"Oh.. Sorry. I don"t think I"ll be able to come home today." Sara said on the phone to her father.
"You are sleeping over at Mr Li"s house?" Jianjun asked.
Sara giggled when she heard the tone he asked ever with. It sounded like he was uncomfortable with the idea.
"Mr Li is not in the country. And something happened with Heya so I have to stay with her for today. I"ll return home tomorrow so we"d both go together"
She had promised to go register for the cla.s.ses. She also planned on registering for a fighting cla.s.s. After the incident with Jinyong"s bodyguards, she didn"t want to ever be taken unaware so she had to get prepared.
"I hope she is fine?" Jianjun asked about Heya.
"Yes. She is very okay." Sara a.s.sured.
"Good then. Say h.e.l.lo to her for me. And about your cla.s.ses... I already registered for you and made the deposit online. There are a lot of things about it you should know so when you come home tomorrow, I"ll explain it all to you."
"Oh... Alright then. Put me in a call with Joreen later. Love you Papa"
"Be good and stay safe" He said before hanging up.
The next day, Sara didn"t bother working out with Heya.
They both had a long talk and Sara reminded her of how special and precious she was. She was glad Heya took everything well and had promised not to overdo it.
When she got home, she received the shock of her life when she saw the outfit Jianjun had laid out for her to wear to the cla.s.s.
She looked at the pink short gown, black bob wig, round gla.s.ses, black laced shoes and a white purse.
"This....is not for me right?" She asked in shock.
"Then is it for me?" He asked sarcastically.
"Why do I have to wear this? It all kooks weird. Besides, this is pink" She lifted the gown with a hand to inspect. "I hate pink! You should have gotten black instead."
She dropped the gown and looked at him. "Why do I have to dress like this?" She asked in confusion.
"I guess you like the attention you"ve been receiving from people lately don"t you? You want everyone to know you are Sara w.a.n.g?" He asked.
Sara knew exactly what he was talking about. People still easily recognised her whenever she went to as the girl from the video who dated Jinyong and it was beginning to annoy the h.e.l.l out of her.
"So you"re saying I should look like this?" She asked again.
"It"s not something new. The cla.s.s accepts false ident.i.ties. According to what I gathered, a lot of rich heirs and heiresses take their cla.s.ses there and their families would not want their children"s ident.i.ty to be revealed so most of them there are on disguise. Their names are also fake. The management only asks for you real name and ID after the cla.s.s so it would be written on your certificate" He explained.
"You don"t want Mr Li to find out also right? Are you not going to be embarra.s.sed?" He asked with a laugh.
"Oh G.o.d! I"ll be more embarra.s.sed wearing this dress. Why didn"t I just disguise as gangster instead?" She asked unhappily.
He raised his hand and threatened to hit her. "You"re going to be learning some etiquette the least you could do is to dress properly."
"Alright...go change Alice" He said with a wink.
"Alice?"
"Yes. That"s the name I registered you with. Alice Feng." He said excitedly.
Sara scoffed and shook her head. "This is totally unbelievable. When is Aunt coming home?"
"She is out. Besides, she can"t do anything. She bought you these clothes and there are more inside that bag" Jianjun pointed at a shopping bag beside the bed.
"I seriously can"t believe this" She said in displeasure before taking the dress with her to go change inside the bathroom before Joreen and Cixi returns home to see her in the embarra.s.sing outfit.
"That"s the building over there. Call me when you"re done. And make sure you take a taxi back home" He said as he turned back to leave.
"I don"t like this." She pouted. "It"s already bad that I look like a doll. I also have to pretend to be someone else?"
"They will all look down on you if they find out you"re not a socialite" He tried to reason with her but she shook her head.
"I"m already angry because of all the money you"ve spent. Why did you choose this kind of expensive place? I would have just taken an online cla.s.s instead" She complained unhappily.
Jianjun smiled warmly at her. "Do whatever you want. The money cannot be refunded. The least you could do is to attend the cla.s.ses. You promised me." He reminded her.
"That"s why I"m here right now. Don"t Jerry about me. No one can look down on me. Have you forgotten who I am?" She asked with a smile.
"Don"t even think about telling anyone that you are Mr Li"s girlfriend. You better watch it and remember what you promised me" Jianjun reminded her of her promise to hide her relations.h.i.+p with Muchen.
"I wasn"t planning on telling anyone. I am Jianjun"s daughter. That is who I am. Sara w.a.n.g! No one can dare look down on me"
She shrugged her shoulders unhappily before heading towards the 5-storey building building.
He laughed and waved her goodbye before going his own way.
The building was really big and comprised of different stores that sold everything one could possible think of.
It was simply magnificent.
She felt very uncomfortable with the way she looked. With the way people glanced at her, she felt that they were probably laughing at her.
To her, she looked really weird.
The gown was just above her knees. The wig she wore made her neck itch. She was even wearing a powder and lipstick!
She took the elevator to the third floor and checked her phone for the cla.s.s" description when she arrived there.
Soon, she stopped in front of a door which had a " First step—BE PUNCTUAL " boldly written on a placard just above the door.
When she was led inside by a young woman in a black and white formal wear, she was awed by the interior. There were other doors to different rooms inside.
She obediently followed the lady till they stopped in front of a steel and gla.s.s office.
"That"s the Admin sitting there. He will attend to you when the man inside leaves" The lady said politely before living Sara there.
She could see a young man sitting there and another who was standing but looked really angry as he spoke to the one sitting down. The place was soundproofed so she couldn"t hear a single word.
The man sitting on the Admin"s desk was Probably in his early 30"s. His hair was gold. She had ni idea whether it was natural or artificial. He looked really good looking like a k-pop star especially with the white gold earring he was wearing on his left earlobe.
"He looks like a gigolo. What is he doing here?" Sara sneered as she looked at him.
His eyes suddenly met hers which gave her a scare.
He smiled at her revealing his perfect dent.i.tion before using a hand to gesture to her to come inside.
Sara furrowed her brows before carefully opening the door.
When she got inside, the man who had been inside looked at her displeasingly.
Since Sara had been outside, she had only seen his back. But now, she noticed he looked very familiar.
