occurring or done quickly and unexpectedly or without warning

"Okay, I'll be there."

Soojin's schedule for today was packed considering that she cancelled a lot of meetings for the past two days so here she is making up for her absence.

She always keeps in mind to update Shuhua every other hour when she's free.

She haven't seen her sister step in her company today. It was like Miyeon and Soyeon haven't talked yet.

"Supplies will be coming on starting next week so make sure to check everything thoroughly. This project is an important one to us, the client chose us to do this so let's work like we always do." Soojin utters, ending the meeting.

Minhee followed behind while reading the next schedule of the day. "Mr. Lee made an appointment yesterday and he'll be here around 9:30 am, the luncheon meeting was cancelled for today and is rescheduled for next week by the other party." Soojin stops walking so as Minhee, turning around.

Soojin snaps her fingers, "Tell Leander to come to my office right away and make sure to order food for two people by 11:00 am." Soojin said with a smile, Minhee nodded as she writes it down.

Soojin immediately entered her office so she can start signing some papers to lessen her workload.

Checking her phone, her last text to Shuhua wasn't even read yet by the latter. She sent another message and decided to wait for the younger to reply while she's doing some work.

Minhee's voice resonated from the intercom before Soojin can even start reading the first folder on her table. "Ma'am Leander is already here." Soojin pressed the intercom as she responded.

"Let him in."

Shuhua was preparing some tea when a call came in.

She just woke up and wanted to message Soojin but it seems like someone wanted to talk to her first. Answering the phone call, Shuhua put it on speaker mode as she transfer the tea to a cup.

"Good morning Shuhua." Shuhua sips on her cup of tea after being greeted by her manager. "It's been a long time since I heard your voice Muxi." Shuhua responded, taking her phone with her to the living room.

"I don't want to beat around the bush Shu, the FJC Magazine wants you to be the cover for this month's issue." Shuhua sighed, she sternly said that she doesn't want to have any work related talk while she's on her little vacation.

"But Mu-" Before Shuhua can even refuse, her manager continued. "And the CEO already approved FJC Magazine's proposal, they want you to be here the day after tomorrow. It's gonna be a collaborative shoot actually as much as I already opposed to it but you know that her decisions are absolute." Shuhua puts down her cup, thinking deeply.

She'll have to inform Soojin about it.

"Okay, I'll be there." She wasn't gonna stay here in South Korea anyway well that was the original plan but as much as she doesn't want to leave now.

She needs to separate work and love.

After the call, Shuhua immediately checked the messages she got from Soojin. Smiling from ear to ear reading it.

Quickly typing a reply, she giggles at her own reply.

"Guess I'll have to pack my things up." Shuhua mutters.

Halfway through her packing, she was startled the bell started ringing indicating that there's a person outside of her unit.

There are three people who only stepped inside her unit, her father, Tzuyu, and of course Soojin. The most possible person that could be at the other side of the door is Soojin since Tzuyu and Sana already made up and her father is back to Taiwan.

Opening the door with a happy smile, she was welcomed by a man wearing a formal attire. Her smile turned upside down concerning the man.

"I'm sorry Ms. Yeh to disappoint you but I'm here to pick you up." Leander smiles, giving the latter a bouquet of red lilies that Shuhua never noticed. Shuhua receives the flowers with hesitation, getting a glimpse of the card attached.

She opened it, reading what was written.

I promised that I will eat every meals of the day with you so I asked Leander to go and pick you up. I don't know if you'll like the flowers, I don't specifically know your preference yet that I almost want to just buy the whole flower shop.

I listened to you not to bring you breakfast today so I hope you already had breakfast earlier.

Meals tastes much better when I'm with you<3

-Soojin

Shuhua giggles at how cheesy Soojin can be, checking her wall clock. She didn't notice that it was almost lunch time. She was too busy packing up her things that she lost track of time.

"Please come in, it'll take time for me to get ready. Do you want something to drink?" Shuhua asks letting the man inside her unit. Soojin trusts Leander and so Shuhua also trusts the man.

"It's okay Ms. Yeh." Leander politely bow, Shuhua motions for the guy to sit on the couch. "I'll be sure to make it quick, please make yourself comfortable." Leander nodded, patiently seated on the couch.

When Shuhua was already out of his sight, he immediately took his phone out to update Soojin.

Minhee couldn't believe that her boss is putting so much effort than she imagine.

"What wine should I prepare Ms. Seo?" Minhee asks as she watch the latter fixing the tableware. Soojin bought some new round table and chairs just for today's lunch. Minhee was even surprised at how fast it was delivered.

Now she wonders if this is really the power of being in love. Is Soojin in love already?

"Pinot Noir is available in my collection." Soojin answered as she smiles in satisfaction.

Neatly putting the food on the table, Soojin sat on her couch feeling tired. She was spontaneously using her card to buy a lot of things just for today's lunch, she doesn't even know how much she spent today.

She'll worry about other things later, she'll just have to wait for Shuhua to arrive now.
