Anna woke up early in the morning and took a bath after, she was ready going to school, Her sister Sarah waiting downstairs.

After an hour, they arrive at the University,

"yo!"Shania called her while walking in the hallway

"how's your date?"

Anna stopped and waited for her

she shrugs her shoulder "It's not a date"

"öhhh really ..." Shania asked "he is your type... I could still remember him..."

Anna laughed "Stop, it's not what you think?" she interrupted "He might be my type..or let's say...he's my ideal man but he's not the guy," she said while walking upstairs

"bad" Shania sighed "What happened?" she asked

"he called me a slut...mistress" she's whining

"oh dear! That harsh...does he even know you're still a virgin" she whispered

Anna looked at her "ahh come on that's not an issue" Anna said "He's so mean" she added

Shania took a deep breath and "You know what... you don't deserve him...there's a lot of fish in the sea...so don't lose hope "

Anna smiled "That's not my point gurl" Anna resisted "How come he said that to me...ahh he ruined my day"

" he said, he's a family friend?" She was intrigued

"No! Not a super-duper family friend," she replied

" Hmmm, I thought he was the one"

" my goodness he's not, he's rude!!!"

" mm LQ???? "

" LQ?? Love quarrel, no it's not, how come it's LQ, we're not dating duh" Anna rolled her eyes

Shania nodded "Right... I know but I just want you to cheer up "she explained "I know you are not allowed to have a boyfriend until you both graduated your college" she continued and sat down on their seats "Hey are you sure that Sarah, don't have a boyfriend ... look her friends are men...I mean most of them are men"

Anna looked at her "Of course I know her "she answered and opened her notes "If she wanted to have a boyfriend then... it's her choice, not mine" she continued

"Whoah, does anyone courting her?"

"No one, "she replied

"Guess what, she and her best friend Paolo are perfect for each other "

Anna smiled "She likes him"

"What?" she was shocked

"yeah!" she quickly responded "OMG! Does he know it?"

Anna nodded "he confessed," she said

"öh my goodness, and then what ?"

"Stay friends,... "

"friends with benefits ?"Shania laughed

"I don't know, but I can assure you ... it's only a friend...for now..."

A few moments later, their professor came, and their class started after quizzes. after five hours tackling medical surgical nursing. They had a lunch break, Anna and her friends went to the school canteen.

"Hi," Kevin smiled

"Oh oh !"Shania whispered,

"How are you ?" Kevin asked

"I'm good" Anna answered and smiled

"Good!... Have a good day! Anna" he said and walked away with her girlfriend

"Ouch!"Shania teased her "he greeted you while her girlfriend is waiting outside, and boom!"

Anna shook her head while holding the tray

"What he wants?"Shania asked her

"he greets me that is all, and no malice..he's being a friendly person"

"ohh friendly, "she asked her

"he's fuck boy "Frej interrupted

"What?"Anna laughed

"Boom" Shania said "it's true and you're the next target" Shania pointed her

"And where are you from... you skip our morning class," she asked Frej

"Boyfriend issue" they both sighed "Now I know why your father doesn't allow you to have a boyfriend Anna" Anna laughed

After an hour, all of them went back to their classroom and their professor continued to tackle medical-surgical nursing. It took four hours again.

After class Anna went home, She went to the supermarket store nearby, Half an hour after while she was walking toward the mall door, a guy came to help her open the door.

"Hello Anna" Tom faked his smile and waved to her

Anna raised her eyebrows and snubbed him, she walked away

"What are you doing here?"Anna

"It's a mall I want to have a coffee here.. why not"

"Tsk "Anna said and walked away toward the driveway

"Hey," Tom followed her "I'm sorry and I know I Offended you... Can I say I'm sorry "He asked

"No!" she said and continued walking

After a few seconds,  Anna saw her elder sister Karen coming from her work, and they were walking toward the Mall. Anna wanted to confirm that her elder sister is dating her colleague,

"Ohhh no! No! " she said

She ran toward Tom.

"Cover me, "Anna asked

Tom turned around "What?" he asked confusingly"

"My sister is coming, I wanted to confirm that they are already dating or not..."She explained to Tom "Come... I am going to hide ?" she asked

"Here!"Tom pulled her into the Dark area in the parking lot" Tom Held her hands

they are both busy looking at Karen

"Is she your sister?"

"Yes" she proudly said

Tom nodded " She doesn't look like you, she's pretty, "

"Pssst.... I know" she hissed

Karen and her colleague walked while holding their hands after they passed on the parking area

Anna looked at Tom

"It confirmed," she said while giggling

"How did you say that," Tom asked

"holding their hands "

"Ahhh like this "Tom lifted their hands while asking her, Anna pulled her hands

"hush "Anna interrupted him

they walked through the driveway,

and so, if they are dating?"Tom asked her

"Nothing, I am happy, because finally, she had a boyfriend "

"Wow... is that kind of achievement or what ?"

Anna sighed "Yes!... because finally, they're fine, their relationship is like on and off before..."

"Ohh " Tom glared

"and that guy is her first boyfriend..." she stopped walking and looked up at him "And why am I talking to you ?" she asked

Tom smiled

"Ï am supposed to be mad at you and we're not friends, why do I need to explain and tell you about my sister's love life "

" I don't know but we're friends right," he asked while he messy her hair

Anna felt strange to Tom, she felt something struck on her chest

"What are you doing? Anna asked

"bleehh" Anna said while her tongue out and suddenly turned around and continued walking "Don't follow me, my goodness"

Tom walked behind her and suddenly, he took her stuff "Let me help you "he said and continued walking. Anna paused and 

"Hey!" She shouted

"Hurry up! " He replied and waiting for her

Anna sighed and smiled "haissst!" She hissed and ran toward him 

" by the way, did you block me on Instagram?"Tom ask

Anna stopped for a moment and

"Yes,,, I did" she embarrassed answered him

"Mmm, ..."

