CHAPTER 0153

Anonymous POV

"That idiot." Andie muttered to herself.

"Andie, what did you---" Ruan cut off when Andie stood up aggressively. Surprising him and Ms. Yoon.

"Andie I.. I.." Ruan said, as if he was hesitant to speak. "What is---"

"That idiot!" Andie yelled.

Ms. Yoon stood up.

Ms. Yoon: "Andie, what's wrong?" Ms. Yoon asked as she puts her hand on Andie's shoulder, she's worried. Because Ms. Yoon cares for Andie more than anyone else, and Ms. Yoon knows if there is something wrong to her. And there is, from the very start, there is.

Ms. Yoon: "Andie, bakit?" She asked, firming her hold on her shoulder. Andie looked at her, and when Ms. Yoon saw Andie's face, she froze. Because this is the first she has seen that emotion. The first time.

"M-May I barrow your car?" Andie asked, her voice breaking with emotion. Without a second thought, Ms. Yoon immediately searched for the key in her pocket. And without a word, she handed it her.

"Thank you. I will return it tomorrow."

Ms. Yoon: "I understand."

Andie Lee rushed out of the exit door. Completely forgetting the presence of Ruan. Ruan who in that time, couldn't believe what he saw.

He couldn't believe that the effort he made from pretending to believe the 'potato' excuse - all went to waste.

Gritting his teeth, he watches her from afar as she struggles to find Ms. Yoon's car. She is struggling, even though it is right in front of her. In front of her.

Not wanting to see her struggle any longer, he put on his coat, excused himself from Ms. Yoon and rushed out of the door.

Andie's POV

I have his key. I found his key. His car was parked nearby.

He hates snow, but he was seating outside the gate. And the harsh weather is extremely cold today. Extremely cold.

He hates snow, but he has been sitting there for almost 3 hours.

He hates snow, but its almost 3 hours and he is still waiting for me.

He is purposely waiting for me. He did that on purpose. He was sitting there on purpose. He is.

Anonymous POV

Ruan was standing outside the car, he was there but Andie couldn't feel his presence. He was watching her. He was watching Andie Lee having a hard time as she desperately inserts the key to the car's keyhole. She couldn't do it. He can see how much she wants to start the engine, but she couldn't do it. And she could never do it.

"It's not going to happen, because you are struggling to make the car move forward, as you fight back your tears to move backward." Ruan muttered under his breath.

Feeling sorry for her, he opened the door and went inside the car. He held her hand, stopping her from struggling.

"Let me do it for you." Ruan said softly. When he held her hand, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his heart. Her hands were shaking.

"Let.. let me drive for you." He said, firming her hold on her hand.

"No." She answered strongly as she struggles more.

"Just where are you getting the strength to decline my offer?" He said. Andie suddenly stopped struggling. "I-I'm sorry."

"That's okay."

"I just don't want you to drive yourself out of here in that condition. Please just let me drive you."

"Okay.."
