Chapter 28 - Date

It's already 10pm when the taping was dismissed.

As usual, Natalie and Jian sitted on the backseat and Stephen drive the car.

Jian pretended to clear his throat.

"Ehem!" And the he glanced at Natalie, "Nana, have you found the person that you were looking for?" Jian asked.

"Huh?!" Natalie was stunned!

Then, she remember that she told Jian that she's here in Taipei to look for someone.

"Uhm.. N-no...Not yet!" She replied.

"Oh! Then, who's that guy on the set this morning?" Jian finally asked.

He have been anxious since this morning, he keep on thinking how that guy and Nana are related to each other.

"Uh, that guy?" Nana looked at Jian and she smiled.

"It was Henry, he's a good friend from Shanghai." She said.

"A friend?" Jian mumbled.

"Enn.." Natalie nodded her head.

Jian can't help but curved his lips, 'I still have a chance!' He thought.

"Eh! Jian, I heard that the taping for tomorrow is cancelled."

"Yes! Why?" Jian asked.

"Oh! Henry invited me for a dinner tomorrow." Natalie replied.

Jian's smile instantly faded when he heard Natalie's reply.

"Dinner?"

"Just the two of you?" He asked.

"Yes! We haven't seen each other for a few months, so we have a lot of things to talk about!" Natalie replied.

Actually, the dinner that Henry planned to set up is for her, and her Mom.

So, Natalie instantly agreed when Henry told her that her mom wanted to have dinner with her!

------

Natalie blowed dry her hair before she curl it.

She put a light make up and choose her best dress and high heeled shoes.

She want to look decent in front of her mother, she don't want her to know her current situition because she don't want her to get worried.

Natalie stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, when she feel satisfied, she pick up her purse and get out from her bedroom.

Jian abd Stephen are currently talking in the living room.

"Dude, are you sure you let her go on a date with that guy?" Stephen asked anxiously.

Jian took a deep breath, "What else can I do? I can't ask her to pospone her date, she might ask me why." Jian said.

"Well, you can pretend that you're sick and you need her to take good care of you!" Stephen said.

"..."

Jian was speechless.

Dude! It's not convincing at all!

Jian wanted to tell Stephen.

"Wait! I have a great idea! Why don't you tell her the truth?" Stephen said with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Tell her, what?" Jian asked.

"Tell her that you like her! Tell her that you're jealous and you don't want her to be with another guy!" Stephen said.

"Hey Stephen! It's not easy to confess like you just spit out a hot food from your mouth!" Jian objected.

"This is not the right time to confess to her! I still have to make efforts to make her fall for me! I don't want it to be just a one sided love." He added.

Stephen shook his head, "Oh! You're really inlove!" He said.

Atfer a while they heard a sound of the opening door.

Jian and Stephen automatically turned their head to Natalie's bedroom and the two of them are stunned!

Natalie is wearing a two inches above the knee strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline, fit and flare silhouette and a pleated skirt which gave her a cute look and a clever touch.

She also become taller with her high heeled sandals.

"Wow! She's so beautiful!" Stephen blurted out.

Jian was stunned too!

He stared at Natalie without blinking his eyes!

He used to see her wear a denim jeans and a plain shirt.

This is his first time to see her dressed up like this!

She's beautiful enough even without make up but tonight, she's stunningly beautiful!

"So, how do you find my look?" Natalie asked the two men.

"Oh! Nana! You look so perfect!" Stephen was the one who answered!

Stephen looked at his friend who is in a dazed!

He nudge him to get his attention!

"Jian!"

"Huh?!" Jian snapped back to his senses and tilted his head.

"Nana looked so beautiful tonight, isn't she?" Stephen said.

"Uh,... uhm..." Jian look at Natalie again.

"You..."

'You made me speechless with your look tonight!' Jian wanted to tell Natalie.

But he did not blurted it out, what he said to her is opposite instead!

"Your dress is too revealing!" Jian said.

"It's too short and sleeveless! It's already night and the temperature is cold, you might catch a cold!"

Jian pause for a moment before he continued, "Look at your make up! You looked like a lady boy!"

"Eh!" Natalie was almost speechless!

"Hey Jian! I really pitty you because you don't know about fashion, do you?" Natalie asked with her raised brows.

"Oh! Why am I asking you anyway?" Natalie pinched the space between her brows. "It's getting late, I should go now!" She said and headed to the door.

"Wait!" Jian took a coat and put it on to Natalie. "Wear this, so you won't get cold!" He said.

Natalie can't stop herself from smiling. "Thanks!" It feels so good to know that someone is taking good care of her!
