Chapter 572: Someone Interesting
When Kyle woke up the next morning, he found himself in a familiar room of a woman. He hit his head and mumbled, "I can't believe I made a mess again last night."
He quickly got up to look for Sarah but found that she was already gone which he confirmed after reading her text message.
[I have to go to work. I made hangover soup and breakfast for you. Just heat it up and eat it if you woke up late. There's also medicine on the table.]
He smiled and walked towards Sarah's kitchen to heat up the food which was cold. He remembered everything that happened and he could not help but grin bashfully. After reheating the food and eating heartily, he immediately left Sarah's place to go back to his place.
He also called Sarah once he was back home but she did not receive it so he just left a message to her.
[Thank you for taking care of me last night. Sorry that I bothered you again. I promise I will make it up to you. See you later!]
"No!" Sarah gasped. She did not want to see him anymore. She was somehow really scared of Kyle and the unexplainable feelings she was having because of him. She did not want to fall for the wrong man again. That was what she kept reminding herself. Unrequited love was the worst feeling ever and she would not want to experience it once again.
She had to keep her distance from Kyle before it was too late. She did not bother to reply and instead focussed on her work.
She was startled when Luo suddenly entered.
"You've been working hard all this time Sarah. Your secretary is back from her leave so I will introduce her to you," Luo said with a smile and introduced to her the woman beside her.
'Finally,' Sarah uttered in silence. She was very relieved to get some help after working her ass off alone for weeks.
"Thank you, Ma'am," she politely said with a smile.
"I'm sorry if it took too long. I am also planning to give you your own team and also a paralegal as your assistant to help you out since you will be handling major clients and cases," Luo added. She believed she had taught Sarah her lesson and made her reflect on what she did to her sister.
She was silently observing Sarah and concluded that Liam was indeed right in saying that she was definitely a key person, a very good asset for their firm.
"Thank you so much, Ma'am" Sarah replied in excitement. She could not wait to take on more challenging cases because she almost grew roots on her butt while sitting on her chair the whole day. Doing all those boring paperwork sucked so much that she almost thought of quitting this job.
"Well, you deserve it. You're working really hard these past few days and I like your dedication. I hope you accomplish more under our firm. Just one thing Sarah," Luo said.
"Yes, Ma'am?" Sarah asked, suddenly feeling nervous seeing the serious expression of Luo.
"I hope you will be extra careful while handling the cases and talking to the people involved in those cases. I understand that it's your nature to be a straightforward person and I'm not saying it's wrong.
It can be an advantage as long as you know how to make use of it. Make sure that every word you say is legit and not on baseless grounds. You can be straightforward and candid if you can back up what you're saying with proofs and evidence."
Sarah bent her head a bit down because she could feel that Luo was hinting about the incident that occurred between her and Lana.
"I understand Ma'am and I assure you that I will be more careful in the future. I will make sure to speak only the truth and with proof," she guaranteed.
She felt Luo's hand on her shoulders and heard her say, "That's good then. I will look forward to it and I wish you good luck with your future cases. Get ready because starting tomorrow, you will be in action."
Sarah smiled and nodded. As soon as Luo left, she could not help but giggle alone on her chair.
'Finally!' she inwardly cheered.
*Ring *Ring
She ignored it at first but her phone kept on ringing. Upon seeing the caller ID, Sarah had mixed emotions.
There was a debate inside her, one was telling her to answer the call and the other was telling her not to.
"I must not talk to him! Keep your distance Sarah or you'll end up heartbroken again!" she firmly told herself and decisively turned off her mobile phone.
*Beep *Beep *beep
Kyle creased his forehead hearing that tone so he dialed Sarah's number again but this time it was no longer ringing.
"She's probably too busy to answer," Kyle told himself and put his mobile phone on the center table of his living room. He grabbed the remote and switched on the TV. Almost all the news channels were covering the victory of Troy Chan in the elections.
He heaved a deep sigh, as his thoughts wandered to his father. His father must be feeling more depressed these past few days because of the news. He decided to pay a visit tomorrow and wondered what he should bring.
'Maybe I should buy him more books to read,' he pondered. He grabbed his mobile phone and searched for books that could help his father and give him some enlightenment.
"The Purpose Driven Life…" he muttered the title of one of the books he spotted that seemed to be a good read for his father.
His mobile phone rang and he quickly answered it.
"Hello, Kyle. I'm glad you considered working for our firm. Are you free today? Can we grab lunch and discuss things further?" the man on the other line asked with a satisfied tone.
"Alright, I'm available to meet today," he replied to the person on the other line. He immediately stood up to get dressed and meet Noah Yu of Yao Law Firm.
After careful thought, he finally decided to give his answer to the many firms trying to poach him. He chose a firm where he knew someone. Someone interesting whom he wanted to know more as time passed by. It was Sarah Jung who was currently working at Yao Law Firm as well.
He was unsure about how things would turn out in the future but at this point, he wanted to be by Sarah's side. Something inside of him was pulling him towards her.
