Sat.u.r.day would have been like every other normal day. If the video of Heya singing in public had not been posted online.
When she got back that night, she waited tirelessly for Muchen to return so she would tell him how she sang and received applause. But he didn"t return till she fell asleep. In the Early hours, he left for work without her meeting him. She had overslept after the biking yesterday. Even if she hadn"t biked, the joy in her heart would make her sleep peacefully.
There was no need exercising today neither was there a need for Muchen to join them, since they had a stressful day yesterday. Sara helped Heya ma.s.sage her body as she went on and on about how Cearo had called her once she woke up. And wanted to meet her one last time before he travelled back to school.
"He seems like a nice guy" Sara commented.
"I guess. But I"m not sure I"m ready to tell him yet that you"re my Fitness coach."
"Why?" She was amazed at Heya"s fluctuating confidence.
"I don"t know. Besides, it"s better to refer to you as my friend. We are friends right?" She asked with a smile.
Sara laughed. "Of course. Who would not want to have the Almighty Li Heya as a friend?"
"Not as much as they wish to be the Almighty Li Heya"s sister in law"
Sara didn"t utter a word.
"You don"t want that position?" Heya asked.
"It doesn"t suit me" It was the only sentence Sara could make.
Heya nodded and said with a smile. "You didn"t say you didn"t want it though."
Sara stopped using her hands on Heya"s body and relaxed on the sofa. She was about to say something when her phone rang. It was Joreen who informed her about a viral video online. Some even captioned it.
"Jin"s young master and Li"s young mistress dating?"
"Li corporation"s young Mistress unveiled"
Most people were shocked to have realised it was Li Heya. No one had actually paid attention at first. Everyone was talking about their voices and how amazing they sounded together. Until an anonymous user brought their attention to Cearo"s introduction of the both of them before they began singing. A lot of people did not believe because having the same name and surname was a normal coincidence. But the person had sent a photo of Heya getting into a car, with Sara standing beside her. Her former cla.s.smates also confirmed that it was Li Heya.
Heya was almost at the edge of breaking down when she read the comments about how she was fat and that was why she had been hiding. Some said she would have made it in the entertainment industry if only she was fit.
Her phone rang. It was a call from Cearo.
Sara had tried everything she could to stop Heya from reading more. But Heya had refused.
"Are you not going to take your call?" Sara asked her.
Heya took a deep breath and answered it.
"Are you okay Heya?" Cearo asked.
"I"m fine. Are you okay?" She asked softly.
He chuckled a bit before speaking. "Well, I"m good. I had no idea they took things so seriously here. We"ll get that down soon. How"s your family reacting to this?"
The sudden mention of her family caused her to jolt up from the sofa. "Oh G.o.d! They are going to freak out"
"They"re not aware yet?" He asked.
"I don"t think so. I only just heard about it also."
"You don"t have to panic. My family would get rid of all of it" His people had also been surprised to see a video of him online. And were in the middle of taking it all down.
Heya paced round the room. All effort to calm her down by Sara was futile. She had tried reaching Muchen but he wasn"t picking up. She had called Ms Long but was informed that she took the weekend off and Muchen would probably be in a meeting with an important client.
Sara kept going through the comments online. When she saw something, her eyes brightened "You need to see this" She pa.s.sed her phone to Heya. When Heya saw it, her eyes widened.
Muchen had just finished his meeting with Song Changyu when he saw several missed calls from Heya.
He had expected to meet with Changyu personally, but had been shocked to find Mo Dexi there also, who was equally shocked to see him. When Song Changyu entered she spoke only twice, the first thing she said was "I"ll give you both 10 minutes each to explain why I have to sell the land to you"
This came as a surprise to the both of them. After they were both done,she said. "You"ll both hear from me" And that had been all. It was more like they were being interviewed.
Before he called Heya back, his secretary had briefed him on the entire issue.
"Bro. Sorry, I didn"t know you were busy."
"So you have a boyfriend now?" He asked.
"Bro... what.. what. are you talking about?" She stuttered.
"I saw that Jin guy trying to hug you. He"s lucky he didn"t succeed"
Heya laughed. Sara who was also listening giggled silently.
"I"m sorry. I didn"t think about the implication before I did that"
"I"ll take care of it. You sounded amazing by the way" He complimented. When he was shown the video. He had been really surprised to see Heya singing boldly. Another thing that caught his eyes aside from Jin Cearo who had been wanting to hug her, was the pretty girl Heya hugged. She had really helped his sister a lot.
He knew she was trying to avoid him. He had to make use of this chance. "Is Sara there?"
Once he confirmed she was there, he asked Heya to pa.s.s the phone over to her.
Her heart skipped when she heard him ask about her. She took the phone slowly and spoke.
"Mr Li."
"How distant" He thought. "I"ll send someone to bring Joreen over tomorrow."
"Oh... okay. Thanks"
After silence lingered for a while, he asked.
"Are you free tomorrow night?
