I felt so much happy because my two best friends were accompanied me for shopping. As we walked from shop to shop, I discovered that I was the one with the most bags of clothing, shoes and other accessories while Ella and Hebe each was holding three bags of clothes only. It was really tired holding these bags while walking, if Calvin was here certainly he would help me to carry some of these. All of a sudden, I was starting to miss his company.
“Hey, can we take a seat and have a drink first before we continue to shop?” Ella suddenly asked.
“Sure, let’s go to McDonalds.” I said.
“There’s an empty table over there.” Hebe pointed to us.
“You girls order first, I need to go to washroom. By the way, help me to order a cup of coffee and a regular French fries. Thanks.”
“Okay, no problem.”
I passed my shopping bags to Ella and walked away to the washroom.
After coming out from the washroom, I walked over to the exit to make a call to my husband as the cell phone signal reception was not clear in the building.
“Hey Cal, where are you now?”
“I’m with Chun now at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf right across the SOGO department store. We’re now doing some preparations and decorations there since we have booked the whole restaurant from 11am to 5pm.”
“Cal, you’re brilliant. The whole decoration must be real cool and I can’t wait to see it. Thanks Cal, I love you.”
“I love you too! What time you girls will be coming? Now is already 12:30pm”
“I will bring them over around 2pm. Hey, don’t need to worry, I’ll give you a call again, make sure you don’t miss it...hehe…”
“Yeah, I won’t miss it. Don’t forget, I’ll be waiting for your call to save the day for both of them…”
“I won’t forget, I promise. Bye.”
“Bye, see you later.”
After the call, I made my way back happily to McDonalds to join the girls.

Aaron’s POV
“Wow, I love the beef stew noodle, it’s really good!”
“Yeah, do you want to order another bowl?”
“No, it’s enough, besides I still want to taste other food as well. I mean it’s been a long time since I last eaten here. I really missed the local food!”
“Haha…don’t need to rush, you will get the chance to taste it starting from today now on.”
“Yeah, I guess so...”
“Why you seem not too happy to stay here?”
“It’s not like that, Jason…just that this place is full of sad memories.”
“I know how you feel Aaron, but sometimes we must learn to put down the past and move forward to live and enjoy our life to the fullest. I believe your parents are watching you from heaven now and they want you to be happy too. You are their only son, thus you must stay strong and make them proud of you.”
“I understand what you’re trying to say. I promise I will never let them down. Thanks Jason.”
“So have you ready to take over the job as CEO? It will be a little bit tough at the beginning, but I’m sure you can do it. Besides, you don’t need to worry as I already talk to Calvin and he is willing to assist you in your work until you’re familiar with it.”
“Calvin? Who is he?”
“He is your father’s best employee in the company and your father trusted him well. He never failed to carry out the tasks that your father gave him, and he is well known for his capability and commitment in his work and also his experience in the advertisement line.”
“How you know him so well?”
“I met him a couple of times when he came over to the house to discuss things related to work with your father. From my point of view, he is a friendly, trustable and helpful person. When your parents had passed away, he helped out in stabilizing the messy situation in the company before you take over the place. You see, every worker is worried that the company will go bankrupt and they will be jobless.”
“Jason, I must really thank him for what he did to save the company. I can’t wait to meet him tomorrow.”
“Yeah, I bet you should.”
“Jason, I need you to be my advisor and helping me out to choose the right clothes.”
“Okay, let’s go now.”
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
Chun’s POV
“Calvin, you think all this is going to work?”
“Yeah, trust me…I’m sure that Hebe’s heart will be soften once she sees all the preparation you have done for her.”
“I hope you’re right.”
The whole restaurant was decorated with LED Flash Mood Light in seven colours LED light. Calvin told me that this was the perfect way to create a relaxing and romantic mood. Perhaps he was right.
I was lucky to have Calvin as my best friend. Without his help, I really don’t know what I should do to get Hebe back. I knew I still love Hebe, but simultaneously I had this crazy feeling for Ella. I knew I had to settle my own feeling fast before I hurt both of them in the end. I guess I had no choice but to let go the feeling I had for Ella, and besides she already had Jiro.
“Ahh…Chun, have you bought the flower for Hebe?”
“Oh, I nearly forget about that too. I’ll go and buy now.”
“But don’t go too long, okay. They will be here anytime soon.”
******************
I walked to the nearby florist shop and stepped in. The woman in the shop welcomed me and smiled at me.
“Anything I can help, young man?”
“Madam, I want to buy flowers for my wife. Err…please wrap up these fifty red tulips for me.”
“You make a good choice, our tulips are the freshest tulips you can get in town and fresher tulips are better tulips too. I bet your wife will be very much happy to receive this.”
“Thanks, how much I need to pay?”
“Okay, let me see…all together TWD2000 after discount.”
“Here, keep the change.”
“Thanks young man, please come again.”
(A/N: The tulip stands for perfect love and each shade expresses some different emotion of life. A red tulip is regarded as passionate, vibrant flowers and signifies a true declaration of love and passion)
After paying for the flowers, I walked back to the restaurant. I hope Hebe will be happy to receive the flowers I specially bought for her.

Hebe’s POV
“Selina, can we continue with our shopping? I still need to look for some accessories. I don’t know what I should wear to work tomorrow.”
“Haha, don’t worry dear, we will help you to do the matching of clothes, right Ella?”
“Yes, and we will see the lovely Hebe tomorrow, hehe…”
“Thanks, I’m so glad to have both of you with me now.”
“Come on, let’s continue our walk.” Selina said.
As we walked and chatted happily, I can’t help but felt emptiness in my heart. I realized I really missed Chun, I wonder what was he doing now? I know I refused to answer his call, but can’t he take the first step to look for me instead of waiting for me to call him back? Why he still didn’t come to look for me? Does he really want to end our marriage? Or perhaps Selina was right about him of having another woman in his life? Who was the woman? Was she better than me that made him loves her that much?
Suddenly, I felt myself bumped into someone. I raised my head and found myself staring at the tall handsome guy with a cool look.
“I’m sorry…” that guy apologized to me.
“I’m sorry too…it is my fault too as I didn’t look where I’m going.”
Ella and Selina turned back and walked over to where I’m standing now.
“Hey Hebe, are you all right?”
“Yeah, I think we better go now.”
I glanced at him and found that his eyes studied me for a few seconds. He smiled suddenly, catching me off guard with a surprising display of charm. I think he actually looked nice when he smiled.
“We also have to go now. See you around.”
I returned his smile. “Yeah, see you around.”
We continued hopped in every single shop until we felt tired to move anymore.
“Hey, why don’t we go for lunch now? I’m very hungry.” Selina asked suddenly.
“Yeah, where should we have lunch?” I asked both of them.
“I know the right place for lunch, let’s go.”
Ella and I followed her out of the shopping centre.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
Selina’s POV
I took out my cell phone from my bag and started to call Calvin. I hope they were ready by now.
“Cal, we’re coming over now. Everything get ready?”
“Yes, we’re waiting for you girls now.”
“Okay, see you soon…”
“Bye…”
