It was the first day of working day at that new year, they went to the office together like usually, he held her hand confidently right after they got into the office. Everyone saw them, they whispering to each other "Are they dating ? I never saw boss held any woman's hand before this."
Candy lowered her head while they entered the office, she's too shy to show their relation in public "Han bro you don't have to hold my hand." she tried to release her hand from him, but he held it tightly.
"You're my woman officially now, you have to be confident like you used to be ! I don't want anyone take you from me !"
"Of course you're mine ! And I'm yours !"
"That's my woman ! Come on show me your brave and confident of your true identity !"
She smiled brightly hearing his encourages to her. She then dare to lift up his face while walking beside him.
Candy entered her room, they parted now. Kelly came to her room right after she came.
Kelly greeted her and curious about her "Happy New Year Can ! Woah, you're so great ! You came together with boss on the first day of the year, and both of you holding hands ? Are you dating with him now ?"
Candy smiled a little and mumble "Mmm"
"Since when ?"Kelly asked her excitingly.
"Since last Christmas !"
"Really ? I thought he had an eye for you before that, remember when you were hospitalized from the accident at the mountain, boss was sooo worried about you ! Only him stayed beside you all night ! He didn't allow us to be by your side for too long."
"Really ? Do you think so ? So what were other rumors about me ?" Candy began curious.
"Everyone has suspected him liking you from the first time you work here ! You were still newbie back then, but boss chose you to help him with the international project. Some people were so jealous with you !" Kelly tried to explain the whole situation to her.
"Ah I see.... Was he that obvious paying attention to me ?" Candy didn't expect that other employees had guest it.
"Yeap, that's why Jolin was so damn jealous and angry with you ! I've told you right ?"
"Yes, I remembered you had warned me before."
Kelly still didn't believe the fact that they're dating "But are you really serious with boss Can ?"
"Yes, of course. Why ? Are you jealous too ?" teased Candy.
"Nooo, not me. I think you've broke Marvin's heart !" Kelly told her about Marvin crushed on her.
Candy didn't believe her "What did you say ? Marvin ? What's wrong with him ?"
"Don't you know, he likes you since long time ago !"
Candy chuckled "Really ? I don't know that. Hey you'd better go back, we'll continue the gossip later !" Candy got the message from Hanson, he told her to go to his office.
"OK see you." Kelly waved at her.
Candy was very busy that day, she didn't see the clock until Hanson called her to his office again.
"It's lunch time honey, you need to take a rest, come see me in my office."
"OK, coming"
When Candy got into his office she saw some delicious food on the table ready to eat.
"Wow, where did you get these ?"
"I've ordered them through internet, do you like it ?"
"Looks delicious ! Come let's try them !" her eyes were shimmering seeing a lot of delicious food.
After they finished their lunch, Candy's phone rang, it was from Luna.
"Hi Can, where have you been ? I've tried to contact you many times since christmas but couldn't reach you till now."
"Oh hi Luna, I was on vacation."
"Where ? Why don't you tell me ?"
"I went to Austria for six days. I was in hurry so I couldn't tell you, since I'm abroad I shut my phone off."
"Oh I see. With whom did you go ?"
"With my boyfriend." she glanced at Hanson with smiled.
Luna covered her mouth with her hand "Oh, are you dating him ?...Finally ?"
"Well....yeah .... you may say so..."
"You may say so ??? Candy you've been so close to me usually but why I don't know anything about you now ? We must see each other... no I have to see you this afternoon, I'll pick you up in your office !" said Luna excitingly.
Candy forbid her to pick her up "No, you don't have to pick me up, just tell me where can I see you. We'll meet you there." she said it while looking at Hanson.
Luna was curious with her "Why I can't pick you up ?"
Candy got Hanson's signal "Because my fiance won't allow me to go with you alone." she winked at Hanson.
Luna teased her "Oh my God... are you guys that close already ? He even had tamed you ?"
Candy was going to end the call "Don't say anything again just let us meet tonight, where ?"
Luna thought fo a while then she decided to meet at Galen's place "How about at at Galen place ? Did you know he had opened a kitchen bar ?"
Candy got her message "Ouh I know his place, OK let's meet there !"
