pointed his index finger at her and tried to say something but nothing could come out.

Sara turned to leave with Ms Long when they saw someone standing behind them.

"You! Better stand there" Hansong got up and tried to pull her back before he saw Mo Dexi staring at them.

"You should be ashamed of yourself. fighting in public like that" Dexi said to Hansong.

"Mis...mister Mo. I..."

"Let's talk later. You should leave now" Dexi interrupted.

After Hansong hid his tail behind his legs and left the place, Dexi turned to Sara and Ms Long.

Ms Long greeted him. So did the servers and security personnel. Sara was not interested and was about leaving when he spoke. "Sorry about his behaviour."

Sara scoffed. "Acting like a gentleman as if it had anything to do with you"

Dexi smiled when he heard her. 'She still hasn't changed one bit' He thought.

That smile. Sara hated that smile. If his smile was half as beautiful as Mr Li's, she wouldn't mind speaking with him. Without looking at him a second time, she went to the counter where she left her bag pack and the bag containing the food.

Ms Long bowed slightly to him and left with Sara.

Sara didn't bother doing anything else and left the place. She didn't even bother waiting for Ms Long since they both hadn't been on good terms these past few days.

Song Changyu who was entering the restaurant caught a glimpse of Sara who was heading towards her direction and stopped to look at her properly. Her heartbeat skipped a bit when she got a closer look at her face. Sara who wasn't paying attention to anything, passed her and went outside.

"Are you okay madam?" Her PA asked when he saw her staring into space.

"I... I am good." She nodded and continued walking. Not before turning to look back again.

When she looked forward again, she bumped into Dexi who was holding a face cap in his hand.

"Aunt! I was not expecting to see you here" He said then bowed.

"Who... who are you?" She asked.

Her PA whispered something to her then she looked at him in surprise.

"Ah! you are Mo Dexi?"

He smiled and affirmed it.

"You shouldn't have done that" Ms Long said to Sara when she met her outside.

"I would have done it for anyone." Sara responded "Why didn't you stand up for yourself?"

"I can't act rashly. I work for Mr Li. Any of my actions may likely affect him. No one would remember the name Chou Long. Everyone would call me Mr Li's Secretary" Ms Long replied. "Does it hurt?" She asked, pointing to Sara's bruised lip.

Sara shook her head. "I actually feel nothing.... I'll leave now"

"Wait!" Ms Long stopped her from leaving. "I'm... I'm sorry about earlier..."

"It's not your fault" Sara interrupted.

"I wasn't talking about that. I'm talking about the hospital incident. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. It was wrong of me" She said.

Sara looked at her without saying anything for a while. She tried to put herself in Ms Long shoes to know if she would have also reacted the same way. Would she have also done that?
