Chapter 3: CHAPTER 3: BEST FRIENDS
After she returned from work she found out that her best friend hadn't returned.
She had been living together with her Maya in this small apartment ever since they graduated from college and came to the city, they grew hope together in the same province and attended the same schools from kindergarten to college. They were like real sisters and some people always thought that they were twins because of their similar physique even though they didn't look alike.
Her Friend informed her yesterday that she was going on a date with her boyfriend. She picked up her phone and decided to give her a call.
" Ring.. ring... Ring...."
The phone rang many times but there was no answer. Then she decided to send her a voicemail and just as she was about to hang up, the door opened and Maya entered with a sad expression. She dropped her bag on the floor and slouched down on the couch.
Clara frowned and wondered why she was gloomy. she sat down, placed her hand on her shoulder, and asked in a worried tone
" Maya what is wrong..?? Why are you looking like this, did something happen between you and Ken?"
Maya sighed and looked up, tears streaming down her face, She sniffed and turned to Clara with bloodshot eyes and said " Sorry to make you worried Clara " she paused and wiped her tears then continued in a barely audible voice
" It's not about Ken., He and I are doing fine... " She paused and continued "remember I told you that our company had opened a branch in City X "
" Yes., Is something wrong..? " Clara frowned and said while handing her a handkerchief, she had a bad feeling about what her friend was going to say next.
" I'm among the employees that will be transferred there " she held Clara's hands and continued
" I don't want to leave you alone here but I don't have any choice... I talked to the manager and he said there's nothing he can do ". She remembered how she begged the old man but he didn't even glance at her and told her that it's either she transfers or quit the job.
After hearing what her friend said Clara sighed and hugged her" it's okay don't cry, I'll be fine "she said and looked up and smiled at her masking her sadness " isn't it your dream to set up your own fashion company in the future.?, Besides this is a big opportunity for you.... "
she paused as if she remembered something and asked hurriedly
" Have you told Ken already..??? Isn't his grandparents also living in City X"
" Yes,.. he told me that he'll also move to City X next month to manage his grandparent's company"
" That's great... see.,? you won't be alone and Ken loves you so much I know he will take good care of you " Clara clapped her hands and said happily ' how I wish I find someone like Ken ' she thought dreamily...
Maya chuckled and pouted her lips " I thought you're going to say you will miss me and beg me not to go and here I am crying over you..hmph"
" Of course I'll miss you, baby, don't worry whenever you're sad think of me and I'll appear like a fairy godmother " Clara stood up and walked in front of her dramatically imitating a fairy. They both laugh and hugged each other.
Maya told her that she would be living the next morning as the company had already made every arrangement for them.

__Cha mansion__
Carl was sitting on a sofa in the large study room which looked more like a library facing his father who summoned him a while ago.
His father Henry Cha a middle-aged man who shared many similarities with his son is one of the richest men in the country owning thirty percent of the companies in Country Z. He was a ruthless businessman who only believed in perfection.
He looked at his son who was facing him with a frown and said
" Mr. Lu's daughter will come back from abroad next week, I've set up a date for you two to meet " he paused and sighed " don't disappoint me this time, she's a good girl from a reputable family and if you marry her it will be beneficial for both our families "
He looked at his father and frowned, He had guessed that was what he was going to say when he received his call that he wanted to see him. He stood up and replied nonchalantly " not interested" before turning his back to leave.
" ...You.." his father was enraged, " Why wouldn't you go., You're not getting any younger, when I was your age I already had your brother" .he stood up pointing his finger at Carl " can't you learn from your brother.? He already has a fiance and here you are without even a girlfriend!!!". he patted his chest and sat back down with a sigh.
When he heard his father mentioned his brother he chuckled and left the study room without giving his father another glance.