Marvin saw Candy and his boss holding hands together again when they got out from the office. He heaved a heavy sigh, Kelly came to near him "Come on there's still a lot of nice women out there, just keep on moving on, she's not belong to you !"
Marvin smiled bitterly "Yeah, maybe someone with a lot of money is more interesting."
Kelly "Hey don't say like that, Candy is not someone who is materialistic ! I heard she's from rich family also, someone ever told me he saw her riding very expensive sport car."
Marvin didn't believe her "Really ? I don't believe rumors, I only believe in my own eyes."
Candy and Hanson came to Galen's bar, there they met Luna and Galen.
Galen welcomed them "Come on in ...."
Candy introduced them "Han bro, you've known my childhood friend Luna before right and this is Galen. This is my childhood friend also Hanson."
Hanson smiled and he shook Galen's hand "Nice to meet you."
Luna curious about him "How come he's your childhood friend also Can ? How do you know each other before ?"
"Remember once I've told you about a brother who I really admired a lot when I was a little, because of him I want to learn to play violin. It's him !" Candy was trying to remind her about the past.
"Oh that boy ?"
Hanson added her "Our father used to be best friend also, when I was a child I was impressed by her boldness to messed up strangers wall with colorful paint." he laughed out loud.
Luna's eyes widened,she couldn't believe him "Are you really that bold girl ?"
Galen chuckled "I believe she's that bold !"
Candy got blushed "Oh really I did it ? I forgot." she laughed.
Luna stared at Hanson "So, you pursued her first ?"
Hanson nodded "Yeap, I have a click feeling when I saw her again for the first time."
"When was that ?" asked Luna curiously.
"It was long time ago, I think she had impressed me while playing with her violin back then."
"How about you Can ? Why did you give up on him ? You used to denied him !" Luna teased her.
Candy admitted her feeling for him, she looked at him with passion "Well .... my heart finally melted to see his big effort."
Luna's heart very touched hearing her confession "Wow such a sweet story, so when will you get married ?"
"I think we will get engage two weeks after Lunar New Year." Candy informed her.
Luna looked at her with surprise look "Wow that soon ?"
"I'll come even I'm not invited !" said Galen with big laugh.
"Of course you both will invited ! You're my best friend ! So are you guys finally dating each other too ?" Candy asked them directly.
Luna tried to hide her smiled, she looked at Galen.
Galen looked at her too "Yes, we're dating now."
Candy was so happy and she congratulate them "Woah congratulation ! You've got your confident back Galen ! I know you used to be love and care for her, but you're not confident with yourself back then, that's why your relation was on and off all the time."
Galen admitted his unconfident past "Yeah, I was pressured by my dad also. But now, since I can pursue my own work and passion I have confident in me. I've said to myself I don't wanna lose her again." his hand hugged Luna's shoulder beside him.
"I'm glad you did it Gale ! I'm happy for both of you too !" Candy supported Galen and Luna to be together.
***
Two weeks before the Lunar new year Candy went together with Hanson to a mall beside their apartment building. They bought some new cloths for them. Then they went to their designer to made couples suit and dress for their engagement day too.
When they were walking at mall, Linda saw them walking together holding hands, she was stunned for a moment. Linda's face reddened as she boiled with rage, she thought that Hanson was hers all this time. She didn't want to loose him. She came to them and greeted Hanson
"Hi Han bro, how are you ?"
Hanson smiled to her "Hi Linda, what are you doing here ?"
"I was shopping here when I see you two !"
Hanson introduced Candy to Linda "This is my girlfriend Candy Wu."
Candy nodded and smiled faintly to her "Nice to meet you Ms Chu !"
"Nice to see you too Ms Wu ! Since when both of you dating ?"
Hanson replied her "Since long time ago !" Candy glanced at him, she knew he didn't like her and wanted to draw a line between them.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know that" Linda wanted to chat a little longer with him, but Hanson interrupted her.
"Sorry Linda, will you excuse us ? We're still unfinished shopping. You may go for yourself either."
Linda finally let them go with upset look. She went home directly after that because she was so piss off to see them together holding hands.
When Linda got home, she heard her mom said that Hanson will engage to Candy soon, she couldn't except it, she went to her bedroom and cried a lot. "He used to be mine, why she took him from me ? I have to have him first than her !"
She planned something bad on her mind.
