The Japan project finished finally, Hanson was very satisfied with his team work. Mr. Tokugawa was very thankful to them, he gave Candy and Marvin a little bonus for their hard work. He held press conference and a little party to launch his product. Hanson told Candy to be his partner to go to the party, she agreed to him, but Marvin also asked her to be his partner.
Candy :”Sorry Marvin, I have to accompany boss to the party, he asked me first.”
Marvin:”Well, OK then.”
Candy :”Do you want me to invite Luna ?”
Marvin :”Well, if it suit to her schedule OK with me.”
Candy :”OK I call her now.” She dialed Luna’s number “Hi Luna, do you free this friday night ?”
Luna :”Yeah, why ?”
Candy :”I’ve found you a date ! Just come to my apartment on friday OK ?”
Luna :”Date ? With who ?”
Candy :”You’ll know! Just bring your most beautiful dress OK !”
Luna :”OK , got it girl !”
Candy :”Marv, just pick up Luna at the apartment you dropped me the other day on friday.”
Marvin :”Okay”
One day before the party, Candy went home together with Hanson just like everyday, but he didn’t go home directly that night.
Candy :”Hey, this is not the way to home, where will we go ?”
Hanson :”I want to stop by for a while at the boutique, I want you to dress up gracefully tomorrow cause you’re the star tomorrow !”
Candy :”Oh no sir, I’m not, beside I already have my own dress.”
Hanson :”You must wear the latest fashion design ! Don’t worry I pay you !”
Candy :”No sir, I can pay with my own.”
Hanson :”This time I pay. You may choose whatever suits you.”
Candy :” OK whatever. Do you have suggestions ?”
Hanson :”Miss, show us your latest fashion ?”
The housekeeper showed them some dresses. Candy took some blue dresses, but Hanson took some black dresses.
Hanson :”I think the black one suits you better !” He said that because he wanted to matched her with his black suit.
Candy :”Don’t you think the back is too expose ?”
Hanson :”No, it looks sexy and graceful to me.”
Candy :”Whatever, it’s up to you !”
Hanson :”OK, we take this one Miss.” He gave her his black card.
Candy decided to let her hair down to cover up her back, she just put on a hair pin to make it prettier. Luna came to her house at five o’clock, she brought her sexy red dress with her. Candy helped her to put on some make up, she looked beautiful that night.
Candy :”I was invited to the launching party of my project’s product. Marvin asked me to partner up with him, but my boss had asked me first. I didn’t want to let him down that’s why I recommend you to him.”
Luna :”Oh … it’s about triangle thing.”
Candy :”Shh… don’t say like that ! If my boss heard it, he’ll get misunderstand !”
Luna :”OKOK. I’ll see what will happen next.”
Candy :”Don’t talk too much OK, now you get down, Marvin had waited for you there.”
Luna :”OK, good luck with your boss ! You look sexy enough to seduce him tonight !”
Candy’s eyes got widened she wanted to scolded her that time, but Luna had ran away to the lift. Ten minutes later, Hanson knocked on her door, she opened the door and got ready to go.
Hanson :”Are you ready ?”
Candy :”Yeah I’m ready.”
Hanson grabbed her hand :”OK let’s go now. You look beautiful and sexy today. You dress up by yourself ?”
Candy :”Yeah, I used to have some art shows during my study at univ. I helped my friends got dress up also.”
Hanson :”Wow it’s interesting. What show ?”
Candy :”I did some theatre performance with my friends to make some money, I played with my violin too sometimes.”
Hanson stopped her walk for a while :”Wait. Did you say you play violin ?”
Candy :”Yeah, why ?”
Hanson :”I’ve been curious with a girl playing violin while in usa. You said, you used to be working on Xuang Shi restaurant while in usa right ? Is it you the girl I’ve been looking for all this time ?”
Candy :”I don’t know ? Why do you wanna looking for her ?”
Hanson :”I once saw a girl playing violin very well in there, I was very impressed by her playing that time, but when I looked for her again I couldn’t find, I didn’t know her name also.”
Candy :”I think the one that played violin at that restaurant only me, the other just played guitar. When did you saw me ?”
Hanson :”I think it was around christmas time, the restaurant was very full with people and children.”
Candy :”Ouw, maybe it was the time when we treat the orphanage children at our place.”
Hanson smiled :”I’m glad finally can find you in here.” he hugged her, he was very happy.
Candy surprised by his sudden action, she was just standing still.
