" Likewise Father. " Samuel's voice echoed in the living room.
Crystal who was watching and listening the whole scene from the stairs had her mouth parted and eyes widened.
" WHAT?? " Jay and Daniel both shouted in union.
Mr.Kim came inside and stood in front of Samuel.
" I heard you were here so I decided to pay you a little visit, son. " He put a hand on his shoulder.
" My pleasure father. Its a good thing you're here. I would like to show you the house I bought. "
Maria cleared her throat to indicate her presence.
" Meet Maria, Father. She is Mr.Jay's daughter and my girlfriend. " Samuel smiled.
Maria's eyes became more wide but she controlled herself and greeted Mr.Kim.
" Its a pleasure to meet you as well, dear. " Mr.Kim nodded his head.
Jay and Daniel were standing there like statues but was brought back to reality when Samuel introduced them as well.
" This is Mr.Jay Parker, Maria's Father and this is Mr.Daniel, Maria's friend. "
Mr.Kim nodded at both of them.
" I will go to the house you bought with Jake. Meet me there. " Mr.Kim raised his eyebrows at Samuel and left.
As soon as he left, Maria decided to break the silence.
" Now you know why I am refusing to marry Daniel. Don't force me again Dad or it won't end well. " Maria said and grabbed Samuel's hand, dragging him to her room.
Getting inside, she locked the door and glared at Samuel.
" What? " He asked with one raised eyebrow and an amused smile.
" Why did you say that? When did I become your girlfriend? " She put her hands on her hips.
" Since today. " Samuel said with a monotone.
" You could have said many things but why that. I don't want to be your girlfriend. "
" You sure. " Samuel stepped forward and Maria stepped back.
" Yes. " Maria said almost in a whisper.
Samuel brought his face closer to Maria's face. She couldn't hold eye contact with him which gave him his answer.
Maria suddenly pushed Samuel away and out of her room.
Before she could close the door on him, he turned her amd said.
" You are not just going to be my girlfriend, you are going to be my wife, mark my words. " And gave her a slight smile.
" That is never going to happen. " Maria crossed her arms.
" Never say never. " Samuel shrugged and went away with a cheeky smile.
--------------------
Crystal got back to her room and called her mother again.
" Mom, I have something important to tell you. "
" What is it? "
" The guy that saved Maria, he is the son of the Kim family. "
" WHAT? ARE YOU SURE? "
" Absolutely. Mr.Kim just came here. "
" How is this girl so lucky? It will be difficult to do anything to her now. " Her mom said frustratingly.
" Yes. I also heard Samuel saying that Maria is his girlfriend. But I don't believe him. I heard them talk and I think he only said that so that Maria could avoid marrying Daniel. "
" No one does that for someone they just met. " Her mother's voice came, " I think he is interested in Maria. "
" What can we do now? " Crystal sat on the couch to control her breath.
" Help your husband by giving him a male heir. "
--------------------
Daniel and Jay sat down holding their heads. They still couldn't believe what had happened here a few moments ago.
" What a fool I am? " Jay threw his head back on the backrest of the couch.
" Uncle don't worry, we will figure sometime out. "
" What will you figure out? Its the Kim family we are talking about. I didn't knew my daughter was in contact with them or I would never arrange her with you. "
" What? "
" Leave Daniel. I am not in the mood. "
Daniel stared at Jay before he stood up and left.
Jay thought of all the ways to make this right. His daughter had hit on a jackpot and he wasn't going to let it go from his hands.