"How did you know? " Anna asked feeling ashamed but she was curious about it

" Mildred and I talked about you last night, she said she started following you in Instagram and tagging you in one of her photos, so I " he stuttered

"Because you're rude!" She excuses

"What?!" He replied, "RUDE?"

"YES!" She answered "Because you said those things, do you know how hurt it was"

"I'm sorry, that is why I'm here"

" ah so you came here just to say I'm sorry," she said "Wow I'm impressed "

"HahahaAHAHA" he sarcastically laughed "Seriously I want to apologize...." he added

"Mm," Anna shortly replied, "How is she?" She changed her topic because she was feeling awkward toward him after the issue

"She's fine, she flew back to Paris last Thursday, and next week she will be here "

"Okay, " she said " I uh I need to go," Anna said

"Yeah sure," Tom said and he gave her a couple of plastic bags of groceries.

"Thank you," Anna said and left

Tom grinned and "Oh dear why did you ask her ... did you block me?" He repeated it again to himself

"Ughh, are you out of your mind Tom? " he continued talking to himself

"Really?" Sarah stopped sweeping on the floor and went to The Kitchen "They're reunited " she continued

" but they didn't see me, I hid," she said starting to cut the onions and garlic and even the ginger.

" do you really think he is the one? " Sarah asked

"Only God knows..." she answered while putting the chopped onions and garlic in the boiling oil in a casserole. " maybe he is" she continued

Sarah left and continued sweeping the floor, while Anna was busy cooking their dinner.

A few moments Dianne came with her boyfriend Jayson

Dianne invited Jayson to sit on the maroon couch, she went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and she offered him a drink.

Jayson drank the water and gave it back to Dianne. She went back to the kitchen and asked what is their viand,

" Look who's that I saw, in the mall this late afternoon " Anna gossip

"Who?" She's interested to hear

"It's ate Karen, with Ben... they're holding hands, with interlacing their fingers," she said

"Wow, finally... LOVE IS SWEETER IN A SECOND TIME AROUND" Dianne happily said

After a few minutes, Anna prepared their dinner, They're having dinner when their sister Karen came with Ben.

"Ahem" Sarah cleared her throat when Karen came

They looked at them

The couple smiled at them

"Wow!! Congrats!" Dana congratulate them

"Ice cream....ice cream !" Anna teasing them

An hour later all of them eat an ice cream they've ordered online.

After dinner, Sarah and Anna went upstairs,

Anna lay on Sarah's bed,

"How's your exam?" She asked

"Good" she replied

Anna positioned herself prone.

"How's your relationship with Paolo?" She asked

Sarah wondered "And what about us?" She sat on the edge of bed

"I'm just curious about your love story.."

"With Pao?"

Anna nodded

"Just friend.... that is all, he is willing to wait". She answered

"Soooo meaning there is touchy touchy.."

"Ewwww!" She answered quickly "That is not included, were common friends....that is all, we are neither dating nor in a relationship, he knew that I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend, and he respected that"

"Mmm" she responded

"And since when were you interested in my love life," Sarah asked wondering

"Of course I do, some of my friends asking about you" she replied

"Most of our professors asked the same question, even our seniors and freshman," she said

Anna smiled" Seems you're the famous one," she said "A lot of students were interested in your love story...maybe you will be the queen and he will be the king next prom"

" oh no" she walked away to her desk "You know me, I'm not interested in that, hmmm Shania is prettier, I think she's the right person for that "

Anna smiled "Alright!" She said and got up on bed

Sarah studied her " hmmm and you?"

"Me?? And what about me?" She wondered

" I heard Kevin is dating now with someone else, I heard she's from Mass Com," she said

Anna laughed " OMG!! Your late on that gossip"

Sarah smirk

" yes, she's eating and I'm fine" she replied

"Really?"

"You know me"

"Alright alright " Sarah replied

Anna smiled and went back to her room

Chairman Yang and Marvin talking in the study room

"Do we need to tell him right away?" Marvin asked

"No! " Chairman Yang said

"When will you going to tell him?" He was curious "Mildred is now in Paris, maybe it's time to let him know"

"No not this time, you need to convince him first to work in the company "

"Are you sure about that?" He doubted

Chairman Yang looked distressed "This is the only way..." he said

"Anna knew about the contract we made, I uh already told her "

" Did you prime her?...., what did she say?"

" she doesn't want to, but I know she will accept my offer soon "

"Pa, the three of them will hurt, are you willing to sacrifice their feelings for the sake of the company, they will curse you "

Chairman Yang no respond, but he took a deep breath

" Tom needs to come back to the company "

" I will try to persuade him," Marvin said

" I heard Daniel is coming next summer," Marvin told him

"Yes, I know that, and he is the next in line, People will choose him because he is more capable than Tom"

Daniel is easy to talk to, that is why a lot of them choose him over Tom, He is mature and goal-oriented " Marvin stood up and "How I wished this would end so soon " he left

Chairman Yang stood up and wondered if he's doing right because the lives of these three people might change on a piece of paper
