It was surprise that I wasn't crying after being rejected by my parents. There was no sympathy whatsoever just dismissal of all the years that I sent studying the course that they wanted me to study, it doesn't matter that I ended up liking it, what mattered was how I was still rejected by them after everything. I could feel my eyes stinging and I knew it was time to get out of here, I couldn't cry in here. I stood up, grabbed my certificate and was ready to leave the room but someone's voice reminded me that Jim was still in the office. He looked at me like I had suddenly grown two horns. "What?" i asked. "You're the Lin heir?" he asked me. "Maybe," i replied. I was going to say no, but there was no need to give this man that my parents seems to love more reason to be happy about being their favorite person. "Maybe?" he asked. "I meant yes, I just don't like to flaunt that my parents are the best lawyers in the country," I said doing the exact opposite of what I said I didn't do
It was four pm when I got home, I washed the strawberry and put the icecream in the fridge but now I had nothing to do and I didn't want to think about Jim or how my father rejected me. I pulled out my phone to call Agnes but I realized i never got her number. I took off my blazer, put it on the coat hanger in the room, grabbed my phone and purse and left the apartment. I went to the house she pointed and knocked on the door. I stood there awkwardly waiting and wondering if I was intruding. I have never had friends of go over to people's house. I had only been to business events with my family and to visit my relations with my mom and dad, so standing here i had no idea what to do. I didn't know if I was to knock again, ring the doorbell after knocking or go back home. I stood for a minute and opted for the door bell, I waited a while and was about to bolt when I heard noises approaching the front door. This probably a bad time, i should run, but they are already coming to get the do
I fell asleep after the second movie and only opened my eyes when everyone started groaning and saying they wanted to go to bed. I just knew the chairs were going to be perfect for movie marathons. "I think i'll go home now," I said to Agnes. "Why don't you sleepover?" she asked with a pout. "Told my husband that'll be back before he wakes up," I lied. "Aww, let me see you off to your door," she offered. "You door is perfect, I live next door, I don't want to take you away from everyone," I said to her. she walked me the door after everyone insisted on a hug. June also got my number and promised me girl chat over tea. Agnes stopped at the door, hugged me, tried to persuade me to let her walk me to the door but I was good. I told her goodnight and walked to my door. All the hairs on my head stood still waiting for any sign of danger or creepy thing to attack me, I knew there was nothing but this is what binging on horror movies can cause. I got to my door and was about to open it
I didn't want the day to end but sadly, it had too. We were in the same position all morning and my legs were starting to hurt and my stomach was stating how hungry it was becoming. "I'm tired," Min said. "I'm hungry, I think I spoke my meal away," i groaned. "My delicious cooking," Min teased. "Your delicious cooking," i complimented. "I knew you were obsessed with my cooking," he said. "No i am not, I just got to taste it," I argued. "I am sure our maids would cook better," i added and hid my face behind my palm when my stomach grumbled loudly. "Your stomach says otherwise," he said and laughed. I ignored hm and marched to the kitchen. I decided to eat the leftovers and worry about dinner when it was time to worry about dinner, now I needed to calm my raging stomach. I placed rice and all the side dishes in one big microwavable bowl and microwaved it together. The microwave dinged and I pulled it out. I set it on the counter and sat on the bar stool. "Eating without me," Min
After I left the firm, I sent a text to Mom asking her to meet up, I thought she would refuse but she replied immediately and we met at a cafe. "On a sugar high today," I told her as I bit into the donut. "It's yummy," I said trying to convince her to eat something unhealthy. "No, coffee is enough unhealthy food for today," she said and sipped quietly, she watched me quietly and didn't urge me to talk. I thought she would, it was almost impossible to get my mom without her other half, my dad. "Aren't you going to ask why we're here?" I asked her. "It doesn't matter, I get to see my daughter outside all the hard love and arguing," she said with a smile. I missed my mom but I wasn't going to tell her that. I was going to continue with the hard love and family feud. Then why are you here I had caught on to someone trying to hurt their firm and I wasn't going to let that happen, they were already losing one child, and they weren't going to lose another. So there's a big feud. I sh
I and Agnes had gotten closer and it felt great to have a friend, she was such a great mom and wife. I still haven't met her kids up close but she talks about the with so much love, I wonder if mom and dad talk about me like this or just prefer to boss me and around and lock me up. Here I was talking to my friend and zoning into my thoughts, thinking I was rapunzel and I had let my hair down and welcomed Min, only I don't think he'll ever love me like Fin loved Rapunzel. I reminded myself to step out of my head and focus on the conversation that was happening between Agnes and June. We were in a cafe drinking coffee and just catching up. The cafe was homey and their coffee was great but I could make better coffee in my sleep. "Mei are you listening?" June asked and I nodded. She looked at me like she could tell I was lying but didn't comment on it. I really loved the feeling of freedom, I was making friends and having the best time of my life. "The coffee isn't that bad,"I heard Ag
Min made picking an outfit really hard, he just had to tell me if he thought was I was wearing was beautiful or not but he couldn't answer, he kept saying everything was okay. "Just pick one Min," I groaned. "I am running late Mei, they are all perfect," he said. "Min," i groaned. I complained an tried three more outfits before he decided he like one better. "I like the white skirt and the black top," he asked finally. "Was that hard?" I asked him and went ahead to wear an army green top over the skirt. "Why did you need my help?" he asked me. "Wanted to know if you had a good sense of fashion but it's just basic," I accused him. I grabbed a bottle of water, went downstairs met Mr. Jiang and h drove me to the cafe. it was the same cafe I was in last week but this time I was here as an employee, it was not exactly something I expected but it was fun. My first day involved me trying to learn how to use the bigger coffee making machine. It was fun and by the next day I was making c
There was probably a little alcohol in the meal I ate or as it the caffeine from earlier? I couldn't decipher where I got the courage to ask Min the question I asked him. He seemed to have not heard and if I kept quiet he was going to remember the question and I couldn't let that happen. "Do you want peas?" i asked."Peas?" he asked. "Yeah, chick peas, do you want that?" i asked. "Nope. I am pretty full and just want to sleep," he said. "We should probably sleep, it's been a hectic day but i don't think I can sleep," I tell him. "Why?" he asked me. "i might have drank way too much coffee," I answered. "Why?" He asked. "I had to taste everyone's coffee and made sure it tasted like it was made by me and that took a while," I explained. "Let's start with you soaking in a cold bath, it'll increase your body temperature and we can work from there," he said pushing me towards the bathroom. "But it's been a hectic day and i just want a warm bath," I lamented. "I'll make you warm,"
