Two Years Later

After two years, Xiao Miao Miao was still suffering from the heart break she got from breaking upwith Vladimir Gu. She went to Beijing, China to move on. She's living there for two years and expecting that she will forget him. But the question is, will she really forget him? Will Vlad and Miao will still be together until the end???

*CLAAANNNGGG CLAAAANNGGG*

Miao almost jumped out on her bed when she heard the very loud sound of the cymbals in her room.

"Baomu!" she shouted at their maid who was holding the cymbals.

(Baomu means nanny)

"I'm sorry my lady but master asked me to wake you up, you're not waking up so I used this" she raised the cymbals that she was holding.

"Haist! Baomu you don't have to use that! It's so hurt" she rubbed her ears.

"The breakfast is ready my lady, master and others are waiting downstairs." the maid bowed to her then left her room.

Why does that old woman always use different ways on waking her up? Psh…

She stood up and looked at herself in the mirror.

As usual, she's still look the same. She went to the bathroom to take a bath.

.

.

"Zao shang hao yeye!" Miao greeted her grandpa warmly when she arrived at the dining room.

"Zao shang hao wo de gongzu." her grandpa greeted her with a smile.

(Zao shang hao = good morning, wo de gongzu = my princess)

"Good morning my pretty cousin." her cousin Kaia greeted her warmly as well.

"Good morning." she greeted her,she sat down beside her. "Woah, my favorite!" she immediately took the foods that served on the table.

"Haha you're already twenty three but still acting like a child." her grandpa commented.

"Yeye, I'm still a baby." she pouted.

"Pft. A crybaby." Kaia whispered.

"Hey I heard you!" she said.

Kaia just laughed.

"By the way Miao, have you ever thought about joining the company? It would be better for you to work in our own company." said her grandpa.

"Nahh, I told you yeye I don't like the jobs that related to business and investments. I do not want to attend meetings and gatherings." she said while eating.

Her grandpa tried to force her to work for their company several times but she resisted. As much as possible she will not gonna work in large companies, she's avoiding business gatherings because there's a possibility that Vlad and her will meet there, she does not want to meet him.

It's been two years, lots of things happened. Jinji and Gyu finally got married and had a very beautiful daughter, they migrated to Hong Kong after they got married. Rael and Xander, are still in a strong relationship she heard that Xander has introduced Rael to his mom.

Zol entered the music industry, he is now a vocalist of a famous band in the Philippines. He said that his relationship with Saoirse is still secret.

And Vlad and Badeth? After their wedding she had no news about them.

And she also has no intention of finding out.

She had a lot of mistakes from the past, but what happened from the past will be forever in the past. Everything is over now.

"Hey Miao are you still with us?" Kaia waved her hand.

"Huh? Ah what is that again yeye?" she asked.

The old man just sighed. "If you really don't want then I will respect it, but where do you plan to work, you can't just sit here in the mansion and do nothing for the whole day."

"Hehe I will get a job soon yeye." she said while eating.

Actually she really have no idea how to start yet. She tried to applied for work many times but always rejected.

"Why don't you try to work as a personal assistant? I have a friend who is a manager and he's looking for an assistant." Kaia suggested.

"P.A? you want your cousin to become a slave of someone? I will not allow it!" their grandpa immediately objected.

"Yeye it's not being a slave, it's a decent job. Besides, I want to be different, people are working for us and serving us, why don't I try to serve others?" said Miao.

"Are you out of your mind? What will others say --- "

"Hep hep yeye calm down. Don't worry about me I will not ruin the reputation of this family. Let's just say it's just for fun, if I don't like the job then I will quit, that's simple." she added.

The old man only shook his head. "Fine, fine! Do whatever you want, you are old. But if I find out that others are bullying you, I will definitely file a case against them!"

"Haha yeye, I'm Xiao Miao Miao no one will dare to bully me." she proudly said then winked at Kaia.

Her cousin just laughed.

.

….

The manager ran to the room where Kan was. He saw the young man sitting on the couch while some stuff were scattered on the floor.

"W-What happenned Kan?" the manager asked.

"How many times do I have to tell you that my room should always be clean. I saw lots of dust in these magazines, the table is dirty and the smell of the air condition is disgusting!" Kan complained.

Kan is a famous model in Beijing, he has so many fans. But he has this attitude that will stress out the others, what he doesn't like the most is dirty places. He's a germaphobic, he always wears jacket, face mask and gloves every time he comes out. He does not like crowded places and as much as possible he does not want to be touched by anyone.

"I'm sorry I will call the janitor to clean the room." said the manager.

"Manager Song, if you want me to stay with you then do your job right" said Kan.

"Im doing it Kan, but the problem is I can't find a personal assistant for you. No one wants to be your long-term assistant because you always complain." said the manager.

Kan rolled his eyes. "That's not my problem."

The gay manager just sighed.

"Sir, the director is already here we will start the shoot." said the staff.

"Okay we'll be there." said the manager.

He looked at Kan. "Go change your outfit we will start the shoot soon."

Kan got up and took the clothes he is going to wear.

.

….

