" hey I'll get some supplies over there, lets meet at the checkout counter in an hour ok?" Dhezzy said as she stride towards fresh produce.
Its almost midnight and they are inside the 24 hour grocery store near the condo. She walk leisurely as she check out for supplies.
They delivered the crunch bars on time and she was in a relaxation mode. She told Dhezzy to decline any future orders from them. Her friend just shrug her shoulders.
She has to move on. She know that. Leaving him without any word has hurt her deeply but she has entertained hopes that Min will tell Yonghwa the truth. She was hoping that once he find out the truth why she left, he will look for her.
But he didnt. He spent his nights in bars dancing with other girls while she cried in her apartment in Manhattan. Then, when he found out where she was working he told her supervisor to trap her.
She filled her shopping basket with supplies and paid for it. The bagger push her cart and assisted her in placing the bags inside the trunk of her car.
She went to the nearest cafe to wait for Dhezzy she still has 15minutes and she spent it drinking her favorite beverage.
" cafe americano for Yonghwa!"
The barista called and she froze. Surely, its not her Yonghwa? Shes in LA and hes in the Philippines getting ready for his upcoming engagement party tomorrow.
She steadied her nerves and turn slowly to the counter just as Yonghwa reach for the coffee. She held her breath. She turn away so he wouldnt see her.
He is wearing a three piece suit. The black suit was slung on his arms while the white long sleeve shirt was opened halfway his chest.
She was thinking on how she can get out without him noticing. He turned to the countet and ordered a muffin. She sighed with relief. She took her pouch and with drink in her hand she walk towards the exit.
She almost made it out the door when she heard a familiar voice.
" Pauline!"
She mentally cursed. She tried to walk out but Dhezzy called her again.
" Pauline wait up!"
She turned around hoping Yonghwa didnt hear her friend. But who is she kidding.
She found herself looking at Yonghwa as he look at her. His face showing surprise then anger. She flinch.
" Lets go home I just bought my favorite bagel and cheese. " Dhezzy said. She stopped talking when she notice Pauline's face. She look back and she gasp just as Yonghwa approach them. His eyes never leaving Pauline's.
" hello Pau. Did you miss me?"
