You haven't even seen his face though how'd you know his cute Lee asked Dana who looked awkwardly not wanting to tell Lee how she had met Linx.
Oh I just think he has a great body "-" jeez she had actually said that, she couldn't even stand this creature for an hour and here she was complimenting him?
Hello handsome Lee said grinning at Linx while totalling ignoring Dana, he had even asked the lady in charge of the counter to go inside so he could take charge of the counter all so he could talk to Linx.
How silly Dana muttered to herself.
How can I help you today, Lee said flashing Linx a big smile, unfortunately Linx ignored him, simply grabbing his key from the top of the counter without even a word he left only to stop half way and speak to Dana
"remember our meeting tomorrow by 12 at the BS stadium, and don't be late"
Alright.... Was all she could say as he left without even waiting for her answer leaving her to explain herself to a curious Lee who was staring at her like she was movie or something.
You sounded like you didn't Know him a while ago he said looking at her suspiciously
Well it's kind of complicated, quickly she brought out the fee for the late return of the earring before he could say anything she hurried out.
That was close she thought. Returning home she met a grumpy Xixi who looked like she had fought with someone with the state of her hair, she sat in the dark with a green beauty herbal mask and scattered hair scarring Dana when she switched on the lights in the apartment
Haaa!! Ghost! ghost! She screamed waking a half asleep Xixi who started running and shouting "ghost as well.
Where's the ghost Xixi asked when she saw no one else apart from Dana who had also been shouting ghost before she joined.
I thought the ghost was you Xixi, what are you doing looking all weird and what happened to your hair? Dana asked her, her look suddenly fell flat as she sat down and started fake crying.
Oh Dana....my life has been turned upside down, I must have offended a witch in my past life for my day to go this way.
Dana was used to an overdramatic Xixi, she was an actress so it was normal for her to be dramatic right, although Xixi's career had kicked off and only got minor roles in movies she wasn't doing too bad, she was an optimistic sweet soul looking innocent and less then her actual age. Xixi looks could qualify her for major TV roles but it didn't work like that in the industry, you need connections, talent and hard work but mostly you just need connections, it could get you roles you didn't even merit she couldn't count the number of times she qualified for a role but was given a silly excuse and the role given to someone else it made her sick but she couldn't give up on her dreams.
Alright tell me, what happened Dana said removing her cap and falling on the sofa like a log of wood.
Can you believe I shot one scene four times! And after that the lead male character disappeared from set, I mean it isn't his fault it was because of the silly "You Kim" she kept flirting with my Oppa and falling out of character every single time!... Xixi said letting out yet another loud cry with no tears.
You ain't saying anything Xixi said throwing a small pillow at Dana who was lost in thought, she still had 2000yuan she had to pay that cocky guy every other thing now was secondary.
Tell you sorry? You ain't even crying real tears you're just been dramatic Dana teased.
Can't you see I've got a beauty mask on, you want me to ruin it with my eyes and get eye bags. I still got to react those scenes tomorrow you know, you're such a terrible friend Zheng Dana, once again she started fake crying shouting louder and rolling on coach, making Dana laugh for the first time.
But you got to see your idol, what's that his name Dana said asked
Feng Linx, Xixi quickly chipped in wearing a puppy look on her face.
Yes that one, at least you got to see him in person, your day wasn't so bad then.
That's true Xixi said smiling sheepishly, oh my sweet Dan you always seem to make me feel better with your words she said placing her hands around Dana's neck.
I know, I know I'm great Dana said smiling.
Arghh Dana always praising yourself, I'll go make you a bowl of noodles.
That would be great Dana chuckled, thankfully it's just Noodles I wouldn't want to ruin my stomach with your horrible cooking skills, Dana said as Xixi ran off to the kitchen.
After dinner Xixi went to bed while Dana stayed up half of the night trying to get a loan from cash apps but the interest rates and time to pay the money back weren't favourable and it's not like she had a friend or even family to lend the money from. But then again she didn't have to pay him back right? He didn't even know where she was living so what's the need?
