Jian saw Natalie wandered around the house. She looked like she's looking for something.
Jian leaned in the door's frame, he put his arms across his chest and silently observed Natalie.
Natalie opened the cabinets and take look inside, but it was not there!
She's been in the living room and the kitchen but she still can't find it.
She already checked the bottom of the sofa, but she still find nothing!
"I just put it here." Natalie mumbled and scratched her head.
"You're looking for something?"
Natalie turned on Jian's direction when she heard him asked.
"Uh! I am looking for the chocolates that Mr. Zhou sent to me." Natalie paused for a moment before she continued. "Have you seen it? I remember I just put it here."
"Uhmm... Nope! I just got back from throwing the garbage." Jian replied casually.
He straightened his body and walked towards the living room.
Natalie's shoulders dropped.
"Oh! It was my favorite brand of chocolate!" she sadly said.
Jian sitted in the sofa with his legs crossed and speak, "Don't worry we can buy another one!"
But Natalie don't want to give up!
"Do you have mouse in this house?" Natalie asked.
"Why did you asked?" Jian asked back.
"The mouse might have taken my chocolate!"
"..."
Jian was speechless.
So I suddenly become a mouse now!?
He thought.
"You might have stuffed it with the flowers into the plastic bag." Jian said.
"Did I?"
Natalie scratched her head again and pursed her lips.
I'm sure, I didn't!
Why would I throw it away? It's my favorite brand of chocolate!
I would never waste just a delicious chocolate!
She thought.
"I'll buy you as many as you want. Just stop racking your brain where to find it."
Because you can't find it anymore!
Jian secretly added.
-----
Today is the script reading and Jian went to the Star Makers Production Building.
Jian get inside the elevator and waited for it to close but someone suddenly prevented it from closing.
Jian looked at the familiar woman.
She is tall with a fair skin. She liked red lipsticks , she has a thick eyebrows, button shaped nose, thin lips and a foxy eyes. Her hair is long and artificially brown, she looked fierce and beautiful.
She is Victoria Zhao!
His ex girlfriend who dumped him for an old wealthy man.
"Hi!... Jian!" The woman greeted her with a smile in her face.
Jian nodded his head as a reply.
The elevator slowly closed.
"So, how have you been?" Victoria asked.
"Better!" Jian replied shortly as if he don't like to talk to her.
" Uh..." Victoria notice Jian's coldness towards her, so she did not talk anymore until they arrived at the conference room where all of the characters of the TV series 'the bad prince' are going to meet up.
Stephen is already at the place.
When he saw Jian, he quickly approached him excitedly.
"Bro! Did she liked it?!" He asked with his twinkling eyes.
Jian knitted his brows, "Liked, what?" He asked with a confused rexpression.
"Those flowers and chocolates! " Stephen replied.
"Flowers and chocolates?" Jian knitted his brows.
"I send a chocolate and flowers for her!"
"You did?!" Jian asked innocently and acted as if he didn't know anything!
"Yes , I do! Have you not seen it?" Stephen asked.
"When did you sent her those flowers?" Jian asked again.
"I ordered the flower shop to send her flowers the day after I came to your house." Stephen replied.
Jian pretended to think, he rubbed his chin and looked up as if he's thinking of something.
After a while he flicked his finger as if he already remember something.
"Yeah! I remember!" He exclaimed
.
Stephen got excited again!
"Really?! "
"So, what did she say?!" He asked excitedly.
"Hhmmm..." Jian looked like he is having a second thought.
"I think... I think I saw it in the garbage bin!" Jian replied with a grin.
Stephen's shoulders instantly dropped!
"Garbage bin?!" He mumbled.
Jian nodded his head a few times.
He is enjoying Stephen's reaction!
He was used to being chased by every woman and now he was rejected by a young girl!
Jian secretly smirked inside.
You're my friend, but I won't let you have Nana!
She's too young and you might ruin her life!
I am just trying to protect her!
Jian secretly said inside.
"Eh, Bro! Do you think, she wants me to work hard on pursuing her?" Stephen asked.
"..."
Jian was speechless.
When did his friend's IQ become so slow?
Didn't he get the message?
She throw the flowers and the chocolates that he sent to her, that means she's rejecting him!
Jian thought.
" Uh,, you should stop sending her those stuffs !" Jian said.
"Why?"
"Because, Nana don't like flowers!" Jian replied.
"Really?!" Stephen knitted his brows." But, every woman loved to receive flowers!"
"That's my point!" Jian finally find a reason how to made Stephen stopped from pursuing Nana!
"What do you mean?" Stephen asked with knitted brows.
"Let me tell you a secret." Jian said and gestured Stephen to come closer.
"Nana has a secret. She's...." And then Jian whisphered to Stephen.
Stephen's eyes went wide open and his shoulders instantly dropped again!
His world seems to shatter!
What?!
Nana is...
No,no,no!
That can't be!
------
Victoria is sitting not far away from Jian and Stephen and she can hear their conversation.
Nana?
Flowers and chocolates?
Who is she?
Why do I feel like she's someone special to Jian?
Victoria took a deep breath.
If I could only turn back time, I would do it!
