THAT SAME NIGHT**
SOJU TENT**
“Ahh…Cheers” Phil made a refreshing sound and cli-cked his filled gl@$$ of soju against Scarletts’
“You’re gonna get drunk. Isn’t this your 2nd bottle??” Scarlett asked worriedly, and Phil chuckled in a silly manner.
“Me? Get drunk? I don’t get drunk! I’m a man!!” He gushed.
“He’s drunk,,, again,, and just like the first time we met” Scarlett said, and shook her head, before taking down the soju.
“Scar…Lett” He behaved like he wanted to cry.
“What again?” Scarlett mo-aned and looked at him.
“Don’t die,,, please” He muttered, with half closed eyes.
Scarlett sighed dee-ply.
“You know what,,, we will talk better tomorrow, when you’re sober but as for now,, you really nee-d to get home”
Scarlett stood up and helped him stand. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“Sir-
“Shh!!” He shouted and she bulged out her eyes.
“Don’t call me that! Call me Phil!” He smac-ked his li-ps.
Scarlett looked at him weirdly.
“Huh…Okay? So,,, Phi…Phil,,, Are you seriously drunk? Can you drive yourself home?”
“Yeah… I’m quite okay” He belched loudly and stood upright.
“Yes,,, that’s it. Good! So,,, I guess this is where we say goodnight? See you tomorrow at the office”
She waited for his reply but he said nothing.
“Goodnight” She uttered and turned away.
He quickly grabbe-d her arm from behind.
“I…really nee-d to leave. My mum doesn’t know my whereabouts” She smiled, and folded her li-ps, flushing red.
“You…forgot your notepad” She heard him mutter and her eyes wide-ned.
“Oh my!” She gushed out in embarr@$$ment and ran back to the table before taking it.
“Thanks” She bowed.
He nodded.

“Leave… Quick,,, enter your car” She said.
He sniffed and shook his head.
“You leave. I’ll watch you”
“Come on, My house is just 3 blocks and 35 steps away, so, let me keep you safe since I don’t know if you’re really sober or still drunk” She smiled.
He smiled back at her and she looked down, hu-gging her notepad against her che-st.
“Goodnight” He muttered.
She looked up at him and nodded.
He turned over to his car, arched his brows again and turned to her.
“This cardigan” He pointed at it.
She looked at herself and scratched her head.
“Yes,,, My mother made it”
“She’s good despite her blindness” Phil muttered.
“I told you…”
“I guess you’re wearing it now, since you might not wear it during win- He paused and sighed, looking down.
“Its fine… I’m still okay, regardless”
“Indeed,, you’re a good liar. Don’t try to hide your pains and let those that care for you, show their sympathy by staying more with you…”
Scarlett blinked.
“I can’t still tell my mum though. I…don’t think I can. That’s why I nee-d my sister so she can keep her less lonely”
“Your…sister?” He softly asked.
“Yes,,, She has been missing for almost 7 years now”
Phil ran his eyes around.
“I…gotta go now”
“Yeah,,, sure…”
He turned and held his car handle when he suddenly heard her voice.
“Sir?,,, Sorry,,, I mean…Phil?”
He slowly turned to her.
“Are you being serious about fulfilling all my bucket list?” She asked.
“Yes,,, Its gonna make you happy, right?”
She beamed and nodded.
“Did you see the pa-rt about the boyfriend and the,,, ki-ss pa-rt where I checked?”
Phil swallowed ha-rd.
“Yes,,, I’m sorry for prying”
“No,,, Its fine. But I hope you won’t let the cat of the bag”
“Why would I? Trust me”
“So,,, what are we gonna do about the restaurant pa-rt? I made mention of I and my boyfriend eating in a cuisine eatery. You aren’t my boyfriend so,,, how’s that gonna happen?”
“Doesn’t matter if its a boyfriend. As long as its a ‘male’, It’s fine. So,,, I’m gonna go on his stead. Let’s eat out whenever, we aren’t ti-ght” He coughed slightly.
“Good idea” She chuckled awkwardly.
He nodded with a smile.
“Thank you, Phil….
He smiled sadly.
“…For everything” She added, with teary eyes.
“And oh,,, your back hu-g,,, its really comforted me surprisedly…”
“I’m…glad” He muttered, and sniffed his tears in. written by sommy pearl f.
TUESDAY**
RM’S COMPANY**
“Scarlett? Your thirsty?”
“Scarlett? Here, I made you coffee”
“Scarlett, Let me know if you’re hungry”
“Scarlett, eat this pie. Its not only gonna sweeten your tongue,,, but your heart too”
“Scarlett? Did you take your drugs before coming?”
