There is party going on. Glad that I had Sofia too look after Elsa after she stubbornly insisted on coming for my appointment, I stare down at my dress and shrug.
Glancing around for the familiar face, five large fingers appear in the air waving and signalling for me to come. When I see his face, I smile.

Lee Soo Hyuk, age 36
It is Mr. Lee Soo Hyuk, my business partner. He is also from Korea. Majestically, I walk towards him hoping we can have at least thirty minutes for the scheduled minute before I book the next available flight back to Korea. Considering my new partnersip, I know I won't be stable in Australia for now.
Five years is long time. Not for the contract but it is a long time to be going back and forth and seeing the face of the man who left me on the sidewalk of life with a choke growing inside of me. I really wish I had the balls to tell him I am no longer interested in the partnership, stop going to Seoul and pretend as if we never saw each other.
Perhaps, I will consider getting the balls if only I can land myself another partnership here in Australia through Mr. Lee.
"Hello, Mrs. Kim!" Soo-hyuk opens his arm for me to embrace. Awkwardly, I embrace him with a smile on my face. I do not know how many people know I am not married or how many people believed that I am but I know a lot of the men I have had business to do business with in the past would have hit on me.
Most of them stop when I am being referred to as Mrs.
Soo-hyuk is one of them.
"Hello, I never knew there was a party going on. You should have told my secretary so we could reschedule." I mutter my concern. If I knew, I wouldn't have been in haste to come back. He wanted the meeting not to be postponed.
"I'm so sorry. I have a business trip tomorrow and I don't quite know when I will be back." He states heading me away from his cliques, his right hand on my back. I nod in understanding. I should have known he had his reasons. Suddenly, he halts as someone approach. The man looks familiar but I can't place where I know him from.
