Paiming's Proposal

Two weeks later,

It's very cloudy today. The dark and sunless sky making the mood very gloomy. It seemed like rain will occur at any moment. Tina is standing at the front of a window in Jim Chin's apartment. She is feeling very miserable and lonely. Her contract with Jim Chin was ended yesterday so now she had nothing to do with him. She finally got her freedom back but still she is very upset about something. Her heart was aching but she couldn't understanding her feeling. Her small pink coloured suitcase was packed and was kept at the door. She is looking at that dark sky in the hope that the sun of new spirits and hopes will rise again someday.

After few minutes of thinking, she took out her phone and called Yi Kuan, "Hello, Mr. Kuan. I'm Tina Tung." Her voice was so heavy. She was looking very depressed and lonely. "Please tell Jim Chin" She suddenly stopped for a moment at this point and little drops of tears are appeared at the corner of her eyes. "My deal with him expires today. I will leave this house."

Yi Kuan got astonished and also little frightened because if Tina left the apartment before Jim will return, then Jim will be very angry and also upset at the same time. So he tried to stop her, "Jim is still in the UK. Why not tell him when he is back?" A drop of sweat rolled from his forehead when he was saying this. But Tina was not in the condition of listening anything so she declined his offer, "No, it's only a one-month deal. I'll leave once it is due."

"Please tell him I've fulfilled my promise. He should also keep his."

"Tina, wait, hey, Tina...." Yi Kuan tried very to stop her but she hung the call before he could say any further. And she started to move to the main door, where her suitcase was kept. Many thoughts are coming in her head. 'Tina Tung, you get rid of....'

'....Jim Chin from today on!' She put her one hand on the handle of the door and grabbed the handle of her suitcase with her other hand, 'Forget everything about him!' Her hands were shaking. She had many doubts in her mind, 'And start a new life!'

She put a confident look on her face and atlast opened the door of the apartment and the door of her new life, 'Come on! Tina!'

~Six month later~

Winter has arrived but it is not much cold today. The temperature is normal and cold breezes are flowing. The leaves are falling from their branches, most of the tree are already dried up and their leaves are fallen from their branches.

At Tina's old apartment,

Tina is on the call with her best friend Ching Fang and also working on her laptop at the same time. She is wearing round shaped spectacles and was looking very mature, elegant and more gorgeous then before. Her aura is very different now, she looks very confident and serious then before. She had changed a lot in these six months.

"Hey, Tina, what are you doing?"

"I'm sending some internship CV. There're good companies, I'd like to give it a go." She replied while typing something on her laptop.

"You can do it! Your performance and qualification should attract those companies! If only I could be you!" Ching Fang is really happy for Tina because Tina faced a lot of difficulties on her own in these six months and she ranked at the first in her university too and just graduated with excellent results.

"That's what I should say!" Suddenly a thought flashed in Tina's mind and she said while removing her spectacles with a devilish smile, "Mr. Chi has proposed to you. When will you marry him?" It was kind a miracle that the CEO of Zhang group proposed an ordinary girl like Ching Fang but he really likes her but Ching Fang didn't replied to his proposal yet.

"Marrying him? Stop kidding me. Tina!" Ching Fang got flustered and tried to avoid the question. Suddenly the door bell of Tina's apartment started ringing, "Tring..... Tring....!"

"Hold on a second, Ching, someone is knocking the door."

"Here I am." Tina was lost in Ching Fang conversation that she carelessly opened the door without even looking from the keyhole.

Ming was at the door. He got astonished on seeing her gorgeous face because Tina was avoiding him since last six months and he finally saw her face after so long. Her face was glowing like a pearl in the golden rays of the sun and Ming was totally lost in her beauty for a second.

"Ming, it's you!" She said with a surprised look. He snapped out of his thoughts and a big smile appeared on his face, "Hi! Tina!"

"I've just dropped by and come to visit you."

He was hesitanting and hiding something, "Do.. Do you have time? I've got a lot to tell you." Tina was looking in Ming's eyes while holding her cellphone between her breasts.

"Ah....." Tina forgot that Ching Fang is still on the call and Ching Fang yelled when she heard Ming's word and she continued, "She has a lot of time!"

Tina immediately said to Ching Fang with a little blushing on her face, "Ching, it's not funny!" Then Tina hung up the phone, "Ming, give me a second."

"OK."

~15 minutes later. At the Hen-Sung park~

Ming and Tina were walking together. "Tina, I've just been appointed as the regional GM."

He said while looking at Tina's adorable face with a smile. "I'd like to share this with you immediately." Ming was in the romantic mood. His behaviour was different and he was trying to tell her something.

"Really? Fantastic! Good job!" She knows that he was trying to say something and by looking at his behaviour it must be something awkward, so she is trying to avoid that conversation, "Let's celebrate your appointment! I will treat you." She said while laughing awkwardly.

"No. What I wanna say is not this! I want to tell you..." He stopped at this point and his cheeks became fully red and after a long breath the words finally came out from his mouth, "I love you. Tina!"
