Tan Ja Nin gaze followed Lee Jin Ho and saw that he seated on the next table to their left. Why was she didn't notice him earlier? Was it because she came earlier than him?
"Lee Jin Ho and I met in the Math Festival that you've also joined in when you were in Grade 10. He was one of my favorite before and wanted to mentor him because of our common interest in numbers. From then on, we do spoke with each other a lot especially if he wanted to ask my help in solving Math problems, but after I graduated in Yan High School, we've lost touch. I was really glad I saw him today!" Said Bo Yu who was still enthusiastic with the turn of events.
Tan Ja Nin doesn't have any words to say so she just smiled at Bo Yu.
"So you were classmate back then?"
"Uhm" she said plainly.
"I was wondering if he courted you when you were in gradeschool?"
Tan Ja Nin was quite astounded and she knew that her face blushed.
"Nope. He liked someone else when we were in gradeschool." She said as a matter of factly.
"Good! At least I can put my heart to rest now knowing that he will not going to be my rival."
"..." Tan Ja Nin was lost for words. She did not expect Bo Yu to be that blunt with his intention.
"I wanted to be honest with you. I liked you since the first time I saw you at the Math Festival, but you were aloof back then so I thought I wouldn't have any chance if will pursue you that time. I graduated in Yan High School but I always followed the stories about you from Ho Min Lin. I was really glad when she said that you've agreed to entertain suitors now, so I am not going to slip this opportunity to court you now that I have a chance."
Tan Ja Nin nodded. "Bo Yu, I am entertaining suitors now but I'm not in a rush to be in a relationship as of this moment. To be honest, I am still nursing a broken heart and it would be best if we will get to know each other for now. Let me heal first! Who knows when the time comes that I have finally move on and no more emotional baggages from the past, I will consider you. I don't want to close my door for you, and for any possibility that it might be you in the future but for now, can we treat each other as friends first. I am just a newbie in the entertainment industry and I wanted to focus my time and energy into it and put my showbiz career at the top of my priority."
Bo Yu listened to her every words and understood her. He was rejected by Tan Ja Nin but at least she was still kind with her rejection.
"Understood. I also wanted to keep it slow for the two us. The more important for me now is that I am no longer a mere stranger to you." Said Bo Yu. He was really glad for this opportunity to know her.
Tan Ja Nin gave her a smile.
"But can we still go out every once in a while.. I mean as friends?" Bo Yu shyly asked, he doesn't want to give up on Tan Ja Nin just like that
"If I have time, why not?"
"I promise I won't pressure you."
Tan Ja Nin let out a soft laugh.
Bo Yu joined her and laughed too.
....
Lee Min Ho was trying to listen to the two people's conversationn on the next table but he couldn't hear anything from where he was seated, but he could see from his peripheral view that the two of them were enjoying each other's company.
He let out a deep sigh and it took at the attention of the woman in front of him.
"Jin Ho, are you okay? You were spacing out since I came back from the washroom" said the woman and she was sounding annoyed.
"Apologies, I suddenly thought of the issue we had at the company right now." He said apologetically by telling a white lie.
"I see. Don't you think it would be best if you address the company issue for now and then let's just reschedule our dinner again some other time." The woman suggested. She somewhat understood him.
Lee Jin Ho looked at her with the sorry expression on his face. He felt bad for her. He called her earlier and asked her for a dinner date tonight and she agreed. The woman in front of her was the heiress and the CFO of the Ming Lu Corporation. She was a family friend, and he was aware that she likes him for such a long time and have thought that he could also like her back now that he was willing to start over again.
"I'm sorry Ming Soo, but you are right, I'll address our company issue now but let me send you home.
"No need, you can take your leave first. I will call my driver to pick me up."
"No, I'll send you home!"
"Okay, then let's take our leave now."
Lee Jin Ho nodded and supported her as she stood up. They left the place quietly but Tan Ja Nin was still able to see them as they leave.
.....
After Lee Jin Ho sent Ming Soo to her residence, he went directly to Tan Ja Nin's place. He parked his car near her apartment and waited for her to come back home.
It past 11 in the evening and she still wasn't home yet.
He took another cigarette stick and puffed it. It was his fifth. He wasn't a chainsmoker but he cannot control himself especially if he felt tense all over his body.
The thought of Tan Ja Nin still out with Bo Yu gave him too much stress.
He can't feel at ease knowing that she was still out with another guy.
Few minutes later he saw a red bentley car parked in front of her apartment.
He straigthened his back and watched the man who alighted from the car.
It was Bo Yu.
Bo Yu opened the car door for the woman who alighted from the passenger seat.
It was Ja Nin.
Lee Jin Ho held his breath as he watched them talked to each other more even after they have alighted from the car.
He took a deep breath when Bo Yu leaned forward to Tan Ja Nin and was about to give her a kiss on the cheek.
He suddenly pressed the horn to catch their attention.
The kiss did not go through.
Both of them turned their gaze to the direction of his car.
He thumped his fingers in the steering wheel hoping that Tan Ja Nin will not recognize his car.
Is she does, he will be doomed.
.....
Tan Ja Nin furrowed her brows when she saw the black bentley car as it looks so familiar. She just didn't know where she saw it.
A scene earlier when Lee Jin Ho picked her up at the mansion flashed her mind.
That car!
It looks like the car of Lee Jin Ho.
Could it be that the owner of that car was Lee Jin Ho?
Impossible. Why would Lee Jin Ho be at her place during late at night?
She saw him when he left at Ming's Garden with his date.
Pretty sure he was enjoying his time now with that woman on his bed.
Having that thought made her heart ached instantly.
He cannot bring any other woman into his bed.
He can only bring her to that bed because it was only belong to her.
Bo Yu saw the sudden change on her expression.
"Don't mind the driver of that car maybe he was just waiting for someone to come out from the apartment in front and he just lost his patience and was unaware that it was already too late to make a beep and most of the neighborhood are already sleeping. Go inside now! It's kinda late in the evening already, get some rest and I will take my leave." said Bo Yu.
"Okay then, I'll go inside now!" said Tan Ja Nin.
Bo Yu nodded and he did not attempt to kiss her this time. He just waited for her to come inside her apartment. Before he left, he took a second look to the car and cursed the owner.
.....
Lee Jin Ho took a sigh of relief when he saw that Bo Yu left without kissing Tan Ja Nin on the cheeks.
He cannot let any other guy kiss Tan Ja Nin even if it just on the cheeks.
No one can ever kissed her other than himself.
Her kiss belong to him and to him alone.
He was astounded by that thought.
Why was he being so possesive to Tan Ja Nin?
They don't have any relationship but he was acting like this woman was belong to him.
Was he crazy?
