The first time she saw Muchen, he had seen her fight and threaten his Cousin.
The first time she saw his sister, Heya had disliked her for no reason at all.
The first time she saw his mother, the woman had slapped her for being a bad influence to her daughter.
The first time she saw his grandmother, she had challenged her and told her she was not going to stay away from her grandson.
And now, she had mistaken his father for an employee and called him a pessimist?
She gasped in shock at the realisation that Mr Pessimist was actually Chairman Li "Chair....man Li.. I... The thing is... I had no idea you were...Chairman Li... Everything... I said... I didn"t mean it... I...I was joking." She stammered with her head down.
How was she going to come out of this mess right now? How was she possibly going to do it?
She tried to recall the entire conversation she had with him.
When she remembered bits of it, she closed her eyes and tried to steady her breath.
Wait... Did she tell him her real self was horrible and she was taking manner cla.s.ses because she lacked it?
Did she tell him she was going to gloat to him after his parents accepts her?
Did she tell him to say nice things about her to his family? Suddenly remembering this part, her heart stopped.
Unknowingly, her eyes began to water. She had really killed herself this time.
She had just shot her own foot.
In fact, she had no idea what happened next. The only thing she remembered was that she opened a restroom"s door and hid herself in one of the cubicles to think her life through.
Chairman Li was never going to want someone like her as his daughter in law.
She felt a tear trickle down her face.
Her phone began to ring and she checked to see it was a call from Changyu.
She quickly used a hand to clean off the tears from her face before taking the call.
"h.e.l.lo Sara." Changyu greeted.
Sara greeted also before Changyu asked.
"Are you inside the hall now?"
"I... I am in the restroom opposite the side door of the hall."
"Why do you sound that way? Are you okay?"
Changyu asked when she heard Sara"s unsteady voice.
She began to head towards the direction of the restroom.
"I...am okay.." She answered.
"Hang on." Changyu said before ending the call.
After the call dropped, Jianjun called her immediately.
"How are you? Are you there yet?" He asked Sara.
Sara could not hold it in anymore and began to cry. "I messed up. I messed up big time" She said to her father.
"What happened? What did they do to you?" Jianjun"s worried voice asked.
"Dad... I am so embarra.s.sed." She paused to cry a bit before adding. "I mistook Chairman Li as an employee and said a lot to him. Why did I have to say so much to a stranger? I just felt we clicked and wanted an advice from him. How on earth did he end up as Mr Li"s father? I even told him I didn"t want to be introduced to his son because he wasn"t my type. I even called him a Pessimist!"
As she recalled everything that had happened, her tears flowed down even more. This was the first time she was feeling so helpless. How was she supposed to face him now?
"What? You...really said all of that to him? What did he do? How did he react?" He asked impatiently.
"I don"t know... I ran away. I"m currently in the restroom and I don"t know how to face him. I even called his wife scary and used him as a s.h.i.+eld to hide from her"
Jianjun almost laughed but he knew Sara was probably going to transfer the aggression to him if he did so. But as much as it was funny, he was really shocked to hear about it.
"Just wait. I"ll come help you apologize to him okay. But you have to go out. I"ll be there shortly"
"You shouldn"t come. How can you leave the restaurant to come apologize for my mess? I"m not a baby" She whined.
"So are you just going to lock yourself in there? You went there for a different purpose remember? Just go out and apologize sincerely to him. If he refuses to forgive you, I"ll help you speak to him."
"But I"m scared...." She admitted sadly.
"Have you forgotten who you are? You are Sara w.a.n.g. Jianjun w.a.n.g"s daughter. The number two major shareholder of DELIMEAL."
He tried to boost her mood by flattering her.
Sara closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. "I am Sara w.a.n.g. Jianjun w.a.n.g"s daughter. And a shareholder." She stood firm before opening the door and flinched in shock when she saw Changyu standing there.
"Miss Changyu..." She called before quickly hanging up. "I didn"t know you were here"
Changyu smiled at her. She had been standing there for a while and had listened to her phone conversation. Although she had only heard Sara"s part as she cried and complained, she could roughly guess what was going on with her.
She had to admit that Jianjun was a good father. He was really close to his daughter to the point where she could tell him anything.
No wonder Sara was a loveable kid.
It made her remember how he had rejected their own child.
"Are you okay?" Changyu asked her.
Sara sighed before nodding her head.
"I feel better now. You look stunning by the way." Sara complimented.
Changyu was wearing a green bodyfitted evening dress that ended just below her ankle and a nude heel to go with it.
Sara concluded that the woman probably had a thing for "nude" since most of her footwears and clutch— including the one she was holding now was nude.
Her hair was put up in a jaw clip which allowed the neckline of her dress to reveal the diamond necklace around her neck which matched the diamond earrings that were dangling freely on both her earlobes.
"You look really good also. You were really prepared for this" Changyu said to her before handing her a handkerchief from her clutch.
"You must have cried a lot"
"Oh... Thanks" Sara took the handkerchief from her and moved towards the mirror to dab her face.
"I just ruined my make-up. It had taken hours to fix all these" She complained unhappily.
"I"ll help you." Changyu took out her powder and gently began to help Sara apply it on her face.
"You didn"t have to cry because of that" Changyu said to her. "Chairman Li seems like a nice man. I"m not sure he"ll be offended by it"
Sara guessed that she must have heard her making the call earlier. She was lucky others hadn"t been inside the restroom with her.
"Do not worry. I"ll help you talk to him. At least, he"ll listen to me." She promised.
"You...will really do that for me?" Sara asked hopefully.
"Sure. So you just have to do what you have to do and I"ll handle the rest. Okay?"
