Chapter 3

The Prime Dance restaurant, it is where most people with high social status spend their time to have dinner and dance with their partner or with random people. Edward Tang's family is tied with the Cho family, they are friends and business partners. General David Cho is Andrea's dad, Esmeralda Cho is her mom, and the chairman of Feng Wei Corporation is Andrea's Grandfather. With their family's wealth, Andrea is sitting in a High-Class restaurant with her friend Edward who is as wealthy as she is. 

Lester took the menu and ordered seafood meal and as for Andrea, she ordered for a western meal. 

"Any drinks?" the waitress asked,

"I would like to have wine," Edward replied, Andrea felt awkward, although Edward is old enough to ask for wine, Andrea is not, 

"I want a big glass of fresh milk please," Andrea answered,

Edward gave out a little chuckle, Andrea was embarrassed, she lowered her head and blushed,

"It's okay Andrea, I'll wait for the day when you can drink wine with me," Edward comforted her with a warm smile on his face,

Andrea felt at ease and so she just sat back and calmly waited for the food. The music band made it easier for Andrea to wait for the food, minutes later, her food was ready to serve. She was about to dig in but when she looked at a different direction, she saw Lester staring at her with a cup of wine in his hands. Andrea felt uncomfortable being stared at while eating. Every bite on her food, she checks on Lester if he's still staring and at her, she checks only to find out that he is still staring. She did that for the whole time that she did not focus on Edward, it is as if Edward wasn't there. Edward realized that something is bothering Andrea and so he did not speak nor ask why she is bothered and just continued eating.

They finished eating, Edward is still in an awkward situation and so he asked Andrea,

"Would you like to dance with me?" 

Andrea's eyes looked away from Lester to Edward. She did not know what Edward said but it was obvious that Edward asked her to dance and so she put her hand on his, they walked through the crowd and started dancing.

The music was so calming and so is Edward's smile. Andrea and Edward is having an eye contact and Lester is seeing it. Edward stopped and spoke,

"Andrea, I was waiting for this moment for the past 4 years in England, when I was there for college, I felt sad and lonely, it is as if I was longing for someone's touch, and I knew it was only your touch that can give warmth to the freezing cold in me. Andrea, all these years of being with me, I hope I was able to capture your affections," 

Andrea was shocked with what Edward said and was unable to speak,

"Andrea, I love you," Lester started to move closer to Andrea, he was about to kiss her when he felt that Andrea was no longer in his arms. He quickly opened his eyes only to see that Andrea was in Lester's arms, 

"What are you doing?" Edward asked him,

"Obviously, I am protecting her from you,"  Lester replied,

"Are you out of your mind? I am simply confessing my love to her, what's the danger in that?" Edward asked furiously,

"The General's words are simple, 'protect Andrea', I am simply doing my job, and also, confessing to her doesn't mean you can kiss her," Lester replied,

Edward went mad and so he pulled Andrea away from Lester's arms, 

"This is none of your business!" Edward shouted,

"Anything that's related to Andrea is my business, so please, let go of Andrea," Lester answered,

Andrea is feeling scared, she wanted to go home because a lot of people is seeing the scene an with her fame, reporters and people will talk about it. 

"Edward, please let me go, I wanna go home now," Andrea pleaded, Edward's angry face went sad, 

"Andrea, I'm so sorry, I promise this won't happen again, please forgive me," Edward asked,

"I forgive you, now let me go," Andrea said in a meek voice,

He loosened his arms and Andrea was able to go to Lester's direction, Lester took of his coat and covered Andrea and walked out of the restaurant to drive her home.

Andrea was scared and so Lester called someone to drive for them and held Andrea in his arms while on they're on their way to Andrea's home. Andrea fell asleep in Lester's arms, and so they arrived at Andrea's place, Lester decided to wake her up, Andrea opened her eyes and they stepped out of the car. Andrea went to her room straight, took a shower and changed. Andrea went downstairs, she thought that Lester went back to the camp but he isn't, 

Andrea just remained silent but Lester spoke,

"How are you feeling?" 

"I'm good, you may return to your camp now," Andrea answered,

Lester turned around and was about to leave but Andrea spoke,

"Umm, thank you, I don't know what to do if you weren't there," 

Lester looked back and replied with a smile,

"You're welcome," 

 That night was hard for Andrea, she went out her room and drank milk to help her fall asleep, but she already went out her room and drank milk three times and so she decided to just stay in the kitchen and think. But what exactly is she thinking about? All what happened earlier flashed in her memories, from when she saw Lester staring to when Lester took her in the car, it felt like a scene from a drama movie, while thinking, she blushed, it really felt like she was in a drama movie where two males fight for the girl they like. But then she remembered Lester's words,          "I am simply doing my job," Andrea frowned and decided to go back in her room and just sleep it out. In the morning, the moment she turned on the television what surprised her is the news,

"The Young Master Tang confessed his feelings for Miss Cho, could it be that the Tang and Cho families would be tied up with a marriage?" 

Andrea was shocked, she didn't feel like going out even though she's out of black thread. And so she decided to just look up the news on the internet, and there she saw a photo of her being in Lester's arms and a lot of people are fighting over it. Andrea was embarrassed, until someone knocked on the door, it was Lester and he gave her a ride to the camp and have a word with her dad.
