OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 494 SIGNS OF SERIOUSNESS
Grace was a little anxious to wait for Stevan's arrival which until this afternoon did not arrive. Even though before leaving last night, the man said that he would come again this morning, in fact until the morning became noon his nose was not yet visible.
“His phone is also inactive, where the hell is he?” Grace grumbled uninspired, sitting on the living room couch hoping to hear the bell. He wanted to be the first to welcome her.
“What are you doing Grace?” Kao Jing walked over to Grace, her steps somewhat limped but she forced herself to do it herself. Kao Jing would be angry if Grace tried to help him, and Grace simply resignedly saw her father struggling on his own to walk without his help. Actually, Kao Jing's condition is not too problematic, only has not fully recovered and he should not be too much activity.
“Oh... no dad, nothing Grace can do yet.” Grace muttered with a smile, trying to cover up her heartbreak.
Kao Jing squinted her eyes at the girl, looking somewhat restless and covering up something. Kao Jing pura is insensitive and does not want to rub it first, he walked and sat next to his daughter. “Hmm... Grace, what's your next plan? What do you want to work here?” Kao Jing asked seriously, once she approved Grace coming here to facilitate her mission of getting Grace to marry Xiao Jun, but after all that happened was not what she wanted, she said, he also did not know what his daughter could do here without the hope of marrying a rich man again.
Grace was silent about what her father was asking, she had not had time to think that far, even now her thoughts were only about Stevan and expected the man to immediately give her a clearer hope of their relationship. Unfortunately Grace couldn't possibly have urged Stevan to propose to her immediately, she could only hope that the man would not delay the goodwill.
“See dad, I haven't thought too. I've played a movie here before. But because of the incident at that time, it feels like the film will be off air.” Grace was disappointed, but it was the debut she was looking forward to. Until now there is no good news about the film's premiere plan, it is likely to be canceled because one of the main cast can not be found again.
Kao Jing gasped, not expecting that Grace turned out to be quite agile looking for opportunities here. “Dad amazed you, even though you haven't lived here long but already fluently mastered the language. And also I think that you are holding hands and relying on Xiao Jun here, it turns out that you have a good busyness. I'm really proud of you, Grace.”
Grace smiled faintly, her father's pride too early. “But not many know Grace's artist here dad. If Stevan and Yue Hwa had no doubt, they have been crowned king and queen of drama.”
“They started from the bottom, don't forget that process. Be patient and you will reach the top. Oya, where is the young man? Are you busy at work?” Kao Jing asked Stevan intentionally.
Grace's facial features instantly changed as soon as Kao Jing brought up her lover. Until now, he is still waiting for the bell to ring or at least the message he sent since this morning he replied. Grace sighed, not knowing who to ask until when she would wait. “Not knowing dad, he hasn't had any news until now.” Grace said softly, sadly it can no longer be covered.
Kao Jing smiled, she knew the concussion of her daughter and just lured her to an honest talk. “Grace, father is also a man. He can be trusted to take care of you. Has he introduced you to his family?” Kao Jing asked, hoping that Grace would soon be cheered on by Stevan, seeing that the young man loved his son and that he did not want to be an obstacle.
Grace's lips were instantly sweet, half of which she felt happy but the rest she thought about Kao Jing's question. If Grace thought about it, Stevan had never intended to introduce Grace to her family. Wouldn't if they were planning to get married, he still had to get to know his future father-in-law? “Not yet father.. don't know.” Grace replied uninspired.
Kao Jing was speechless and astonished as well, the style of young people courting their respective choices was complicated. Reverse with the way of matchmaking, where the will of the parents is the important role. If it were not for parental consent based on friendship or business considerations, matchmaking might not have occurred. But this time Grace who chose her own prospective companion, and she has not yet known what the figure of her lover's parents. Does she like Grace and accept her as the one Stevan chooses to marry? Kao Jing is also worried about the fate of her daughter's romance.
Amidst the complexity of their minds, the bell Grace was waiting for sounded. Spontaneously startling Grace who was thinking about her father's question, she gasped and glanced at her father enthusiastically. “But aye, dad.” Grace muttered hurriedly to her feet.
Fang Fang was seen half running towards the door, Grace's eyes widened to see it and she shouted. “Let me aja Fang!”
“Eh?” Fang Fang was dumbstruck, even though his hand had already stuck to the handle. Her nonanya screams undo the intention of her who just moved her hand and opened the door. “Alright miss...” Fang Fang escapes from there, letting Grace take over her job.
Grace's smile grew full, at least that's what she wanted to show Stevan. Sure enough, his efforts were not in vain because Stevan was immediately presented with a sweet smile that only lasted a few seconds. After Stevan returned the smile, Grace clenched her lips and turned sweet.
“Loh kok tejutekin anyway?” Stevan protested with a smile, obviously he was just joking around and hoping Grace would smile again.
