A Slight Smile is Very Charming

Part 39: I'm too embarrassed >0<

He fixes his shirt and goes outside.

The door closes.  Wei Wei doesn't even have the strength to go back and sit on the sofa; she slides down with her back against the door and sits on the floor.  With her arms wrapped around her legs, her ears and face are red as she feels restless yet vexed and annoyed at the same time......

It's a long while later when Wei Wei finally regains her strength and clears her mind from all the mixed emotions.

Wei Wei gets up in a second.  After all, how can she just squat here waiting for him?  That's too absurd!  No way!  It's best to hurry and run away.

But when she makes her way to the office's entrance, she stops.

What would it mean if she runs off like this?  It's, it's actually quite normal, isn't it?  She had imagined it happening long ago, hasn't she?......

It just happened too suddenly so she wasn't prepared and acted like an idiot ==

If she runs off like this, would it make her seem more idiotic and that she's making a big deal out of it?......

Wei Wei stands at the entrance thinking in her head.  Her head is about to explode from trying to decide whether she should leave or not.

While she is in the dilemma, a beef on rice meal saves her.

The elevator doors open on the sound of a "ding."  A young man wearing a baseball cap walks out holding a plastic bag.  He looks around and stops in front of Wei Wei.

"You are Miss Bei?"

Wei Wei nods while feeling a little startled.

"Hi, here is your beef on rice delivery, thank you.  It'll be fifteen RMB," the baseball cap lad hands over the plastic bag.

Beef on rice......

She doesn't need to think to know who ordered it; he clearly heard her.  Wei Wei takes the plastic bag from him.  She feels powerless with her face and ears red once again.

The baseball cap lad waits for Wei Wei to pay him.  She reaches into her pocket and gives him a hundred dollar bill.

The baseball cap lad doesn't accept it and says hesitantly, "You don't have change?"

Wei Wei shakes her head; she had used all of her change to pay for her ride here.

"Could you...ask someone to lend you some?  I don't have change to give back to you."

Borrow from someone.....from the Great Master?  The moment this thought appears, Wei Wei feels defeated.  But an idea quickly springs into her mind; Wei Wei's eyes sparkle as she says to the baseball cap lad excitedly, "How about this, I'll go to your restaurant to pay you."

"Would this be......too much trouble?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Wei Wei answers, feeling that it's a great idea.  She walks into the elevator while pulling her suitcase; she turns around after a few steps.

"Please wait, I'm going to leave a message first."

She walks back into the office with her suitcase again.

The baseball cap lad watches her go back; he opens his mouth wanting to tell her "it's okay to put it on the tab," but he swallows the words down his throat.

When Xiao Nai returns to his office, there is no one there.  But a sticky note is stuck onto his computer screen.

Xiao Nai takes it off.
