Chapter 9: Catastrophe!
Chapter nine
Lin wei was familiar with disasters to be very honest. A disastrous moment was that one time in high school when she was calling her mathematics teacher a-gremlin-with-stick-shoved-up-his ass, while the said teacher was at her back with his mouth agape. That had earned her two weeks of suspension.
Another disastrous moment was when she farted, not a cute little toot but an outrightly loud fart that threatened to tear a hole inside her leggings, while she was on a first date with a potential boyfriend.
But nothing, nothing could top this moment of apparent mortification molded into an overwhelming catastrophe. She fell flat on her face, her nose rimmed into the hard marbled floor. Gasp flew around the room, a few people chuckled.
Heat of embarrassment and shame climbed up her neck and she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.
She scrambled to get up, her face flaming red. She dusted the martini and small chops from her tight skirt and bend down to pick? Pack? The broken glass on the floor.
She regretted her decision over and over again, wondering why she was wearing this tight skirt and the ridiculously high heels. Hell, the sole of shoe her was lodged in the floor, sweat trickled down her armpit. Oh God, she was in for some deep mess.
What if the Esther decided that she was going to remove the damages from her wage?
"What are you going to do about this mess?"A voice spoke flatly from above her.
The voice was oddly familiar, and somehow it sent a shiver of fear down her spine.
She raised her gaze to look at the muscled wall of flesh, broad chest that leads into a tapered waist that eventually gave way to strong thighs. She let her gaze linger on the soft elegant fingers, and the expensive looking watch strapped to it.
