Desperately...
Kelly's POV
| was driving my car to the company early in the morning when | saw a familiar man standing on the road side.
He's talking to a man older than him and it seems tothat they're arguing. | parked my car and slowly walked
towards them.
"Just accept it because | have an urgent meeting. Or if you want, you can just giveyour contact and I'll have
my assistant contact you about the damage."
The older man scoffed. "What do you mean? Are you trying to get away? Not because you're a rich foreigner
doesn't mean you can get away from this. You run into me! My back is hurting."
| slowed down and tilted my head. Mr. Walter clenched his jaws. He's arguing with an older man on the street
and | think the old man is actually harassing him.
"Excuse me..." | stepped in, unable to watch the anymore.
They both looked my way and the old man seemed shocked that | stepped in. He looked tense now-a sign that
he's actually lying about his pain. "Miss Monroe..."
| smiled at Mr. Walter. "I saw you, so | stopped for a while. Is there something wrong?"
"No, | just..." he paused and sighed. "I accidentally hit him and he doesn't want to go to the hospital."
"You have an urgent meeting, right?"
"Yeah."
| nodded. "I'll take care of this, Mr. Walter. Your meeting is important. You should go.
He looked at the old man and he looked very hesitant. | smiled again and looked at the old man.
"I will talk to you on behalf of him, sir. | am his lawyer."
The old man panicked even more. He immediately turned his back on us and walked away at a very fast
pace.
"W-What? Wait...your injury..." Mr. Walter's voice drowned in the air as soon as he realized that he was scammed.
He clenched his jaws and took his eyeglasses off. "Damn!"

| chuckled and looked at his face. "It is very troublesto be a foreigner, huh?"
He looked at me, without his glasses, and | was mesmerized. He has a beautiful pair of eyes.
He put his eyeglasses back and scratched the back of his neck. "Please tell| wasn't scammed when | paid a
woman last week after | bumped her car..." cupped my mouth. "Oh my God!"
His lips parted and after a few minutes, he started laughing. | laughed too while looking at him in disbelief.
"Mr. Walter, you almost got scammed twice."
He sighed and shook his head. "I guess | need to call my lawyer whenever | encounter weird accidents." | smiled
and glanced at my wrist watch. "You'll be late for your meeting." 2/3
He nodded. "Yeah... But, can | invite you later...to thank you for helpingtoday."
I nodded. "Sure. What time."
He smiled, still staring into my eyes. "I'd like to have dinner with you, but I'm sure you will go hearly
because of your daughter." "Why not?"
His lips parted. "You'll agree to dinner?"
"Yeah." | smiled and shrugged my shoulders. "I also want to thank you for the opportunity you gavewhen |
was working for you."
He nodded. "So...see you later?"
| waved at him as | slowly took a step backwards. "See you later."
| smiled and nodded at him again as | drove away. I'm thankful to him for trustingso much that he promoted
Although, I'm a bit distant to him because of what Mary has been feeding my mind. | worked all day at the
company again. It was Pierce who remindedto eat lunch because he cto my office again, carrying food
for us.

"You need to eat on time. What if you get sick?" Pierce was very serious while preparing our lunch.
| was just watching him, thinking about srandom things. Random like...why is he doing this? Is he trying to
be friends withagain or he's courting me?
"Here..." He handeda plate full of food. Now, I'm starting to think if his mother really cooked this or if he's
forcing her everyday to cook.
"Pierce..." | called as he started eating. "Are you courting me?"
He choked and coughed. Sof the rice from his mouth landed on my lap and he immediately wiped it with a
table napkin. | didn't mind because I'm waiting for his answer.
I don't know how | got the courage to ask that but that's what | really want to know.
He slowed down as he swallowed hard and looked at me. "I... Do you...wantto?"
Now he askedthat, | felt my cheeks start burning. Does it sound like | want him to courtor did |
unconsciously deliver a hidden message?
He looked away. "I want to...I know I said | won't force myself into you again but...I still want to try my luck
and...court you."
| wasn't actually wrong. That was his intention.
He sighed and looked down. "Am | making you uncomfortable? Is this too fast?"
"You were so slow," | said unconsciously.
"Huh?"
| looked away. "You want us to try again?"
"Desperately, baby..."
| took a deep breath and looked him
in the eyes. "Can you deal with my
