Her face suddenly turned red when Lee Jin Ho suddenly looked at her. She turned her gaze on the window. 

She felt so embara.s.sed. He caught her staring at him. 

"What are you getting busy of after you've settled here?" asked Lee Jin Ho, trying to stop the dead air while they were waiting for their foods to be served. 

"I've inked a contract to YH Entertainment." 

"You're entering s...o...b..siness?" The news has shocked Lee Jin Ho. He never expected that Tan Ja Nin have a thing for s...o...b..z. 

"Uhm" 

"It's not easy to be in that industry"

"I made some careful thoughts before I signed the contract with YH Entertainment. I am aware of how ridiculous some of the people in that industry but this is what I wanted to do since I was a kid. I've always wanted to act in the silverscreen." 

"And get famous too?" 

Tan Ja Nin bowed her head. She never really wanted to get famous. She only wanted to know the feeling of being liked by somebody else. 

She was that kind of woman who always thought that n.o.body likes her.

From the moment she fell in love with Yan Mor Tee and he never returned her feelings back to her, she has somewhat lost her self-esteem. 

She always thought that she wasn't good enough.

She wasn't pretty enough.

She needs to enter s...o...b..siness to feed her broken ego.

"Just be careful on whom you're going to deal with in the future. Not all people in the s...o...b..siness will be your friend. Always trust your gut feel on dealing with the people around you." 

Tan Ja Nin felt the warmth on Lee Jin Ho's voice. Why does it sound so sincere? 

"Thank you, I will always remember your words of wisdom!" Said Tan Ja Nin as she gave him a gentle smile. 

Lee Jin Ho smiled at her too, but he was still worried about her. He knew how bad the politics in that industry. He initially wanted to discourage her earlier but when he saw how serious she was in entering show business all he could do now was to safeguard her within his capacity. 

.....

Lee Jin Ho and Tan Ja Nin had finished their meal and was about to go back to Lee Jin Ho's car when Tan Ja Nin phone rang. 

"Yes, Min Lin!" She said in a low voice. She made some distance with Lee Jin Ho. 

"Ja Nin!" Said the excited Ho Min Lin "Do you have something to do tonight?" 

"Tonight? I think I'm free, why?" Asked Tan Ja Nin, they have reached Lee Jin Ho's car and he quietly opened the pa.s.senger door for her. She nodded as a sign of grat.i.tude and went inside the car. 

"I have talked with my brother cousin already and he was so excited when I told him that you are okay to go out with him." 

"Ooh!" 

"So if you don't have anything going on tonight, I'll set up the dinner date for both of you!" 

"Dinner date?" 

"Yeah! Didn't you say earlier that your open to entertain a new guy now? Don't tell me your taking your words back? I've already told my cousin that you finally agree to have a dinner with him." 

"Okay, okay! I'm not gonna take back my words. What time is it then tonight? And what place?" 

"Meet him at Ming's Garden tonight! Do you know that place?" 

"Ming's Garden? Is that the one at the corner of the Wen Street?"

"Yes, be there by 7PM."

"Make it 8PM. I'm still out with Jin Ho and I plan to take a rest first when I got home" 

"Okay!" 

"What's the name of your brother-cousin again? Bo Yu? Am I right?" 

"Yeah! He was asking for your number. Is it okay if give it to him?" 

"Yeah I think it is rational if he knows my num.." before Tan Ja Nin could finish what she wanted to say, she got startled when Lee Jin Ho suddenly moved closer to her. She looked at him with "What are you going to do?" expression on her eyes. 

But Lee Jin Ho did not say any words, but moved a little more closer. She felt alarmed.

"Ja Nin?" 

"Y-yes..?" 

"You still there? I'm hanging up now. Bye!" 

She stared at Lee Jin Ho and was waiting for his next next move.

Why is he getting closer to me? 

Is he going to kiss me?

Lee Jin Ho was also looking intently to her as he moved closer.

She felt like she has been paralyzed. 

She unconciously closed her eyes and waited for his lips to met hers. 

But 10 seconds had pa.s.sed and he never kissed her. 

She heard the tick sound of the fastened seatbelt. 

She opened her eyes and she saw Lee Jin Ho furrowed his brows "Why did you close your eyes?"  He said, sounding annoyed. 

"ahh.." Tan Ja Nin could not find a word and was panicking. 

This guy.

He got her there. 

Lee Jin Ho moved away from her and straigthened his back at the driver seat and started the car engine. 

Tan Ja Nin's heart was still beating fast. 

She couldn't believe that she closed her eyes and antic.i.p.ated that Lee Jin Ho would kiss her. 

She scolded herself and was so embarrased especially when she looked at Lee Jin Ho and he was acting like his normal self. 

Argh! She wanted to get off from his car and hid herself somewhere.

She was really stupid.
