''Be careful'' Thomas suddenly pulled her closer to himself when he saw a bicycle riding closely behind her.

Niania who wasn't prepared at all, crashed into his chest again and his arm draped down to her tiny waist. Niania froze when she felt the hotness from his hand that was on her waist. She quickly stepped to the side.

Thomas looked at the hand that touched and held her tiny waist for a second and rubbed his fingers against each other lightly. He suddenly had a playful smile on his face.

This was a rare scene. Having had a few encounters with him before the accident, this was the first time Niania was seeing Thomas smile. She was tempted to call him a beautiful man but quickly shook her head.

What was she thinking? She thought before speaking, ''thank you for saving me. If there is nothing else I will take my leave now''

''Wait!'' Thomas said and Niania stopped at once. She turned back and looked at him with a flushed face.

''I saved you two times in a row tonight. I don't do things for free, especially for women'' Thomas said to her.

''Women? Does he think of me as a woman?' Niania thought out loud and he heard her.

''If you are not a woman, then, what are you?'' Thomas asked back and Niania chuckled awkwardly.

Turned out it was her wishful thinking.

''I don't have anything to offer you. You saved me two times but you are a powerful person and can afford anything that you want. What could you possibly want from me?'' Niania asked innocently.

…

''Niania makes the best kimchi stew and when she prepares stirred fried rice with all the side dishes, damn, it's always heavenly'' Alice's delightful face suddenly flashed in Thomas mind.

…

Thomas looked at Niania and said to her, ''make me kimchi stew and stirred fried rice with a lot of side dishes''

''Huh?'' Niania looked at him in shock.

''I think I was audible enough for you to hear me correctly. Why do you look so surprised? That's why you should know who to prepare meals for. You could be sold out easily''

Niania looked at him with an even more confused expression. She wasn't sure of what he was saying. To be precise, she felt that he was speaking in a language she couldn't comprehend.

''Mr. Sun, did you just ask me to prepare food for you?'' Niania asked.

''Why? You don't want to?'' Thomas cocked his brows and kept his hands inside his side pockets lazily.

''No!''

''Good''

''Mr. Sun, I am not exactly a good cook. I can't compare to all the big restaurants or the renowned chef in your mansion. I am afraid you will be disappointed by my culinary skills''

''Would you treat me to a meal instead?'' his lifted a single brow at her.

''No'' Niania shook her head, ''I think that a meal will be more appropriate. It will convey my sincerity even more'' she added and Thomas nodded in agreement.

''You are smarter than you look''

''Then, Mr. Sun. When do you want this meal? Should I send it over to your company or bring it to your house?'' Niania flushed and shook her head, ''I don't mean anything, I just mean that I could leave it with your assistant so that he will bring it to you''

''Where do you stay?''

''Huh?'' Niania turned towards her only dark window in the two storey building apartments just three houses away from where they were.

''Mr. Sun, I stay at the first floor in that building. I am actually closer to home''

''It's on the way. I can pass by and eat before going home''

''Huh?'' Niania felt that her ears were playing with her. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. When did this kind of development come to be?

''Do you always look lost when a man is talking to you?''

''No! this is happening because it's you''

Thomas smirked, ''I have a meeting tomorrow night so let's make it the night after. I will call you''

''But you don't have my number?'' Niania said and flushed, feeling embarrassed.

''I know where to get your number. It's getting late, go inside''

''Then, good night, Mr. Sun'' Niania said and turned, she ran off hurriedly towards her apartment.

After waiting to see the light in the room turned on, Thomas smiled and turned back, going back to his house.

When he heard Niania was going home by foot, he decided to walk silently behind her until she reached her apartment. He didn't want to alarm her hence he kept a reasonable distance until she tripped and was about to fall, that he had to make his presence known.

….

Niania walked out of the bathroom and started cleaning her face. She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly smiled, mumbling, ''Niania, you are not so bad to look at. Your face, is acceptable''

Her cheeks reddened when she remembered what happened earlier on. she touched her waist and tried to reminisce on the incident.

''Niania, have you gone crazy? What is wrong with you? No, what are you doing? How could you be having such lewd thoughts? Listen to me, you need to get your act together''

Niania shook her head and threw the towel away before jumping into her bed.

….

Thomas lifted the glass of water to drink and looked at his hand and smiled. ''Why is her waist so tiny?'' he chuckled. ''Why does she have to look so cute when she is confused?'' he murmured again before turning away with the water towards his room.

…

'Aaaah'' Laura screamed as she pushed the things in the table down. William who was sitting at the side watched her carefully.

''I told you, that woman was sly but you didn't believe me. Now, you see what I'm talking about?'' Laura turned to ask William.

''Laura, calm down''

''Calm down? William, I can't calm down. that woman just made Mikael choose between her and me. and guess what? He did, he chose her. I was with him for close to ten years of our lives. Together, we entered this industry and worked together. I was the closest person to him. I made sure no actress got interested in him but look at this now? I did all that work just for that woman who can't even remember her past take him away?''

''Laura, you are crossing the line''

''No, do you feel offended because I am talking about the woman you love? William, this woman is using you and you don't even realise it because of your love for her. This is it, William. I am not going to sit back and watch her steal what's mine''

Laura was totally enraged and frustrated. She had never expected such a question from Natalie and even more, such a reply from Mikael. She thought that he would always let her off but now she just realised that she was really losing him.

Pouring the wine on the table into her glass, she sipped and a cunning smile appeared on her face.

''What are you planning to do?'' William asked and sipped his wine.

''William, I just made up my mine. Mikael is mine in this life. I am going to take him back and I don't care whatever means I use. What do you say? Will you join me in separating those two?''

''But, our plan during the launching backfired. Do you have any other suggestions?''

''The current drama we are filming. We will have the first episode private screening soon. I am going to make Mikael mine that night''

'What do you mean?''

''I realised that acting like a saint won't make him notice me. I am going to make him mine that night and I know who can help me get it''

''Who?''

''Mimi Song''

''Mimi Song?'' William's interest perked up.

''Yes. Even though she didn't succeed with Natalie during the launching night, I won't be like her. I am going to succeed''

''What are you talking about? Laura, do you even know who Mimi Song is? That woman is crazy and more dangerous than you think she is''

''I don't care. If going to her would make Mikael mine, then so be it''

''You look so unrecognizable right now, Laura. Listen, I don't care what you do to Mikael but don't harm Natalie or I won't sit back'' William said and stood up. Laura watched him leave and bang the door. She smiled and lifted the glass up to her lips. She smirked and sipped.

….

Mimi walked out of the bathroom to the bedroom. She picked the phone that continued to ring and rolled her eyes when she saw the caller ID.

''Director An, why are you calling me this late?''

''Mimi, it's like this. The script reading is scheduled for tomorrow but I need you to meet me earlier before that''

''What do you want to talk about?'' Mimi sat down on the bed.

''I missed you. Since that night, I've been thinking about you a lot''

''Director An, you are crossing the line and let me remind you who my father is. What happened between us was a mistake, which will never happen again'' Mimi ended the call and threw the phone away. She picked the pillow and screamed into it.
