Chapter 2 - who's she

Years later, Mr. and Mrs. Padilla's daughter is raised by Mr. James, a baker whose wife passed away after birth. He loves and raises Elsie (Mr. and Mrs. Padilla's daughter) very well with good manners, attitude, and behavior. But now Elsie is 20 years old; she's a delivery girl and has two friends, Zheyuan, who's her secret crush, and Jenny. They are besties. Oh, and Zheyuan also has a secret crush on Elsie.

One day, after Elsie is going home after work when her phone buzzes, she looks at it and sees a message from Zheyuan that says, "Meet me on Air Bridge. She sighs and starts driving there.

Meanwhile, at Air Bridge

"You can do it," the person on the other line says to Zheyuan (it's Jenny).

"I can't. What if I mess up?" he replied.

You're not going to just spit your damn feelings to her and forget about it. Jenny says again.

"It's not that simple," he says nervously.

"What's the worst that could happen?" she asks.

She could reject me, and I don't want that; I don't want to mess things up, he says.

Okay, let's do this, she says.

"What?" he asks.

You're going to stay on the call and do and say whatever I say when Elsie gets there.

Fine, he sighs.

Elsie sees him and clears her throat.

He jumps a bit.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you... Elsie apologizes.

It's ok, Zheyuan says.

She smiles. "Who were you talking to?" she asks.

Ah… zheyuan prolong

"Don't tell her it's me," Jenny says over the phone.

Okay… Zheyuan responds to Jenny.

Okay??... Elsie asks.

I mean no one; I was just singing. I'm fine, fine, fine.

She chuckles. So what's this sudden meeting up about?? ...she asks.

Well...I...I...Zheyuan hesitated.

Go and hold her hand, idiot. Jenny says

He walks and holds Elsie's hand, stares at her, and she stares back at him, raising her eyebrow.

Now say you're such a... As Jenny is about to say "angel," her elder brother Mike brings her a dog. "A dog?" she says to her brother.

You're such a dog. (Zheyuan says to Elsie accidentally)

Oh no…I wasn't talking to you... Jenny says

A dog… Elsie says, "Did you just call me a dog?" She removed her hands away.

Ah, I mean, Bunny, no... Angel... he says nervously.

She rolls her eyes and walks away.

"No, no, no... damn you, Jenny..." he speaks in frustration.

I'm sorry; I was expecting you to say that. Jenny says

So it's my fault??…he asks.

Yes, she says.

You told me to say whatever you speak...he responds.

Later that day at James House

Dad, I'm back. (She kisses his hand.)

You're back so early... Is everything ok, James asks?

Yes, everything is okay. I just finished work early, and I missed you... She smiles.

(He laughs.) "C'mon, I made you something to eat," he says.

Dad "I have told you so many times not to stress yourself..." she sighs.

It's your favorite.

Really…she rushes to the dining table, washes her hands, and she's about to eat.

Hey, stop!

Huh? Is something wrong, Dad? Because I'm sure I washed my hands.

But you didn't pray.

Oh, sorry, I forgot.

You always forget.

I'll try not to next time.

I'll look up to that… He's not convinced.

I mean it this time.

He sighs, "Eat up first and stop talking."

(She nods, prays, and starts eating.) Hmmm, this food is the best. You're a great cook.

(He chuckles at her praise and says)

I'm a good cook only for my lovely daughter.
