The Japan project finished finally, Hanson was very satisfied with his team work. Mr. Tokugawa was very thankful to them, he gave Candy and Marvin a little bonus for their hard work. He held press conference and a little party to launch his product. Hanson told Candy to be his partner to go to that party, she agreed to him, but Marvin also asked her to be his partner later on.
Candy felt sorry to Marvin, she had to rejected him "Sorry Marvin, I have to accompany boss to the party, he asked me first."
"Well, OK then." Marvin admitted his defeat, but he began to be suspicious with their relationship.
Candy had an idea "Do you want me to invite Luna ?"
Marvin hesitated at first, but he let her invited her in the end "Well, if it suit to her schedule it's OK with me."
Candy was excited to call Luna "OK I call her now." She dialed Luna's number "Hi Luna, do you free this friday night ?"
Luna was wondering "Yeah, why ?"
Candy giggled "I've found you a date ! Just come to my apartment on friday OK ?"
Luna curious to know "Date ? With who ? Is it blind date ?"
"You'll know it !Don't worry it's not a blind date ! Just bring your most beautiful dress OK !"
"OK , got it girl !" she believed blindly with her best friend said.
Candy told Marvin to pick Luna at her apartment "Hey Marv, don't forget to pick up Luna at the apartment you dropped me off the other day on friday OK ?."
"Okay"
One day before the party, Candy went home together with Hanson just like everyday, but he didn't go home directly that night.
Candy was wondering "Hey, this is not the way to home, where will we go ?"
"I want to stop by for a while at the boutique, I want you to dress up gracefully tomorrow cause you're the star tomorrow !"said Hanson passionately.
Candy felt embarrassed "Oh no sir, I'm not, beside I already have my own dress !"
Hanson proudly said to her "You must wear the latest fashion design ! Don't worry I'll pay for it !"
Candy felt hesitated more "No sir, I can pay with my own...."
But Hanson still insisted "This time I'll pay. You may choose whatever suits you ! Or I'll choose one for you ?"
" OK whatever. Do you have suggestions ?" she gave up.
Hanson asked to the shop keeper "Miss, can you show us your latest fashion ?"
The housekeeper pick up some dresses to show to them. Candy took the blue dresses, but Hanson took some black dresses.
"I think the black one suits you better ! You may try this one " He said that because he wanted to matched her with his black suit.
Candy just did what he said but a bit worry with the expose look "Don't you think the back is too expose ?"
But Hanson looked satisfied with his chosen dress "No, it looks sexy and graceful to me."
"OK, it's up to you then !" she got flattered when she heard what he said, it secured her also to take the dress.
Hanson gave signal to the shopkeeper "OK, we take this one Miss." He gave her his black card.
Candy decided to let her hair down to cover up her back, she just put on a hair pin to make it prettier. Luna came to her house at five o'clock, she brought her sexy red dress with her. Candy helped her to put on some make up, she looked beautiful that night.
"So, will you tell me the secret now ?" asked Luna curiously.
"I was invited to the launching party of my project. Marvin asked me to partner up with him, but my boss had asked me first. I didn't want to let him down that's why I recommend you to him." she's replied her while finishing her touch at her hair.
Luna teased her "Oh ... it's about triangle thing ?"
"Shh... don't say like that ! If my boss heard it, he'll get misunderstand ! You know he lives next door right ?" she was worry her boss would hear their conversation.
"OK OK. I'll see what will happen next." said Luna excitingly.
"Don't talk too much OK, now you get down first, Marvin had waited for you there !" she told her to go to the lobby.
"OK, good luck with your boss ! You look sexy enough to seduce him tonight !" teased her.
Candy's eyes got widened she wanted to scolded her that time, but Luna had ran away to the lift. Ten minutes later, Hanson knocked on her door, she opened the door and got ready to go.
Hanson sparkling eyes got enchanted by her appearance when she opened the door "You look beautiful ! Are you ready ?"
