Soo joong: hey, you're early, it just (check his wrist watch) 6:30 am.

Valentina: oh I have a lotta work to do.

Soo joong: I don't think I have a meeting today.

Valentina: well, you have other important activities like the workshop programme, the tour with the japanese investors, and em a dinner date with ms. flora but that not the main reason I came so early.

THEY GOT INTO THE ELEVATOR AND SHE CLICKED ON THE BUTTON WITH THE NUMBER 8 ON IT, THE ELEVATOR BEGAN TO MOVE UP

Valentina: well I have some personal work to do.

Soo joong: (giving her a side glance) ok then.

THERE WAS SILENCE TILL THEY GOT TO THE EIGHT FLOOR, THE ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS AND THEY WALK OUT

BEFORE SHE COMPLETED HER STATEMENT, SOO JOONG FALLS

SHE TRIES TO HELP HIM UP BUT LOST BALANCE BECAUSE OF HER HEELS AND FALLS ON HIM

Soo joong: (chuckles) I can't believe you, you wanna pull me up without me helping myself up.

Valentina: yeah, I'm really strong, I could lift you up in a jiffy.

Soo joong: then why are you on me (pause) on the floor!

SHE STRETCHES HER HAND, HE GRABS IT AND HE GOT UP

Soo joong: (dust his pants) thanks.

AS THEY MOVE FORWARD, VAL TRIES HER BEST TO HOLD HER BALANCE BUT SHE COULDN'T DUE TO HER SHOES AND SHE FALLS ON HER BUTT

SHE BEGAN TO SULK LIKE A CHILD AND POUTS HER LIPS BUT THEN STOP WHEN SHE HEARS SOO JOONG LAUGHING

Soo joong: you look really funny right now, why are you sulking?

Valentina: I'm not (folds her arm and pouts her lips)

Soo joong: (squats) look at what you are doing, give me your hand or will you like to sit there forever.

SHE GIVES HIM HER HAND AND HE PULLS HER UP, SHE MURMURS A THANK YOU THEN SHE BENDS HER LEG AND BEGINS TO WALK IN A WEIRD WAY

Soo joong: (laughing) what are you doing?

Valentina: I'm trying not to fall.

Soo joong: where did they get from?

Soo joong: so Nigerian are this funny (laughing hard)

Valentina: so you laugh, I thought you were a vampire that doesn't laugh.

Soo joong: (clears his throat) hmm, this is (clears his throat again and adjust his tie)
