Chapter: Instinct

"Anna" Tom murmured " Hey!" What are you doing here?" He's walking toward her

" I ah! ....Am" Anna stuttered and she suddenly smiled at him

" long time no see!" He said and trying to messy her hair

Anna move backward when she saw Tom's trying to touch her head

" Oh!, I almost forgot, you don't like that"

" by the way, I am sorry on that day" she mumbled

"What?" He teased her " you're too small, I didn't hear you!" He continued "

"I said I'm sorry," she said and she stared at him

Tom smiled and he leaned forward to close in Anna's face. His gazed become wary and speak softly

"What are you doing here? "

Anna's eyes widened and she suddenly hold her breath, Her heartbeat was too fast and she slowly step backward

" Lolo ammm" she stutter and scratched her head " he offered me a job" she explained

"A job?" He asked and stood straight " tell me which department are you in?" He asked " don't tell me you're a sexytary" he teased her

"Blah blah blah" Anna replied

"I am a clinical nurse" She humbly said

"Ohhh, company nurse!" He corrected her

"Yeah, you're right... company nurse" she repeated

"Wow!! Good to hear that?" He asked, "So where are you going now?"

"Going home" she replied

"Do you like to come with me, I'm sure my mother would love to see you again" he invited him

"No... I uh" she declined

"Tsk!, " Tom hissed "come on..." Tom pulled her through his mother coffee shop

Anna can't let go of Tom's grip, He is stronger than her, he's 6'2 feet tall while Anna is only 5feet tall. He is fit while Anna is petite.

At the coffee shop

They sat down on the corner, the 90's music played, the aroma of the coffee was intoxicating for her, she inhaled and slowly closed her eyes.

Anna is a coffee lover.

Tom went to the counter and made an order for them.

After a minute he came back.

" my mother went to her friend, she's not in here" he explained

Minutes later, Mildred came and Anna saw her, Mildred gave her a sign to keep quiet And so she leisurely walked toward behind Tom, she suddenly covered his eyes.

"Hey!" Tom shockingly said, he held Mildred's hand, he knows his girlfriend's scent. " Babe" he chuckled

Mildred removed her hands from Tom's eyes, and she giggled

Tom turned around and suddenly hug her

"Oh my God!! Babe!" He missed her

And they kissed

" I miss you too" Mildred replied

"How did you know that I was here," Tom asked

"Well I saw you both," she said

And They both looked at Anna, she seemed so excited for them.

" Anna!" Mildred greeted her" how are you?" She asked "it's been a long time"

" I am fine, thank you, how about you?"

"Great, "she replied " it's good to see you again"

Mildred sat next to her and Tom stood behind his girlfriend while holding their hands

Anna felt shy but she felt kilig seeing them

" you should both married as soon as possible " she advised " You too belong to each other" she continued

Tom messy her hair

"You always said that," he noticed " don't worry we will," he said and he slowly flick Anna's nose

"Hey!" Anna said while holding her nose

Mildred laughed " you're coming on our wedding day right? "

"I'd love to" Anna responded

"Oh, What do you want? Tom asked her girlfriend

" anything Babe!" She replied " wait I'll tell them" he left

"Tell me," Mildred said to Anna " what are you doing here?" She wondered

"Lolo offered me a job," she explained

"Really! he did? She said

Anna nodded

" that's unusual for him, he never does that to anyone," she said

Anna nodded, she remembered the agreement that made by her grandfather and Chairman Yang, she felt guilty and antagonist to them

Tom came and sat beside his girlfriend

"Have you heard that Lolo gave her a job"

Tom nodded "Yeah! I heard from her" Tom pointed to Anna " She told me before we came here"

He explained

"Really?" Mildred said, and she felt jealous of Anna

Anna looked at them

"I ugh!!! " she interrupted them " I need to go" She stood up

"What about your drinks, I think you need to wait for that"

"No need" she replied "my friend is waiting for me, he's already there" she lied

" he's a friend?" Tom asked

"Yes" she nodded and smiled at them

"Alright then take care" he waved

"Bye Anna," Mildred said

Anna walked away, and Tom and Mildred left on the table.

"What?" He noticed that his girlfriend kept looking at him and he smiled at her

" I think she's becoming Lolo's favorite," she said

"What?" He wondered

" you know it's unusual for him to do that, he is not like that...to anyone else" she explained " I am thinking that maybe he's planning something else " She added

"And what is that?" He interested

" that is why he's looking for her,... two years ago, because he wanted you to marry her"

"What? ... what are you talking about?" He said

"I have a gut feeling Tom" she explained " he doesn't like me, He chose Anna for you because she is the granddaughter of his best friend "

"Stop it, that's not a joke Babe," he said

"What? It's my instinct " she replied

"But that's not gonna happen, babe"

"And it seemed you two are close already, " Mildred noticed

"Not totally close, she's like a little sister to me"

"And I was like a little sister to you first Tom"

Mildred raised her voice with intense

"You're jealous," he said in a low monotone

" I was gone for only a few weeks"

"Hey stop it" Tom interrupted her "There's nothing on between us, you don't need to feel like that....and you're thinking too much babe " Tom smirked

" you didn't do that to anyone"

"What I did, I've done nothing wrong " he explained

"Oh my goodness Tom I know you " She replied "messing her hair, flicking her nose " She continued

Tom shook his head and disagreed with her, " It doesn't mean that I like her " he commented

Mildred sighed " For now of course" she crossed her arms on her chest

they both remained silent

Tom stomped walking out in the coffee shop and went back to the company.
