1 Make you fall in love with me

"Free my schedule for the next three days then book me a flight to Singapore. I'll leave this afternoon" without looking at his assistant President Lee step out of his car and entered the building.

His assistant hurriedly steps out of the car and followed him inside. When he stops in front of the elevator he started reminding him of schedule.

"But President Lee, you still have an important dinner tonight with Mr. …" assistant Kim exclaimed

"Mr. Kim, Do I have to repeat myself?!" using his arrogant and cold voice while stepping inside the elevator.

Being his assistant for almost five years he already knows President Martin Lee's temper and how he handles things. He may seem impulsive but never miscalculate things. Mr. Kim wasn't able to say anymore and just diligently follow him in the elevator while talking to sally (the new office assistant) on the phone to arrange his hotel and flight for that afternoon.

When president Lee entered his office he saw a big files of documents on his table. He then sits down and started massaging his temples. He straightens his back against the chair and began reading the files one after the other. Mr. Kim also took this time to call his wife to tell her about the sudden trip and to bring his luggage in the office. Good thing his wife knows the nature of his job well and did not make a fuss of his sudden business trip. He then promised his wife that he will bring her to the beach when he gets back and ended the call.

At past 12 noon, Mr. Kim knocked on his office.

"President Lee, it's time to go."

When he heard his assistant, he turned off his laptop, picked up some documents then hands it over to his assistant and left his office.

It's just still seven am when Samantha Saavedra finish packing her stuff for her much awaited trip to Singapore to watch Formula 1 Grand Prix 2018. Her flight is at 1:40 in the afternoon and she still has plenty of time to prepare and fix herself. Sammie really wanted to look her best since she will be meeting the love of her life for the first time in person.

"See you very soon my loves, I will make you fall in love with me and that's for sure! "oozing with confidence Sammie said while looking at the Car Racer Superstar Chris Monteverde's Poster in her room. Ever since three years ago she had been following him online. She knew his favorite pasta is Fettuccine Alfredo, he hates cats but loves dogs, he even has a Labrador named Jack. He is allergic to nuts and loves seafood especially king crabs. This is the main reason she asked her best friend Cathy who is a chef to teach her how to cook chili crab since she heard in an interview that he loves it. She is indeed a die-hard fan.

Luckily she is one of the five winners of meet and greet your idol from a radio show contest otherwise she will never have a chance like this. Thus, she will definitely won't let this chance go to waste.

On her way to the airport she is anxious and her mind is drifting away thinking of what she'll say or do when she meet her Idol. The Que in the airport was surprisingly not long. From the baggage check in to the immigration in only took her 30 minutes then once inside she grabs some snacks before she headed to the boarding area. Once boarded and seated and buckled up, she placed her neck pillow and tilted her head on the window ready to sleep but then she remembers something. She is looking at the cabin crew near hear closing the overhead bin.

"Hi, please no need to serve me meals later. I'm going to sleep and also can I request for a blanket?" She waited for her response without removing the smile on her face.

"Sure Ma'am, I'll get it for you." When the cabin crew came back with the blanket, she hurriedly opens it and make herself comfortable. The entire three and a half trip was fine except for some minor turbulence so she was able to sleep well and rest.

At Singapore International airport

Sammie, together with the other winners were greeted by the representative from the Radio Show upon arrival. Miss Lisa Rivera, together with the camera man and an assistant were already in Singapore since yesterday afternoon. She is in charge of their hotel bookings, daily transportation, food and itinerary for the entire trip. After the greetings and short introduction, they went outside to wait for their Van. Since they are still waiting for the van that Miss Rivera arranged for them she decided to go to the washroom to freshen up.

"Excuse me, I'll just go to the wash room. I'll just leave my luggage here and be back soon." then she headed to the washroom after receiving a confirmation nod from the representative.

On her way to the restroom her phone rings, while busy looking for her phone inside her bag, she suddenly bumped into someone then the phone fell on the floor and the call ended.

