Scarlett walked fast trying to catch up with Phil’s steps.
“Sir,,,
“Phil…” He quickly corrected with a chuckle.
She rolled her eyes and stopped, trying to catch her breath.
“Geez! You okay?” Phil stopped and ran to her.
“And why would I be? You walk pretty fast” She complained.
“I’m sorry. Should i get you water?” He asked.
“Don’t bother,,, I’m fine now” She heaved, and faced him more.
“Uh,,, What in the name was that?” She asked, folding her arms.
“What?” He asked back.
“What you said back there. Paris?” She replied.
He smiled.
“You of all people should know why I said that. Besides, I also want to visit Paris too”
“But the company in america already-
“Its my company. I do what I want. Period” He cut in.
“Oh goodness,,,
“Don’t forget to meet with the cardiologist, okay?”
“Yeah,,, I’ll do so”
He tapped her shoulder and walked away.
“Oh my. When will this ever stop” Scarlett thought, with a smile.
She went back to her desk, and opened her bag. written by sommy pearl f.
“Thank goodness I didn’t keep the book here again, Gosh,,, why did he pry into it, when he h@ťěs prying eyes. Look at the irony” She scoffed.
She took out the letters from her bag, and also Samantha’s highschool picture, and a certificate of hers.
She planned to give them to Dylan as a an easier method to look for Samantha.
“Don’t worry, sister,,, I’m gonna find you” She muttered.
“What’s that?” A voice said and snatched one of the letters from her.
“Give that back!” Scarlett growled and looked up.
She saw a familiar face and arched her brows.
“You are that rude girl?” Scarlett eyed her for a bit.
“And you’re that ahjumma?” It was Beverly.
Scarlett scoffed.
“What are you doing here, miss?”
“Not your business” Beverly interrupted and tried to open the letter.
“And this isn’t your business either!” Scarlett snapped and pulled the letter from her hand. written by sommy pearl f.
“Hold on, Is that a love letter? Those ones too,, are they love letters?” Beverly pointed at the others ones on the desk.
“Don’t tell me a guy has feelings for you. Pathetic” Beverly scowled.
“Why? Are you jealous?” Scarlett smirked, keeping them back into her bag.
Beverly laughed.
“Who? Jealous? Wait,,, Me? Why would I be jealous?!”
“Cause these are Phil’s letters. He sent them to me” She replied with scorn.
“What!! Why!! Oppa should have texted you, or said it to your face instead of using shitty letters! Don’t dare lie to me!!” Beverly screamed.
“I’m not lying. He sent them to me” Scarlett lied, trying to make her feel hurt.
“Liar!!!”
“If you don’t know, I’m gonna tell you now. I and Phil are high school sweethearts. Yes, you heard that right. High school sweethearts! He sent me these to proclaim his love for me”
“You’re still lying!” Beverly was about to cry.
“Geez,,, Why would I? I recently showed him these letters and he remembered me at once!” Scarlett snapped her fingers on her face.
“Ah…Andwaeeee (Noooo) Kujimalll(You’re lying) I’m gonna ask himself. Wait,,, don’t…don’t tell me you’ve accepted him” Beverly shook her head.
“You know me, I’m quite stubborn and firm. I haven’t accepted him yet- Scarlett paused, and looked at her fingernails.
“But,,, I will…very soon” She added.
“No!!” Beverly shouted, and opened the door, without any second thoughts. written by sommy pearl f.
“Oh my gosh!! What did I just do! It was a joke. I hope Phil doesn’t take it serious” She shook her head, and ran into the washroom.

“Oppa!!!” Beverly shouted, in tears, as soon as she entered the office.
“Be…verly? what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be in school, studying” Phil questioned.
“Wh@ťěver” She sniffed.
“Truancy,,, again” He uttered, with an eye roll.
“Oppa!! Why! Why!! Why!!!” She screamed.
“Why what? You’re disturbing my ears. Leave” Phil breathed, and continued going through the files on his desk. written by sommy pearl f.
“Sir,,, should I take her out?” Oscar asked.
“Yes please. I’ll be grateful” Phil said.
Oscar was about to hold Beverly when she screamed;
“I heard you liked Scarlett during your high school days!”
Phil looked at her, quickly.
“What?”
“It isn’t true right?” Beverly shook her head.
