Tom and Anna remained silent in the car, Anna stared outside, looking at the trees and lights

Tom notices that Anna seems quite

"Hey!" he broke the ice between them "Are you mad at me," he asked while driving

she looked at him

And Anna caught him

"No, no, don't mind me" she answered him and looked away

"Okay," he said and continued driving

"you know what I'm just wondering, why does Lolo disagree with your relationship with her?"

"What?" he wondered "How did.."

"I am sorry if I asked that kind of question" she tried to laugh and looked at him " I ughh randomly thinking about " she stuttered

" It's okay, I don't know also" he answered

" Mildred is nice and pretty, so what else he's looking for... she seems close to your family " she continued asking "If he doesn't allow you both, have you thought that.... you know... secret marriage " she added

"And since when did you become interested in my relationship," he asked

"Well..." Anna can't answer, she scratched her head and secretly bit her lower lip to zip her mouth "I'm sorry " she continued and ground her teeth and frowned looking at him

Tom messy her hair by using his right hand. " it's okay!..." he said and continued driving

Anna fixed her hair "You always do that " she criticized him

"Because you're my little sister," he said

Anna sighed and stared outside the window

after several minutes, they arrived at the subdivision, Tom parked in front of the subdivision,

Anna tried to remove her seatbelt

"Let me help you," Tom said

"No!, I can do it," she said

"Come on, I will do that" he insisted

Anna looked up at him, she suddenly hit their head

"Ouch !" they both whine and hold on their forehead

" I told you I could do it " she raised her voice

"Hey, what is wrong with you, I'm just trying to help you! " Tom wondered

"Then don't,I don't need your help"

" Hey..." he interrupted her

"Don't treat me like a young girl or a kid, I can do that... or Don't try to put any food on my plates, pour a wine in my glass, don't mess my hair " she's whining "I don't like it" she continued

" so you are mad at me because of that, alright, I'll never do that again, so you don't need to raise your voice, I'm older than you " he interrupted her

"tsk" she clicked her tongue " I don't care " She got out and closed the door

"What?" he asked and got out

Anna ran away

"My goodness, this child, you're stubborn " he murmured while shaking his head and driving off

********************************

AnnaPOV:

" haisssst" she hissed "What I am doing?" She asked herself "I'm so mean!" She continued talking to herself and took a deep breath, " That is okay, so we will not be going close, and he will be disappointed in me" she explained and she inhaled and exhaled

Anna opened the door, her sibling Sarah having dinner... alone,

"Oh... where are they ?" she asked and sat on the empty chair

" date" she replied

"oh!" she stood up and she took the plate, fork, and spoon

"Why are you late ?" she asked

she shrugs her shoulders "Nothing just going somewhere"

Sarah continued eating, while Anna sat on her next and joined with her

after that Anna washed the dishes, and Sarah sat on the chair, waiting to finish her elder sister

"I think Ate is going to marry soon," she said

"mm, why did you say that ?" she's putting the utensils in the drying dish

"Well they have a stable job and I think it's time to have a niece or nephew," she said

"Hahaha" Anna laughed " Ughh I'm tired" and she hugged her sister " Please carry me, I want a piggyback " Anna requested

" as if I can carry you, go find someone else who can carry you " she stood up and walked away "Bleeh" Sarah said and ran the upstairs

Anna ran after her

" Can I sleep in your room?" she asked permission

" No!" she said

"Aw! That's hurt, I miss sleeping beside you," she said

" Sorry but I don't miss that " she replied

she lay down on her bed and after a couple of minutes, she climbed down on the bed

"Oh! I thought you were going to sleep in here " Sarah asked

Anna turned around "Really ?" she replied

"Oh, I changed my mind," she said "Joke!" she continued

Anna ran to her room, washed and changed her clothes, and came back to her sister's room with a pillow. She jumped in bed, lay down, and fell asleep after.

The next morning Tom went to the company

He went upstairs, to his father's office. Seems the staff of the company was excited to meet him and see him again, he has a lot of admirers in that company, so everyone was excited to hear about him.

"Glad you came " his father greeted him and covered the mouthpiece of the telephone

Tom sat down on the couch, he kept listening to his father's conversation with someone on the other line

Tom picked up the magazine on the center table, he tried to scan every page of it and his father's secretary came in withholding a tray, she put the tray on the table. He felt hungry when his stomach grew inside.

Tom opened the bottle of water and drank, and later he ate the sandwich

After having a conversation, his father sat couch in front of him

" Here's the key" Tom gave the key

"I thought you were not coming," he said and took the key " So are you ready?" He asked

" There are two vacant here, Marketing department or in Admin..." Marvin asked "You need to choose, " he added

"I think I'll go to the marketing department " he answered

"Alright!, I think there are a few changes in the marketing department since you left, anyway they will let you know about that" Marvin Said " Do I need to tour you in that department "

" no need Pa!" He said " I'm going later" he continued

" I renovated that room based on your style because the last marketing head was old-fashioned, so Papa decided to change that room "

"Chairman Yang?" He asked

"Don't call him like that, like a stranger" His father commanded him "You will hurt his feelings " he continued

Tom smirked

" by the way How's Anna, did you send her last night," he asked

He nodded "Umm speaking of that, it seems she's mad at me"

"Ohh why?" He wondered "What happened "

"I don't know, but she seemed uneasy last night " he wondered

"Ohh maybe because you bullied her too much"

Tom shrugged his broad shoulders

Marvin studied him

" do you like her? "

"What kind of question is that?" He asked

"Well, last night you two seemed close and ..."

" is not what you think Pa, " he interrupted "She's like a little sister to me, and she knows that," he explained

"Okay" Marvin replied "Maybe, she's thinking something else," he said

"Well maybe but she told me that she doesn't like the way I treated her" he drank water

" to be a little sister?"

"Mm I don't think so"

Marvin chuckled "seems you are starting worried about her"

"Ugh! Come on Pa, I told you, it's nothing special " he explained

"Alright, let her be, and don't mind her" his father advised and he smiled

After he finished his food, Tom went to the Marketing department. He is the new head of that department, her secretary has given him the files since he left.

" It's true" he walked to his chair and sat down " and he's perfect on that job"

"I agree"

"So tell me, how's his a relationship with Anna"

" Mm about that, they seem close but you know him, he's personality, he's sweet... and he treated her as a little sister"

" he will fall in love with that woman" Chairman Yang reassure

" I think Anna will do anything that Tom will never fall for her"

Chairman Yang wondered

" she distant herself," Marvin noticed

"Mm" chairman Yang sighed " I'm sure she will do that"

They both stood up and went outside of the room,

"You want to see him?" Marvin asked

"No!" Chairman Yang responded "let him do whatever he wants, make sure he didn't skip the dinner"

Marvin nodded

He sends his father to the elevator

"Take care Pa, " he said

"You too!" and he pressed the floor where the parking lot

" whew, my goodness, mama's cooking is the best in the world "

"I know, I fell in love because of that"

They both laughed "you should marry a woman who fills your empty stomach " he advised

"Hmm, Mildred knows how to cook, I will probably marry her someday," he said

Marvin cough after he heard him

Tom suddenly gave him a water

"Are you okay?" He asked

Marvin drank the water "Yes yes, thank you "he said " I'm sorry " he said

" someone remembered you?"

" your mama" he replied

And they both chuckled
