Hello, Mr Li Chapter 12
Advertisement
When Sara woke up the next morning, she saw a little brown face hovering above hers and was slightly startled.
"Sis? you're awake?" Joreen asked with a smile. Revealing her two missing front teeth.
Sara gently sat up. Thanks to her Father's help last night, she was not suffering from a hangover that much but only felt slightly weak.
The window was wide opened and the bright sunlight stinged her eyes. She had to shield her eyes with her hands as she tried to adjust to the sudden brightness after being asleep for a long time.
The room was quite small. There were only two bedrooms in the apartment. One she shared with Joreen and the other one was her father's. Sara and Joreen both shared the same bed as the room wouldn't fit an extra bed except it was a really small mattress which wouldn't be a good idea since Joreen was a rough sleeper.
"Sis, what happened? Was it really them?"
Unlike her father, Joreen was a rather nosy little girl. She was still too young to know the type of questions she was supposed to ask or not. Sara nodded while yawning.
"O.M.G!" Joreen exclaimed then covered her agape mouth. Sara couldn't help but laugh at her dramatics. She could see the evidence of all the Korean dramas Joreen had been watching.
She was really grateful for having Joreen by her side. Joreen's mother was her Father's younger sister, Cixi Wang. She had gotten pregnant for an African man she met during one of her volunteer job outside the country.
He later abandoned her and since then, she hadn't heard from him. When she finally had Joreen, she made sure Joreen bore the surname 'Wang'.
Since she was still always busy with her volunteer work as a doctor, which required moving from one country to another often, she had to leave her daughter with her only brother, Jianjun Wang and his daughter, Sara. But that did not stop her from calling everyday except she was really busy. They gladly agreed to it. Sara loved her aunt a lot. Joreen also, was a sweet little girl. Although she had a brown skin and afro black hair, which was very different from how most kids around country B looked like, she was not so easily bullied because she was a bully herself. And also had Sara to back her up! Sara didn't know how the past year would have been if not for the dramatic Joreen beside her.

Joreen had been waiting for Sara to wake up for a long time. She had waited last night tirelessly and finally fell asleep. When she woke up this morning and finally saw Sara beside her sleeping, she didn't want to let go of this opportunity to have a good gossip. So she had been waiting for her to wake up.. "Did you hit them?" She asked curiously while acting all angry. "No." Sara answered.
"Why? See why I should have followed you!" She said disapprovingly.
"...." Sara
"I never liked that Jinyong" Joreen said.
Sara looked at her and cocked her head to the side while raising a brow Joreen seemed to understand what she was trying to say by her actions and suddenly blurted out.
"Well, maybe I did like him just a little bit" She used her fingers to show the tiny degree of 'like' she had for him. Sara laughed again.
Joreen had always liked Jinyong because he usually showered her with gifts. She had even envisioned how she was going to become Sara's Chief bridesmaid and wear nice clothes on their wedding day. "Jinyong? You usually call him brother Jin yong" Sara said.
"Of course he is now Jinyong! He doesn't deserve to be called brother Jinyong by me or you" Joreen replied firmly.
Sara was speechless. She didn't know whether Joreen was loyal or simply shameless.
"So what about Weiyoung? Are you also going to stop calling her big sis?" Sara asked sarcastically.
"I won't be needing any reason to call her that because I don't even want to see her again!"
She then changed the topic. "Dad already prepared breakfast. I will heat it up for you so you can go freshen up" Joreen said before standing up. She suddenly stood up from the bed and left the room.

Sara looked at her retreating little figure and smiled. Joreen was used to calling Jianjun Wang as Dad since he was the only Father figure she was close to, and she had always watched Sara call him dad, it would be awkward for her to call him uncle. Besides, Jianjun Wang doesn't treat her like his niece but as his daughter. Joreen was happy for this little family of hers.
***
Sara and Joreen always paid a visit to Jianjun in his restaurant every afternoon. They usually had their lunch there and help him out with the little they can before returning back home.
They didn't need to go by a bus since it was quite walkable from their apartment.
Someone suddenly bumped into Sara and dropped some books on the floor. He apologised sincerely while picking the books up then quickly entered the taxi he had stopped earlier.
Joreen noticed there was a sheet of paper still left on the floor and called after him. But he had already boarded the taxi and left. She picked it up and showed it to Sara. Sara read it for a while and her eyes widened. It was a job vacancy for a Fitness Coach. When she saw the monthly pay, her eyes widened in shock and she stood there like a stature.
Someone who had been observing the entire situation nearby quickly placed a call across to someone. When it went through, he spoke confidently. "It is done!"
....
Ms Long nodded and hung up then looked at Li Muchen who was facing the floor to ceiling window in his apartment and spoke.
"Mr Li. it is done!" "
Alright!" He said without turning to face her. A smug smile appeared on his face when he thought about how everything was perfectly falling in place.

Mr Reigns
I was going to die on the stairs. Before I could actually feel the other steps of the stairs, I felt hands wrapped themselves around my waist. My eyes were closed. Why do we close our eyes when there were some dangers? That was stupid. As if with closed eyes, we weren't going to feel any pain. "Fuck. Are you okay?" I opened my eyes quickly when I heard this deep sexy voice. My eyes widened at the sexy piece of human standing in front of me. No human had the right to be that sexy. "God?" I asked. When he rose one of his perfect eyebrows in confusion, I realized how stupid I sounded. His perfect face was everything. His well trimmed beard made him look so handsome. His green eyes was hypnotizing. As his body was pressed against mine, I could feel how muscular he was. He helped up stand up and roughly let go of me. His eyes trailed to the floor. I followed his eyes to see a cigarette on the floor. "I'm sorry?" I more like questioned. Was I supposed to apologize for the wasted cigarette which was going to ruin his health? "Thank you" I said when I decided to look at him again. He was already staring at me. He was wearing a black suit. His hair was perfectly fixed. I wonder how would he look if his hair was messy and he was wearing a Jean. Noticing that he was not going to say anything else, I stared at the stairs. "I'm going to go" I simply said and walked down the stairs carefully. When I was on the grass, I gently lifted my dress so that it wouldn't be ruined and walked bare feet on the grass. I turned my head slightly to look at the man, who seemed to be observing me. He was still on the stairs, his eyes on me. He was model worthy. He did seem to the snobby type of man. I quickly turned around to face the woods. That man could take the breath away just by his looks.
