1. I'm Her Husband

Xiao Corporation...

Liu Huo sits on his desk chair, facing the big window as he rest his chin on top of his right hand. He couldn't get the image of Halle out of his head. He lets out a sigh. (It seems she didn't know about Kun's death...yet she admit to the crime that she didn't commit...Just what is going on?..)

He turns around and page his secretary, Ivan, to come into the office. Few minutes later, there's a knock on the door. Ivan then enters the office, closed the door behind him. "Boss, you need something?" He looks up at Ivan and said, "I want every information in every detail about the hit-and-run case that Halle admit what she did."

Ivan nods. "Understood." Ivan turns his heels and walks out of the office. Liu Huo lets out another sigh. He looks at the photo which was standing on top of his desk. A photo of him and Kun. (Kun...tell me who did this to you?)

...

Halle sits on the bench as she puts the helmet next to her. She thinks about life. About the future. About Kun. She bit her lower lip, regretting the moment when she admit the crime that she didn't commit. She lets another sigh out as she leans against the bench, looking up at the clear sky.

"Halle"

She turns around and it was Meg. "Meg."

Meg sits next to Halle. Meg said, "I heard from my father and my brothers that you will be joining the car race this week."

Halle nods. "Mhm."

"Will you be alright? I mean, I believe you'll do fine; however, it's very death-threatening."

Halle smiles. "I'm not afraid of death."

Meg turns to Halle. "Halle."

Halle looks down at her hands for a bit and looks at Meg. She smiles. "I'll be fine. Don't worry."

Meg opens her mouth and was about to say something; however, Halle excuses herself. Meg closes her mouth and watch her best friend leave. "...You're just punishing yourself..."

Halle resumes her training. Lui Huo arrives to the race tracks. Jing notices his boss so he comes towards him to greet him. "Master."

"Where is she?"

"She's racing at the moment."

"Which one is she?"

Jing points at the yellow race car. Liu Huo watches Halle from afar. Half an hour later, Halle pulls over to take a break. Someone from her team comes towards her. "Halle."

Halle looks up. "What is it, Nina?"

Nina hesitates.

"Nina?"

"Um...it's just that man is here again. He wanted to meet with you."

Halle's eyes drops down on the ground, thinking of what to do.

...

Mr. Cao comes out of the tent and notices Liu Huo. He walks up to Liu Huo. "Mr. Xiao."

Liu Huo turns around and sees Mr. Cao. "Mr. Cao."

"I apologize I didn't greet you earlier. I didn't know you're here."

"No need to apologize."

"Do you need anything?"

He looks at Halle. "Actually I do." He looks back at Mr. Cao. "I want to recruit your driver, Halle."

Mr. Cao wasn't surprised. He nods. "Halle is my best driver; however, you need to ask her approval for joining your company. If she refuse, please don't take it too hard."

Liu Huo takes the challenge, he smiles, "I would like to meet her."

Mr. Cao nods. He turns around and spots Halle. "Halle."

Halle snaps back in reality and looks up. She sees Mr. Cao. She turns to Nina. "Tell him, I won't see him." Nina nods and left.

Halle walks up to Mr. Cao. "Uncle, what is it?"

Mr. Cao introduces Halle to Liu Huo. Halle politely nods to Liu Huo. Mr. Cao said, "Mr. Xiao here wants to recruit you to his company."

Halle was about to decline, however, she got interrupts by the voice from Donny. "Halle!" Mr.Cao, Liu Huo, and Halle turns around. Halle knits her brows as soon as she sees Donny. Nina who was behind Donny, breathing hard. "I apologize, Halle. I tried to stop him."

Donny takes Halle's hand. "Halle. Let's talk."

Halle removes her hand away from his grasp. She remains calm and said, "There's nothing to talk about."

"There is. Please."

Mr. Cao shakes in anger. He gets in between Halle and Donny. "You sure have guts to come here."

"Uncle."

"I'm not your uncle! I never liked you from the start. I knew you and your mother are bad news to my Halle."

Donny ignores Mr. Cao and looks at Halle. "Halle..Listen I--"

Halle finally opens her mouth. "...That day, did you run into Kun?"

"W-What?"

Donny got flustered. Halle turns to him. He flinch. "H-Halle."

Halle found the answer. (He did run into Kun.) She looks away and said, "Roii." Roii, a loyal security guard, steps up. "Escort him out." Halle was about to walk away. Donny shouts, "Halle. Let's get married!"

Roii stands in front of Donny, blocking him to see Halle. Halle stops her tracks as she heard his proposal. She turns around and walks up to him. He smiles, "Halle, let's get married."

Halle opens her mouth and said, "I won't be marrying you."

Donny was shocked. "H-Halle. Why?"

She walks a little bit closer to him. "I never tend to marry you."

"Halle..if its about you being a felony, I'll.."

Halle cuts in. "Reputation is all you care about, huh?"

"Halle."

She looks away and said, "What makes you think I care what others might say about me?" She looks at him. "To me, reputation is just garbage."

"Halle, that's not--"

"I don't care what you say. I'll say this again. I don't tend to marry you."

Donny walks pass Roii and face Halle. "Did you forget our promise?"

Halle chuckles and asks, "Promise? Don't tell me you believe me when I said those words?"

Donny grabs her by the collar. "Halle!"

Liu Huo steps in and puts his hand on Donny's to remove his hand away from Halle. Liu Huo glares at him. Donny glares back at Liu Huo. "Mind your business."

"Her business is my business."

Donny scoffs. "Just who the heck do you think you are?"

Liu Huo looks behind him and sees Halle being annoyed by Donny's presence. He looks at Donny. He puts his hand around her shoulder which causes her to flinch. She looks up at Liu Huo. "Who am I? I'm her husband."
