Lin Runjie was talking with Director Chen and didn't notice who the server was. It wasn't until he heard her cry out in pain that he instinctively looked over and realized in surprise that the server was Ye Zi.
"Ye Zi? How's your hand?"
His gaze moved down to see Ye Zi's hand, which had been scalded by the soup.
"It's nothing, I'm sorry. I'll bring you a new bowl of soup right away!"
Ye Zi hurriedly put the spilled soup bowl back onto the cart. In her haste, she nearly dropped it on the floor. After placing it securely, she pushed the cart out of the VIP room.
She hadn't expected that simply covering for another server would bring her face-to-face with Lin Runjie. Her hand was red and swollen from the burn, and she needed to treat it quickly.
She gave a bitter smile, wishing she hadn't volunteered to deliver the meal now that it led to such an unexpected encounter.
