Chapter 2: Love at First Sight!

After Jiwook's work in the office, he wanted to drop by that girl's house so he drove to her house and waited in his car outside her house porch. He hesitated a while to approach her at first but then when he thought of his dad and his demands, he got up of his car and adjusted his shirt and tie. He walked up to her house and looked around. He thought she must be rich enough to buy a house in this luxurious-looking housing area. He rang the bell and waited for her to open the door.

Bella: Yes, who are you?

Jiwook: I am the one Hae Rae have talked about over the phone last night?

Bella: Oh, I see! I am working right now. Can you wait for me in that café down the road?

Jiwook: How much do you get by doing this by the way?

Bella: As I said, can you just wait for me? I will be in trouble if she knows.

Jiwook: It is a she? You-

Just then Jiwook heard a female voice approaching her at the door with a stern voice.

Melinda: Who is it?

Bella: Ma'am, I don't know him. I will just ask him to leave now.

Melinda opened the door and was rooted to the ground with shock. She did not expect to see Jiwook standing there.

Melinda: Mr. Chang Ji Wook? What are you doing here?

Jiwook: Oh...I...I came to see you actually.

Bella was shocked to hear this. Just a while before he was asking for payment and talking about Hae Rae and now he just changed the topic. Bella had to let in him as Melinda was welcoming him into the house. As Melinda was walking down the hall in front of them, Bella turned to Jiwook and glared at him.

Bella: What are you trying to do? Trying to get me into trouble?

Jiwook: I know her. Plus, if you want to keep your job, just do what I say now.

Jiwook whispered into her ears and smirked a little. Bella gazed into his eyes accidentally and froze at his charming dazzling eyes. Bella got over to her real senses and pretended to look away from him. As Melinda ordered Bella to bring some water for them, Melinda asked Jiwook about his dad and how he was doing. Jiwook and Melinda were talking in the hall when Bella came in with water for them to drink. Jiwook saw this and took advantage of this situation. He purposely pushed Bella towards Melinda and spilled some water on her dress. Melinda was furious at this and looked at Bella with her piercing eyes.

Melinda: Can't you even hold a glass properly?! Are you that blind?

Bella: I am so sorry ma'am! Here, let me wipe it off for you.

Melinda: Get away your filthy hands off me! I have to change now.

Melinda got up angrily and walked up the stairs as Jiwook and Bella looked at her stomping off to her room upstairs.

Jiwook: Here, this is my card.

Bella: You could have waited for me in that café to give me this. Why all this?

Jiwook: I don't like waiting for people. I prefer when people are waiting for me.

Bella sighed and rolled her eyes at him. Hae Rae was right about him over the phone. He can be a little rude and ignorant. Well, Bella needed the money so she had no choice but to agree to all Jiwook's conditions.

Melinda: I am sorry for making you wait for long. Shall we go out for dinner?

Jiwook: I am very tired now. Shall we do this another day?

Melinda: Sure! Call me when you are free.

Jiwook secretly winked at Bella when Melinda wasn't looking at him or Bella at that time. He walked to the door and Bella told him that she would be calling him at night.

Bella: We will discuss the payment then.

Jiwook: I am sorry by the way for behave in the house. I just wanted to give you my card and see if you would be interested.

Bella: I am doing this only for Hae Rae. He is my best buddy since university and that is why I agree with all the terms you laid just now. Now just leave, will you? Don't put me into trouble.

Jiwook smiled and walked to his car. He turned back and noticed that Bella was still standing there with his card in her hands. Jiwook thought Bella was beautiful and charming in her way. His heart was at ease when Bella said she would be willing to act as his girlfriend and agreed to all the terms he had. That night Bella called Jiwook and discussed the payment and other conditions over the phone.

Jiwook: You actually work for Melinda?

Bella: Yes, I do and will that be any problem with our agreement here?

Jiwook: Oh, no! It wouldn't and it shouldn't be.

Bella: Good, so, when can I be your girlfriend?

Jiwook was shocked at first that Bella was so forward with this but then he realized that Bella do this for her side income.

Jiwook: Tomorrow?

Bella: Okay, good! So, where shall we meet?

Jiwook: The café down the street that you talking about?

Bella: Sure! I will bring the file on me and you get ready with those things which I need to know about you.

Jiwook: Things to know about me?

Bella: Look here, I don't want to get into trouble or be embarrassed when I am with you in public. I want to know my client well.

Jiwook: So, I am your client and not your fake boyfriend?

Bella: Jeez! For me, you are my client, for the public, you are my fake boyfriend! Understood?

Jiwook: Oh, okay. Get it now. We shall meet tomorrow then Have a good night's sleep.

Bella said goodnight and ended the call with Jiwook. Bella thought he looked dashingly handsome so why would he want someone to act as his girlfriend when he can get any girl he wants? Bella quickly brushed off the thoughts and went to bed that night. Jiwook on the other hand called up Hae Rae and told him that Bella agreed to all his terms and was willing to act as his girlfriend. He told Hae Rae that Bella worked for Melinda and was shocked to see Melinda there with Bella.

Hae Rae: Oh, I actually forgot to tell you that she works for Melinda...

Jiwook: How could you miss out on this important point here! Now how to get Melinda off my hands when she actually sticks with Melinda like glue?!

Hae Rae: Listen here bro, I will handle Melinda for now. Just handle Bella and see if everything works out with her.

Jiwook: You better make sure Melinda does not interfere with our agreement. It will cause a huge mess if she finds out.

Hae Rae: Don't worry about it too much. Just go to bed and relax.

Jiwook ended the call with Hae Rae and walked to his room. He brushed his teeth and went to bed that night waiting for the day to break.
