Junia was so overcome with Anthony's charm that she would be willing to do anything just to get this man.
After buying drinks for them, Junia came back to Anthony. He handed her the movie ticket and urged her to enter the cinema.
Junia gleefully looked for a convenient seat for both of them. Anthony was behind her. When she found the best spot, she turned to Anthony, only to find out that he had already seated at the last row.
She wrinkled her nose and complained,"Anthony, what are you doing there? Why don't you sit beside me?" Junia got disappointed to see Anthony afar. Meanwhile, other movie goers urged her to give way.
Junia had no other choice but to wait for other movie goers to settle in their seats before she could go back to where Anthony was seated. When she approached him, she couldn't hide the displeasure in her voice. "Why did you choose to sit here and leave me alone there?"
"This is my seat," Anthony replied coolly. "There were no available seats next to each other, so I've only gotten two separate seats," he explained.
When he noticed Junia's seething indignation, Anthony dismissed her roughly,"Go back to your seat now. The film is about to start. You should enjoy it."
Junia wasn't aware that Anthony purposely ordered two separate tickets, so he could stay away from her during the movie. Although Anthony acceded to Laura's demand to see a movie with Junia, he didn't intend to pretend to like her.
Junia was really furious because of Anthony's indifference. However, she didn't have any choice but to contain her anger since they were in a public place.
Junia didn't pay much attention to the movie all throughout. Besides, the only reason she was here was to get close to Anthony yet she failed. After the movie, Anthony went out first. Junia who was still boiling with anger, rushed towards him and shouted,"Anthony, stop!"
"Miss Sun, what's up?" Anthony glanced at Junia with a sneer. "I think I have already fulfilled my duty to accompany you to a movie. Is there anything else?" he added.
"You..." Junia trailed with clenched fists. She then rebuked Anthony,"Can you justify your slighting treatment on me? Am I not good enough to win your heart?"
Anthony tried to pacify Junia. He tried to explain,"Miss Sun, you must understand that we don't have any romantic connections."
All the while, Junia thought that Anthony was also like her previous boyfriends who easily got attracted with her beauty and family background.
Junia was not satisfied, so she kept on forcing Anthony for a proper explanation.
"Anthony, is it because of my looks?" Junia asked Anthony.
Anthony shook his head gently and replied,"Miss Sun, you are a very beautiful woman."
"Then, is it because of my family background? Do you not find it suitable to yours?"
