Chereads / My beloved Kimmy / Chapter 2 - ...such a great man...

Chapter 2 - ...such a great man...

Kimmy leads Tessa to the kitchen as they felt hungry. Several maids greeted them good morning on the way.

Kimmy and Tessa sat on the chair. Tessa was amazed at her best friend's wealth. She's still young when she first visited her mansion but she's still stunned as she looks at their long, shiny table, silver platter, expensive kitchen tools and equipments.

As she looked up at the ceiling, she can see the beautiful chandelier.

"Tessa, are you okay?" asked Kimmy as she saw her staring at the ceiling.

Tessa came back to her senses.

"Oh, right, I'm okay." she said.

The maids brought different dishes to the table. The smell of Belgian waffles and blueberry pancakes reached Tessa's nose.

"Hmmm... smells tasty." she said, staring at the foods.

"Help yourself." said Kimmy looking at her, happily.

Tessa took a large portion of the pancake and stuffed it to her mouth, and now chewing it slowly, savoring it.

After they ate their breakfast, Tessa brought her best friend to the mall.

"Tessa, this is just a waste of time." said Kimmy to her. They are walking in the mall without any idea what to buy.

Then, Tessa had an idea. She looks at Kimmy.

"What?" muttered Kimmy, looking at her best friend as though she was reading her mind.

" My best friend is so pretty, I must buy her a dress!" said Tessa, excitedly. Without waiting for Kimmy's answer, she grab her hand through the dress shop.

" Tessa, I don't want!" she argued, but Tessa already pushed her inside the shop.

"Now, don't hesitate to tell me what dress you want." said Tessa.

"Tessa, I don't want to buy a dress." Kimmy told her. Tessa shook her head, then someone attracts her attention.

"Okay, I change my mind, we will not buy a dress." she said, slowly.

Kimmy looks at her, curiously.

"Now, I want you to stay calm, Kimmy." said Tessa.

" Why?"

Tessa smiled at her and point her finger over

her shoulder. Kimmy turned.

A charming, mousy haired guy was standing just outside the shop. Kimmy recognized him very quickly. It was Cedric Walter, her secret admirer. Kimmy didn't found him interesting. She dumped him many times but still, he doesn't give up on her. Kimmy look back to Tessa.

"I think we should buy a dress." she told her.

But it's already too late, Cedric caught sight of them. He beamed as he walks toward them

"We should go, Tessa." said Kimmy, firmly.

"Oh, but—"

Kimmy grab her outside the shop and start to walk, quickly.

"Kimmy!" Cedric called her.

"Just ignore...just ignore—"

"Hi Cedric!" Tessa waves at him.

Kimmy stopped. Cedric have walked in front of her.

"Hi, we're about to leave." she said, shortly, then grabs Tessa and walk away.

"Kimmy, please don't ignore me!" called Cedric.

Kimmy and Tessa made their way to the girl's rest room.

"Kimmy, that's harsh. It's your chance to have a boy friend." said Tessa.

"Tessa, I don't want to have a boy friend, it's just a waste of time and boys always cheat." said Kimmy, calmly.

"Not all boys cheat." replied Tessa.

Kimmy just rolled her eyes.

"I think we should eat lunch." she said. "It's unhealthy not to eat."

"Yeah you're right." said Tessa, sighing deeply.

Kimmy treat her best friend to a Korean restaurant for lunch. They ordered different kinds of sushi (Kimmy knows her best friend loves to eat a lot of food).

"Thanks for the treat, by the way" said Tessa as Kimmy drives her to her house.

"No problem." she said. " See you tomorrow at the hospital."

"Yeah, see you, bye." said Tessa.

At the University

(Mr. Chen's office)

Mr. Chen was playing with his pen in his office when Dr. Richard Hanson arrived. Mr. Chen's face softened as he saw his old friend. He stood up from his chair to shake his hand.

"Dr. Hanson, glad you've made to visit me." said Mr. Chen, after shaking his hand and returned to his chair.

"Of course, Mr. Chen, how are you?" said Richard.

"Fine, fine. Have a sit."

Richard sat down in front of Mr. Chen's desk.

" Dr. Hanson, I have called you here to discuss about Mr. Farell's son. Well, I've heard your daughter is a professional cardiologist and surgeon. Mr. Farell's son has a heart failure and they need a heart transplant...er..." Mr. Chen took a small envelope from his desk and gave it to Richard.

" What's this?" He asked, curiously.

" I want your daughter to take care of Mr. Farrell's son. That's a million dollars and please accept it, Dr. Hanson." said Mr. Chen.

"Is this from Mr. Farell?"

"No, they can't afford money like that, so I decided to help them for their son." said Mr. Chen.

Richard turned pink, Mr. Chen was a great man for him even though his wife keep doubting him. Richard stood up.

"Mr. Chen, you don't need to pay for them, my daughter will be glad to help them without money." He said giving back the envelope Mr. Chen. But Mr. Chen shook his head.

"It's all for your daughter, Mr. Hanson. She's not here to decide." He told him, smiling.

"You're such a great man, Mr. Chen, thank you."

"And thank you that you are willing to help Mr. Farell's son." said Mr. Chen.