"Who will be my boss? Is he an actor? Singer?" Miao asked as she and Kaia went shopping.

"He's a famous model." Kaia replied while looking at clothes. "And he's handsome hehe."

"Model? Who?" Miao does not know much about models in china.

"Kan, he's the top model now here in Beijing." Kaia replied as she took out the clothes she likes.

"I don't know him." said Miao.

"EHhh?" Kaia's eyes widened. "Seriously? You don't know Kan?"

She shook her head.

"How come you don't know him? His face is everywhere!" Kaia pointed at the poster inside the shop. "It's him!"

Miao stared at the poster, hmm, he looks familiar.

"Did you know that so many women fall for him and want to get close to him? You'll be lucky if he smiles at you" Kaia added.

"Okay, he's famous but I'm not interested in him, I will take the job because I want to work not because I want to flirt with him." she said.

"Pft. but when you see him you might drop your panty.. for sure hahahah!"

"Shut up!"

"Hahahahhaa!"

Miao looked at his poster again, okay he's handsome. But he's not her type.

.

….

"Yeah like that! Perfect, more pose!" said the photographer.

Kan gave him a fierce look.

"I like that! Gimme more, fierce look!"

Kan looked at the camera fiercely then he loosened his necktie.

"You're so handsome! You're almost perfect Kan!" the photographer praised him.

Kan just smirked, he had known for a long time that he was perfect.

"Okay let's take a break, after this we're starting filming for the ads." said the director.

"Thank you, director Lu!" the manager happily approached Kan. "You're amazing! it looks like the photographer already fell in love with you."

Kan gave him an irritating look. The manager stopped talking and then do a peace sign.

"Do I have anything else to do after the shoot?" Kan asked.

"Hmm let me check." the manager looked at his schedule. "Later at 4pm you will have a pictorial for Vogue China."

He drank his water. "Then?"

"It's until 8pm, your next schedule will be tomorrow afternoon." added the manager.

"Okay." Kan closed his mineral water.

His manager's phone rang. "Ah excuse me I have to answer this." he walked away to answer the call. "Yes hello?"

Kan picked up his phone and then read his messages.

"KAN!!!!" his manager was very happy when he came back.

"What? Can you stop yelling?" Kan got irritated again.

"Hehe, I have good news!"

"What is it?"

"You already have a P.A!!!!"

Kan just rolled his eyes. "Okay."

"What's with that look Kan? Aren't you happy? You will have someone who will take care of you when I'm not around."

"I'm sure she's just one of my die hard fan who applied to be my P.A just to get close to me." Kan looked at him seriously. "Just make sure she will do her job well or else I will fire you both."

His manager gulped. "Y-You are always joking Kan. She will come to your condo tomorrow to talk about her job."

"Okay. I hope she's different." Kan left the manager and returned to his seat.

The manager only shook his head. "That's the reason why he doesn't have a girlfriend, he is so picky and complaining."

.

….

(Really you applied for personal assistant? Are you serious with that twinnie?) Rael asked surprised while she and Miao are talking through video call.

"Yup, I think it's okay to be a P.A and besides I'm also bored here in the mansion, let me do something new." Miao replied while putting a facial mask on her face.

(Pft. But who will be your boss? Famous actor?)

"Nope, Kaia said he's a famous model."

(He? So it's a man?)

"Uhuh." she nodded.

(Hehehe is he handsome?)

"Twinnie, I applied for a job coz I'm bored not to flirt with my boss."

(Why? I'm just asking, why you are too defensive.)

"Psh… by the way, how are you and Xander?"

Rael just smiled.

(Still going strong hahaha)

"Wow."

(Why don't you find a new boyfriend?)

"No way, I'm happy for being single."

(Hmm…)

"But let's get back to the topic, how is his mom? Did she like you? Aunt is kind so she will definitely like you right away."

Suddenly, the smile on Rael's face disappeared.

(U-Uhm, yup she's nice. Looks like she likes me hehe.)

She scratched her head, actually Xander's mom still ignoring her. Xander has explained it several times but his mom doesn't really like her.

"Wow I'm so happy for you, if you two get married don't forget to make me as your bride's maid."

(Of course!)

Miao laughed. But she suddenly remembered the word bride's maid.

The smile on her lips suddenly faded.

(Hey, are you all right? You're quiet.)

"Huh? ah nothing, I'm already sleepy I will call you again tomorrow. I'll tell you about my future boss bye bye."

(Okay bye bye. Good night twinnie!)

"Nighty!"

* video call ended *

Miao laid down.

Bride's maid…

What the hell, why did she remembered that thing?

But she's wondering, how is Badeth now? Is she in good condition?

Vlad is probably taking care of her.

She wanted to call her but she couldn't because she don't know how will she face her.

She closed her eyes. "Xiao Miao Miao… forget the past please."

.

.

….

The next morning…

Miao is on her way to the condo of her future boss when she saw an ice cream parlor.

"Wow that looks delicious!"

She parked her car then got off. It's still early and she's close to the place so she'll buy ice cream first. She entered the parlor.

After a few minutes….