Nah..
she had to find a way to pay up, she had been the one that agreed that she would pay for the ride, she didn't want to see him one day and start running or have to always look over her shoulders when she was out. What she couldn't understand though was why he even needed her to pay, he looked rich two thousand Yaun would probably mean nothing to him. Her only option was her mean boss now.
The following morning she headed out wearing a flowery short dress with white sneakers and a cross bag. She got to the restaurant where she worked early enough to find her boss Mr Chu. Mr Chu was in his late 50s, he was barely five fts tall, had a big round stomach with a bald head and a terrible smile which often looked like he was trying to cry whenever he smiled or maybe he was doing both. Once he had smiled at a customer's child the poor child probably got scared and started crying. To crown it all he was a very mean man, he always seem to look for an opportunity to show off.
As she walked into his office she heard he shouting at Mrs Song, the restaurant's assistant chef, poor lady she unfortunately incurred his wrath so early in the morning.
Bowing to an upset Madam Song who left hurriedly without returning her greetings and then to Mr Chu who didn't even raise his eyes from the documents he was going through.
What is it Miss Zheng, Mr Chu asked finally after Dana had stood there for close to two minutes, after clearing her throat awkwardly multiple times to get his attention.
Elder Chu sir, i wanted to ask if I could please get an advance of my next three months salary Dana said in a shaky voice.
Mr Chu raised his head up for the first time looking at Dana from head to toe before he spoke.
I can't do that Miss Zheng, I run a business not a charity. If I should give you an advance, not just any but for three whole months I'll have the whole employees asking for theirs too" relaxing on his chair with his fat hands in front of the area that's supposed to be his stomach but instead his stomach towered above it.
Please Sir I really need this money, I promise I'll work extra shifts for it Dana said with pleading eyes.
The look Mr Chu was giving her made her feel uncomfortable, standing up from his chair he walked to where she was standing, made a semi circle around her whilst checking her out with a stupid smug on his face Dana felt like slapping out of his face and just like she thought, this despicable man was going to make a deal with her body.
Well Miss Zheng we could do it this way instead, I'll transfer the money to you if you come meet me at the Kings Grand hotel tonight, you give me what I want and you get what you need if you an exceptional job i might even tip you he shamelessly said with a wink.
She always knew Mr Chu could stoop to this level, only fools would believe the girls that sometimes came looking for him or followed him to the restaurant were his relatives like he claimed.
"You know I've always liked you, but you always seemed too into your own business, without paying attention to this love sick man" what was this fool even saying? So he always had an eye on her and now she presented him the opportunity arghh!
Moving his bag of a body closer to her he tried touching the exposed area of her chest, without thinking Dana slapped him across the face. Good two slaps for two idiots in the last three days, first it was San and now Mr Chu.
Get your dirty hands away from me! She yelled pushing him so hard he feel to the ground. Mr Chu was shocked to his bones, this little mouse slapped him?! Chu Long!! How dare she, his face had turned red from the impact of the slap and anger. Angrily she stormed out of his office
"if you walk out of here just know you are fired!!" She heard he say from inside the office, oh well she already knew that slap was her resignation latter.
The staffs had heard the yelling and the sound of the slap coming from Me Chu's office, they were all whispering as she left without saying a word to anyone. She wasn't close to any of the staffs since she had just started working there two months ago besides she wasn't one to make friends or form bonds with people wherever she went, Xixi's the only one she could call a friend or that she even spent time talking to.
Seems she had to take up the job that ghost Robin (Linx) had offered, she could tolerate him for the next two months plus she would get paid that's if he didn't change his mind right, how hard could it be? she asked herself.
Dana got a taxi and headed for the stadium, by 11am she arrived. Sitting on one of the seats in the stadium she noticed a couple of people down the race track. From the equipments they carried one could tell they were shooting a movie or something.
That wasn't even her problem she imagined herself smiling at Robin (Linx) with a cup of coffee in her hands saying "Hi boss" here's your coffee, while she used the other hand to fan him. Urghh she was definitely going to go crazy.
