Chapter 4 - Snap out!

Bei Huan walks around from one table to another taking orders, while the owner slacked around enjoying the time, watching his phone.

No matter how many times she asked him to hire help, he always rejected her requests saying there is no need for that.

There were many times when Bei Huan wanted to leave this job, and go work at a better place, but she just couldn't as the owner really payed her well. He was stingy when it came to hiring help but he was never late and stingy with the pay he gave to her, so she always ended up discarding the idea to call quits.

"Bring me some more snacks here" The man over the table yelled looking for the waitress.

"Yes, sir" Bei Huan replied rushing towards the table to refill the snacks, but suddenly one of the customers from the other table raised from their chairs and ended up pushing her to the table, ending in throwing the snacks over him.

"You!" The man screamed in anger getting closer to her and raising his hands on her in an attempt to slap her, as his whole body got covered in spicy pickled vegetables.

"You must control your anger mister" Yang He grabbed his arms stopping him from hitting Bei Huan, but the men sitting with him grabbed his collar and punched him in the face.

Bei Huan looks at them startled and tries to stop them but only got pushed by Yang He to the side fighting the men.

"Yang He, please don't do it!" Bei Huan begged him to stop but he was not listening, all the men grabbed him and lands one punch after another making him fall to the ground.

"You scum, you seriously thought you could beat us?" The man asks punching his face rigorously. 

"I am sorry, sir, I am sorry" Bei Huan kept apologizing to them, to stop them and the owner of the restaurant came and they were finally pulled away from each other.

"I have deducted the cost for the repairs," The owner said handing her the envelope and he stares back at her, "You are smart enough, I don't really have to point out that you are fired, right?" Bei Huan gape at his words and tried to follow him to convince him, but he pushed her out of the restaurant.

Bei Huan stood by the door, trying to talk to the owner, but he ignore her completely, she had her guesses of getting the pay cut, but she was not expecting him to fire her.

"Sir, please, listen to me, you know, this job is important to me, please give me on chance" Bei Huan begged him but he was not listening and pulled the curtains rejecting her pleas.

"I have a business to run, just leave!!" He yelled at her and Yang He pulled her away from the restaurant.

"Yang He, please let me go, you know this job is important for me" Bei Huan tried to pull her hands away but Yang He tightened his grip over her hands pulling her out.

Yang He stopped by the gate pulling his phone out and dialed a number over the phone and stretched his hand over Bei Huan giving her the phone, she looks at him puzzled and he and he urges her to take the phone.

Bei Huan grabbed the phone, and looked over the caller Id and placed the phone over her ear.

"Hello" she spoke on the call and Yang He slowly let lose his grip over her hands.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS??" Bei Huan exclaimed in happiness, she was not ready for this. Yang He looks at her smiling happily.

'She is beautiful' He thought walking closer to her, and stood behind her watching her smile and get all happy on the call.

"Yang He!" She excitedly called his name and looked back and saw him standing right behind her, just a few inches away, she moved away and smiled at him, her charcoal eyes lit with happiness and her pale face flushed red with the sudden closeness.

"What is it?" He asked taking a step towards her, seeing her blush, wanting to see more of it.

"Nuo found me a job at the mansion she works!" Bei Huan spoke happily looking at him and he nods his head gazing at her with holding love in his eyes.

Bei Huan trailed her eyes over his face, taking note of the bruises and rambled her purse searching for band aids.

"Nuo asked me to come here, because you were not receiving her calls" Yang He explained her, and she nods her head and finally smiled pulling the band aids.

"Please use this, and I am sorry you have to see all that" Bei Huan says stretching her hands towards him.

Yang He took a deep breath pulling her closer to him and tightening his grip over her back.

"Don't say sorry," He warned her caressing her back, Bei Huan couldn't understand what as happening but she tried to stay calm, and felt him moving back, seeing her frozen and stiffened body.

He chuckled and pat her head. "Congratulations for the job" He congratulates her while pushing back the strands of his hair over his face.

Bei Huan's eyes followed his slim fingers running through his dark hair and gulped hard thinking how it would feel if she was the one doing it.

'Snap out' A voice echoed in her mind and she shook her head looking down and taking deep breaths, trying to control her thirst.
