Hello, Mr Li Chapter 241
Advertisement
The woman's face kept popping up in Sara's mind even after she returned back inside the restaurant.
She knew she had obviously seen the woman before but why couldn't she remember?
With the little time she got to check out the woman, she could vaguely guess that the woman had gone under the knife for some kind of facial modification since her eyes and nose didn't look quite natural to her.
Was that perhaps, the reason she couldn't remember her?
Had she seen her before she went for a plastic surgery? That's if she did.
Or was she a sister to someone she had met before?
Sara sighed. She was just going to ask Cherry the next they met. So for now, she decided to push every thought about the woman aside.
Six out of the eleven tables inside the restaurant were free already. It was going to take up to two hours before Jianjun opened again since he also needed to rest as much as they did.
The perverted man from earlier, signalled for Sara to come over to his table.
This man was already beginning to piss her off. He had called for her for more than five times now and he did not agree for someone else to attend to their table except for her.
She wondered what drink he wanted to order for this time. Since he had been asking her for different kind of expensive wines they didn't sell. In fact, she had never even heard of their names before.
"My dear. I can see you are less busy now. Do you mind having a drink with me?" He asked Sara with a smile.
She tried to force out a smile and politely decline his offer even though she really wasn't interested in smiling with this perverted old man in a suit. He was probably around his fifties. He was short, chubby and had a potbelly that became even more obvious with the way he was sitting. But he was lucky to have a nice face and good dentition as he smiled at her.
"I don't drink sorry" She said to him.
When he still tried to cajole her into drinking with him, she concluded that either this man was shameless or he lacked common sense.

She was in her father's restaurant. She was also busy. Yet, he was asking her to drink with him so openly like they were friends.
"Oh dear..." He stretched his hand to hold hers which caused her to quickly pull away from his touch. Her action caused him to chuckle, his friends also joined him to laugh.
"Anything else?" She asked impatiently.
"Yes darling. Here is my card. If you ever think of joining the entertainment industry, do not fail to give me a call. In one day I can make you a star" He said with his signature annoying smile that made her suddenly remember Dexi.
'The annoying ones always smile unnecessarily like idiots' She thought.
"Thanks but I won't be needing it. I have no intention of joining the entertainment industry" She rejected politely.
Even if she wanted to join the industry, Hoy had asked her before and she could easily get there with his help. Besides, he had still been asking her to join his team for G-GLOBAL's Fourth anniversary celebration.
So why would she follow this old man instead? He didn't seem genuine. He probably had other hidden plans.
He was still about to say something but Sara was no longer interested in having this meaningless conversation with him. She believed she had entertained them enough so she quickly wrote out the bill and left it on his table before leaving them to go attend to another group of customers who were about leaving.
She could hear the men saying some things about her but she wasn't ready for them today. In fact, she was never going to be ready for them at all.
The restaurant soon turned empty. The only table left was that of the perverted man. Before leaving, he left his card on the table for her, asking her to call him no matter what because he had unimaginable offers for her.
Because she didn't want to argue with him, she simply took the card and threw it inside the trashcan immediately he left with his group.
She hissed in annoyance as she went to lock the door.

But her day suddenly turned bright when she saw Changyu outside the glass door trying to knock.
The door was made in a way where the people inside could see outside but those outside would not be able to see the people inside. It would only show their reflection. So Sara could see Changyu but Changyu obviously couldn't see her.
Sara hurriedly opened the door for her and allowed her enter inside the restaurant before locking the door again.
As usual, Changyu didn't disappoint with her look.
She wore a cream turtleneck long-sleeve sweater dress which ended just slightly below her knees. Her hair was in a ponytail, revealing her pretty facial features and making the small gold earring she was wearing to become even more obvious. Her make-up was light and elegant and the confident way she walked with her black ankle boots fascinated Sara.
"You came." Sara said with a smile.
"Sorry I'm just coming in now. You seem to not be operating right now" Changyu said.
"No no no no.. It's fine. In fact, you came at the right time. Come sit. I'll get you something to drink. What drink do you like?" Sara asked as she led her to a table by the window.
As Changyu sat down, Sara noticed the way she looked around like she was looking for someone. When her eyes got to where Joreen was sitting with an agape mouth, Changyu smiled and waved at her. "You must be Joreen"
If Joreen had been drinking something, she probably would have spat it out. Did Miss Changyu just call her by her name?
Joreen quickly greeted her with Bilike and was about to say more when they heard a knock on the front door.
The sound of a knock took Sara's attention to the door. She wondered who it was that was interrupting her. Didn't the person see the 'Closed' sign put up there?
She looked at the door with a frown and to her surprise, she saw none other than Miss Kang standing there.
"What the hell is she doing here on Christmas day?" Sara asked herself as she looked at Changyu awkwardly.
"Is something wrong?" Changyu asked.
"No. Nothing at all. Excuse me, I have to go get the door. I'll quickly get you something as soon as I get back."
Joreen was personally not happy to see Miss Kang. She really didn't like the woman because she seemed clingy. It was Christmas for crying out loud! Shouldn't she be somewhere with her family?
She looked unhappily at Miss Kang as she entered inside. With the outfit she was putting on, she looked like female Santa. She was wearing a red waist tie coat with a white beige sweater underneath it. Her pants was also red coloured with white strips at the bottom. A black loafers was on her feet and her hair was tied in a ponytail.
"One would think Jesus was born for only her" She whispered to Bilike who pulled her with her to go sit at the far end of the restaurant.
"Miss Kang I had no idea you were coming. Merry Christmas" Sara greeted.
"Merry Christmas dear. I decided to stop by. What about your father? Is he in?" She asked with a smile.
Sara turned to look at Changyu's direction.
Changyu looked like she wasn't paying attention to them as she simply got busy with her phone.
After Sara told Miss Kang that Jianjun was busy, she offered to go join him there.
"He needs as many hands as he can find. I'll go help him out in the kitchen then."
"That wouldn't be necessary. He'll be out soon" Sara said impatiently.
Why did she have to come at this time? Sara wondered in annoyance.
"I can just sit and wait then" Miss Kang said with no intention of leaving at all. With a smile on her face, she walked towards a table.
"Is that..... Miss Song Changyu?" Miss Kang asked with shiny eyes immediately her eyes caught sight of the woman who was sitting alone by the window.