Grace even cheated, “From where to? Hape is not active anyway, why try?” Angry Grace while folding both hands.
“Grace... guests are told to enter first, do not chat at the door.” Said Kao Jing who had been peeping from the inside since.
Grace was stunned, even her father was siding with Stevan. Stevan seemed to be smiling happily as he was being defended by Kao Jing, while Fang Fang was only as comfortable as a smile on the back.
“Log in, huh...” Pinta Grace is still sulking. He walked in first, letting Stevan follow him from behind and Fang Fang closed the door. They walked over to Kao Jing who was waiting on the living room sofa.
“Halo uncle, how are you today?” Stevan asked in Chinese, surprising Grace and Kao Jing. Grace stared in disbelief at Stevan, not expecting Stevan to learn fast enough and fluently said it. Not like the first time that the accent sounds weird.
Kao Jing chuckled, though surprised yet he was proud of the young man's efforts. “Good... I feel very good. Already, you two continue talking. I'd like a break in the room for a while.” Mumbled Kao Jing who knew himself and gave the two young men a chance.
“Uncle go to?” stevan asked Grace, afraid that his words would offend the old man.
Grace grinned for a moment then answered what Stevan asked. “Dad said to rest in the room first. Leave it alone, do not help or you will get angry.” Grace said just as Stevan was about to take Kao Jing.
Stevan paused his intention to help the old man, they simply escorted Kao Jing with a gentle gaze until the old man walked into his room. The atmosphere returned to silence, Grace continued her craving and sat down without letting Stevan sit down.
Fang Fang came in like an advertisement that appeared after the break of the show. The girl did not know the complicated atmosphere that occurred in the room, she just came to finish her task to serve drinks to guests. “Please miss, Stevan.” His words then rushed out of there before his ears turned red due to the current hot atmosphere.
Stevan stared softly at Grace, there was a sense of pleasure in seeing the girl care deeply for her. His annoyance is now just a form of protest because Stevan seems to ignore it.
“Grace... sorry yes, this morning I did not have time to recharge my phone. As soon as I got home last night, I fell asleep. In the morning my manager came to the apartment, he forced me to re-control the hospital to make sure I had recovered and was able to get back to work. I just realized that my phone was helpless, and after coming from the hospital, I immediately asked my manager to drive me here. Nih.... My phone has not been on until now.” Obviously Stevan is wide and remains calm.
Grace softens for a moment once she finds out the reason Stevan didn't think of her. He forgot that the man had been forced out of the hospital to go to Hong Kong, and that his body might not have recovered. Slowly Grace looked at the man gently, her anger subsiding alternating with anxiety. “Sit down, aren't you tired of standing still?” Pinta Grace keeps her prestige.
Stevan smiled and said to Grace, she was sitting right next to the girl.
“So what doctor said? You need to be treated again?” grace couldn't cover her worries anymore.
Stevan shook his head slowly, “I've healed well, it's okay and can be brought to work.” The answer calms Grace.
“Sgratitude.” Excited Grace breathing a sigh of relief.
“Sorry to make you anxious, but I'm glad you can worry about me. That's a sign you love me so much.” Ledek Stevan laughs.
Grace pinches lightly arm Stevan, “Apaan anyway.” Shame of shame.
“Grace, I'll be back filming soon. You are still interested in further careers in the entertainment world right? I can ask Dina to find a job that suits you.” Stevan is excited.
Grace was silent, her eyeballs staring fixedly at Stevan. There was something much more unsettling to his heart now, more than just his worries about work. Kao Jing's words kept him thinking, and Grace wanted to question him to Stevan at this moment.
“Stev... Are you serious about me?” Lirih Grace's.
Stevan gasped, not expecting his seriousness to be doubted by Grace. “Yes. I'm very serious about you. Wh why? Does anything make you doubt, Grace?”
Grace nodded slowly, she was honest with how she felt. “When will you know your parents to me? Shouldn't they also know me and know your seriousness to me?”
Stevan lowered his head, Grace's request was reasonable but heavy for him. Introducing Grace to her parents who were even lazy for Stevan to meet, it felt very difficult to be granted.
Grace looked at Stevan's silence anxiously, she couldn't guess the man's thoughts. “Why Stev? Is it that hard for you to introduce me to them? Dad said that if you were serious you should take me to see them. Who knows they don't like me..” Lirih Grace, that's what she's been worried about since.
Stevan shook his head quickly, refuting what Grace was worried about. “They like you, definitely like you!” Reply firmly.
Grace stared fixedly at her lover, not wanting to say anything but wishing to listen more from the man's lips.
“Just relax, I'll prove to you that they must like you, Grace!” Stevan is steady. Up to this point, he could not continue to dodge anymore. There is a heart that does not want him to be disappointed, and he is ready to swallow his disappointment as long as it can make happy the girl who has been willing to be by his side.
