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 hates 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 smi-rked, keeping them back into her bag.
Beverly laughed.
“Who? Jealous? Wait,,, Me? Why would I be jealous?!”
“Cause these are Phil’s letters. He se-nt 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 se-nt 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 se-nt 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 fin-gers 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 fin-gernails.
“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.
“Whatever” 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 throu-ghthe 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.
Oscar sighed and finally grabbe-d her arm. He started taking her out.
“Let go of me!! Oppa!! It isn’t true, right?”
“Os…Oscar,,, wait” Phil muttered, and stood up.
Oscar left her and stood beside her.
Beverly sniffed, and wiped her tears with the back of her palm.
“Beverly…Wha…What are you talking about?” His voice shook.
“I heard you like Scarlett in your high school days!”
Phil swallowed ha-rd, with his eyes shaking so much.
“I…I…don’t un-derstand” He shook his head.
“You shouldn’t be saying you don’t un-derstand!! You should be saying its a lie! You should be frankly denying this!!”
“Who told you that?” Phil asked.
“And who cares! Just tell me its a lie!! I also heard you se-nt your feelings to her, throu-ghletters!”
Phil blinked and slumped his bu-tt ha-rd on the chair. His bo-dy was vibr@ting. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“Le…tters?” He stuttered.
“Be…Be…Beverly. Why…I mean,,, Who told you those things?” Phil asked.
Beverly gr-unted.
“I hate you! Gosh!!” She screamed, bu-mped into Oscar and left.
Phil breathed dee-ply.
“What’s this? Why…why’s this happening?” He muttered.
Oscar just looked at him confusedly.
***
“I nee-d to go home and rest” Phil for-ced a smile. written by sommy pearl f.
Scarlett scratched her head.
“Are you ill?” She asked, worriedly.
“Nothing at all… I’m just quite tired. You should go home too,,, but first, go to your cardiologist. Besides, I also se-nt Oscar home” Phil said, clenching his brief case on his fist, trying ha-rd to rele-ase his seized breathe.
“Hmm…Okay,,,
Phil quickly turned away from her face and breathed heavily before walking away fast.
“What’s his problem now? I’m sure Beverly told him and its spoilt his mood. Please, don’t hate me too much” She sighed dee-ply, parked her things, took her bag and left.
HEART TO HEART HOSPITAL**
Scarlett walked away from the medical machinery and sat down, facing the doctor.
“So,,, What’s the results now?” She asked, softly.
“Still the same. I’m sorry” The female doctor shook her head and Scarlett sighed dee-ply, looking down.
“Like I knew…” She muttered.
“So,, How’s your health now,,, you’re taking the drugs I prescribe-d?” The doctor asked.
“Fine. I don’t feel the pains anymore. I’m also agile as a monkey and I rarely get tired” Scarlett answered.
The doctor smiled.
“Thats good to hear, Miss Scarlett”
“But doc,,, Do you think I might be having memory loss?” Scarlett asked, remembering the fact Dylan told her, she actually told him, she was a secretary in RM companies, when she didn’t really do it, in the actual se-nse.
It was really suspicious, unless she has memory loss. Because, She ha-rdly forgets.
“No,,, Why’re asking?” The doctor asked.
“Huh? No,,, nothing” Scarlett replied and shook her head.
She looked at the doctor desk before her and saw her name written boldly on the name plate.
*LESLEY ANDERSON*
“By the way, nice name” Scarlett smiled.
“Huh?…Oh,,, Thank you” Lesley replied, with a nervous smile.
SEOUL’S STATION***
“What? Mr Dylan was suspended?” Scarlett wide-ned her eyes.
“Yes” The young cop replied.
“But why?”
“He fired a bullet unnecessarily”
“Oops. Geez,,, so when should I come back? I really nee-d to hand somethings to him”
“Maybe in 5 days time?” The cop answered.
“Oh,,, Okay,,, thank you” Scarlett bowed.
The cop bowed too before leaving her.
“Aiish,,, Not now. Guess I’ll come back from Paris and start with Samantha’s case” She muttered, and sighed dee-ply.
SCARLETT’S ROOM**
*Hi, Scarlett* It was a message from Phil.
Scarlett who was using her phone on the be-d, smiled.