"Can't you look where your going?!" an irritated but familiar voice startled her. While standing up she spoke timidly while looking at the owner of that voice. "oh, I'm really sorry. I was just … "unable to finished her sentences, Sammie abruptly look down once she noticed the familiar face of the man in front of her. Stunned for a few second she suddenly run inside the women washroom "Sorry! I really am. Sorry again!" she blasted while running inside holding her face by both hands.

"Weird!" annoyed by her actions, President Lee brushed off his shoulder, straighten his coat then head outside to get in the car with his assistant.

Inside the washroom Sammie is still in shock. Looking in the mirror her face is as red as an apple.

"You looked different today Sammie, I'm sure he will not recognize you. But, why is he here? Is it a business meeting? But, I heard Sally mentioned that he doesn't have any out of the country scheduled trip till next month that's why they always worked overtime. But ... what if he recognized me, oh no, that would be a disaster!" talking to herself while tensing up.

"hmm, maybe he didn't recognize me otherwise he won't let me off that easily." Thought Sammie while washing her face in the lavatory as means of pacifying herself.

"Sammie, Relax. Inhale. Exhale. Smile." while looking at herself in the mirror. She puts on her favorite lipstick and brush her hair then head outside to join the group, who were still waiting outside.

After settling in the hotel room, Sammie spend the remaining afternoon unpacking her things. She still can't decide what to wear for tomorrows event. Since the weather in Singapore is relatively humid she had a hard time deciding. After contemplating she ended up picking a black skinny jean, a short sleeves white crop top and a pink bull cap to be pair with white snickers. At six in the evening Sammie together with her roommate Ivy went down the hotel lobby to meet with the radio show crew and other winners for dinner.

After they comfortably sat on one of the table in the hotel's restaurant the waiter walked up to them. He started giving the menus then waited patiently for their order.

"I want to try their Laksa, I want to know if it's really delicious compared to what we have in Manila." It's Dan one of the winners.

"I want Chili Crab and plain rice please" followed by the Ms. Rivera. Soon after others started giving out their orders.

"Do you have Pad Thai?" Sammie asked the waiter while still staring at the menu.

"Yes, ma'am we do?

"Well then give me 1 order of Pad Thai and Lemonade please, thanks" then gave the menu back to the waiter. She was enjoying the restaurants ambiance when suddenly her sight caught on the two men on the next table opposite them.

"Wait, Is that Mr. Kim? And President Lee? Don't tell me are on the same Hotel? You got to be kidding me? What do I do then?" uttered Sammie who started to panic in disbelief.

"Or maybe they're just here to meet with a Client. Anyway I'll just do my best to avoid them. Right! avoid them!" She shocked her head twice and looked on the other side and pretended she didn't see them while tapping her fingers on the table.

With their presence she suddenly became cautious about her movements and behavior but she still managed to hide it enough for the group not to notice.

On the opposite table,

"…regarding that land, make an appointment early next week; we'll negotiate with them." He wants to add more but suddenly stops since he notices that the person opposite him is spacing out. "Mr. Kim" still no answer. "Mr. Kim!" with an angry and annoyed tone he called again his assistant.

"Yes President Lee!" answers the assistant without really understanding his last statement.

President Lee didn't talk and silently watched his assistant sneakily looking at a woman on the opposite table. He furrowed his brows and placed his right hand on this chin while he laid his back on the chair "This man just married two months ago and is already checking on girls, what a faithful man he is, Unbelievable!" he thought sarcastically

Feeling a cold stare at him, assistant Kim turned his head and give President Lee a gentle smile and started explaining himself as if he was questioning him purposely.

"President Lee, that lady over there seems really familiar. It's like I saw her from somewhere I just can't remember where?" He keeps looking back and forth to the lady he was referring to. Curiously, President Lee looked on that woman's direction. After a few seconds he remembered that is the same woman who bump at him in the airport washroom. He then suddenly creased his brow showing an annoyed expression.

Seeing his face like that, assistant Kim felt terrified and started swallowing his saliva and thought that President Lee is annoyed at him for spacing out. He is ready to apologize but he suddenly stands up.

"Go pay the bill" then left the restaurant to go his room. The assistant then paid the bill and then gave her one last glance before heading back to his own room.
