HUNTING MR. RIGHT FORTY
Avelyn sighed out the number of times she waited for Lean to speak to him. They had been on this patio for more than thirty minutes. The patio of a fancy restaurant that Lean ordered with great emotion to the receptionist. Really Avelyn didn't know why Lean's mood had gotten this bad. Even before the shoot started, the man was still so calm and enjoying his attitude that managed to make Avelyn stiffen. But after Avelyn was done with her shoot an hour and a half later, Lean suddenly stopped his car right in front of Avelyn's body who was standing on the road, then told the woman to get into the car with a flat face. "Are you going to...." "I have more than five businesses I need to take care of, Avelyn." Cut Lean quickly with a hiss. "Okay Mr. Busy!" Avelyn replied loudly as she rested her hands on the table to support her head. She was tired of waiting for the man to chat with his interlocutor who occasionally accompanied the loud voice of Lean because he was angry or maybe disapp
HUNTING MR. RIGHT FORTY ONE
Silence engulfed them for a moment. Somehow she had to face the statement Lean had thrown at her. Lean's face now felt unattractive in her eyes. Not that Lean had just told her any of his secrets... or maybe it was a disgrace. She have no idea. What was clear was that Avelyn felt that looking at Lean's face now was not a good choice. Apart from being confused about how to respond to that man's statement, she also didn't know what to do in front of Lean. If she shows a sympathetic face, he may become even angrier because she feels pity. After all, a man has a sky-high ego that is very difficult to break. And if he had told her the darkest secret that man had, it could be because Lean wanted something from her. "Are you surprised?" "A little. What happened to you?" "Accident." "Oh, sorry. I don't mean to make you have to remember that bad incident. But what is clear, I'm confused to react in front of you. I'm afraid you will be offended." "Yes. Since you laughed earlier, I've been
HUNTING MR. RIGHT FORTY TWO
Avelyn was still on her stomach as the cell phone she had placed on the nightstand near her bed kept ringing. Avelyn lazily grabbed a pillow and stuffed her ears with the thick, but soft pillow to block out the sound of her cell phone. Today she doesn't want to pick up phone calls from anyone. At eight o'clock she had gotten a call from Winnie, Lean's secretary, if she was asked to come to the office at nine. But now the clock has shown half past nine. She did not want to fulfill that request. After all, why would she go to the office if she had just finished a photo shoot yesterday. As far as she knew there was no new shooting schedule for today. And Avelyn assumed he was making excuses to meet her. Yesterday's incident probably left Lean wondering and wanted to clarify it directly to her. But she was reluctant to do so because she did not know the reason behind her yesterday's stupid attitude. Suddenly Lean kissed her, the memory of Michael jostled back into her brain, and then she
HUNTING MR. RIGHT FORTY THREE
Twenty-three minutes later Avelyn arrived at Lean's office in a mess. What a mess she is this afternoon because she has to go up to Lean's office using the stairs. She should be able to arrive in exactly twenty minutes as she promised him. But because the elevator was too full, and she was in a hurry, she was forced to do the foolish thing by walking up seven floors using stairs. And because of all that mess, Avelyn looks pretty messy from head to toe. Her fine hair started to sweat and get greasy. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat so profusely that it ran down the side of her face. And when she arrived at the seventh floor she was panting for breath. "Have you arrived?" Avelyn glared at Lean. When she entered the room, he was busy calling and only glanced at her. Her presence this afternoon was not appreciated at all. Even though earlier she only got dressed and took a shower within seven minutes. The rest she does everything in the car. Including eating a sandwich that

Letha is sorting out shampoo and detergent in minimarket. Since moving to LA, this is the first time Letha take Hill to shop at the convenience store near her apartment. So far, Letha prefers to shop alone than with Hill because that kid will definitely mess up. As happened today. When she was busy sorting things out, Hill was busy running around showing the items he wanted to put in the cart. Fortunately, Letha's one loud shake succeeded in making the boy silent and did not dare to ask for anything. But his active stance that keeps running here and there makes Letha really dizzy. Being a single parent for Hill isn't easy, Letha thought bitterly. Sometimes she regrets the rejection she gave Lean a few months ago when the man volunteered to start a harmonious family. But after meeting Lean some time ago, Letha became relieved because she did not accept Lean's offer quickly. What happens if she really lives with Lean, and then that man suddenly has a woman he likes and wants to have? S

Lean nailed his gaze only on the busy street in front of him. He avoided Avelyn and all the things she wanted to talk about as much as possible. He didn't want to talk about anything now. He wasn't in the mood for that. But how much longer would Avelyn be able to stop herself from talking to him? Since then Avelyn immersed herself in the music on her headset. Just now Avelyn took off her headset and stretched her arms in the air to squirm like a cat from getting tired of their long journey. So she'll definitely be discussing Hill in a bit. "Would you like something to drink?" Avelyn took a plastic bag of their food in the passenger seat. She rummaged through the plastic for a bottle of diet soda, and then turned to Lean, who had been silent all this time. "Aren’t you thirsty? You haven't had anything to drink since." "Mineral water please." Avelyn hasn't commented on his weirdness yet. But she will do it after this. "I can change you driving if you're tired." "I'm fine." Avely

"I booked two rooms." "Sorry, we only have one room left." "Then it won't work. Let's go." "I'll book that one room." "What are you doing?" Avelyn glared at Lean who was doing a deal with the motel clerk. Anxiously, she stuffed her hands into her trousers pockets, then looked at the motel clerk who happened to be a woman with glasses with a fierce gaze. "This is all that's left, you can't force your will, Ave." "Let's find another motel!" said Avelyn stubbornly. "The next motel is seven miles from here." Quick as lightning Avelyn cast a glare at the woman which implied that she wasn't asking her to speak, so why was she talking. Feeling stared at her very fiercely, the woman became afraid and immediately busied herself with the guest book which she tried to flip through to fill the void of time. "Did you hear that? Seven miles! I'm not sure we'll get there whole without the storm. Or if you are desperate to go there, it might just be your head or your body that will get there
HUNTING MR. RIGHT FORTY SEVEN
Lean smiled faintly as he felt Avelyn's body next to him. That naive woman was not as tough as he thought. Still she will give in to her ego and decide to sleep next to him because that woman must be just as tired as himself. But it was funny to think of Avelyn who was now next to him. Did he ever think he would do this with Avelyn when Michael was around? Of course the answer is no! In fact he never bothered to deal with the fierce Avelyn. Slowly Lean moved closer to Avelyn, eroding the distance between them and removing Avelyn's ridiculous barrier. Think about barrier like that is only made for toddlers, not grown men with a passionate desire to touch women. Silly woman. In an instant Lean was very close to Avelyn. The tips of Avelyn's wavy hair tingled on Lean's face who craved a woman's touch. How long had he not been this close to a woman? Lean groaned silently as he felt Avelyn's warmth in his palm. He thought, this is fun. It was his inferiority complex that made him afraid to
