Chapter 3 - 3

Minko are you in there? I made some breakfast. Steamed meat buns with soup. Come get it before it gets cold. Hey Jujilee why are you up so early? My head is pounding. Oh, that's right Minko. I also made you some hangover drink. Here take this with it for the headache. Thanks Jujilee.

I'm headed out to buy a new dress for the date my parents set up. Do you want to come with? Yeah Juji, I have to get some new outfits too. Just wait a bit before we go. Till my head's not so bad.

You know that man I walked into at the cafe? Minkos ears perked up. Yeah. I saw you taking to him at the bar. *blush Juji are you blushing. ooo ooo what happened. I need details. Nothing happened Minko. Just I really think I like him. Juji you think you like that cold man. He's not cold Minko. He is a gentleman and a caring man.

ok, ok, ok. Lets just go shopping for that dress. Minko, I don't think I want my parents to pick a man for me. Don't worry so much Juji. Nothing has been decided yet. You have time to figure things out. I know it's just I don't want to disappoint my parents. You know they want grandbabies really soon.

Oh, Wow. Minko, look at this dress. Do you think it would be perfect for a date. Juji, I think it's too shy. To attract a man you need wear something that shows more..more than just your hands. How about this one. It's has lace sleeve and doesn't show off too much skin. I know it's out of your comfort zone but you'll look gorgeous. I'll decide after I try it on.

After changing into the dress Jujilee looks at herself in the mirror. Minko was right I look great in this. She steps out of the dressing room while saying to Minako. You are right this dress is a good one. A familiar voice says. It suits you! *shocked Mr. Rhui I didn't know you where here. Miss. Koi asked me to come in the store to give a man's opinion on a dress. Oh, I see. *glares at Minako

We seem to keep running into each other Mr. Rhui. It would seem so. Miss. Siminaki would you care to go to a launching event with me? It's one my company is holding to introduce a new brand. Juji this means we get to shop for a formal dress. *eeee this is so exciting. Mr. Rhui when is this event? Is on this Saturday. Oh, good. I have that day free and will see you then. Here is my business card. I just wrote my personal number on it. Would you like for me to pick you up or to meet there. If it's not to much trouble you could pick me up the same place you dropped me before.

Minako and Jujilee found the perfect dress for the event then went shopping for the things Minako wanted. After shopping they went home to watch some dramas and eat their rice bowl takeout.

It is time to decide where we want to work and live. We have to clear out of our dorm by the end of two more weeks. Juji I will sign where ever you go. This is the best of our last three choices. Do we want this one it has the best resources and a good reputation. The also have an anonymous rich sponsor. It's a couple hours drive from both our family's houses. They checked the contracts one last time before signing and sending them in to finalize getting hired. With a place to work settled they both asked at the same time "stay roommates..yes".

It was the day of the date her parents set up for her. She put on the dress she got for this reason. The dress has long lace sleeves and the neck line that showed just the right amount of cleavage. The length was just above the knees and had a jacket lace design that flowed down to her knees. She went to the restaurant that they where meeting at and told the waiter she would wait at the reserved table. She was a little early and started to play games on her phone. Her date should be showing up anytime now. The waiter came over and asked what she would like to drink. Jujilee ordered a glass of red wine. A man walked towards her as she finished her order. Let me introduce myself. I am Harou Jie and you must be Miss.? Hello, I am Jujilee Simonaki. Mr. Jie sat and ordered a drink for himself. They chatted for a bit to get to know each other. *and that's how my business started. Mr. Jie finished.

After taking a while Mr.Jie says Miss. Siminaki if you find me satisfactory I would like for us to formally be engaged. I think you are suitable for me and would like this to move forward as soon as possible. Jujilee looked at him embarrassedly. *let out breath slowly Mr. Jie I think that would be moving to fast for me. Right now I am in the beginnings of starting my carier as a doctor. A good amount of my time will be occupied with my job that leaves me little time for other things. Also, I believe in marraige that has love involved not worked out as a business deal. I don't think we are suited well together. I am sorry this isn't the way for me. Mr. Jie smiles and says that is fine. I will let my family know this will not happen. I'm sure they have other women they want to set me up with. Miss. Simonaki I hope that you have a full and happy life and maybe we can become friends now that this set up is over. I'd like that Mr. Jie. They finished eating and went their separate ways.

The next day was the launching event that Mr. Rhui is taking her to. Thinking about it made her heartbeat faster.