"Yeah I'm ready." she was excited to go to the party also.
Hanson grabbed her hand and held it on his arm "OK let's go now ! You look gorgeous ! Did you dress up by yourself ?"
Candy proudly answered him "Yeah, I used to have some art shows during my study at univ. I helped my friends got dress up also."
Hanson amazed with her other talent "Wow it's interesting. What show ?"
Candy told him about her stage performance "I did some theatre performance with my friends to make some money, I played with my violin too sometimes."
Hanson stopped her walk for a while "Wait. Did you say you play violin ?"
"Yeah, why ?"
"I've been curious with a girl playing violin while in usa. You said, you used to be working on Xuang Shi restaurant while in usa right ? Is it you the girl I've been looking for all this time ?" he looked through to her eyes sharply.
Candy had no idea with his thinking "I don't know ? Why do you wanna looking for her ?"
Hanson continued his talking "I once saw a girl playing violin very well in there, I was very impressed by her playing that time, but when I looked for her again I couldn't find, I didn't know her name also."
Candy tried to think hard then she told him "I think the one that played violin at that restaurant only me, the other just played guitar. So, when did you saw me ?"
Hanson thought for a while "I think it was around Christmas time, the restaurant was very full with people and children ?"
Candy connected to what he said "Ouw yeah, maybe it was the time when we treated the orphanage children at our place !"
Hanson smiled happily "I'm glad I can find you finally in here." he hugged her suddenly, he was very happy.
Candy surprised by his sudden action, she was just stunned standing still in freeze.
Hanson released her after a while "You played your violin beautifully, it reminded me I want to play together with you someday. I used to play violin too you know ! But I played guitar now, maybe we can play together sometime ?" he asked her excitingly.
Candy got flattered, she giggled to herself "Oh I see."
"Yeah we can try it someday !" she replied him back.
They arrived at the party place, Hanson offered his hand, Candy held his hand, together they walked side by side just like real couple. His suit well matched with her dress. They met Marvin and Luna there, Marvin's eyes always followed her everywhere she go, he was amazed by his graceful look.
"Good evening sir. You look gorgeous tonight Candy !" he greeted them.
"Thank you" said Candy with confident walk.
She winked at Luna "Have you guys knew each other well ?"
Luna wanted to answered her when they heard noises of the music and the host started to speak.
The party had started not long after they arrival, Mr. Tokugawa gave his speech to opened the ceremony. He told to the audience about launching his cosmetic products. At the end of his speech everyone gave him applause to support him. After finishing his speech he came down from the stage, he greeted Hanson, Candy and Marvin.
He praised Candy the most "Thank you Ms. Wu for your hard work all this time, my actress was very satisfied with your work. You look beautiful today, come here I have something for you." He gave signal to his assistant then he took a box and opened it, it was a diamond necklace, then he let her wore it. Hanson helped him to put on the necklace on her neck "I think this will suit your dress more !" he satisfied seeing her wearing his necklace.
Candy surprised, but she smiled happily "Ouw Thank you Mr. Tokugawa. It's beautiful." she felt very thankful to him.
"You're welcome dear !" He turned to Marvin then. "Marvin I want to thank you for your hard work too, here I have something for you." he shook his hand then he gave him an envelope.
Marvin was surprised and his face looked brightly smiling took the envelope "Thank you Mr. Tokugawa, I'll do my best in the future to satisfied you more !"
"You're welcome Marv ! Please enjoy the party well, all of you !" he tried to pleased them all.
Everyone was very thankful to him.
They enjoyed the party for a while, Hanson then said to Marvin he would leave with Candy first. Candy just followed him, she told Luna to sleep at her place that night before she left her.
"You knew my pass code right ? My birthday !" Candy told her.
"OK, Got it !" she responded her back.
Hanson didn't go home directly after leaving the party, it turned out he took her to another date to a fancy restaurant to had dinner there.
"Hey, this is not the way to home ?" she asked him wondering.
