Aside from Teresa, there was also another woman who received the photo in which Arvin embraced Angela.
It was Lily. She immediately put on her eyeglasses, looked at the photo and laughed out loud. 'I know! Arvin and Angela are meant for each other! And Angela hasn't let me down. She let Arvin bring her to his apartment and they even hugged together. Even if they hadn't officially announced their relationship, they were definitely together! Never mind. I'll take my time and see how it goes. Good things came to those who waited. They would love each other more as long as they spent more time together...'
Angela didn't know about the fact that she was followed by a bunch of people. She was eating dinner with Arvin in the restaurant called Private Kitchen.
"Big wing..." Angela recalled the incident in his research and development laboratory and became really excited that she blurted Arvin's nickname out.
Arvin coldly glared at her. Angela instantly covered that embarrassment with a big smile. "Oh, dear handsome boy!"
"You know, decent people usually don't talk when they are eating."
"..." Fine! She would shut her mouth for a while.
After half an hour, Arvin and Angela walked out of the resturant. Arvin walked in long strides while Angela followed him in her baby steps. Soon, there was quite a distance between them so Angela had to run to keep up with Arvin. She grabbed his hand and said slowly, "Mr. Handsome with long legs, could you please walk slow?"
Arvin peered at her and opened his mouth, "Do you know why girls in South Korea call boys 'Handsome oppa with long legs?'"
Angela did not know about this. She just went there three times and they were all about sightseeing. Who ever cared about this stuff?
Calling boys 'handsome' was just a fashion. In most TV shows, the main characters always called boys 'handsome oppa, ' wasn't it?
"According to age, you're my 'oppa, ' aren't you?" 'Oppa in Korean meant big brother in Chinese. There was nothing wrong in it!' Angela thought to herself.
"Yes, it does mean big brother, but it was usually used for calling a person whom you are really familiar with and..." Suddenly, Arvin stopped walking and gazed into Angela's eyes while saying in a serious tone, "And only between close relationship."
Oh... The last sentence sounded a little over the top to Angela. She felt awkward.
Arvin didn't stop talking. He added, "If you are talking to an ordinary man or a man who you respect very much, you may add his first name before oppa."
'Really?' Angela never heard about this.
With her hand around Arvin's arm, Angela was confused but she didn't bother to think about it more. As soon as they reached the parking lot, Arvin gently pushed her to the door of his car. He leaned against the door with his arm and whispered in her ear, "So, you call me oppa because you have a close relationship with me?"
Wow wow wow! Arvin had such a beautiful voice, Angela almost immersed herself in it.
Deep in her heart, she'd like to nod. However, she decided to shake her head in disapproval just to save her face. She barked, "You wish!"
Then she quickly got into his car and sat on the front passenger seat.
At the same time when she opened the car door, there was an instant sadness in Arvin's eyes.
They soon arrived at Arvin's apartment. When they both changed into their slippers, Arvin held Angela's hand and recorded her fingerprint on the scanner found at the lock on his door.
Angela was so thrilled but she didn't act out. She just made a joke at him, "Don't you worry that I may steal things from you?"
After confirming that Angela's fingerprint could open his apartment door, Arvin causally closed the door and said, "Go ahead. Take whatever you like. You can move all my things away if you like."
"..." Actually, she didn't want anything, except...
Before she could say that out, Arvin looked at her eyes and he instantly knew what she was about to say. He immediately warned her, "Except my research and development laboratory!"
Angela was about to open her mouth, but when she heard his words, she shut it down immediately.
