Hearts Are Still Connected

"Why are you here? I told you to take a few days off," Taylor asked Anna. Anna smiled and replied, "I don't like staying at home. It suffocates me."

Taylor chuckled and instructed her to stay but not to do any work, just sit. Anna rested her head on the table, looking tired.

Taylor playfully remarked, "Hey, you're making me sleepy." Anna gazed at him wearily. "I think you should go for a walk," Taylor suggested.

As there were no customers, Taylor sat beside Anna.

He observed her for a moment and then proposed, "I think we should go on a business trip, like a vacation."

Anna turned her face toward him, listening intently. "I have a friend who plans trips for people," Taylor continued.

"The food and the hotels they provide are quite good, and they take you to different places in the area."

Anna contemplated, "I think it's a better way to get away from Porsche and forget him."

She expressed her desire to be in the mountains for a while, away from the world. Taylor eagerly agreed, "Okay, leave it to me.

I'll talk to my friend tomorrow. I'll handle all the bookings and let you know."

After staying at the store until 3:00 in the afternoon, Anna and Taylor decided to go out for lunch.

"I don't know what happened to her.

What made her go away from me.

Her eyes tell me that she is still in pain. I can't understand my feelings for her," Porsche expressed to Ken.

They were both sitting in the living room of the new apartment Porsche had bought four days ago. Ken bashfully replied, "I think that's love."

Porsche looked at Ken and chided him, "Why do you always joke around when I am having a serious talk?"

Porsche's mother then emerged from a room and placed some food before Ken and Porsche. Ken greeted her, "Hey, mother! How are you? Did you like the new house?"

Porsche's mother nodded and left. Ken then recounted, "The first time I saw your mother talking was when you got into the accident, and she was asking for Anna."

Porsche was taken aback. "I never mentioned Anna's name before Mom, even though she has met her," Porsche remarked.

Ken replied, "Maybe it slipped out of your mouth." Porsche nodded.

Porsche then leaned in closer to Ken and requested, "Ken, I need you to do something." Ken sighed in annoyance, "What now?" Porsche continued, "I need you to keep an eye on Anna."

Anna ordered Korean fried chicken, while Taylor opted for Chinese fried rice for lunch.

As they enjoyed their meals, Taylor began showing Anna pictures of various hilly areas, saying, "Well, these are some places that are quite good for vacations."

Anna, pointing at one of the pictures, inquired, "What is this place?" Taylor responded, "This place is called Banff. It is located in Canada. It is very beautiful, like a piece of heaven."

He continued, "But if you want to go to Banff, it will be a bit costly." Anna replied, "Well, I have some savings." Taylor excitedly added, "That's awesome!"

As they arrived back at the store, both Taylor and Anna seemed quite happy and excited about the trip they were planning.

Meanwhile, in a black Mercedes, Ken sat with his sunglasses on, observing their interaction from a distance.

He then started his car and left the area.

Anna was about to leave for tutoring as it was already 6:00. Just as she departed, Ken, who had left earlier, returned to the store.

He kept his gaze fixed on Anna until she was out of sight, then got out of his car and walked toward the store.

Once inside, Taylor appeared surprised by Ken's presence, and the latter quietly browsed the merchandise.

Ken eventually brought two banana ice creams to the counter, where Taylor was preparing the receipt on the computer.

"It's good to see you here," Taylor remarked, to which Ken responded, "You looked quite excited before."

Taylor, a little perplexed, didn't know how to respond. He smiled and added, "Actually, Anna and I are going on a business trip to Banff."

Ken gave a laugh and inquired, "Banff, Canada, right?" Taylor smiled and nodded, unaware of Ken's hidden motives.
