Mark Of The Destiny

"We are not actors who have signed a movie or a TV show and need to announce it to everyone."

"Right, but if we do it, it will strengthen your position and attract more funds. People's Group is one of the best companies in Asia."

Suyin's brows shoot up, "You are asking me to take your advantage?"

"I won't mind doing that for my friend."

His words caught her by surprise, and she inhaled sharply.

When do they become friends?

Not like she's complaining, but he could have told her at least.

"All right, I'll see if there's an event coming----"

"There is," he interrupted, confusing her. "This art event is a perfect opportunity. Since we both are invited, let's go together."

"…."

"Art events are boring, aren't these your words?"

"C'mon, I can do this much for you. No big deal," the smile that followed made him look more handsome. God, this man….

Wait!

That's not the point!

Why did he make it sound like he's doing a favor?

"B-But…."

He stepped into the elevator and faced her, smiling. "It's decided, Suyin. Take care."

The door closed.

".... I've promised Jammie," she finally uttered the remaining words, sadly no one listened.

Just as she turned, Chen Wenwei was standing with hands crossed and a mischievous smile tugged at her face.

"WHAT?" Suyin scrunched her lips to hide the faint smile and Wenwei shrugged.

"What was that song by Carly Rae Jaspen.... Ah, 'call me maybe'." Singing, she started swaying her shoulder to the beat…..

[I threw a wish in the well,

Don't ask me, I'll never tell,]

"Keep singing, and surely someone will take you to the hospital," Suyin stormed towards her office and locked the door first.

With her back against the door, she touched her racing heart…

Rocking on her heels, swirling her h.i.p.s, she sang….

[…..I looked at you as it fellAnd now you're in my way

I'd trade my soul for a wish,Pennies and dimes for a kiss…..]

"Muaah… muahh… I love you, God. You are so sweet…. So generous…. Thank you."

God choked on saliva when he saw her throwing flying kisses at him.

'Finally, she's happy by my setting!?'

Sigh….

At Suyin's new apartment at City Spire,

"I'm Mr lonely… I've nobody…"

While she was setting her cupboard, a certain lone bird was seated on the bed, hugging Suyin's favorite penguin plush, murmuring two lines….

"I'm Mr lonely… I've nobody…"

"Shut up Jammie, this is the hundredth time you've said that," she yelled, taking a step back to appreciate her perfectly organized cupboard. "Lift your a.s.s from my bed and put these two boxes on the upper shelf."

"See, you can't do anything without me, yet you betrayed me for your hottie bum." pushing the boxes into the cupboard, he stood with a pout and she pinched his cheeks and air-kissed him.

"Yes, my hottie bum would always come first. Wanna look for another friend?"

"I could, but then you would be alone. I'll just endure it." he set his hand at her shoulder and dragged her to the mirror, "Our couple is the best.….I mean 'friend's' couple."

She stared at their reflection, "You are not angry, right?"

"My cute, Susu…." He rested his head at her shoulder, "…. you know the answer already. But I still think I look better with you, OWW…."

She hit her arm. "You will never change. Now call Evan. Where is he? Isn't he supposed to come for dinner?"

"Later, first I need you to do something,"

Leaving her confused, he went to the living room and came holding a gigantic box. "Try these…"

As she unboxed it, it contained five exquisite gowns, all designed by her mother. Apparently this was the secret transaction between James and Suyin's mother. He grabbed the opportunity to get the secret condiment recipe in exchange of sharing the information that she's invited at the art event.

Knowing how colossal fashion disaster her daughter is, Si Han shipped her five best pieces, including accessories and heels at James' address.

After two hours, Suyin fell down on the bed wearing a beautiful white and black off-shoulder mermaid dress. "I'm can't do this anymore. Why do clothes matter so much?"

"Get up; you're spoiling the dress, silly girl. Don't tell me you were going to wear that uniform of yours." seeing her nod, he threw a fit, "I knew it. You will forever be like this. Now try this one again,"

If he doesn't like the dresses arranged by her mother, he had arranged some too. But there's no way he would let her go looking even 1% bad. Especially when that arrogant Hui Chouming would be there too!

"I'll check," before James could move, she grabbed the opportunity to escape his clutches.

"You wait right there… Don't think I'll let you go easily,"

She sticks her tongue out and unlocked the door, "I'll complain to your hubby that you called us a best couple."

James rushed to cover her mouth before he gets screwed by Evan again…..

However....

"Susu, keep your mouth shut. Evan will—"

Since the door was unlocked already, the person pushed it and saw the two of them….

Suyin's back was facing the door, while James was standing facing her with his hands at her mouth.

'Eeee…. It's Dr. Wang Shi,'

James let go of his hand from Suyin's mouth and took three-step back.

"Haaha…. What now? Scared?" She placed hands at her h.i.p.s, "Let me tell him.... You danced for me two days back when I cried watching a movie. You kissed my forehead last night before going to bed and just now you rested your head on my shoulder and called us the best couple."

James "…."

"Susu, shut up."

"No. Let me say more."

James gulped. For some reason, he doesn't like the expression on Wang Shi's face and prayed for Evan to save him.

How he wished he could tape Suyin's mouth.

"Yeah… tell me more."

"Right… He—"

Suyin "…"

This voice!??????

F*ck

*Gulps*
