Coincidence
The ⛅ shines brightly the next morning.
Leo knocks repeatedly on the door.
Leo
Sir, are you awake? Sir, please open the door.
Jackson
(Annoyed) Y..yes.. I don't think I have set such a big alarm clock.
Leo
Madam has requested to have breakfast with you. She wants you to wash up immediately.
Jackson
Now? *Looks at the time* It's only 8am!
Leo
Madam will be waiting at the dining area.
10 minutes later, Jackson came down to the dining room.
Janet
*Looks at Jackson back and forth*
Janet
You are looking good son! No wonder you are my dear son.
Jackson
*Stood firmly* Of course, I always am...
Janet
That's why I have arranged for you an excellent girl! You will be going on a date later, at 2pm. Do not miss that.
Jackson
Chotto matte! Why should I go on a date with someone I never even met?!
Janet
Son, you haven't been seeing any girls at all. We are all getting anxious about your future.
Janet
That's set! Just get to know her more and slowly go out with her. Who knows, you might actually like her.
Jackson
Fine.. I will meet her for your sake.
2pm, Jackson arrived at the Cafe.
Iris
Hi, I'm Iris! My mother told me about the arrangement. You must be Jackson right?
Jackson
Yes, I'm Jackson. Look, actually I'm not...
Iris
Wow, you are really good looking. I have only seen your photos, and I can't believe you are my date! (Love-struck fool mode)
Jackson
Ahem.. thank you for saying that. But actually I'm..
Iris
Oh and you look really tall, just like my ideal type of guy! Let's stand up and see how we look together!
At the same time, Charlotte and her best friend, Sophia, walked into the Cafe.
Jackson
(Isn't that the girl from yesterday? I might really have to use her help to escape this date.)
Jackson
Baby! I have been waiting for you to have lunch with me. Are you happy to see me? *Looking at Charlotte with pleading eyes*
Jackson
Baby, I know that you are hungry right now. Let's get going! *Grab on Charlotte's hand and walked out of the Cafe*
Iris
Wait, what?! You are leaving with another girl? What about me!
Jackson
Table for two, please. Thank you.
Jackson
Phew. Thank god, I'm safe now.
Charlotte
Uhm, are you going to tell me what's going on?
Jackson
Oh, uhm..well. It's just my mother's request to attend the date. I don't know her at all.
Jackson
Besides, I gave you my favourite ice cream yesterday to cheer you up. Let's take it as returning the favour alright?
Charlotte
Ahh, now I remember. You are the guy yesterday. About that.. thank you.
Jackson
You don't have to be. I just thought you might need some help. So, are you feeling all better now?
Charlotte
Yes, I guess so.. it's nothing much. Don't mind me.
Jackson
Ok. I understand. Anyway, let's order some food. It's my treat, go ahead and choose your menu.
Charlotte
Really? Then I shall not hold back...
That lunch, Charlotte has ordered over 10 dishes and costs about $$$. Girls going through a heart ache deserves a feast. No wonder Jackson did not have a girlfriend, right?