"Yeah, I want to have some dinner first, I couldn't eat well at that party." Hanson tried to find excuses to her.
"Actually I'm not hungry, but It's up to you, you're the driver." she casually said.
Hanson took her to enjoyed some steak and wine.
"Is the steak suits you ?"
Candy's appetite came suddenly when she smell the nice steak smell "Yeah, it's nice !"
"The steak here is the closer taste to the american style I've ever known." he explained to her proudly.
Candy nodded "Well I think you're right !"
"Even the wine taste is good in here !"
"Really ?" Candy then took a sip on her glass "Yeah you're right !" she satisfied with the taste.
Hanson's eyes stuck on her almost all the time, she felt awkward with it.
Candy kept on eating her steak "Is there something wrong with me sir ? Why do you staring at me almost all the time ?"
Hanson smiled faintly "No, nothing wrong, I'm just admiring your beauty can I ?"
Candy teased him "But I'm afraid your look like a knife who want to stab me or eat me anytime with your look !"
Hanson laughed "I'm just so happy to find you here violin girl ! Have you learned your violin for long time ?" he asked.
"Well, I learnt piano first, then I learnt violin since ten years old." she replied him.
Hanson admired her a lot "Oh, you can play piano too ?"
Candy humble herself "Only a little. I like violin more, I was inspired by a boy one day, he used to play violin beautifully !" she reminded of the boy who play violin well at the party when she was a child.
Hanson was wondering "Oh Really ?" he grabbed her hand then asked her "I can't wait to play violin together with you ! When ?"
Candy pulled back her hand she felt awkward "We can try it tomorrow ?"
Hanson eyes sparked brightly "It's a good idea ! Have you finished ?"
"Yes, I'm full !"
"OK, Let's go home now !"
Candy a bit worry seeing him "Is it OK for you to drive back after drank some wine ?"
Hanson tried to reassure her "I'll drive slowly. I only drank a little just now."
"OK, I'll be watching you !"
"Can, did you remember you once bump into a random guy and asking for protection to him from a stalker ?"
"I think I remembered it, It was a horrible night ! But how do you know ?" she tried to guess "Was that guy you ?"
"I'm afraid yes !" he smiled while driving.
"But how did you still remember it ? I couldn't remember that guy's face who save me that day !"
"Maybe you were to scared to see me !"
They arrived at their apartment safely finally. Candy just couldn't believe with the coincident that she had been through lately with her boss.
Candy thank him before she entered her house "Thank you for the dinner sir !"
Hanson frowned "Sir again ?"
Candy got blushed "I mean, see you tomorrow Han bro !"
Hanson waved at her with smile "That's nice to hear ! OK, see you tomorrow !"
Candy entered her room, there she met Luna, she got there before her.
Luna rubbed her ayes "Where were you ? I thought you left the party earlier than me, how come you just got here now ?"
"Oh, he asked me to accompany him to had dinner before we go home." she responded her.
Luna teased her "So it's another private date ?"
Candy denied her "No, it's just dinner !"
Luna tried to change the subject "By the way I've never seen this dress you wear before ?"
"He just bought it for me yesterday." she replied her shyly.
"He ? Your boss ?" asked Luna curiously.
"MMM" she just mumbled.
Luna teased her again "Don't you see ? I think he has some feeling for you Can !"
Candy denied her directly "Nooo !"
"So can you explain to me about his special treatment to you ?"
"There is nothing to explain Lu, there is nothing between us, just don't make any stupid story in your head !"
"But tonight I saw Marvin's eyes never missed from you too at that party, don't you think it's really triangle relation ?" she teased her.
"Luna, stop it, just go to sleep will you." Candy's face got red, she really embarrassed.
Candy thought about Luna's talk that night, she denied them all, but somewhere deep down in her heart, she questioned them also "Are they really have some feeling to me ? I've never got involve with some romance experience before ! I really can't understand all of this !"
