HAESUNG UNIVERSITY**
MRS HWANG'S OFFICE ( OWNER OF THE SCHOOL)**
Vince is standing in front of her, looking indifferent but the woman is obviously angry.
"Vince I wasn't expecting this from you, you should know this as the brightest English student, we did a lot before we were able to persuade Miss Arizona to come for the seminar but you ruined it perfectly" she said.
Vince kept quiet, still looking indifferent.
"You need to go apologise to her else your scholarship will be terminated" she said.
" I was just.... correcting her' he said flatly.
"Correcting a first class graduate of Oxford?, Bravado!, Just go apologise if you still love to be a student here" she said.
He bowed and left the office, meeting Chrissy outside.
"How was it in there?" She asked quickly.
"She told me to go apologise to her else my scholarship will be terminated" he replied.
"Then do that, I'll follow you" she said.
"I have to start going now" he said.
"I'll follow you to your part time jobs today" she said.
"Why?' he asked.
"I have nothing to do at home if I leave now, I'll just wait till you're done with the four then we can go home together" she replied.
He started walking away and she smiled.
"Wait for me!' she said, rushing after him.

9PM, THE MENDELSSOHN'S HOUSE**
Vince came down from Chrissy's car and she did same.
"Thanks for the ride" he said.
"This locket" she said, looking at the necklace on his neck.
The pendant is a shinny locket, it's beautiful.
"What about it?" He asked, touching it
"You seem to treasure it a lot, it's always on your neck, whose picture is in the locket?" She asked.
" Who knows" he replied and she smiled.
"I knew you won't tell me, i have something for you" she said, bringing it out of the car.
She placed the big box on his hands and quickly got in the car.
"Bye!" She waved, driving off.
Vince went in with the box and Blaze snatched it from him immediately.
"What's in?" He asked.
"I dunno" Vince replied, dropping his books before going to Alena.
He hugged her dearly.
"Did you use your drugs already?" He asked.
"Trust me" she smiled, pecking him.
"My boss at H_HEY gave me two months advance payment, we can pay two months rent for now then we'll deal with the remaining four later" he said.
" Sneakers!" Blaze gasped after opening the package.
"I wish it's mine!" He gushed.
"You can have it" Vince said.
" Really?" Blaze gasped.
" Yes"
" Thanks big bro!".
"Who's it from?" Alena asked.
"A friend" Vince replied and checked her drug envelope.
They're left with just ten of it.
"How do we get money for another pack of it before ten days" Blaze said.
"I'll take care of it" Vince replied.
" A friend informed me about a job she found, I have to be the personal maid for a girl, I think I should try it out" Alena said.
" You're not allowed to work with your condition" Vince said.
" I want to" she insisted.
"No mum" Vince replied, going in.
Blaze tried out the sneakers and smiled, remembering Havana's face.
The angelic smile and charms.
Vince got into the room he shares with Blaze and took off his shirt.
He walked past the mirror but he came back.
He looked at the necklace on his neck and touched it.
"Is she still in Korea?" He thought, remembering her face.
The face of the helpless girl at Unicorn elementary school fifteen years ago.
He rubbed the necklace repeatedly.
"I miss her" he whispered.

ARIZONA'S MANSION**
The right description for it is an heavenly castle.
Most of the decors are pure gold and diamonds.
Most pools have blue water but the pool has peach coloured water instead cos it's her favorite color.
It has a large number of guards guarding it every minute.
Maids are numerous and she has a lot of drivers who work on shifts.
Arizona came downstairs, wearing a transparent white nightie.
She's holding a cup of red wine which she's sipping from time to time.
She went to the cage beside her study where her parrot is.
She smiled when she got to the cage, her parrot (Pepper) purred.
"What's up Pepper" she smiled, touching it's beak.
She got a memo on her phone, sent by Ligament.
"I have so many appointments tommorow, and....a blind date?" She gasped and quickly dialled Yang's number.
" What's that rubbish you sent?" She queried.
"Your parents told me to add it to your schedules tommorow, you have the date by 8pm and...
"Are you having fun by telling me what I don't want to hear?, I'll have to go sit with a guy and force myself to smile?, Ligament why are you doing this!" She said, clenching her fist.
"Calm down Arizona, you can just reject it and I'll knock it out of your schedule" Yang said.
Arizona smiled knowingly.
" Don't cancel it, I'm in" she said.
"Really?"
She hung up and smiled.
" Let's see how it goes" she said and faced Pepper.
" It'll be so fun!" She said and walked to the living room.
"My best drama is starting now, put on the TV" she ordered and a maid obeyed.
Another maid brought her tissues and popcorn.
"Let's get started" she said, concentrating on the TV.

NEXT DAY, 8AM**
KRYSTAL GROUP OF COMPANIES**
"Welcome boss!, Welcome boss!" The greetings of her staffs filled her ears as Arizona entered the company.
"Work hard today everyone!" She said loudly.
"Yes miss!" They chorused.
"The sweet juice is always available if you slack off or make a mistake...ok!" She said authoritatively.
" Yes miss!" Everyone chorused again.
She smiled widely and entered the elevator with Yang.
"Today is a good day, you're in a good mood, wasn't expecting you to smile" Yang said.
" So you came with a bowl to collect my tears?, Huh?, You were expecting me to cry?" She snickered.
" You got me wrong I....
"Enough" she interrupted, smiling again.
They got to her floor and they both came out of the elevator.
"You have two visitors boss" secretary Ming reported.
"Two visitors?"
"Yes, I made them wait in the office" Ming replied and Arizona entered the office.
Her eyes widened when she saw Vince ...he actually came with Chrissy.
"Anaconda" she said.
Vince stood with Chrissy and Arizona smiled with the corner of her lips as he walked to her.
"What?, Are you here to tell me my existence is wrong too?" She said.
Thanks to her heels they're almost same height.
"I was told to apologise for correcting you when you were wrong" he said and she rolled eyes.
" Wrong?, I hate that word" she glared.
He only stared without blinking.
" Thought you're here to apologize" she said.
He brought out a flyer from his pocket and gave it to her.
" What's this?" She said, taking it.
Surprisingly, it's a restaurant flyer.
" Do visit our restaurant, I came to give you that" he said.
" Vince" Chrissy whispered beside him.
Yang giggled.
Arizona looked up at Vince, glaring hard.
"Did you get shot at the head?"