“Scarlett, Are you craving anything?”
“Should I re-tie your hair? Some strands are falling”
“Wait,,, lemme check your pulse”
“How’s your heart beat?”
“Is your che-st hurting?”
“Tell me if you’re sick, okay?”
“Sir!!!!” Scarlett finally screamed.
She was tired already of his silly worried comments.
“Phil,,, Its Phil, P-H-I-L” He spelt.
“Yeah,,, Yeah,,, So,,, Huh…Phil, tell me,,, when did I suddenly turn to the CEO? I’m not gonna die,, at least not now” She rolled her eyes.
“I’m your secretary and not your baby. I gotta work” She added.
Phil sighed.
“I’m really sorry for exaggerating but I can’t help it”
“I’m really fine,,, trust me”
“When you notice something strange or weird going on, with your bo-dy, alert me, got that!”
Scarlett sighed and rolled her eyes.
“Aye Aye Sir!!”
Phil grinned.
“So, let get to work. What’s the next thing on the schedule”
“Its the meeting based on the-
“Wait, Scarlett, have you eaten lunch yet?”
“Sirrr!!!!”
“I mean,,, Phil!!!” She screamed.
“Sorry,,, one last question” He said, with cute innocent eyes.
“What? What?” She asked, with funny wide-ned eyes, alongside raised brows.
He pocketed his hands.
“Have you visited your cardiologist yet?”
“Hmm,,, Since when I went there to see her for the first time,,, and she told me the bad news, I never went there again,,, upon though she begged me to come often for check up”
Phil wide-ned his eyes.
“What?? Why not?”
“I’m scared and anxious. Why would I go there again? To hear bad new season 2? If she tells me I’m gonna live,,that’s fine”
Phil sighed.
“You really ought to go. What if you are getting better”
“And what if I’m not?” Scarlett asked.
“Stop being pessimistic”
“You were the one who taught me”
Phil sighed dee-ply.
“Please,,, promise me you would go again”
“And why would I promise you?”
“Cause I promised to fulfill all your bucket list,, before you kick the bucket” He cooed.
“Aiish! Okay then, I promise. I will go soon when I’m less busy”
“Great! Also, make sure to tell me whatever you want. I’ll make your whole wish come true”
Scarlett smiled.
“Promise?”
“Promise!”
Scarlett smiled wi-dely, and he also smiled before taking his eyes down.
“So,,, what’s the meeting about?” He slowly took his eyes up to her.
“Its the meeting about moving to the united states,, the bazaar business trip? Remember?” Scarlett replied.
“Oh yeah,,, sure! Goodness, I haven’t even picked a model yet. Aiishh!” He blurted.
Scarlett ran her eyes around, and slowly folded her li-ps, looking at his troubled face.
THE MEETING**
“So, we still don’t have a model? How will we do this when we get to the states now?,,, Its in just 2 days time” Mr Kowalski said.
He was one of the important meeting holders in the company.
Many of the meeting holders, started talking and murmuring about it, agreeing with Mr Kowalski.
Phil sighed and brushed his hair down with his palm.
“I promise to get one as fast as possible,,, before tomorrow and ah,,, also I almost forgot,, There’s a change in something” He said and there was a sudden quietness.
“Change?” Scarlett whispered at Oscar.
They both stood by the wall.
“What change is he talking about? He had better not make an error” She whispered, looking at the bright IPad screen, which she was operation on.
“We aren’t gonna be having this business trip in the states anymore” Phil said, and straightened his back.
“What?! What do you mean?! We already talked to the manager at L.A!!” Mrs Reeds said, almost standing up.
“And who cares? I’m the CEO!” He shouted back and there was a hu-ge silence, even a drop of pin can be heard when falling.
“What’s he doing right now?” Scarlett thought, watching him.
“So,,, sir?? Where’s the change taking place? I mean,,, where’s the new location now?” Scarlett asked, raising her right arm.
All eyes turned to her, including Phil.
Scarlett blinked.
“I nee-d to know the next step so that I can prepare” She added, trying to elaborate.
Phil smiled at her.
“We,,, are moving to Paris”
Scarlett looked at him dee-ply, that she forgot people were around.
“Pa…Paris?” She stuttered, blinking her eyes fast.
“Yes” He nodded, and pocketed his both hands.
“I told you,,, I’m gonna fulfill them all. Your bucket wishes. Let’s go to your dream country, Paris” He thought and Scarlett wondered why she heard that.
