CHAPTER 0110

Andie's POV

"Ms. Lee?" I said to myself as I tuck the spoon into my mouth. I was watching the television but none of it registered into my mind. I was eating ice cream, but I can't taste the flavor. My mind is occupied with the thoughts of Mr. Alfonso Lee(A.K.A Mr. Hoodie).

He just called me Ms. Lee after I called him Mr. Lee, which throws me into confusion. Did he call me Miss Lee because he already knows I am Andie Lee after seeing my magazines, or did he call me Ms. Lee because he is teasing me again with the better half/wife thing?

I never thought my last name would give me such a hard time.

Sa mga nagtatanong kung bakit hindi man lang ako nag-aalinlangan na baka kamag-anak ko si Hoodie since we have the same last name..

Well, actually, ni minsan, hindi pumasok sa isip ko that we are related to each other, not because I hate him or I like him, but because 'Lee' is common 'Family Name' in Korea.

According to a reliable source, 'as of 2000, there are about 286 Korean Family Names that are in use', so it's not really something to be surprised about if you hear people with common last names being married to each other - unlike in the Philippines.

And more importantly, he does not look Korean to me so I am not really bothered. I am also not Korean by the way.

"You are thinking too much, Andie." I said as I circle the spoon inside the ice cream container. Then I realized, the container is half-full. When I realized I ate too much, bigla akong nilamig! God, I'm crazy! Late receiver na rin itong katawan ko!

"I need to drink something hot, or else, pagagalitan nanaman ako ni Hoodie pag sinipon ako."

I stood up. Then I stopped half-way through the kitchen when I realized what I just said.

Sigh.

"This is bad."

Mark's POV

"M..mr. President!" I yelled. Nagulat ako ng nakita ko siyang nakaupo sa sofa. He looks disturbed - again.

I watched him closely, and yes, he is still wearing one - A HEADBAND.

It was not the same headband I tied on his head to hide the 'PERVERT' word. It was a different PINK headband. Yes, it's pink. Can you believe it?

Nagtaka pa siya nang bigla kong sinigaw ang 'Leave his body you evil spirit!' habang pinag-cross ko ang mga kamay ko nang nakita ko siyang suot-suot and pink na headband. Tsk, masisisi niya ba ako? Eh simula nung dumating kami dito sa Korea eh palagi na siyang mukhang possessed!

"Secretary Lopez, call Director Choi and tell him to meet me at the office after lunch." He said then he immediately went inside his room.

Nang nasigurado kong nakapasok na siya sa loob ng kwarto niya, saka ako nag-celebrate! Bakit!? Kasi tinawag niya akong 'Secretary Lopez' at hindi Mark Lopez or Sebastian! Ibig sabihin, hindi na ako sesente!

Yehey!!!!

Mark's POV

At exactly 1:00 pm, everyone gathered at Director Choi's office. The atmosphere was not as heavy as it was compared to the first time we went here. There is something about him today - it's as if he is sad or something. The lights are even dimmed. Jeez, it's almost as if he is hiding his bruised face. Then I realized - Oo nga pala, he has a bruised face, that must be his reason for diming the light.
