Crashing Into You 256 20 MISSED CALLS?

She was falling inlove again with someone who doesn't love her in return. 

She was inviting another heartache again. 

She won't let it be. 

Never again. 

.....

On the next day, Tan Ja Nin came back to the city with the rest of the production team. Instead of going back to her apartment, she went directly to the Tan's Mansion. It was past 6 in the evening. 

Her mother was surprised when she saw her. She was comfortably sitting at the sofa while she was watching her favorite Sunday drama. Her mother loves to watch Chinese Drama so it somehow influenced her love for acting. Watching drama with her had become their usual bonding every weekend when she was still in High School and whenever they had time together.

"I thought, you've went out of town this weekend." Madam Tan asked but she was smiling at her and was glad to see her again. 

"I just came back today. How are you mom?" She asked. She placed her luggage near the sofa and sat down beside her mother. She placed her handbag on the sofa. 

"I'm doing good" Madam Tan answered. 

She looked at the tv screen and she was familiar with the drama that her mom was watching. It was a family-oriented drama being led by the top actress in China today, Chu Jiyou.

She never met Chu Jiyou in person yet but she already heard a lot of things about her. They were rumors that the reason why she got the big roles when she was just starting in the entertainment industry was because she used her body. She either had a one night stand or became a kept woman of the producers and directors that she worked with. But all of them were just rumors. If she looked at her face, she could not imagine that she could trade her body for fame because she looked so innocent. Her mom adores her too. 

"Isn't she beautiful?" Madam Tan asked when she noticed that she looking intently at Chu Jiyou. 

"She is." She embraced her. "Mom, will you support me if I enter the entertainment industry?" 

Madam Tan did not answer her. 

"Mom, what if one day you see me on tv acting with Chu Jiyou, what would you feel?"

Madam Tan looked at her and wasn't sure if she would take her words seriously. 

"Who's producer will invest on you?" Her mother asked. "And do you know how to act?" 

"I am learning. I am attending an acting workshop now." She answered. She thought it would be the best time to tell it to her mom. 

"You're just bluffing me, right?" Madam Tan asked. 

"I'm not. Actually I just came from filming my first commercial." She said nervously. She was crossing her fingers that Madam Yan will accept her decision of entering the entertainment industry since her mother loves watching Chinese Drama anyway. 

"Ja Nin, it's not a good joke." 

"But I'm not joking, mom!" She said with serious expression on her face. 

"Your Dad will definitely won't support you." Her mom said with on a serious note.

She lowered her head. "But will you support me?" 

Madam Tan hugged her back. "You know that I'll always support whatever dreams that you have. If you love acting that much, who am I to stop you from loving what you like" Madam Tan said and kissed her at the top of her head. "It just that I am worried for your father's reaction if he learns the reason why you doesn't want to take part of our business. You know that he always love to see you and Ji Nan working together to continue his legacy" 

She nodded. She was also a bit afraid. His father doted on her so much but she could not accertain that he won't get mad at her for entering the entertaient agency. 

"Can you help me tell Dad?" She asked her mom. 

"Did Ji Nan know about it?" Madam Tan did not answered her but asked her a question instead

"Uhm" 

"When is your commercial will be coming out?" 

"Maybe a week from now...." 

Madam Tan sighed . "I must find a perfect time to talk to your dad about it before your commercial goes out." 

"Thank you mom, you're the best in the world!" She said and kissed her all over her face. 

"Make sure that your commercial will turn out good so that it won't piss off your father." 

She smiled. "I am surely proud to say that my commercial was filmed perfectly." 

Madam Tan smiled too. "I can't wait to see you on the tv screen." She mumbled.

Tan Ji Nan giggled. "Me too! I can't wait to see myself." 

.....

Lee Jin Ho was seating at his car in front of Tan Ja Nin's apartment when he dialled her number but Tan Ja Nin was not picking up his calls. He stayed for an hour in front of her apartment while he was still trying to ca her and it was already dark and yet the lights on her apartment was not yet lit.

Where was she?

Wasn't she home.

But she said that will be coming back in the city by 6PM and it was almost 8PM and yet she still wasn't home? 

Did she encounter accident on her way home? 

He suddenly felt fear and called PA Jin. 

"Kindly check if the whole production team on Tan Ja Nin's commercial has came back to the B City now." Lee Jin Ho said and hang up the call. 

He didn't call nor text Tan Ja Nin yesterday because he doesn't want to disturb her while she was filming. He was calling Tan Ja Nin as soon as he woke up this morning but her phone was off. He tried calling her again in the afternoon but her phone was still off so he decided to go to her apartment instead to check on her. He was glad when her phone finally rang this time however she wasn't picking up his call. 

After 10 minutes, he received a call from PA Jin.

"Hello, President Lee. I talked to the travel agency manager and she told me that they've already arrived here in the city two hou..." PA Jin wasn't able to finish what he was about to say because President Lee hang up on him again. 

Lee Jin Ho thrown his phone into the passenger seat with greeted teeth. 

So she was back and she never even tried to inform him? 

What pissed him off more was her phone was off since this morning and when it turned on, he wasn't picking up his calls. 

Lee Jin Ho changed the shifting gear and drove away from Tan Ja Nin's place. 

.....

Tan Ja Nin's phone was in silent mode and was inside her bag so she didn't see Lee Jin Ho's calls earlier. 

20 missed calls?

Lee Jin Ho was calling her since 6:30 in the evening? 

She looked at her WeChat and saw his multiple messages too.

And he was angry? She frowned. 

If there should be someone who has the right to be angry was none other than but her. 

She scrolled down and read up to his last message and her face turned pale when she saw Lee Jin Ho message telling her to come into his apartment to tonight or else he will call Tan Ji Nan and will tell him that she was his gf. 

She suddenly stood up and took her handbag and her luggage.

"Are you going up to your bedroom now?" Madam Tan asked her. 

"I'm going home." She said apologetically 

"Why? Didn't you say earlier that you're going to spend the night here. Your Dad and your brother are already on the way home"

"There are together now?" She asked and she almost lost all the blood on her face. 

"Uhm. They were excited when I told them that you're here so they were rushing to come back home now so we can have dinner together." 

"I see..." She looked up desperately into the mansion's chandelier and thought that she could not leave. 

"I'm going to my room now." She said.

"Let the Butler carry your luggage up to your bedroom. It's heavy."

She nooded. She run into her bedroom on the second floor and immediately called Lee Jin Ho but his phone was busy. 

Her thoughts was running wild. Was he on the phone with his brother now? 

He dialled his brother number and it was busy too. 

No. It can't be. 

He dialled her brother's number again and it rang. 

"Why was your phone busy earlier?" She nervously asked when her brother picked up her call. 

"I just got off from a call with Lee Jin Ho." Tan Ji Nan answered in a flat voice. 

"a call with Lee Jin Ho? Did you call him or did he call you?" She asked stammeringly because she was so nervous.

"He called me." 

Tan Ja Nin shook her head. Trying to calm all her senses. 

No. No way. He didn't tell his brother about their relationship, right?
