Capítulo 16: Killing two birds with a stone
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!

Thanks to you all.
Even to those that have been commenting.
Yours sincerely,
CEO Li Muchen.
Capítulo 17: G-Global
As soon as she got down from the car, she head straight for the restaurant.
Li Muchen looked at her retreating figure and finally laughed. He had tried his best to act neutral throughout but now that she was gone, he released all the repressed laughter.
"She couldn't even wave goodbye or wait till I drove off?" He asked himself as he accelerated the car.
She was really something!
*************
Sara had just stepped into the restaurant when she was intercepted by two people. One was big and masculine while the other was small and feminine. They were none other than Jianjun and Joreen Wang.
Before Jianjun Wang could say a word, Joreen beat him to it with her line of questions.
"Sis, Who was that just now? How was your interview? Did you get the job? I've been waiting for you to get here for ages now!" She asked as she pulled her to a seat close to the window.
The restaurant was small and was only able to accommodate about five to six tables and the chairs around it.
During afternoons like this, it was mostly quiet and isolated so there were no customers around. But during the evenings, the number of people there were always so much. After the day's event, most people usually came over to chill and relax with a bottle of liquor and nice hot soups especially with their friends or family members.
Thankfully, he had the pass to set extra tables and chairs outside the restaurant at nights to accommodate more people.
Sara usually assisted him whenever she returned from work but he had stopped her and employed a 20years old male because he believed she would be too stressed out. Plus, it was not a conducive environment for a young lady especially when the men were most of the time, drunk.
She had even almost gotten into a brawl with the customers several times but always tried to control her temper because she did not want to ruin her Father's business.
Sara decided to play a prank on the both of them when they both sat at the seat opposite her with curious gazes.
She looked at them with a downcast expression. When Joreen saw her look, she started crying softly and spoke with her head down on the table.
"I'm sorry sis, it's my fault for talking too much about it"
Jianjun who was beside her patted her back gently and spoke softly with a sad expression.
"It's not your fault Jo. Stop crying or you will make your big sister sadder"
Sara couldn't help laughing when she heard them. She stretched her hand to ruffle Joreen's hair and winked at her.
"Of course I got the job"
Joreen suddenly raised her head and looked at her in shock. Jianjun Wang was also surprised when he heard her.
"You really got the job?" Jianjun asked. The surprise could obviously be heard in his voice.
"Of course. If I don't who will?" She asked with a haughty smile.
Joreen suddenly jumped from her chair and hugged Sara as she spoke happily.
"Sis, I knew you would do it. I'm so proud of you"
*************
Pffffft!
Joreen suddenly spat out the juice in her mouth when she heard what Sara had just said.
"Hey careful!" Sara scolded as she used her hankie to clean her shirt. She was sitting directly opposite Joreen so she had the greatest impact than Jianjun Wang.
Joreen didn't care about anything else and just asked.
"C...CEO Li Muchen? You are sure it was CEO Li Muchen?"
Jianjun was also surprised. He hadn't expected her employer to be from the Li family. Even those who knew nothing about business, also knew of that family. Take Joreen for example.
Those were people who contributed greatly to their country's economy so who wouldn't know about them?
"No wonder the information on the flier was limited. He must have chosen to hide his identity so people with ulterior motive wouldn't apply or send someone there" He speculated.
"I also think that was why the overqualified were not accepted since they could be easily linked with the wrong people who knows? " Joreen added happily.
If Ms Long had heard them right now, she would probably be rolling on the floor in laughter at their weird speculations.
Sara just nodded in agreement to what they both assumed. It was not wrong to think so.
"Well, doesn't matter. I'll be able to buy us a new apartment soon" she said happily.
Joreen suddenly thought of something and her mouth was slightly agape.
"Was it him who dropped you off?"
When Sara nodded, Joreen was further bewildered.
"O M G! I thought he was an advanced man. But he is still so young?"
"Compared to you, He is an advanced man!" Jianjun said as he rolled his eyes at her.
"Why are you so Interested in him anyway?" Sara asked.
"Of course G-Global is a part of the Li Corporation. Why won't I be interested?"
"G-Global?" Sara finally remembered that G-Global was an entertainment company under Li corporation. Joreen had always loved the entertainment world and wanted so badly to be a part of it. So she had been keeping tabs on every information concerning G-Global in particular. It made sense that Joreen didn't know what Muchen looked like because no one knew much about him and his pictures were not seen.
"Sis, This is like a dream come true!" She exclaimed excitedly. As she moved to where Sara was and held her right hand with both her hands.
"Sis, sorry for spilling my drink on you earlier, I was just so excited" She said when she saw the orange dots on Sara's shirt.
"Or you could say spitting!" Sara corrected but didn't sound annoyed.
"Sis, can I meet him?" She asked, smiling widely.
"Jo, come sit down,she just got the job, she can't possibly be asking him for favours" Jianjun chipped in.
"Jo, dad is right. Besides, he is so unapproachable. But I promise you, Once I get the chance, I will bring you to meet with him okay?" She said while patting her hair softly.
Joreen's smile grew wider as she hugged her and spoke
"Thank you so much sis. I promise once I become a popular actress, I will make sure you meet with whoever you wish to" She promised.
"...and I will no longer get angry when you ruffle my hair"
Joreen's afro hair was so precious to her. She didn't like anyone touching it. She always reminded them of how difficult it was to comb and style it.
Letting them ruffle it anytime, was the biggest gift she could give. No! Biggest sacrifice.
