Crashing Into You

He looked at Tan Ja Nin while she was signing the contract and noticed that this lady was beautiful. But there were so many beautiful women like Tan Ja Nin who hanging around with his boss. What was so especial about her? 

Ahh, this woman was the twin sister of his boss" friend. That must be the reason. His boss doesn"t have any choice but to get her maybe because he doesn"t want to have a bad blood with his friend. Because if his boss didn"t loathe this woman, he must be present during the contract signing. 

Tan Ja Nin smiled at at PA Jin after she had finished signing the 27 pages contract. Atty Lim reviewed and smiled when everything is in order. 

"Our contracted advertising company will just reach you tomorrow to discuss the storyboard with you. Shooting may be start within the week" PA Jin said. 

Tan Ja Nin nodded. "Thank you and.." she made a pregnant pause. 

PA Jin was waiting for her next words but nothing came out of her mouth again.

"So that"s all about it if you don"t have any other questions so the meeting is now adjourned" PA Jin said as he looked at Tan Ja Nin and Manager Mo. 

"We"re good!" Manager Mo answered. 

PA Jin nodded and and looked at Atty. Lim. They both stood up. "Thank you for your time today"

Tan Ja Nin and Manager Mo stood up too. They went outside the conference room.

"I"ll see you off to the elevator area" PA Jin said. 

"No need!" Tan Ja Nin said. 

PA Jin looked at her and nodded. He strode off to the secretariat office. The two ladies went to the exit door and waited for the elevator. 

"Manager Mo, I have some other things to do so you don"t have to send me off to my apartment." Tan Ja Nin said when they were already inside the elevator. 

"Okay!" Manager Mo said and did not ask for any details as she a.s.sumed that it may be Tan Ja Nin"s personal errand. 

They separated their ways when they exited the building. 

.....

Tan Ja Nin went to the nearest park when she used to meet Lee Jin Ho whenever she brings his lunch boxes. She sat on their usual spot. She took phone and sent Lee Jin Ho a message. 

TAN JA NIN: I"m here at the park. Let"s talk. 

Lee Jin Ho was in her private office when he received her message. He ignored it. 

Tan Ja Nin sent another message when she did not receive a reply from Lee Jin Ho. 

TAN JA NIN: I"ll come to your office if you did not see. Come down now. 

Lee Jin Ho scoffed when he read her message. Did she ordering him around? 

What right that this woman holds to order him around? 

He did not reply to her message and did not come down to see her too. 

Tan Ja Nin was at the verge of losing her patience so she called him. 

Lee Jin Ho frowned when he saw that his phone was blinking and Tan Ja Nin was calling her. 

He rejected her call. 

Tan Ja Nin was so p.i.s.sed. This man was testing her patience. She stood up and was about to go back to Shuns.h.i.+nati when she realized that she still have his bachelor"s pad key. If she will go back to his office, he might deny her entry to his office given that she doesn"t an appointment with him. So she decided to go to his bachelor"s pad and wait for him there instead. She took a cab and went directly to his home. 

Meanwhile, Lee Jin Ho was looking at his phone and was wondering why Tan Ja Nin did not call him again. 

He scoffed. Didn"t she say that she will come to his office if he did not come down? But where was she? 

He called PA Jin extension. 

"Do you have receieve any call from the receptionist that someone wants to see me?" He asked.

"I haven"t received any call. Why? Are you expecting someone today? As per your calendar, Ms. Tan should be the last guest for today"

Lee Jin Ho did not reply and immediately hang up the phone because he was furious. 

That woman. Always saying something that she didn"t mean to. He scooped his things and left his office. 

....

Tan Ja Nin took off her shoes and went directly to Lee Jin Ho"s bedroom when she arrived at Lee Jin Ho"s place. It was almost 5 in the afternoon. The contract signing only took about 15 minutes to finish and she just waited for another 30 minutes for Lee Jin Ho at the park. Given that it was summer time, the weather was humid and she felt like she really needs a take a bath. She looked at Lee Jin Ho"s closet and took a t-s.h.i.+rt that she could wear. She walked to the shower room afterwards and took her time to take a shower. 

Lee Jin Ho called Lu Jiaosheng when he reached inside his car. 

"Can we have two bottles today?"

"At 4 oclock in the afternoon?!" Lu Jiaosheng asked. 

"Are you free of not?" Lee Jin Ho said in a furious voice. 

"I"m not!" Lu Jiaosheng answered. 

Lee Jin Ho hang up the phone and called Tan Ji Nan. He was also not available to meet him. He browsed at his phonebook and saw Yan Mor Tee name? He stared at his name and was contemplating wether he would ask him for two bottles or not The last time that he invited him for a drink was when he got the news of his union with Song Dei Si. 

He pressed the call b.u.t.ton. 

"h.e.l.lo?!" Yan Mor Tee answered the phone after 5 rings. 

"Mor Tee are you for a drink today?" He asked

It took a minute for Yan Mor Tee before he replied. "What time are we going to meet?" He said. 

"Let"s meet now. At the Privé Club!" 

"Okay!" Yan Mor Tee hang up the phone and was wondering why would Lee Jin Ho wanted a drink session at 4 oclock in the afternoon? Was he going to discuss something about Song Dei Si again? He took out his coat on the cloakroom and leave his office. 

.....

Lee Jin Ho was already at the Privé Club when Yan Mor Tee arrived. He saw him already drinking his first bottle at the barside. He tapped him on his shoulder.

Lee Jin Ho turned around and saw Yan Mor Tee. He nodded at him. 

Yan Mor Tee sat to the next bar stool beside Lee Jin Ho. The bartender gave him a winegla.s.s and pour him some wine. 

"What"s up?" Yan Mor Tee asked. 

"Nothing much. I just wanted to have a drink today." 

"At 4 oclock in the afternoon? It is still working hours" Yan Mor Tee said

"I"ve been dealing a lot of stress lately." Lee Jin Ho answered and took a sip. 

"Who doesn"t have stress?" Yan Mor Tee said 

"At least your happy with Song Dei Si now..." Lee Jin Jo snorted

"Right, so don"t try ruining that happiness" Yan Mor Tee warned him. 

Lee Jin Ho hissed "Song Dei Si"s happiness is my happiness too. I can see that she"s happy with you now so how can I ruin that?" 

Yan Mor Tee nodded. "Good!" 

Lee Jin Ho drank the remaining wine on his gla.s.s in one gulp and pour another gla.s.s. 

"How did you end up with Song Dei Si? Why the sudden marriage? How did you do it when you were not into a relations.h.i.+p before?" 

Yan Mor Tee was stunned with Lee Jin Ho"s questions and he doesn"t know how to answer them. He could not tell him that Song Dei Si wanted a sperm donor and he schemed her to marry him. 

"You know that we haven"t stopped loving each other since the beginning" Yan Mor Tee said instead. 

Lee Jin Ho nodded. He looked at Yan Mor Tee with troubled expression. He doesn"t know how to tell him about his problem on how to make Tan Ja Nin live with him. 

"Who stressed you out?" Yan Mor Tee asked. 

"Huh?" 

"You looked troubled!" 

"Work!" Lee Jin Ho suddenly said. 

"Uhm" Yan Mor Tee nodded "It is really hard to run a company like we are doing right now at such an early age. I took over Yan Enterprise for about two years but how about you, you only took over the President position of your business empire for four months now. It may been really hard on you."

Lee Jin Ho nodded because what he said was practically true. But the good thing was he still has his father as a Chairman of their company so the biggest decision was still on his plate. 

What stresses him most was Tan Ja Nin.