"Wow this looks so delicious!" she said happily while staring at the ice cream she's holding.

She's walking to her car.

"I must post this to my instagram." she took her phone out from her pocket then took a picture of it.

But she lost her smile when a man suddenly bumped on her causing her to throw the ice cream on her clothes.

.

.

….

Kan is jogging right now, he has this habit every morning especially when he's free. He was close to his condo when he noticed someone arguing on the road, he could not hear what they were arguing about because he was wearing his head set. He just shook his head.

But he did not notice the woman in front of him, they bumped at each other and the ice cream throw on his jacket.

He got annoyed and looked at the woman. "Hey, are you blind? Look what have you done to my jacket?"

"Excuse me?" the woman raised an eyebrow. "I'm the one who should complain here, look what happenned to my dress! You're the one who bumped me so it's your fault!"

"My fault? I'm sorry miss but I don't like touching people. It's your fault coz you're not looking on your way."

Geezz.

"Psh, so arrogant."

He heard the woman muttered.

So, she's a Filipina?

"You know what? I don't have time for this." he said.

"What? You're leaving me like this?" the woman asked surprised.

"I don't care, go home and change your clothes. It's not my problem anyway." he put on his headset again and then left her.

.

.

….

"Curse you Mr. Arrogant!" Miao shouted.

She shuddered in annoyance as she watched the masked man walked away. She looked at her dress. "What will I do now? Huhu, it's embarrassing to face Kan like this."

She looked at her watch. "Oh no! I will be late!" she quickly ran to her car.

.

.

….

Miao arrived at the huge condominium.

Fortunately, she has a jacket inside her car, she used it to cover the dirt on her clothes.

If she ever meet that arrogant man again, she will really break his bone.

She entered the elevator.

"I wonder what kind of person is he? Some of the famous celebrities are just pretending to be nice when in front of the camera and then in reality their attitude is really bad." she muttered.

The elevator opened.

She searched for Kan's unit.

"Ah it's here!" she said.

She rang the doorbell and the door immediately opened.

"Hi, good morning I'm Xiao Miao Miao, my cousin is Kaia Xiao she told me that you're looking for personal assistant?" she introduced herself immediately.

The gay manager was stunned when he saw her. "My my, you're too gorgeous to be a personal assistant. I thought you're a model too."

"Hihi, thank you for the compliment, uhm but I need this job." she said.

"Come in, I will introduce you to Kan." Said the manager.

She entered inside, Kan's unit was huge. There is no denying that he earns a lot from modeling.

"Please wait, he's still getting dressed. Sit down first." said the manager.

"Thank you." she said then sat down.

"I'm so happy that Kan's assistant is a Filipina."

She smiled.

"Manager Song did you see my eyeglasses?" she heard a voice of a man coming from one of the room. He came out and saw them.

Miao was too stunned when he saw him, wow… he's really handsome. His hair is still wet, it's obvious that he just finished his shower.

Oh my God Miao you're so lucky to have him as your boss!

Kan immediately raised an eyebrow when he saw her. What is this woman doing here?

She's the woman he bumped into on the sidewalk earlier.

"Who is she?" he asked.

"Ah, Kan she is Xiao Miao Miao your new personal assistant." the manager introduced her.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Miao said and stood up.

Miao can't recognize him because he was wearing face mask earlier.

He looked at her from head to toe.

Then he smirked. "Not bad."

Kan sat down on the other couch.

Miao furrowed her brows. Not bad? What does he mean by that? Is she ugly?

"She's Filipina Kan, so you won't have a problem with her." said the manager.

"Is that so." Kan answered while examining Miao.

Miao felt uncomfortable Kan is staring at her.

He bit his lowerlip.

Kan looked at Manager Song. The manager understood what he meant.

"Uhm it's better to leave you first so you can talk, I will head to the kitchen to prepare some snacks." the manager stood up then went to the kitchen.

They were left alone.

"How old are you?" Kan suddenly asked while still staring at her.

Miao gulped, why does she feel scared? It seems like a demon is living inside this man.

"Im 23." she replied, trying to calm herself down.

She need to pretend that she's fine.

Kan smirked again when he realized that she's uncomfortable with him.

When he sees that a person is being uncomfortable with him, he tease the person more.

She's lucky because Kan acted like that to her, because he's cold to other people.

"Single?" Kan asked again.

"Why did you suddenly asked that?" she said.

"Why? I need to know that since you're my assistant." He said.

"I-Is that so .." she looked away.

"Why? Do you have any other thoughts? Do you think I am interested in you?"

Kan smirked again, he's enjoying it now.

"Of course not! W-Why should I think that? I came here for work, that's all, nothing else!"

"I know, why you're so defensive?"

Miao scratched her head. This is so embarrassing!

"Anyway, you will start working tomorrow. You should be here at 5am, I don't like people who is always late so be on time understand?"

"Yes, I will remember that."

"Here are the foods!" Manager Song returned with a tray of food. "Let's have a snack first."

As they ate, Kan keep glancing at her.

Xiao Miao Miao….

Looks like he will have a great day because of her…
