Chapter Two – The Pretence
The event is spectacular just as she thought it would be. She can't possibly believe that she's here on this event and how she love it all!
" Enjoying yourself? " her father asked beside her.
" Yes, thank you " she said with a smile.
" I know you've been wanting to watch this event ever since you've been fascinated with this country's culture but don't get too comfortable about this. We'll only be staying here a week or two maybe. "
" I know that, father but as long as we're here I'm going to spend it as much as I can "
" Good. Would you like to roam around then? "
" If it's possible "
" Go ahead but don't go to far, we're leaving after two hours "
" Thanks " she said then hurriedly went for a walk on the different stalls.
He was acting like an idiot detective watching his prime suspect on her every move. Sendoh smiled to himself. He can't hide his happiness as he watched a beautiful woman looking on every piece that interests her. She's like an innocent child – eyes sparkling in excitement.
He let out of sigh.
He really doesn't want to come here but he'd rather be out than be with Leeshell every moment! That girl is pissing him off. If not for his mother's sake he'll tell her face to face that his not interested on her. It's only a good thing that he decided to go out. Fate have giving him a chance to find his pretended girlfriend roaming around the block.
He was about to come close to her when she stop. Looking for a certain piece. When she lift it up, Sendoh notice that is a gold necklace with a tear-eyed jade pendant.
The owner of the stall speak, he watch as the girl nod then shook her head while smiling. After that the girl just walk away. Sendoh went hurriedly toward the stall.
" Excuse me Ma'm but do you happen to know that girl? "
" No, but I heard that she's the only daughter of the main speaker of this event.. if I remember correctly it's Mr. Jeremy McNeil "
" Oh , I see. Anyway is she buying that piece? "
" No, actually she's just looking it. She said that it's the most beautiful necklace she has ever seen "
" Ah, does that necklace has a matching earring or something? "
" No, it's the only necklace I have with jade as pendant "
" Okay, could you kindly wrap it. I'm buying it " he said without hesitating, he can afford the price of the piece.
" Hi " Sendoh greeted as he walk beside the girl he's been following for some time now.
She suddenly stop walking. No, she couldn't be seeing right. The guy smiled.
" Nice to meet you again, Miss McNeil "
" How – how do you know my name? " she asked heart thudding widely.
" Actually, I only know your last name. I heard that you're the daughter of Mr. Jeremy McNeil "
" Yah well anyway I should be going " she commented then continue walking hurriedly.
" Wait I have something for you " he said as he followed her again.
She stop as he looked at him holding a certain purple velvet box.
" Please do accept it. It's my way of saying sorry about what I did this morning "
" I should be the one saying sorry I don't have the right to hit you like that"
" That's okay with me besides it is really my fault so please do accept this… I brought this for you " he said smiling.
All she could do was to accept it then when she open it her mouth drop open.
" Oh no, I can't accept this. It's too much "
" It's nothing beside I know you like it "
She looked at him then realized.
" You've been following me are you? "
" Well, I -- ahm.. "
" Aki! " shouted someone.
" Oh no, not again " he said
She followed his eyes toward the girl she now knew.
" Leeshell, what are you doing here? " he asked
" Looking for something just like the two of you " the girl looked at her then to the velvet box. " Nice necklace did he brought that for you? "
" Huh? I ah " she said confused on what to say.
" Yes I brought her that, it's my gift for her because she finally came to visit me " Sendoh said while pulling her close to him.
Not again! Why is it that the guy affects her this way, is as if he knows exactly what her body wants? And being close to him again made her feel relax and secure.
" Oh so she's not from around here? Just as I thought since that morning was the first time I saw her here. So from where are you? "
" Ah… I'm from London "
" Oh, so how did you guys meet anyway? "
Sendoh was about to reply when someone called.
" Leeshell, there you are. I've been looking everywhere for you " said a certain gray-hair guy and to her surprise her father was with him.
" Dad! " she said without noticing it.
" Minerva? What? Who's that guy holding you? " he asked
She quickly pulled away from Sendoh's hold and before she could explain Leeshell beat her to it.
" Why she's his girlfriend sir! Don't you know that? "
" He's what?! " her father said loud enough to make your heart skipped.
A/N: Hehehe – Sendoh's in big trouble. He doesn't know what he's into as he includes the daughter of a diplomat and an ex-military man on his problem towards girls.
