The week that i was suppose to fly to Taiwan has come , my butler Pram sent me to the airport and from there i instructed him to look after the house while i'm gone for a week and i went to check in my luggage got my boarding pass and went straight into the lounge to get some work done before boarding the plane.
While at the lounge I sat in a quiet corner doing some final touches to the powerpoint presentation and boom I'm on the flight to Taiwan ! The flight wasn't too bad, the food was rather delicious actually but when I finally touched down and grabbed my luggage, someone grabbed my hand out of nowhere .
" Sorry that is my luggage you are holding on to" said the guy in formal wear at a dam airport i looked up " Excuse me this is my luggage" pulled the luggage tag to show him that it has my name on it as well my contact details so on so forth " Oh sorry , my bad Ms have a pleasant day " he walked away embarrassing himself .
I pulled my luggage out of the arrival hall to be greeted by the staff that organised the event and got into the car and drove me to my hotel . they dropped me off and helped me sort out everything from the hotel to the inventory and press conference as well just hours before the presentation i am suppose to do which is in 3 days
"So Ms Stella , I hope you will enjoy the view and everything we have planned out for you today. You have the whole day to yourself so feel free to roam around Taiwan but don't go too far alright , we will see you tomorrow for a shoot at Taipei 101 . " she ended it with a short smile and i smiled back of course and she left me to unpack my stuff.
This is what I like to do when I am in a new country or any hotel to in fact take a very very very long nap . As the hours went by I woke up to the sky being all dark and cloudy. I looked out the window seeing every building light up. I glanced over at the clock to see it was only 6pm , I grabbed my bag and whatever I needed and headed out for dinner alone.
Finally the food which finally arrived I hungrily ate it till it was all clean without fail . I paid for the meal and headed out to the shopping district just wandering around not knowing how far I am .
The next day
I woke up early to have breakfast at the hotel before heading back up to change into something thick before getting in the car with the staff. We drove to Taipei 101 and at the top of the building the scene for the shoot was ready with other business CEOs at the highest ranking as of this year .
"Ms Stella the camera man is waiting for you " the producer said while I was getting my hair fixed, I nodded my head and stopped the stylist and followed the producer out of the room and took in the view of the amazing City of Taiwan.
Camera man: Alright Ms Stella Congratulations on being 1st in everything once again , now I need you to smile and give me your best smile.
He said that with confidence and with that i smiled and pose as he click the camera , like posing for a model shoot just keep moving and once i was done , i took a look at the screen and with all the photos wow i look good , i thanked the people and left for the dressing room to change out of the dress and removed the heavy make up and changed in into light makeup .
While i walked out of the room i bumped into someone , " I'm so sorry , i wasn't looking- " i stopped talking and looked at him , he looked at me with confusion for the first 5 seconds and gave me a smile .
" Hi, Damien Lim , Director of KKP . I believe you are Ms Stella, the most stunning CEO . " said Damien while he shoved his hands into his pocket and I looked up at him. In clear shock .
"Wow i am a huge fan , uhm you are here for the press conference ? " i asked while standing there awkwardly . " Well of course , I have a tiny segment for my own talk , I hope you could be there to watch me talk " he said while scratching the back of his head.
"Uhm are you done here? Do you want to grab dinner together? Or- " he cuts me off " sure, i also just finished with the shoot definitely could spend some time with you, shall we ? " he said with a big smile on his face.
We told the producers that we would take our leave and they said okay and off we went , he got his assistant to get the car ready as we talked and walked around the museum before heading down to the ground floor .
" Say , Ms Stella, where is your assistant? " he said while we waited for the car to be driven. up to the waiting area " I don't have one " i said and looked him straight in the eye .
He nodded his head and opened the car door for me and got in before he entered himself , he seems really familiar with Taiwan , he asked if i liked trains and ever let a lantern go and i said no of course i only travel for work and to go home to indulge myself , ahaha he laughed together with me . We have driven up in the hills with a town and amazing with the sun going down so quickly he took my arm and lead me into the town and realise that a train will always pass by like every 15-30 mins and he lead me to a shop where they had already set up the lanterns for people to write their wishes .
I was told that by writing on the lanterns , our wishes will come true which I highly doubt will happen due to the fact I had a very traumatic childhood and wishes don't come true but either way i wrote a few things , Damien had a look on what i wrote and giggled .
"What is so funny Mr Damien ?" I asked while I pouted , he looked at me and messed with my hair , " why do you want more money when you are already making millions everyday ? " he said while looking at me
"Does that matter? I don't know what to wish for exactly ? haha it's complicated i have a very complicated mind " i said while finishing whatever I have just written and when Damien was done , there it was we lit up the bottom of the lantern and let it go .
"You know so many people visited this place and the majority always got what they wanted in life and they still came back here to make wishes " Damien said with a smile on his face . I smiled back and we settled for a really early dinner.
We did a little shopping and with that we got back into the car and drove back to the city center and had dinner by the night market. We walked a little before settling down in an unknown restaurant . We sat down and he ordered everything that sounded nice , then the food came to our table. I already know what it was and he didn't like it one bit .
I took the first bite of the smelly tofu and yes I love smelly tofu. I acted like nothing ever happened. He looked weirdly at me and decided to take one small bite and looked at me dead in the eye .
"How can you eat this ? " he said while spitting it out . I laughed while covering my face , I swapped his bowl of food with my plate of meat , " Here you can have mine, can't believe you walked into a restaurant without knowing what you are ordering. " giggling my way as i talked . he looked at me all pity
" i am not Chinese you must know that , i may look like one but sadly i am and ABC , i didn't learn Chinese instead i took up other language lessons. " he said while he eat his food.
" I see , no wonder you ordered almost everything off the menu hahaha , so I am guessing your mom is asian?" I said while munching on my food.
"No my dad is , but I would like to get to know you more. Perhaps we could go for a few drinks tomorrow night after the get together? " - Damien.
