A Good employer

"Mr Li are you there? Did I wake you up?" Sara asked when she noticed he was not saying anything.

A smile spread across his face as he took in a deep breath.

"You should be asleep. Why are you still awake?" He asked softly.

Sara noticed his voice was faint and couldn't help feeling sad for causing him such discomfort. If she had persisted and told him not to follow her. He wouldn't have been facing this.

"I...I'm outside X-hospital. I came to visit Mr Chu and Bilike. I was on my way home then I decided to give you a call. Sorry if I disturbed you. I just wanted to check up on you" She said.

"What? You are still outside by this time?" He looked at his watch. It was close to midnight. "Why did you not wait till tomorrow before paying them a visit? Just wait there. I'll come pick you up right now." He said as he pulled the IV cannula from his hand.

"No...no.. I'm fine. I can take care of myself really. You should be resting." She adamantly reduced his offer. At least, he should receive proper treatment. When he collapsed in her the other day. She had been scared shitless. What if something was had happened to him? That was the only thing she could think of throughout.

Muchen remembered everything Dr Long had asked him to do. He couldn't help sighing as he remained seated on the bed. He had to take care of himself. But he couldn't just let her remain outside by this time even though he was aware she was really capable of taking care of herself. Even if he want there, What was he going to do again? Collapse with a punch again? He couldn't help feeling sad

"Are you taking a Cab?" He asked softly.

"I'm taking the bus" She replied.

"Sara, hold on. Do not move an inch" He said then quickly placed a call to the chauffeur he had designated for her.

"Just wait inside the hospital. Your chauffeur is coming to get you" He said after connecting back to her.

Sara was touched. He was really a good employer. Maybe she shouldn't be so cold to him every time.

She remembered her previous bosses and how they always treated her like she was an insignificant thing. People who were not even on a par with Mr Li. Even Liu Weiyoung who had been her only 'friend' was the most selfish person she had ever met. Jinyong ranked second position. But She needed a friend at least- Even if it was someone pretending to be a one to her. That was why she still accommodated Weiyoung.

Now, this was someone who wasn't related to her, who wasn't her friend, who wasn't even her boyfriend; Treating her like she was so precious. What was his business if she got home safely or not? Why did he have to be this kind to her?

"Are you still there? why aren't you answering?" He asked when he noticed she had been silent for a while

"I... I ..am Sorry Mr Li." She said while sniffling gently.

"I'm sorry for causing you pain. And for thinking you were a bad person all this while. You are really a very very good employer"

Li Muchen had been quietly listening to her speak. He felt quite touched that Sara of all people would apologize to him. But the whole thing died when she mentioned the 'good employer' part.

'Who is a good employer? Me?' He scoffed. She should try to pay a visit to the Li corporation's headquarter to see how he treats his employees. They rarely even see him except on special occasions.

A sly smile appeared on his face as he spoke.

"If you really feel sorry then bring me dinner from your father's restaurant tomorrow."

What did she just hear? Bring him dinner? Like, she has to go pay him a visit alone?

She cleared her throat and asked.

"Can I bring Heya along?"

Muchen knew instantly what she was intending to do. The smile remained on his face when he spoke with all seriousness

"She has to rest after working out tomorrow. And she should not know I'm currently in the hospital"

He was clearly implying that she should come alone.

Sara did not want to argue much. Besides he got hurt because of her in the first place and his voice sounded pretty weak. What's the big deal about sending him dinner? It's not like he asked her to cook for him.

"Alright Mr Li."

Muchen could not stop himself from grinning when he heard her. He was really looking forward to this employer-employee meeting.

"I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow"

"Alright. Have a nice rest Mr Li."

Before he could reply, The call was already cut.

'Sara Wang! You never change.' He thought as he suddenly started laughing for no reason. He did not mind that his stomach was hurting a bit and just kept laughing till Dr Long knocked and went in.

"I was passing by and decided to check up on you. You seem to be in a good mood Mr Li" He said with a smile.

"I sure am Mr Long" Muchen replied with a smile.

"That's good. I even have a better news. I thought you might be sleeping so I decided to wait till tomorrow but I guess I could just let you know now"

Dr Long Said

Muchen nodded to let him continue then Dr Long spoke.

"You'll be ready for discharge by tomorrow afternoon. They are no major problems. You just have to keep taking your medication and before you know it, you'll be good!" He said with a happy smile.
