Lin Qiaolian turned to the entrance and looked up to see a familiar handsome figure walking in.
It was Jian Mengyao. She has only seen Jian Mengyao on the news, in the magazines and from afar. Even while on the set of FATED she only ever saw him from afar.
This was her first time seeing him this up close and the pictures really didn't do him any justice. He was a very attractive man with a well built and proportional body.
He was about 188cm tall with long legs and a muscular build unlike a few tall men that were often times on the skinny side
He had a chiseled face with beautiful deep sets eyes, pointed nose and pink bowshaped lips which coupled with his heart shaped face and his jet black hair made him very eye catching.
"Hey Qiaolian ! Qiaolian snap out of it. You have to go take their order" Little Jun said snapping his fingers at her.
She had been standing there for eyes fixed on their rather attractive patron for close to five minutes with a silly smile on her face.
"Oh yes that's right, I'll go do that" she replied blushing deeply.
"Good and please for the love of all that is holy do not get tongue tied and stare at him like an obsessed fan"
"Hey not funny" she said loudly and slapped him on the hand Noticing the customer's around the counter's weird stare she put down her head and walked away quickly.
'Jeez How embarrasing' She thought as she walked over to Jian Mengyao's table feeling so self conscious and maybe a little nervous
Which was not just because of this was her first time meeting a man that was so attractive that he actually had a fan base that could rival that of an idol star.
No that wasn't it at all, after working as a make up artist in the industry even if it was only for a short while. She had already met her fair share of celebrities that she was immune to the whole celebrity holo and all
Her reaction had a lot to do with the fact that she had idolized him for many years and she couldn't believe that she was finally going to meet him in the flesh.
As she got closer a little voice within her began to earn her to be careful incase he had come over to settle a score with her because of her conflict with Feng Mimi but she quickly shut down that thought entirely.
The possibility of that was pretty low, she had made sure of that by sending him evidence of Feng Mimi's secret rendezvous with various Directors and producers at various private rooms around the city.
She had made the decision to reveal everything after a stressful day of job hunting. After being turned away by many productions. She had grown fed up and just broke, to cheer her up Xiao Xiao and Little Jun had taken her out for drinks at a night club.
After some deep thinking she surmounted up the courage to ask Little Jun for help. Little Jun was good at finding out facts, in just a few weeks He found evidence of Feng Mimi's affairs and delivered it to her.
A few days later he informed her that everything had been set. She had never doubted that he would get the job done, Little Jun was just like a brother to her.
He was her older brother's best friend and has always looked out for her. Especially during that's last few years that her brother had been hospitalized.
Jian Mengyao wasn't the only one on his table, There ware Two other men seated across from him, both of whom were dressed in suits. It looked more like a business meeting than a social outing.
"Hello sir what can I get you" She said softly be with her megawatts customer service smile.
This was all part of the week long training she had underwent when she got employed as a waitress.
"Hello I'll have a glass of water" Jian Mengyao replied
"okay one glass of water coming up and you" she said writing down his order.
"We'll also have a class of water with ice"
"alright I'll go get your order" Lin Qiaolian replied returning the notepad and pen into her apron and walking back to the bar
Seconds later she deliver their orders and returned to the bar.
Hours later it was pass the prime service time for the bar. There were fewer people at bar.
it was almost midnight and her shift was coming to an end. Lin Qiaolian was seated on a bar stool behind the counter watching as Little Jun mixed some drinks for the patrons seated at the counter.
A few seconds later Jian Mengyao called out for a waiter. She stood and walked over to his table to take his ordee
His business partners were both gone and he was the only one on the table when she arrived.
"Hi please can I have three glasses of bourbon" Jian Mengyao said.
"okay coming right up" Lin Qiaolian replied and went back to get the drink.
A four glasses later Jian Mengyao was a lot more relaxed. He even stricked up a conversation with her.
"Hmm you might have to bring me the entire bottle, with how sad I feel right now I just might stay longer than I expected" he said looking up at her.
A few minutes later she came back with the bottle of bourbon and placed it on the bed table.
"Thanks, You must be surprised by my outrageous order. It's not everyday you see some one chunking down a bottle of bourbon" he said pouring himself and glass of bourbon.
"You must be new since I don't think I have ever seen you here and I come here often. I know that sounds like am an alcoholic but I promise you I am not.
I usually come here to meet with my business partners. This is the first time I am staying this late to drink in years" he continued and took a swing of his drink.
"I am usually out of the bar as soon as the meeting is over but this time I find myself staying longer.
I guess it must have something to do with the fact that I just found out that I have been lied by the woman I love for almost a decade" he said taking another swing of his drink.
"wow I must look pathetic don't I seating down hear drowning my pain in alcohol and telling a stranger my life life story. Never thought I'd ever find myself doing something like this" he said shaking his head gently.
As if finally noticing her silence he looked up and asked "You've been awfully quiet what's wrong? Don't tell me you aren't allowed to talk with the customers"
Since Jian Mengyao Walked in, Lin Qiaolian had already decided to keep to herself especially with her involvement in the revelation.
Listening to his complaint she couldn't help but feel guilty. She began to question her motive in revealing the truth.
'Was she too quick to reveal everything? Maybe she should have left everything as it was? Even though He deserved to know the truth maybe she was too selfish in her decision?'
Jian Mengyao clearly wasn't taking things well. She had thought that once he found out the truth that he would be angry and not broken. Seeing him like this just made her sad.
"You know what forget I said anything. you should get going" he said dismissive.
She stayed back for a few minutes before walking back to the counter.
At the end of her shift Lin Qiaolian changed back to her normal clothes, picked up her clothes and walked into the entrance to get a taxi.
When she ran into a drunk Jian Mengyao attempting to get into his car
"You can't drive right now Mr Jian?" she said walking up to him.
"Huh why" he stood still before turning to his side and leaning on his black Range Rover. "Oh it's you! what's wrong pretty waitress" he said with a silly smiling
"You can drive right now you're drunk. Why don't you give me an address and I'll call you a cab to take you home"
"No I can't do that. I can't go home"
"Why"
"Why can't you go home?"
"I just can't. Please take me home"He said giving her a side hug.
"what?! I can't just take you home. we just met and I don't even know you"
"Yes you do my little pwettie on...." He said as he blacked out.
