Chapter nine
Lin wei was familiar with disasters to be very honest. A disastrous mont was that one ti in high school when she was calling her mathematics teacher a-gremlin-with-stick-shoved-up-his ass, while the said teacher was at her back with his mouth agape. That had earned her two weeks of suspension.
Another disastrous mont was when she farted, not a cute little toot but an outrightly loud fart that threatened to tear a hole inside her leggings, while she was on a first date with a potential boyfriend.
But nothing, nothing could top this mont of apparent mortification molded into an overwhelming catastrophe. She fell flat on her face, her nose rimd into the hard marbled floor. Gasp flew around the room, a few people chuckled.
Heat of embarrassnt and sha climbed up her neck and she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.
She scrambled to get up, her face flaming red. She dusted the martini and small chops from her tight skirt and bend down to pick? Pack? The broken glass on the floor.
She regretted her decision over and over again, wondering why she was wearing this tight skirt and the ridiculously high heels. Hell, the sole of shoe her was lodged in the floor, sweat trickled down her armpit. Oh God, she was in for so deep ss.
What if the Esther decided that she was going to remove the damages from her wage?
"What are you going to do about this ss?"A voice spoke flatly from above her.
The voice was oddly familiar, and sohow it sent a shiver of fear down her spine.
She raised her gaze to look at the muscled wall of flesh, broad chest that leads into a tapered waist that eventually gave way to strong thighs. She let her gaze linger on the soft elegant fingers, and the expensive looking watch strapped to it.
And finally, finally she let her eyes trailed to his face and she almost keeled over with surprise.
The room had gone deathly silent now, she fancied she could hear the loud thump of her heartbeat against her ribcage.
"I..I..I'm sorry" she sputtered. She could see the pink sloshed stain on his suit.
Ohh hell. She was in deep trouble again! How much did his shirt cost now? Enough to feed her for six years surely.
"So? So what if you're sorry?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. His voice was cold and unearthly..𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓭𝓵𝔂.
Did he not rember her? Did the gods perhaps help her and erase the mories of that particular ti from his mories? If so, she would be eternally glad.
"I'll..help you clean it," she squeaked.
"Clean what?" He asked again. There was sothing unnerving about his voice, sothing extrely cold and distant that most feel reprimanding.
"Your shit..I an shirt," she spluttered. Suddenly, the embarrassnt turned into a rusing wave of anger.
"I'm so sorry Ezekiel" Another man in a black tightly fit suit ca rushing. His face was red and spots of sweats was forming on his face.
He offered his handkerchief, fussed with the said shirt and when the guy leveled him with a withering glare and he imdiately withdrew his hand.
"It's okay," he shrugged off the stained shirt, revealing his inner white tee.
And dear God, Lin wei almost swoon. Did she think he was gorgeous before? He was outright a nace to her heartbeat.
The white tee fit snugly, hugging his biceps and she could see a tattoo peeking out. Lin wei licked her lips and made an involuntary swallow.
"I'm very very sorry sir, I should have.." Esther begin, but was cut off with a dismissive flick of the guy's hand.
"It's fine," he said. He let his gaze wander around and finally settled on Lin wei, much like one would look at a disturbing housefly or mosquito.
"It's you again," it wasn't an accusation, it was a statent. He said it with a small shake of his head, like he should have known.
"Send those slides to , I'll check for their rit,"he said to the man that was beside him, he paused, pointed a long finger at the Lin Wei's eyes "You really should get help."
He strolled out, not even battling an eyelash at the several awkward attempts at good- byes from all angles.
"You should get to cleaning" Esther snapped. No doubt annoyed by the arrogant behavior.
Lin wei sighed softly as she removed her shoes, and tiptoed around the broken shards to get the cleaning equipnt. The anger and embarrassnt was still there, but she couldn't stop the slight pang of relief that word it way into her heart.
He rembered her and that must an he definitely rembered the accident, which of course could only an he rembered the debt! But he said nothing about it.
It was a huge relief, but she couldn't stop the apprehension that cos with it. What if she was just deluding herself? Want if she was just a delulu, wanting her debt to be forgotten by all ans?
The two situations were possible, she mused gently to herself as she swept the shards into the bin.
Like she had guessed already, it wasn't a eting as much as a get together and let out for spoilt rich brats so that they could gossip.
She vaguely recalled the guy talking about the rit or sothing like that, so that must an so so business must be involved.
Bits and pieces of so floating conversation reached her ears and she couldn't help the snicker that ca out as a result.
"Did you see his chest?" Soone said with a dramatic gasp.
"I could shag him right there and then. The way everything just molded into his body so perfectly, I wanted to be a shirt so bad" the other one cooed.
Lin wei rolled her eyes, but she couldn't help but agree. He looked like he walked straight out of won fantasies.
"Miss Wei? We need to talk" Esther called.
Lin wei groaned. Her fantasy was coming true.
Jail beckons!