Hanson released her after a while :”You played your violin beautifully, it reminded me to play together with you, I used to play violin too, but I played guitar now, maybe we can play together sometime.”
Candy :”Oh I see.”
They arrived at the party place, Hanson offered his hand, Candy held his hand, together they walked side by side just like real couple. They met Marvin and Luna there, Marvin’s eyes always followed her everywhere she go, he was amazed by his graceful look.
Marvin :”Good evening sir. You look gorgeous tonight Candy !”
Candy :”Thank you”
The party had started not long after they arrival, Mr. Tokugawa gave his speech to opened the ceremony. After finishing his speech he came down from the stage, he greeted Hanson, Candy and Marvin.
Mr.Tokugawa :”Thank you Ms. Wu for your hard work all this time, my actress was very satisfied with your work. You look beautiful today, come here I have something for you.” He took a box and opened it, it was a diamond necklace, then he let her wore it. “I think this will suit your dress more.
Candy surprised, she smiled happily :”Ouw Thank you Mr. Tokugawa. It’s beautiful.”
Mr. Tokugawa :”You’re welcome dear !” He turned to Marvin then. “Marvin I want to thank you for your hard work too, here I have something for you.” he shook his hand then he gave him an envelope.
Marvin was surprised and happily took the envelope :”Thank you Mr. Tokugawa, I’ll do my best in the future to satisfied you more !”
They enjoyed the party for a while, Hanson then said to Marvin he would leave with Candy first. Candy just followed him, she told Luna to sleep at her place that night.
Candy :”You knew my pass code right ? My birthday !”
Luna :”Got it !”
Hanson didn’t go home directly after left the party, it turned out he took her to another date to a fancy restaurant to had dinner there.
Candy :”This is not the way to home ?”
Hanson :”Yeah, I want to have some dinner first, I couldn’t eat well at that party.”
Candy :”OK, It’s up to you.”
Hanson took her to enjoyed some steak and wine in there.
Hanson :”Is the steak suits you ?”
Candy :”Yeah, it’s nice.”
Hanson :”The steak here is the closer taste to the american style I’ve ever known.”
Candy :”Well I think you’re right.”
Hanson :”Even the wine taste is good here.”
Candy :”Yeah you’re right !”
Hanson’s eyes stuck on her almost all the time, she felt awkward with it.
Candy :”Is there something wrong with me sir ? Why do you staring at me ?”
Hanson :”No, nothing wrong, I’m just admiring your beauty can I ?”
Candy :”But I’m afraid your look like a knife who want to stab me or eat me anytime.”
Hanson laughed :”I’m just so happy to find you here violin girl ! Have you played violin for long time ?”
Candy :”I learnt piano first, then I learnt violin since ten years old.”
Hanson :”Oh, you can play piano too ?”
Candy :”Only a little. I like violin more, I was inspired by a boy, he used to play violin beautifully.”
Hanson :”Really ?” he grabbed her hand “I can’t wait to play violin together with you !”
Candy pulled back her hand :”We can try it tomorrow then.”
Hanson :”It’s a good idea. Let’s go home now.”
Candy :”Is it OK for you to drive back after drank some wine ?”
Hanson :”I’ll drive slowly. I only drank a little.”
Candy :”OK, I’ll be watching you.”
They arrived at their own apartment safely.
Candy :”Thank you for the dinner sir, see you tomorrow.”
Hanson :”OK, see you tomorrow.”
Candy entered her room, there she met Luna, she got there before her.
Luna :”Where were you ? I thought you left the party earlier than me, how come you just got here now ?”
Candy :”Oh, he asked me to accompany him to had dinner before we go home.”
Luna :”So it’s another private date ?”
Candy :”No, it’s just dinner.”
Luna :”By the way I’ve never seen your dress before ?”
Candy :”He just bought it for me yesterday.”
Luna :”He ? Your boss ?”
Candy :”MMM”
Luna :”Don’t you think he has some feeling for you Can ?”
Candy :”Nooo”
Luna :”So can you explain to me about his special treatment to you ?”
Candy :”There is nothing to explain Lu, there is nothing between us, just don’t make any stupid story in your head !”
Luna :”But tonight I saw Marvin’s eyes never missed from you too at that party, don’t you think it’s really triangle relation ?”
Candy :”Luna, stop it, just go to sleep will you.” Candy’s face got red, she really embarrassed.
Candy thought about Luna’s talk that night, she denied them all, but somewhere deep down in her heart, she questioned them also “Are they really have some feeling to me ? Ah forget it ! I have to focus on my career !”
