章 15: Showoff

When both their eyes met, as if caught doing something sinful, she immediately lowered her gaze and looked down.

That was their second eye contact.

But something seemed to snap in her brain.

Why did he look so familiar?

Where had she met him?

She wasn't so keen on remembering people but despite only looking at him for a second, she could tell she had seen him before.

Who wouldn't remember meeting such a charming man?

She searched her brain properly. The only thing she had to think about was whether she had ever seen him with Li Minde. Because People like Li Muchen were not seen just anywhere but on special occasions; and she hadn't attended any.

She had only met Minde twice. The first time, he came alone to pick up Weiyoung from her place.

The second time.... the second time??

Her eyes widened in shock when she thought to that point.

Minde had been with several people that day when she barged in on them and caused havoc.

No! No!! No!!!

She lifted her head gradually to look at him.

Then, she met his eyes again!

Once she saw him, she almost gasped in shock.

It was him! it was really him!

On that day two years ago she was really pissed off but then heard someone chuckle like she was making a joke there. In annoyance, she decided to also teach that person a lesson. But couldn't bring herself to do anything to him when she met his gaze. Aside from the fact that he was good looking, he had a domineering aura. One could tell by merely looking at him. And also by the fact that he was the only one composed in the room that day. It would be stupid of her to think she could bully him.

'So he is really the CEO Li? What have I done?'

She almost hit herself for messing up her good luck.

If he recognized her, then it was over for her Who would want a 'ruffian' to become their employee?

She was even worse than those 'overqualified' candidates that were dropped.

But she was still slightly relieved that she didn't do anything funny to him that day, or even to Li Minde. But after threatening his cousin, would he let her off the hook if he recognized her?

Many question ran through her mind.

'No! he won't remember me. He can't remember me! That was two years ago. Besides, I am formally dressed now and even wearing a powder and lipstick. He won't' She reassured herself repeatedly.

But when she saw the way he was staring at her, she couldn't help worrying.

'Did he really recognize me? please don't.' She prayed.

...

When Li Muchen raised his head to look at her, the first thought that came into his mind was 'Pretty'.

She looked pretty and innocent. But for some reason, he actually preferred her previous look. This 'Sara' before him was not like the 'Sara' he had met twice. The only constant thing was her petite figure. She could be considered average when compared with other girls. But when compared with him... he laughed inwardly when he saw how small she looked especially in this outfit.

'Do her personality come with her dressing?' He wondered when he saw the less-confident look

on her face.

Li Muchen smirked inwardly when he saw her panicked expression.

He knew she remembered him from two years back. He was also sure of one thing, she would feign ignorance.

'This is going to be fun' He thought.

"Don't just stand there, have a sit" He said nonchalantly as he gestured at the seat opposite him.

Sara walked gently and sat down opposite him.

"Sara Wang?" he asked politely as he looked directly at her.

She was finally relieved. He really hadn't remembered her. How fortunate!

Sara took a deep breath and replied nodding slightly.

"Yes sir!"

"Congratulations for being the only qualified candidate" He said gently and expressionlessly.

"Thank you Mr Li, It is my pleasure" She replied modestly

'Mr Li?' He felt strange being called that since everyone usually called him CEO Li.

After an unnecessary question and answer session, he finally led her out to go meet with his sister, Li Heya.

Once they got to the company's VIP car park, Sara was bewildered by the cars she saw there.

The number of cars there were very few but those were the latest model. She had a strong fetish for cars. And had the urge to ask for Muchen's car keys to go on a cruise with his car as soon as she saw it.

She had seen it on TV and was very sure this was the latest Audi A8 model.

Muchen looked at her briefly and noticed she was entirely focused on the car.

He wanted to laugh at her exaggerated look.

So someone also had the same love for cars like he does?

....

In the car, Sara was finally able to convince herself that she was really in this car. She used every ounce of self control in her to not openly admire the car in Muchen's presence.

So she had to place her thoughts somewhere else. She flipped through the file given to her by Li Muchen.

"Everything you need to know about Li Heya are all in there. Remember to not push her too much. She's good at throwing tantrums" He spoke with his focus on the road.

"I will remember that Mr Li." She nodded.

"And for the entire session, you'll be using my place. Everything you'll be needing are all there. And if by chance we are lacking anything—which I am very sure we are not, let me know and it will be made available" He continued speaking while still driving.

She wanted to roll her eyes at him after she heard him speak. "What a bloody showoff" She thought.

She had been surprised though to see him drive when she followed him out.

She always thought that all rich people, especially businessmen and politicians, loved having drivers and bodyguards and even an entourage with them when going out.

But this Mr Li had surprised her. He didn't even go with a driver and just drove himself.

But that still didn't change the fact that he was haughty. She really had no good impression of this Mr Li!
