Love Me Again (LMA)

LMA – Chapter Six

Luo An Hai crossed her arms, and ordered the trespasser into her office to avoid a public scene.

Han Ting Hua was impressed by Luo An Hai's art books collection.

'Why are you here?' she asked.

'I told you, to bring your lunch box,' he said.

He setup lunch on her desk. He brought her favorite desserts and a flask of hot tea.

'Uncle Luo asked the head chef to cook your favorite sweet dishes,' he said.

She looked conflicted at the slice of chocolate cake.

'How is my father?' she asked.

'He's good,' he said and sat on the chair in front of her desk.

He felt Luo Cheng Hua and Luo An Hai were two of a kind, they didn't want to show their real feelings in public.

She sat on her office swivel chair like sitting on a throne. 'When are you leaving my home?'

Her unwanted babysitter gave her no freedom. If she broke curfew he would threaten to report to her father.

'It's up to uncle Luo,' he said and sipped tea.

'Stop using my father to threaten me,' she said.

She hit her desk and took a deep breath because she didn't want her employees to overhear her private life.

It occurred to her that he enjoyed riling her since the day she stepped on dog shit. Why couldn't he stay the same little boy who didn't talk back to her because of Mai Fang's guilt toward her?

He stood up and looked into her eyes. 'Luo An Hai, I've made up my mind.'

She sat upright on her chair to distance herself from his body leaning over her desk.

'I'm not going to concede to you anymore,' he said.

She stood up, flinging her chair backward. The man in front of her had changed to the familiar man in her memories.

'I look forward to you losing the challenge,' she said. 'Now leave, I have work to do.'

Elle knocked on Luo An Hai's office door and interrupted the standoff.

'An, since when has your taste changed?' Elle asked, looking at Han Ting Hua. 'At least you're a cougar with good taste.'

'Even if I'm hungry, I wouldn't eat a little boy,' Luo An Hai said.

'An, are you and your lover boy having a love fight?' Elle asked.

'Elle, he's not my-' Luo An Hai said.

'I'm Han Ting Hua, you can call me Han,' Han Ting Hua said.

'Han Ting Hua... An's little brother?' Elle asked.

'He's not my little brother,' Luo An Hai said.

'She's not my big sister,' Han Ting Hua said.

Elle looked at Luo An Hai exchange a lover's glare with Han Ting Hua, and understood the root of Luo An Hai's rare foul mood at work.

'Elle, what do you need?' Luo An Hai asked.

'Oh, a male model for the ads you wanted done by next month,' Elle said. 'I haven't found the right male model. But it looks like he's here today.'

Luo An Hai shook her head at Elle.

'Han, do you want to model for An's company?' Elle asked.

'He can't,' Luo An Hai said. 'Mr. Han's a busy student.'
